I had a really cool/weird dream last night.

It started off with the Rumbelle family with imp!Rumple in this realm. They were married, and had Bae, Gideon and a younger sister. Then Agent Phil Coulson of Shield had to arrest Rumple for a crime he didn’t commit.

Coulson tried to be nice about it but there were listening devices all over the house, he said it was for the families safety but they didn’t trust him – Rumple was innocent!

Then the dream morphed and I was in a bar with Peggy Carter. I spotted this guy about to shoot her so I started to throw things at him – pens, a stapler, desk stuff that came to hand. He started shooting at me and Peggy took him out, then says that I saved her life. I said I didn’t really do anything and then … the next bit is a bit fuzzy but it’s the 1950′s and Peggy decides I need a makeover. I wind up in a dress and heels! (neither of which I would EVER wear) and I say that I can’t walk in heels, so Peggy tells me to run instead – I’ve now been made an assistant Shield agent.

Again it’s a bit fuzzy but then we’re at the 12th precinct but it’s still the 1950′s, and I’m going undercover as Castle’s new partner, as Ryan, Esposito and Beckett have to go somewhere on this old wooden plane. There’s some banter between Ryan and Esposito as Ryan doesn’t think he can fly the plane. We see them off and then start investigating … something?

Anyway, a bit later Castle realises what he had seen but not noticed – that the plane was sabotaged. That’s why I’d been put undercover. We try and get hold of a phone to call the police but nobody has one. For some reason we’re on my old street and knocking on all my old neighbours doors doing this. So we run all the way to the police station instead and tell them that they need to contact the plane before it falls out of the sky. The uniformed cop grabs his radio and goes “Mayday, mayday” and then says “ah wrong radio” then someone comes in and says there has been an explosion.

Cut to Castle sprinting across this open field, wooden debris everywhere, fire lighting up the night sky going “my wife’s in there!” and then Beckett, Esposito and Ryan appear out of the smoke, a bit grubby but unharmed.

Then I woke up 🙂

Awesome Day One of my “reading fanfic on the bus” experiment worked well. I downloaded half a dozen fanfics on my TBR pile off AO3 onto the kindle ready for today. On the way in I read a one shot and made notes on my phone for writing up as a comment when I get home.

Hopefully this will continue as I feel really guilty how little fanfic I’ve read, and how I’ve barely commented in months. You guys are fabulous and deserve all the kudos in the world.

I just secured a new tumblr URL.

I know, I know, I said I would never change because URL’s are like an identity. When people change their avatars it confuses me enough, I’m definitely following some people and I suddenly look one day and I think “who are you?” as they have changed their URL and I didn’t notice at the time.

So I’m going to be a total hypocrite basically. I think the URL is too cool not to use and so yeah basically I’m going to do it 🙂

The second Fitzsimmons Secret Valentine is over I’m going to change. Sorry in advance for being annoying.

wizzygold replied to your post “I just secured a new tumblr URL. I know, I know, I said I would never…”

…let me know the new one so I don’t get confused ��☺️

Of course 🙂

I will do those post things with the >> to indicate change and I’ll put on my byline who I used to be and basically try and be as helpful as possible.

Hi!!!! Its your secret Valentine here! I hope you’ve been having a good week!! I’ve been playing about with your prompt and planning some ideas and a non shield au works best. How does that sound? 💕

Heya!!

Yeah my weeks been alright. Not sure where it went, I feel like I blinked and missed it but thank merlin it’s Friday heh 🙂 I hope that you had a good week and that you have a brilliant weekend!

I rather suspected with my prompt that it suggested a non-Shield AU. I am sorry for that if you’d rather have written something more canon. I’m not very good at thinking up prompts.

Anyway I think it sounds awesome! 🙂 I mean it’s Fitzsimmons and it’s got a happy ending right? So what’s not to like? 🙂 I hope you have fun with the ideas!

5. Did you make an outline for Conspiracy Afloat? Did you stick to it?

Posted on by

Oh yes – on both counts actually.I planned that fic the way I plan a novel, which given that it probably would have been better (and less rushed) if it was novel length kinda made sense. I did a full timeline, scene by scene outline etc. To make sure I didn’t mess up and have it be day/night at the wrong time.

You have no idea how tempting it was to go ‘off book’ and veer off the outline. I had so much more I wanted to do but that was an RSS fic so it had a strict deadline. It was getting on for 30k I think when it was done anyway, so I really didn’t time to expand it. The outline helped me get it done, I don’t think I would have managed otherwise.

Star Trek: Discovery

Posted on by

I’m not tagging this for Star Trek: Discovery spoilers this time because I got a one word “goodbye” reply on my last one which felt passive aggressive. Me being me then thinks I’ve done something wrong and … I digress.

this wasn’t the gif I was looking for but it will do.

The Stamets and Culber gifsets are killing me!!!!

Honestly I am not ok!

Anyway, I still haven’t gone back and watched the rest of the episode after I got confirmation that Culber was dead. I did read an interview where the actor who plays Culber said he was ok with what happened and “would return” as it was part of a bigger arc.

Part of me now just wants to watch because it’s Star Trek and it’s shiny.

The other part of me doesn’t trust it, and remembers how I forced myself to watch all of Star Trek: Enterprise which after a promising start went so far into my NoTP I had to watch through my fingers going “no! no! no!”

Just because it’s Star Trek doesn’t mean it’s automatically good.

Besides if Culber just appears as Stamets true love in dreams/hallucinations I think I might bawl everytime he’s on screen. It’s so not fair! So him returning while it keeps their love story alive, is still unbearably sad. Short of raising the dead I’m not sure how Star Trek can fix it.

Crying forever…

You know what else I’m mad about?

Lt. Tyler

I know lots of people guessed so it was foreshadowed but I still thought that having him be who he was, struggling with PTSD, the abuse, his duty etc. was a story that hasn’t been handled well and early signs were relatively promising.

I know there’s a conflict here between who he thinks he is, and who he actually is. Memories vs instinct and it’s a larger theme playing out through the mirror verse.

Maybe I’d feel differently if they weren’t pushing the romance with Burnham. It doesn’t feel appropriate.

—-

I still think Lorca might actually originate from this mirror verse.

—-

But you know what for all I’m ranting now this show lost me when they killed Captain Philippa Georgiou. I thought she was going to be the lead and then nope Male captain Lorca, another maverick.

—-

So much wasted potential.

Watching Star Trek: Discovery and there are no words for how devastated I am.

Actually there are a few words like:

– disappointed

– betrayed

– appalled

I really can’t believe that they thought it was a good idea. A small part of me held out hope (this is sci-fi, this is the future) but it’s now been confirmed.

I don’t think I want to watch anymore. How could they do this? Why?

I dislike character death at the best of times but Culber? Happily married to Stamets and they were a great couple. I reblogged every set I could find where Stamets told the story of how they met and about love.

What was it for shock value? Well consider me shocked and changing the channel.

They just crossed a line they can’t come back from.

Hi! I’m your secret Valentine!! I just wanted to say hi and let you know I’ve your prompt okay; and also ask a couple questions, if that’s okay. Since you’re uk based and aren’t as caught up on the show, would you prefer pre-season 1 or something up to season 4.22 or an au? And aside from your prompt is there anything else you’d love to see in the fic? Your secret Valentine 💕

Heya!

I’m really excited and kinda nervous about this exchange. It’s my first foray into the Fitzsimmons fandom but man I love Agents of Shield so much! I’m googling everyday to see if there’s an airdate yet for season 5 in the UK. Avoiding spoilers is an exercise in futility so I do know a bit and urk it looks amazing!!!

In all honesty I’m very easy to please. I know sometimes not having very many guidelines can be difficult when coming up with ideas but really what most concerns me is that you have fun. I don’t really want something set within season 5 as I wouldn’t understand any ‘in-jokes’ but any other time (or an AU) is fair game.

I mean some shows have good seasons and bad not so great seasons. For me it feels like Agents of Shield started great and has gone strength to strength ever since. I love it all! 🙂 I suppose I’m less fond of Daisy and Lincoln among those who have been regulars. Daisy has improved over the seasons but I confess still isn’t a favourite. I also find Ward in any incarnation quite boring, I just simply don’t care about him as a character. If you love any character though by all means include them, I don’t mind 🙂 As for who are my favourites? I could probably list pretty much everyone else heh.

One of the things I love most about the show is how genre savvy it is and how self-aware. Like Coulson going “spoiler alert” about Nick Fury in season 2, or Mack talking about robot movies – oh I love it when Fitz talks about the laws of physics and it’s super cute when he and Simmons finish each others sentences. Who am I kidding I love everything, this list could get seriously long.

Erm ooops sorry I think I’ve rambled and I’m not sure I’ve answered your questions. I think I got a bit enthusiastic *hides* 

Anyway first day stuff. Unless I’m sleeping then generally I’ll respond to any ask pretty quickly. If it’s more than 24 hours then tumblr ate it. I’m going to tag all responses #fssvsamreplies so you can find them easily. Please feel free to message whenever or as much as you like, you won’t be bugging me. On the other hand if you don’t feel the need except to check in once a week then that is cool too! Like I said I just want you to enjoy yourself.

I hope you are having a good week!

ETA: I forgot the really important thing!! A happy ending is an absolute must and please don’t kill anyone. Thank you 🙂
