Briefly

First, have an excellent new Sanctuary fanfic:


Thylacine (21169 words) by st_aurafina
Chapters: 4/4
Fandom: Sanctuary (TV)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Helen Magnus, James Watson, Nikola Tesla, Imogen Worth, Declan MacRae, Henry Foss
Additional Tags: The Five, Victorian, Australia, Cryptozoology
Summary:

Helen Magnus was resigned to taking the slow road back to the twenty-first century alone without changing history. Then Imogen Worth was found alive under the rubble. Now, with an unexpected ward and paradox at her side, the road to the future has taken a startling turn.

In other news, vaguely connected to Sanctuary and the Five by thoughts of Victorian team-ups of horror archetypes, I'm tentatively watching Penny Deadful. Now, some shows and some books have the type of twist that suddenly gives everything you've watched so far re: a character or storyline a completely new context - and not just "ah, so this also happened" but "hang on, that means something completely different!" - , but they usually take a tad longer to get there. Penny Deadful did it in the second episode, and I'm really glad I wasn't in any way spoiled, so I shan't spoil anyone, either. But it makes for a really clever play on two characters' original story.

Thank you for the rec, and for your lovely comment!

I keep meaning to check out Penny Dreadful - Eva Green is a bit of a crush for me - so I will get to it before I get spoiled for whatever that thing is.

Eva Green and her great intensity have been well used so far - though mind you, it's only two episodes in! -, so I don't think you'll be disappointed if you watch it on her account.
