So, I'd been having a hard time writing my SG-1 story for the Metamorphosis challenge.

None of the ideas that I came up with felt right (my title is A Matter of Time).

Then I saw It's Good to be King and was struck by an idea. I've spent the weekend ironing it out.

Thank God, since the story is due by the nineteeth.

ETA: Was the SuperBowl (Superbowl?) really this weekend (the bbc news feed mentioned it)? Huh. Was it... fun for those of you who are Football People?

The SuperBowl (Super Bowl?) is football, right? People running around with a ball that isn't really round? And there's tackling? And various other violence?

Queer as Folk (UK) just has the most perfect moments.

In any show that I desperately adore, I must have a relationship to love as both a friendship and something else. Friendship with the edge of the physical. It can be nice to have that friendship actually transition to a relationship, but I don't need it -- witness my still pure devotion to Buffy and Xander. I adored their tumultuous friendship as much as I could have any love affair.

But, on occasion, it's nice to have that relationship consummated, as it was in Dawson's Creek. Which was utter teen soap, but, in the end and after much frustration, it was satisfying teen soap. Joey and Pacey had the perfect infuriating love. They were so good for each other, but they had to work through the poison of their respective relationships with Dawson and the ending made me very happy, thank you.

Before that, I adored Lois and Clark in The New Adventures of Superman.

And QaFUK... I just adore it. The fact that the ending was left wide open, but that love (consummated or not) between Vince and Stuart isn't in question. Whatever they do, they'll be together, whether it be as friends or something else.

That's the same sort of strength that I see in Daniel and Jack's relationship. In Buffy and Xander's. Benton Fraser and Ray Kowalski's. They can piss each other off more than anyone else in the world, but they always have each other's back.

And I think I'll go watch a bit more QaFUK before I go to bed.
