When in doubt, fanfiction

[selenak]

Still too stunned by Real Life events for more than quick entries, so:

1) Look at the pretty new Lawrence of Arabia icon I found! (One of two, couldn't resist.)

2) Fanfic is always good for a brief distraction. In addition to my earlier recs, I'd like to point out another Multiverse 2005 find, Catch a Tiger, a Farscape/ Battlestar Galactica crossover, wherein Harvey meets Six. It had to happen. And happen it does, with style.

Moving over to pure BSG, there is "Anonymous" by jennyo, a tale of various survivors in the fleet. Pointing out yet again the eerie topicality of the new BSG today.

And lastly, Alias: as promised, I wrote a little vignette for andrastewhite, who wanted Jack, Sloane and faith, Beyond Belief. With additional Jack snark in the direction of one Michael Vaughn. No spoilers beyond the first season.

Actually Real Life got me thinking about Lawrence of Arabia for the past couple days. That part near the end where he has captured Damascus but finds he can't run it - the city is sinking into chaos. Lawrence goes to a hospital that's been abandoned full of patients, while he's there the British army pulls up and with calm efficiency goes to work. Calm except for one officer who goes up to Lawrence and screams, "Disgraceful! Disgraceful!" in his face. I'd been thinking that's exactly what I wanted to see in New Orleans, all of it including the shouting.

Oh, excellent point about the hospital sequence, which sans words (well, two) conveys so much.

Of course, the other thing that might bring LoA to one's mind these days, and years, is Iraq as a postcolonial creation of doom...
