{and swallow fireflies} by paperclipbitch (PG-13)

Right! Sorry about my absence; I just started a new job and I've been a bit overwhelmed.  I'm going to post a few recs today to make up for the time lapse, so bear with me?  This first one is in honor of having finally watched the premiere of the new season of Doctor Who, and as such, CONTAINS SPOILERS.  Highlight to see invisible text.

Why this must be read:  Admittedly, it's early days for Eleven and Amy Pond, but for a fic written based solely on one episode, the amount of characterization and detail is simply astounding.  I love this story SO MUCH.  Um.  Go read it.  It's also a 'ficmix', which means that it's a fanmix written into the story, so check out the fantastic music too!

Summary:  She’s not the mentally ill one here, really, and she still can’t eat custard, ten years later.

OT, but ...

I'm very sorry but for long and incredibly complicated reasons I'm going to steal your icon; I will credit both you and the person who made it, ozqueen.

*laughs* That's pretty much how I got it, anyway. So long as you credit ozqueen, she's put it up for grabs. :D

Most of this entry is completely unreadable for anyone who uses dark text-on-light-background layout. Please don't hardcode text colour!

Sorry for the inconvenience! It's meant to be invisible unless you highlight the text, so as not to spoil people. If you highlight the entry, you'll be able to read everything.

[turlough]

Ah, I see. You should probably explain that in the entry in some way I think.

[blog-of-cool.livejournal.com]

I did, but it's in the note above, which generally people skip over. Am going to edit it to bold, so hopefully that'll help.

For people using a darker background (such as myself) the spoiler text is actually extremely visible. I'm not one to care about spoilers, but I thought you might want to know. I know you can black out text, as seen here (http://boosette.livejournal.com/884698.html), if you're concerned.

*headdesk* Html is a pain. Thanks for letting me know!

Not a problem!
