..., possibly in proportion to mood fluctuations. Which I guess is enough. It's more than I knew a week ago.) (Note the tag "Sex in espionage." It takes a damn long time to browse the LCSH, and I figure you're not going to get a better sex-related subject heading than that - so from here on out, whenever I need to talk about sex, I'll use the subject heading Sex in espionage.)
Though I normally do not read espionage or romance novels, and I did not have the first novel of the trilogy, I decided to read The Firebird Deception anyway. And it was a very good choice. The Firebird Deception is the second novel in the Strongbox Chronicles , by Cate Dermody, a pen name of C. E. Murphy ( mizkit . CIA-agent Alisha McAleer is faced with assignment of retrieving ...

I've been getting more into the Wodehouse fandom lately - mostly fanfiction and the Jeeves and Wooster manga I found online, as I haven't been to the library recently. Bertie, why are you so cute? The side effect of this is that promotional in-game images of Paz from Peace Walker make me think of a teenage Madeleine Bassett without the flapper hair. MGS as a Wodehouse style farce could be ...
This afternoon, I learned that because of humans' tendency to make excuses for themselves and see what they want to see in their loved ones, immortal robotic memes should control the internet. However, the main advocates of this idea are immortal robotic memes, which suggests a certain vested interest to the sufficiently cynical eye. I sort of wish I'd experienced it without knowing most of what...
Okay. Related to the part of this entry related to this thread, I - yeah. I still do not know why "Cara is an emotionally stunted sociopath who likes to torture people for fun" translates into OMG HOW CUTE IS SHE in my head, but it does. I want to snuggle her. WHY.
I can understand why the pairing wouldn't be popular (Raiden's a rather controversial character and already has a girlfriend; Emma has a lot of distressed damsel moments, is emotionally hung up on Hal, and dies; it's het), but why is the only Raiden/Emma fic I've been able to find on the entire internet, as far as I know an indifferently punctuated scriptfic on aff.net whose opening paragraph ...
I'm trying not to be a stereotypical yaoi fanbrat here, but so far Rose is my least favorite female character. She does get a little more interesting if I get meta and assume that she hasn't displayed much of a personality beyond "Raiden's insecure girlfriend who's good at using Google and doesn't know she can't cook" because she's an evil robot honey trap from the future in a sense, working ...
