Hey everyone. Remember that POTC baby fic I wrote a gazillion years ago? Where James adopts a baby and Jack gets all involved?

No? Well, I started it in 2004, so I'm not surprised.

Anyway. I sort of finished it, I think. Anyone interested in looking it over and telling me what they think?

(I miss the days where I had icons for every fandom I was in.)

How can I address my concerns to my senator when their line is always busy???

Got through. Talked with a real (bored sounding) person, but I did it.

Now, got to do it again next week.

Last night I came across a show called "Book to Film" (or something like that). They were doing Steven King. I haven't watched many of his movies, but they were going to do a segment on Shawshank Redemption, a movie I could probably watch all day, so I stuck through the Shining and Carrie and Cujo. Finally, they got to Shawshank, yay! And then...

My cable went out. For exactly as long as the segment. When it came back, they were on to Apt Pupil. So, boo.

My God, costuming just gave up during season 4, didn't they? One episode, Gretchen has red nails, the next, which takes place five minutes later, she's got nude nails. T-Bag has a pedophile mustache one minute, the next (again, five minutes later), he's got a full goatee.

I'm past the first arc of the season, where Scofield's 11 hunted down the cards for Scylla. It was pretty good. Not as good as season 1, but tightly written with good tension and character interplay. Now I'm on the second half, where you find out that Mama Scofield is alive and Lincoln starts working for the company (I can never decide if it's the company or the Company) and I just... eh. I hate everything about the decision to make Mama Scofield alive and working for the company. Everything.


No, seriously, I can't think of one thing I like.

So, my rankings for my favorite seasons go: Season 1, Season 3, Season 2, part 1 of Season 4, Season 5, part 2 of Season 4. (Well, probably not; William Fichtner is in part 2 of Season 4 and I don't think he'll be in the new season, so it automatically loses, right?) Oh! I know. I rank Breakout Kings over part 2 of season 4.

Anyway, I put season 3 above season 2 because, since it was shorter, they didn't have as much time to do weird things. Like have Alex completely forget that he ruined his life by killing Shales and deciding it was all Michael's fault. Or everything with T-Bag. Yeah, they killed Sara and did stupid things, but it was quick and really watchable and leaves a lot of room for fic. Really, it just barely beats out season 2. Like by a hair.

Any time Alex and Michael are not on screen together, this show is just boring. I wonder if Breakout Kings is on Netflix.

Title: Scofield's Shadow
Rating: Mature
Pairing: Michael Scofield/Alexander Mahone
Warning: Gratuitous use of the word "shadow". Set during season 3

( Chapter 1 )

I'm not done with season 2 yet (just finished 2x18: Wash), but I have ( Some thoughts )

Michael Scofield on the run: "I may be on the run, but that's no reason not to dress my best."

Lincoln Burrows on the run: "NO BUTTONS!!!!!"

I forgot how hard my heart broke when Kellerman met with Mahone to remind him he was "hired to do a job." I just so wanted one person on the show not to be involved with the Company somehow.

Rewatching Prison Break does not magically make more completed Prison Break fic appear.
