Fanfiction: Chekhov's Knife (The Goes Wrong Show, Robert/Chris)
Mar. 5th, 2026 12:36 pmRight! I posted an entry about things that weren't The Goes Wrong Show, and everyone's very proud of me. Time to reward myself with more Goes Wrong fanfiction.
Title: Chekhov's Knife
Fandom: The Goes Wrong Show
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Robert/Chris
Wordcount: 2,700
Summary: Robert has the perfect plan for making things up to Chris after the Chekhov's Gun incident. Well, maybe 'perfect' isn't the right word.
Warnings: S... sort of self-harm? It's pretty atypical as self-harm goes, but this is a fic about Robert going 'well, I've injured Chris; obviously our relationship will be fixed if I can get Chris to injure me in return.'

General Gory?: JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA #48-49 (JLI 65)
Mar. 5th, 2026 06:08 am
Warning for lots of Nazi and Hitler imagery.
In a meta sense, the real threat to a figure like General Glory isn’t Nazis; it’s disillusionment, the vision of America with bloodied hands that can never be made clean. The General will face both threats in these pages, and he’s much more able to address one than the other. And this was produced during the early Nineties, with reference to the early Forties, which were both relatively good times for American patriotism. [Glances at headlines, shakes head, sighs]
( The Vietnam and Trump eras have been hard enough on Captain America; I’d rather not imagine the General trying to cope with them. )
Wrote another HR fic: If We Could
Mar. 5th, 2026 11:53 pmThe missing episode 5 scene in Ilya's hotel room at the All-Star weekend in Tampa.
Many others have had a go at this, and I wanted to try my hand at it.
If We Could
At 1361 words, it's short and probably a little over-optimistic, but obviously in writing it I already know what's coming in the rest of eps 5 & 6. 😊

What Was Your Favourite Part About Cocaine?
Mar. 5th, 2026 10:48 amOkay, I'm going to be very brave and make a post that's not about The Goes Wrong Show. Let's talk about videogames! You wouldn't know it from my determination to talk about Robert Grove five hundred percent of the time, but I have played a couple of interesting games lately.
The games in question are Silent Hill f and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. They're substantially different in gameplay and tone, but they're both on the theme of 'weird, intense, supernatural coming-of-age stories about young women'.
( Thoughts on Silent Hill f. )
( Thoughts on Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. )
Okay! That's your allotted entry about other things. Let's get back to working on my fifteenth Goes Wrong fic.
Apparently I posted fourteen Goes Wrong fics over the course of two months? Not counting the fifty-two Goes Wrong fills I wrote for the Three-Sentence Ficathon? I'm personally responsible for over 20% of the Chris Bean/Robert Grove fics on AO3. This might be the most severely and swiftly a fandom has ever eaten me.
I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to sustain my Goes Wrong illness, but I'm having a great time while it lasts!

Recipe Dessert
Mar. 5th, 2026 12:15 amPeach cream cheese cobbler
Ingredients
2 cans (20 oz each) peaches chunks or tidbits, drained (reserve ½ cup juice)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 box yellow or white cake mix
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Pinch of salt
Serves: 8–10
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 35–40 minutes
How to Make:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar, vanilla, and the reserved peach juice until smooth. Spread the drained peach chunks evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish.
Dollop the cream cheese mixture over the peaches and spread it out as evenly as possible. Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the top, followed by a dusting of cinnamon if you are using it. Pour the melted butter evenly over the entire surface, ensuring there are no large dry patches of cake mix.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling. Remove from the oven and let it stand for at least 15 minutes to allow the cobbler to set. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
🧊 Storage Tip:
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To reheat, place a portion in the oven at 300°F for 10 minutes to maintain the texture of the cake topping.

1. If your body could speak to you, what would it say?
It would say, the exercise is great, but you need to lose some more weight. Twenty pounds was just the beginning. I keep making desserts. And we eat them.
I do chair aerobics, but need to do them more then 30 minutes at night. I'll lose more, it'll take time.

No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
Mar. 4th, 2026 09:13 pmA few weeks ago, we lost
spikedluv suddenly, and now we've suddenly and tragically lost
minoanmiss. It's always devastating to lose anyone in our community, but it seems even worse when it's people who have such a presence within it and bring so much joy to it. My heart really goes out to everyone who was close to them, and to their families.

Miami Vice on Tubi!
Mar. 4th, 2026 09:57 pmIt's Christmas, folks!
Miami Vice is now streaming on Tubi -- on demand. It's been on Pluto all the while, but only live with the daily marathon, here you can pick and choose which episodes to watch and when.
So, if you've ever thought about checking it out and watching some episodes, now is your chance. Run, because from past experience, these things don't last long. I expect some people's suspicions are right though, and they are doing this because of the reboot movie coming out next year. It'll backfire on them, of course, because once you see the OG, you're not likely to go for a pale imitation. 😉
Watch Miami Vice Streaming Online | Tubi Free TV
Tubi is the best! First Donald Strachey, then Broadchurch, and now MV. I have the whole series on DVD myself, but I'm still thrilled that it's readily available for others to watch.
