In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.
Picking one is hard and I guess it's go big or go home, so: Les Miserables. I listened to the musical all the time when I was a little kid and I was totally obsessed from then on. I read an abridged version at seven and the whole tome at eleven, and I've re-read it many times since then. I tend go back to it in difficult times and it really means a lot to me. It's full of wonderful characters that the different adaptations (of varying quality) and eras of fandom have done so many interesting things with, and I guess what really draws me to it is the scope. There's just so much there, and you can spend days unpacking the language of a page or get obsessed with a throwaway mention of a character who never shows up again.

Date: 2019-01-09 05:38 am (UTC)Yeah, I feel like I'm going to start with PWP and work my way out from there lol, with maybe a little fuckbuddies-to-lovers. There's good slightly-prickly H/C potential here as well.
And there are definitely a lot of behind-the-scenes S2-S4 possibilities. I agree with you about Snell. Meres' dislike is so obvious in If He Can, So Could I that I immediately figured Snell was all over him after the shooting and that it's a big part of why he left. It hadn't occurred to me that maybe his bosses actually made him leave to separate them, though, but it makes a lot of sense. And First Refusal is definitely interesting, because the tone between him and Callan is quite different than you get going forward in S4, or indeed than how they left things in Death of a Hunter/Where Else Could I Go. (I have a lot of feelings about Callan's "Where's Toby?"). So a story about what's behind all that would be really great <3
