Billie Piper had a baby boy! She was in labor for over 26 hours before she had a Caesrean. That's what happened with my mom with me and of course she doesn't let me forgot it.

Maybe, since she now has a baby, she might want to do lighter work, like lets say a TV movie with a certain Doctor? :D

Doctor Who: Journey's End Reaction

I am literally sobbing. I can't stop, oh I hadn't cried this hard since I saw Doomsday.

Doctor Who: the Stolen Earth aka the ep where my shipper heart died

2008-06-29T07:51:46Z

I was checking my friends entries and wow I didn't know I had so many DW fan friends. Hello fellow Whovians.

I was literally shaking the entire time. I didn't move from my spot either. I don't remember when I was so captured by an episode of anything.

I loved all the former companions and groups coming together. I alway wonder what the others are doing when the world is in crisis. Like with the Sontrans, what was Torchwood and Sarah Jane's gang up to?
I have to admit to loving the Sarah Jane Adventures. I love Elisabeth Sladen and it was so exciting to see Luke and Mr. Smith on DW. I don't think Luke is going to stay put....
What was up with the heartbeats and Donna? I really want to know what the big secret is about her.
Jack and the Torchwood gang are made of win. I loved what Gwen said about Owen and Tosh at the end, about how she wants to go out fighting like them. :( But I don't think they are going to die. I think Mickey or Jackie, or someone with a big gun will save them.
LOL, bees are aliens, or some of them are.
Jealous Rose = Love. It is good to see some of her old flaws coming in. Plus it was nice to even out with all Martha's jealousy in season three. I was very upset for Rose that she didn't get in on the conversation.
Harriet Jones! I love her. Even though she made a mistake in the Doctor's eyes, I still thought she is an amazing character. Also I don't think she is dead, they never did show it.
Rose's "find me," had me nearly in tears.

And then the running. BTW Donna is a shipper. :) I mean look at their faces. When have you seen the Doctor so happy.

I'm angry with the Daleks. The broke up a very touching reunion. And well they stole the Earth. Ummm... I more upset about the former. Like falulatonks said if Donna is a Doctor/Rose shipper, the Daleks are like the anti-shipper.

And then RTD has him "regenerate!" What the hell is up with that? Please I like my Ten. Plus at least give me a little bit of warning so I can cope better.

How am I suppose to sleep now?

Anybody have a Tardis so we can skip forward to Saturday?

still kickin

Wow, I haven't posted since Feb. Ummm.... hi everyone!

doctor who?

2008-01-25T22:30:29Z

So Friday is my day off and I was flipping through the channels just wanting to find something to watch as I drank my tea, when I came across Doctor Who.

It was my lucky day because it was the first one. I was curious, so I watched a bit of it and few hours later I had already watched three episodes.

I know there have been a bunch of Doctor Whos before.... Is it okay just to watch the newest series?

I now understand so many Brits obsession with Billie Piper, she is very engaging. While Christopher Eccleston playing the Doctor is just interesting, I love his dialog. The two of them definitely have chemistry.

Tin Man Fic: Slumber

2008-01-08T02:05:35Z

Slumber

Author: MidnightzStorm

Disclaimer: I do not own Tin Man, even though if anyone is selling Cain, I would love to know.

Thanks to: Lady Taeyvn, who is an awesome beta reader. Thanks especially for getting this back to me so quickly, I couldn’t wait to post it.

Summary: Right after the eclipse DG wakes up and finds herself in bed with Wyatt Cain.

“And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me” – Norah Jones, Come Away with Me

DG woke with the moonlight shining on her pale face. She felt warm and content, two feelings that had been far away from her the last few days. She then noticed the arm around her waist and the soft breath against her neck.

Oh my god, I'm bed with a man, she thought.

She turned her head slightly and saw the light blond hair of Wyatt Cain. She didn't dare shift anymore because she had never seen him sleep so soundly.

She then began to remember how she got in the situation of having Wyatt Cain in her bed.

After defeating the witch, their work was far from over. Cain had been shot, again. She told him, he had to stop doing that. Raw was able to heal him with a little effort.

Az, with the help of their parents and Glitch, had to get all of her Longcoats to stand down. While DG, Cain, Raw and Tutor went to check the wounded on the battlefield. She remembered with a smile how happy Cain was when he saw his son, a little battle worn, but still alive and well.

She and Raw attempted to heal the injured. She was sick of Tutor telling her to concentrate and let the light flow through her, but she didn't say anything to him, there was too much to do.

A few hours later Glitch came into the tent, to tell DG mother wished to see her. She got up from the edge of the cot of a young man whose leg she had just mended, and suddenly felt very dizzy, she swayed on the spot, but luckily Glitch was quick enough to steady her. He half-carried her out of the tent.

Cain had rushed towards them, at least she thought he did, her head was still spinning. He asked what was wrong. Tutor who happened to be near told them that since she used a lot of her magic today for the first time in years, it was only natural for her to be drained.

Good to know she said her eye sight blacking in and out. She then felt a pair of strong arms scoop her up and she wrapped her arms lazily around his neck. He told her not to worry that he had her. She muttered he had been shot, just a few hours ago, and shouldn't be carrying her. She didn't know much of what happened in the in between time. What she did know was the adrenaline that had been coursing through her during their adventure had dissipated and she could feel every ache in her body.

She awoke for a few minutes when she heard her mother's voice, who told Cain where there was a room DG could rest in and that he should look into getting some rest himself.

Once she was placed on the bed, she strangely felt like she was spinning again, even though she wasn’t moving at all. She grabbed his hand, as if trying to get her barrings. She then asked or pled; she preferred the former, for him to stay. She saw his blurry face give a small smile and say that he couldn't, it wasn't proper. She said screw being proper; he made her feel less spinny. Spinny, he repeated.

She nodded her head against the pillows. She added that he was injured and had barely slept during their journey. He moved away and she was scared he was going to leave, but he didn't. He untied her boots and placed them next to the bed. He took off his coat, fedora, shoes and vest. He placed his gun on the night stand. She looked at him and told him absently he should also take off his shirt, later she wondered how she got to be so brave. They both glanced at the large blood stain on his shoulder. He walked away and she then believed she went to far that time, but when she heard the click of a lock she smiled and asked what he was doing. He told her point blank that he did not survive this long to killed by a queen, prince consort, or robot parents for being in bed with their daughter. She laughed softly and closed her eyes once again as he dimmed the lights.

She kept her eyes shut and just listened and felt. She felt the bed move as he laid down next to her, she grabbed his arm and draped it around her waist. She listened to him telling her to go to sleep.

It was warm and safe there she thought. She hadn't dreamt at all, it was a nice change. She heard his rhythmic breath and knew he was without nightmares as well. She glanced down at his bare arm that was wrapped around her waist. She noticed how his golden band shimmered in the moonlight.

Then all of her thoughts went straight to hell. He was married. He just found out his wife was dead after believing her to be alive and then before believing she was dead for eight years. He was in mourning and she had lured him into her bed. She tried to gently take his hand off her waist, she could sleep on the floor, it what she deserved.

However, her movements did not go unnoticed by him. He woke up and asked her where she was going. She just sputtered, not knowing what to answer. He told her to go back to sleep and she didn't stop him when he pulled her close. She placed her head on his bare chest and listened to his heart beat. He said that this seemed to be the only way he could keep track of her. She was about to retort with some comment, but it disappeared when he kissed her forehead and said good night.

Inbetweens: Part THREE

Title: The In-betweens

Part Three: Baby its Cold Outside

Author: MidnightzStorm

Pairing: DG/Cain

Fandom: Tin Man

Theme: 32, Mellow/Alt. Mix

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Well I own some things, but not Tin Man or the song "Baby, its Cold Outside.”

Author’s Note: I love Zooey’s voice; there is something so captivating about it. For the whole of December I kept listening to her rendition of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” from the “Elf,” soundtrack. If you haven’t heard, I highly suggest it.

I also know this is very silly and short, but it came to me and I had to write it.

“I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside.”

DG couldn’t understand, but admired how Cain could navigate Demilo’s van through the bizarre. She involuntary shivered at the sight of the snow and wrapped the blanket around her shoulders tightly around herself, they had been driving in this storm for hours and it didn’t look like it was going to let up.

“Baby, it’s cold outside,” DG sang softly.

“Excuse me?” Cain asked jerking his head to look at her.

She rolled her blues eyes and said: “It’s a song from the other side. Whenever I hear snow the song pops into my head and the only way to get it out is to sing it.”

“It’s a song about being cold,” asked Cain incredulously.

“It’s a song about a man telling a woman she can’t leave because it’s snowing outside. For every reason she gives for having to go, he gives her another to get her to stay.

“This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in. So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice. My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry. My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar. So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry,” she sang again. DG never had a problem singing in front of people, probably because people constantly compared her voice to Judy Garlands’.

“She should just leave, no one should be held against their will,” Cain replied seriously.

DG smiled sadly and explained: “She doesn’t really want to go; she just doesn’t want to seem like a slut.”

He glances at her again but quickly looks back at the snowy road. She wanted to laugh, but was afraid of his reaction.

“It’s just an example of people not saying what they really mean,” she said and then lowered her voice, “You should know about that.”

“What?” he asked.

“Nothing,” she said, her eyes widening in innocence. Moments or minutes passed in silence until he broke it.

“Well if the only way to get the song out of your head is to sing then go for it.”

She smiled slightly and sang softly once again: “I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there. Say, lend me your coat.”

“Who needs a coat?” said Glitch from the back of the van.

DG started to giggle, while Cain gave a smirk or a smile, she couldn’t tell, but she would like to believe it was a smile.

“Never such a blizzard before.”

Part Two: Crazy

Author: MidnightzStorm

Pairing: DG/Cain

Fandom: Tin Man

Theme: 27, Mellow/Alt. Mix

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Well I own some things, but not Tin Man.

Author’s Note: This takes place a few months after the movie.

“Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably” – Crazy, Gnarl Barkley

The princess was going to drive him crazy. She didn’t seem to understand there were thousands of reasons why they shouldn’t be together and he was tired of being the logical one.

She was standing feet away from him in the living area of her suite with her hands crossed and lips pursed.

“You kissed me,” she said flatly.

“That was a mistake,” he told her not meeting her gaze.

“And it took you five minutes of macking with me for you to realize that?”

“What in the O.Z. is macking?”

“Making out,” she said simply. He then blushed, while she smirked, it was always nice to see him do something as human as blush. He knew he shouldn’t had kissed her, but if she insisted on licking her lips and batting those big blue eyes at him he couldn’t be held responsible for what he did.

“We shouldn’t be macking or kissing or anything of the sort,” he said. “Princess, I am just a tin man.”

Her face softened at this announcement and said: “You are so much more than just a tin man and I am not just talking about the knighthood my mother bestowed to you or your snazzy new position as head of the Royal Guard.”

“I’m too old for you,” he pointed out.

“Age is a just number,” she said, waving that excuse off.

“Well, kiddo, the number between us is a big one. I’m old enough to be--”

“Don’t say that,” she said raising her hand. “Anyway I don’t think we should count the eight years you were in the, you know, so it only like twelve years, not a big deal. Plus May and December romances are very popular on the other side.”

“I spent eight years in that suit. I’m not…” he said trailing off.

However she just answered back quickly: “When I was five an evil witch possessed my sister and killed me. We all have emotional baggage.”

“Princesses don’t marry tin men. You should marry someone of noble blood.”

“First off I’m the second born, so there is less pressure on me,” she said starting to get upset. “Second my father isn’t of noble blood: he is a slider from Nebraska. And third and most important the only man I should be marrying is the man I love.”

“DG, I’m—“

“Stop Wyatt,” she said once again interrupting him. “You continue to give me reason after reason why we shouldn’t be together, but you never said the one thing that really matters.”

“And what’s that Princess?”

“You never said you didn’t love me,” she said with a smile. That comment shut his mouth.

“You give me reason about age, rank and a bunch of other things, but you never give me the reason that really counts and would actually shut me up,” she said and as she spoke she moved slowly towards him, like he was a deer she didn’t want to scare away. But she didn’t have to worry since he was paralyzed to the ground. He wanted to step away, so he could clear his head, and have some chance of denying his feelings, but he couldn’t. She sneaked in closer and soon they were nearly nose to nose.

“Tell me you don’t love or have any feelings for me and I’ll let it go and never speak of it again,” she said in a hush voice, he could feel her hot breath against his face.

He couldn’t speak, so he didn’t, instead he just kissed her. He could feel her lips form a smile against his and he knew he was doomed, but in the best possible way.

Part One: Over My Head

Author: MidnightzStorm

Pairing: DG/Cain

Fandom: Tin Man

Theme: 6, Mellow/Alt. Mix

Rating: PG-13/Teen

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Well I own some things, but not Tin Man or the song "Over My Head."

Author’s Note: This is my first entry for the challenge I signed up for at the LiveJournal Community 30_ballads. Here is hoping I can complete this one. I wanted to create a reason why DG was being so formal with Cain before the big battle, so this my way of explaining it. And while the song may not have anything to do with the story, it was only suppose to inspire me, which it did.

Thanks to: Lady Taevyn for beta reading, I am much obliged for the help.

“Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime” – The Fray: Over My Head (Cable Car)

DG was over her head. She had let Azkadellia get the emerald. She nearly died, but at least this time she was able to save herself. However, if she was not the damsel in distress in this situation, why was she so damn happy to see him riding towards her on his white steed?

She felt so weak after freeing herself from the tomb, but when she saw her friends rushing towards her and seeing him, his eyes filled with concern, she felt alive once again. They were safe, alive, and had come to her aid.

She told them how she let the emerald be taken with sad eyes. But they all seemed to be happy that she was alright.

When she took the reins from Glitch, Cain automatically said “Come here, Princess.”

Glitch muttered something about not needing a brain to be able to ride a horse properly. She smiled at Glitch, but went to Cain. She took his rough hand and mounted his horse and then he climbed on behind her. He had one hand holding the reins, while the other wrapped protectively around her waist.

As they rode through the forest the wind whipped past them and she just let herself breathe in the sweet air. Oxygen was a glorious thing and it wasn’t until she almost died from the lack of it, that she realized how amazing it was. It had been the same way when she thought that Cain had been killed.

She let her thoughts drifted away as she listened attentively to him as he told her about his son, he was alive. He told her about the resistance that Jeb was in charge of and there was a note of pride in his voice. She was elevated by his happiness, he deserved some at least.

The problem was as he spoke she could feel his hot breath against her ear and she inwardly shivered. While the way he held her closely made his arm every so often gaze her chest gently. She wondered if he knew what he was doing to her.

No, of course he didn’t. He thought she was a kid. A job. He was there to protect her because he was a tin man and she was a princess.

She wanted to shake off this emotional mess. She didn’t have time to fall in love. She had a world and big sister to save. There was no time to fall in love with a man who was still mourning his dead wife and probably had major post traumatic stress disorder. Plus she was receiving strange looks from Raw, she needed to relax.

Cain must have felt the tension coursing through her, because he asked her what was wrong. She just reminded him about the emerald and the prophecy. He told her softly that the eclipse hadn’t happened yet and they still had time. She smiled and teased him about his new found optimism and he brushed it off saying it was just the truth. He then kissed her cheek, at least she thought he did, but it could have been an accident. She told herself it was an accident, she wasn’t in love and he definitely wasn’t.

However, when they reached the camp and he helped her off the horse he held her longer than necessary. And she realized that she was over head, she was falling in love and it was effortless.

Dumbledore is gay, yay

2007-10-24T03:56:52Z

As many Harry Potter fans already know J.K. Rowling has outted Dumbledore. I realized that I saw him as I saw all of my primary school teachers, as kind of asexual.... But anyway I think it's a good thing for the gay community... but that is just me.

And for my column I am writing in respond to this column: http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1674550-2,00.html

"Other fantasy worlds have presented gay (or at least gay-seeming) characters, but usually they are, literally, inhuman."

Can anyone name some fantasy characters who are gay and human?

The 24 season finale was kind of predictable for me, but it was still good. However during it my father told me that Veronica Mars had been canceled. So like a thirteen year old fan girl I say this:

CW SUCKS.

Now I seriously do not have a show that I watched from week to week. I don't have anything coming back that I love, nothing to look forward to during the mundane weekdays.

another birthday

2007-02-07T04:25:52Z

So its my birthday, well tomorrow, the 7th is my birthday. I will be 20, no longer a child, but not quite an adult yet. Looking back, I realize that my birthdays haven't really been that great. I'm like Molly Ringwald in Sixteen Candles, people just forget my birthday. My own mother thought it was next week and she was the one in labor for thrity-six hours. I have been so anti-social lately that I don't expect anything to happen.

So how I am going to spend my 20th birthday? I will be studying for my ecomonics and math test that I have the next day. The only bright spot is that I will be going to my favorite tea shop for a cup and a scone. I feel so depressed, everyone always has these great stories of their birthdays, I have nothing. Maybe thats why on anyone's birthday I try to make it as special as possible.

No expectations. Nothing. Then it will be the best birthday ever.
