1: Fic Recc, 2: Pic Spam

1: 68 Wives by hmpf is so lovely. It's a Highlander piece of fan fiction, but please don't be put off if you know nothing about Highlander, because I know nothing about Highlander and it doesn't matter. It's a story about Methos, who rarely appeared in the show, and is the oldest of the surviving immortals. He's been around for 5,000 years and in that time he's been a monster and a hero. He once mentioned that he'd been married 68 times. hmpf provides each wife with a sentence, starting with the most recent girlfriend who died before he had the chance to marry her, and working backwards towards the very first. It's short, it requires no entry level of knowledge beyond what I just wrote, and it's very much worth it. I don't like using words like, "haunting," and "lyrical" because cliche has cheapened their meaning; but I would, if their meanings hadn't been so diluted.

2. While I was looking for pictures for my SW post (below), I might have gotten distracted indulging my horribly schoolgirl crush and stumbled across an awesome picture of Chiwetel Ejiofor. I figured I'd tack it on to the end of that post, but then I thought, no, there are too many pictures and he would get lost in them and he is a very, very pretty man.

Plus this way, hopefully hmpf will notice that I recced her and also notice the picspam and be reminded that SHE STILL HASN'T TOLD ME OF THIS MYTHICAL FILM THAT FEATURES CHIWETEL EJIOFOR AND JOHN SIMM!

( So I'm tacking him onto this much smaller post instead! )

There really ought to be more pictures of him. *sigh*
