"You and I should go to the Rivers Casino," Santos told her, blasé as ever. "Bet you're really good at counting cards."

"I am," she bragged. Snippy, she added, "But I'm not twenty-one yet, remember?"

"Right…" Santos drawled, in that supremely annoying way of hers, stretching the vocals beyond their limit. "Tell me, you ever played strip poker?"


Victoria was so fucking tired of Santos making fun of her youth and inexperience. It often made her mouth ran away from her, and this time was no different.


"No. But you'd have no chance against me."


Santos grinned, her eyebrows raised in reluctant appreciation.


"Alright, Crash. Friday night, after shift. You're on."


She walked away with a pep to her step. Victoria glared at her back until she turned a corner, out of view.


Whitaker, who silently listened to their back and forth wearing the face of a man who felt it'd be too awkward and rude to complain about his own excution, told her "Don't worry! I'll… make myself scarce that night."


That was kind of him, but unnecessary. She swore that in this particular battle of their cold war, it would not be Victoria who'd up naked and penniless.

THE LOCKED TOMB

FANFIC

  • varsouviana by cristabeloct. 1.6k, T. A short, pre-lyctorhood Cytherea/Loveday fic. Mandatory if you want to read some REALLY good pining.
  • and they were roommates by HerenorThereNearnorFar. 2.7k, T. Pre-Apocalypse (I) Mercymorn/Cristabel that does a great job of exploring who their characters could've been. I love Mercy's righteous fury, in particular.
  • settle up in heaven by liesmyth. 3k, T. Some Kiriona/Harrow corpse action. A+ stuff.
  • Incident Report by notheragain. 4.5, E. Pre-series Corona/Judith. It's described as "Judith files an official report to admit to Cohort Intelligence that she, despite all her best efforts, got laid." and it is exactly what that should be.
  • we're kings among runaways (on the bus mall) by NotAFicWriter. 11.2k, T. Also known as the Abortion Fic (there should be more abortion fics!!). I'm not usually into modern AUs, but every once in a while there are some that are undeniably absolute gems. Gideon's voice in particular is perfect here.
  • as long as it is day by liesmyth. 18.3k, T. Time-loop fic!! Set right near the end of HtN!!! With a great Gideon and great Gideon-John and Gideon-Wake scenes!!! The WORST family reunion ever, indeed. And an incredible read.

FANFIC

  • idle hands by ElasticElla. 1.1k, E. Short Magnus/Camille fic, set in the Shadowhunters tv show, my first active fandom. Perfect showcase of the inherent moral ambiguity of immortal lovers too caught up in themselves <3
  • Anthropology by Riona. 3.2k, T. A conversation between Mark and Helena written after 2x04 of Severance aired.
  • The Blues Run the Game by coyotesuspect. 7,4k, M. Post-canon Hustlers fic that dives into what the immediate aftermath of the article could've been like for Destiny. And gives some much needed joy to her and Ramona.

Between one thing and another I've barely read this week, but this past month or so I've watched some tv here and there and I thought I'd talk a bit about them. 
  • I continue to watch Severance and love it. The last two episodes have SO much to them: expansion on the world building, answers, yet more questions... all while putting front and center two female characters of the sort that rarely get that place, and being superbly filmed while at it. I am eagerly awaiting the next two episodes, and already anticipating how hard it'll be to wait for another season LOL. I caught up with season 1 right on time to watch the finale premier and oh boy, that was hard xD
  • I've started The Pitt, a medical drama where each episode is a "real time" hour for the characters in the emergency room, with the season being just ONE shift in their lives. It's pretty intense and realistic, with many interesting characters, and really good at playing with audience's biases. It's apparently been renewed for a second season (I've heard they weren't sure/weren't expecting that, and season 1 seems to be filmed with that in mind). I'm curious of what that'll mean going forward, because idk if this format, which is what has made the show stand out in its subgenre, can sustain itself for so long. We'll see. Noah Wyle plays the lead character, btw: the attending in charge, still traumatised by his experiences during the earlier days of the pandemic, with this shift being the anniversary of his mentor's death at that time. I never watched ER, but I know it's a classic among medical shows, so maybe some will entice some.
  • I FINALLY got around watching the first season of Twin Peaks. It's a very, very charming show, in its way. I find Laura and Audrey in particular fascinating, and like Cooper even more than I expected. I'll continue to watch, despite hearing mixed things on the rest of the show, I think it'll be worth it. Though first I might try to finish Kevin Can Fuck Himself.

Later today I'll be going to a live play for free. The last two I've attended this year were either attrocious or mediocre, so wish me luck LOL.
