get me off this crazy thing

I'm getting the impression that I better stay off social media if I don't want to be spoiled for GotG2 and the post credit scenes. /o\


Anyway.... on a completely different and yet weirdly related note, I decided to watch the most recent Jason Bourne movie, which I hadn't seen yet. And so, I'm sitting there, comfy in my bed, watching pretty much the same story over again (because let's face it, every single one of the Bourne movies has the same plot.... not that I'm complaining), and ruminating on the similarities between all brainwashed assassins.

Then I remember fondly my once upon a time amusement at my oft wished-for Jack Bauer/James Bond/Jack Bristow/Jason Bourne crossover. I STILL pine for this.

And THEN, I froze, and started laughing because damn it all to hell but James Bucky Barnes has the same gdamn initials. JEEZUS. So, now the assassin crossover of doom is JB/JB/JB/JB/JB! Let me write it out in all its glory: Jack Bauer/James Bond/Jack Bristow/Jason Bourne/James Barnes. TA DA! *jazz hands*

Okay, there was a kind of symmetry in a foursome assassin quartet, and a fifth lonely assassin throws the metric off, but the poor fellow can't be left in the wind on his own, now can he.

The possibilities! The angst! Can you imagine all of these broken down men all in one room? hahaaaa. Would it be a twosome/threesome thing? I vote for Bond/Barnes, and Jack/Jack/Jason.

But you can pretty much velcro them any which way. ENDLESS AMUSEMENT. I perversely want them to set up house together.

Really, the Bourne/Barnes similarities are ridiculous. They are practically the same character in very different universes, only poor Jason doesn't have an equivalent Steve or a Sam to help him, and the many different Peggys of the Bourne universe are all either of questionable ethics or killed. *pets*

In unrelated news, I have 2 different social events to go to today. I have a cough that won't go away. Weird allergy/ezcema? hasn't gone away yet either. Not sure when I can manage to go see GotG. Would have done it this morning if not for the 2 social events. And my apartment needs a good cleaning. I'm waiting on comments/notes back on my book and it's kind of driving me crazy. My land lord raised my rent. :/

Oh but hey I might be going to Spain in the late summer/early fall so that's good right? Also I've lost like 15/20 pounds because I can't eat anything anymore. Woo.

In further unrelated news, I am watching White Collar on Netflix, which I hadn't ever bothered with before. So cute! Such ripe OT3ness!

Much of it makes me pine for Leverage, though. Also, I'm smitten with all of the characters, but I'm currently on season 4 and I'm beginning to tire at the repetitiveness of the Peter/Neal dynamic (you know, Peter *wants* to trust Neal but can't, Neal *wants* to trust Peter but can't, rinse repeat). THIS is why Leverage is still king of the universe for me, because every season of Leverage brought character development. The relationships changed, and grew, and evolved.

But, it's very charming. Yay for built in ot3s.

First, a Doctor Who fic rec:

Bed Bath and Beyond by cjk1701. Written for sizeofthatthing, although not listed in their master list for some reason.

I found this doing a random search on whofic yesterday when I was overcome with a need for Donna fic (omg Donna don't leave me. *sob*). It's lovely, with understated angst, and is surprisingly hot for being more DoctorDonnafriends than Doctor/Donna. And short, as most Donna fic seems to be at this moment. Set post Midnight, no spoilers for 4x11 or 12.

My general jitteryness for 24 this season has driven me to the TWOP boards, and OMG, driven me right back out! It's like entering a mine field or a battle ground. One needs extreme head to toe durasteel skin, quick reflexes, and a defensive perimeter. I am enjoying the recaps, even if the TWOP brand of snarkiness sometimes makes me roll my eyes. On the other hand, I peeked at the FNL boards and recaps, and that seems to be all made of love, so, that's good! And shows how incredibly awesome FNL is. I hope the network execs are reading!

Anyhoo, that's not really what I'm here to say. What I'm here to say is, riffing on an icon I saw on some 24 community which had rotating pictures of James Bond, Jason Bourne, and Jack Bauer, and text like, "all these men have the initials J.B. Coincidence?", it got me thinking. Which, it's not the prettiest icon (even considering the subject) but it IS very amusing, HOWEVER they left out one crucial J.B. -- Jack Bristow. He even has the same first name as Jack Bauer!

And THEN! Of course, I immediately went to the crossover place. I mean, first of all, James Bond plus any of the rest of the JBs in any sort of story together kinda makes me *extremely* happy, like I might wiggle myself out into space kind of happy, but all of them together is almost too much of a good thing.

Let us ponder for a moment the extreme awesomeness of James Bond and Jack Bristow together, or, um, James Bond and Jack Bauer. Or, God help me, Jack Bauer and Jack Bristow! OMG THE POSSIBILITIES! CTU/CIA/MI6! Jason Bourne and James Bond... Jason Bourne/Jack Bauer. *BRAIN GOES BOOM* ETA: omg, the the header would say JB/JB/JB/JB. *DIES*.

This is all kinds of cracktastic goodness. Now, I just need someone to write it for me. *bats eyelashes*
