Fic Rec: Sherlock

Someday I'm going to clean out both my email and my linkdump. Today is not that day. But I wasn't going to pass on the the chance to pass on Boredom Untold, which is best described as "BBC Sherlock does The Ransom of Red Chief by way of Labyrinth."

Clip:
“The rules are simple, Mycroft. You have thirteen hours in which to solve my Labyrinth, and reach the heart of the Goblin City, or you’ll never see your little brother again.” He grinned, feral. “Of course, you could save yourself the trouble and simply relinquish him.”

“I’m afraid not,” Mycroft said. “Mummy would be displeased. And it’s my responsibility.”

“As you wish.” Then the Goblin King turned to Sherlock. “And you, my young friend, must come with me, and we’ll see what your brother is made of.”

“No!” Sherlock yelled, in a rare tantrum. “No, no, NO!”

“I’m afraid you have little choice in the matter.”

Sherlock glared, crossing his small arms. “Don’t be stupid; of course I’m going with you. It’s hateful here. But I don’t need Mycroft. Mycroft gets to do everything interesting, and it isn’t fair. I will solve the Labyrinth.”

My Country Has Changed

I didn't think today was particularly history. No, that was 4 years ago, made in the cold when Obama said "I so swear."

I didn't think today was history.

I thought wrong.

I never, never in my life, not even in the most progressive of administrations, thought I would hear the President of the United States stand on the Capitol steps and specifically, directly shout out to women's rights and pledge his allegiance to gay rights as equal civil rights.

"From Seneca Falls to Selma to Stonewall."

I got chills. And now I'm starting to cry. OMG, I never thought I'd see this day. I never, ever thought I would see this day.

There will be outrage. There will be pushback. There will be stalls and punitive laws and a thousand thousand ways of trying to roll back the clock. But nothing, NOTHING will wipe out this moment, nothing. It's part of our history now, a President, standing on the Capitol steps, citing Seneca Falls and Selma and Stonewall in the same breath.

What I want is something make ahead, preferably vegetarian, but I'll do with eggs. (The bacon cups are for parties)
