(this post to be read with the same southern accent that has been coloring my mental voice for the last couple of days. not to mention my out-loud voice.  I have not been to Texas in almost 11 years; I should not fall into the accent so easily.)

So, the other day/night I watched the entirety of season 2 of True Blood.  Y'all. I will NOT fandom True Blood.  It is the crackiest crack ever, and way too gory sometimes, and I'm only watching it for the beautiful people, right? Except...I want the fic where Godric, after giving himself up to the sun, meets Cas (this being the recently self-banished via chest sigil Cas, methinks) and they float as particles of awesome through the aether, discussing such matters as trying to appreciate humans, and how humans can be so surprising, and how they sometimes are so disappointed with their own kind, and the difficulties of straddling the line between mortality and sort-of-immortality, and what they don't talk about is their self-sacrifice, because they are too bad-ass to whine about that, and crap, I'm gonna have to write this.

And I also want MaryAnne  in Narnia, stumbling upon their wild party with Bacchus, and she goes screeching up to him yelling about how she's his wife and yaaay, now they can get married, and then Lucy/Edmund/Susan/Peter/Narnia gets up and punches her out to the tune of 'bitch, step away from our wine god,' and then she's all hurt because 'i just wanna join y'all's orgy!' but they're all 'nope, sorry, our orgies are way more awesome than yours, and also we don't do the whole eating-human-hearts sacrifice thing,' and then Lucy says 'well, there was that one time...' and then they all shush her and drive MaryAnne out and that's when she heads off to find Sam in Bon Temps, and...someone stop me now, please.  Why does EVERYTHING connect to Narnia??

I am NOT writing True Blood fic. Seriously. Not happening.

And also Dr. Who!  

Skype is a wondrous thing - lady_songsmith and I were talking about the parallels between Donna (*sob*) and Narnia, and Rose (*sobsobsob*) and Narnia; in particular, how those two would get along SO well with Susan.

So:
Susan knows what it is to love someone (a whole country of them) and to be walled away from them, worlds away, across time and space.  Memory itself becomes a punishment, wishing for one more day but knowing it would be nothing, would only add to the pain.  Rose looks strong to everyone else, but Susan knows how she is stumbling blindly through each day, lost in her own world.

And then song said:
Rose understands what it is to shut yourself away from someone you love.  To see them day after day, struggling to continue, to go on as they should, but always and ever *less than*.   And it hurts, it opens the wounds fresh each time, like picking at a scab that can never heal.   Susan's family blames her for the rift, but Rose understands that it was self-defense.

And now we ask - help us continue to commit xover love!  Add Donna in! Angsty angst angst!
