08:49 am - No, I don't know why my brain does this, either...
A/N - Because my first response to seeing Tony messing with self-sustaining green power, was "Nikola Tesla would be all up in that." And if you have superheroes and mutants and aliens, why wouldn't you have vampires? Heck, it isn't like I don't need yet another fandom eating my life, right?
...Everyone knows what 'Code Green' means. Tony is already fumbling for his cuffs, activating the suit, when to his horror, a white-coated figure pitches through the glass wall of the lab, smashes into the opposite wall.
"JARVIS, I need medical..." Tony's voice dies away, as the man struggles up out of the glass and rubble, brushing himself off with...claws.
"I don't call that a reasonable argument." He growls, and Mercedes McCambridge, eat your heart out. And then he actually starts to stalk back towards the lab.
"Oh, no, no..." A lab tech...Harry, Harvey?...goes past Tony, and for some reason, he's shucking off his shirt. "Dude, not cool, I like these pants...I told you, but no, you always gotta be the big man..." And then there's suddenly a lot of hair, and claws, and teeth, and something tackles the scientist flat again just before the Hulk comes out swinging.
"HULK SMASH PUNY HUMAN!"
"Watch your language...oof!" Pitched back along the corridor by the (Tony's mind refuses to say the were-word) whatever, he lands at Tony's feet. Tony wishes he was more surprised when the eyes that blink open are black, and all he can think is that the guy really needs to take advantage of company dental...

08:28 pm - Somewhat Belated Birthday Ficlet for Trbl and Fansquee
A/N - I am a bad, bad person, and I am heartily ashamed of myself for getting distracted by shiny things in other fandoms. *hangs head* There was a snarky cute vampire?...No, okay, have a ficlet. Sorry.
Originally, the idea was for Penny to move into 4A. It made sense – she spent more time there than she did in her own apartment, after all. It was logical, economical, and the least disruptive of options.
So quite how they come to be moving into a slightly shabby little Craftsman bungalow near the University is never quite clear. But with Sheldon's increased professorial salary, and Penny's semi-regular tv role, it isn't a financial stretch, and Penny still gets a secret kick out of signing 'Mrs Penny Cooper' on things. They've been there a week, when Penny finds herself running out of the kitchen in response to a muffled yell from Sheldon.
She bursts in through the door of his study, expecting anything from a papercut to a flame-war about forks, to find Sheldon engaged in a staring contest with a small black kitten. Well, he's glaring at it. It merely blinks lazily back, then marches unevenly across his keyboard, and uses him a stepping stone to the ground.
"It sprang in through the window like a veritable panther, Penny." Sheldon is rather belatedly pulling the sash down. "It's the vanguard of a feline horde, I just know it."
"It's one kitten, Sheldon. A tiny, harmless kitten."
Penny crouches down, and rubs the furry little head butting at her ankles. It winds around her hand, purring like a small motor, then heads past her for the living room.
"Penny, stop it, stop it...oh, good lord."
The kitten has jumped up onto the end of the couch, paddles lazily at the striped cushion.
"It's in my spot."
"It's adorable."
"It's evil."
Sheldon glares. In the way of cats everywhere, the kitten promptly flings up a leg and washes it's bottom at him. She thinks that he's going to stroke out right there. His jaw sets with purpose.
"We are not keeping it, Penny."
...
Due to what Sheldon refers to as a 'satanic disposition', and a bad habit of sitting in doorways and letting the heat out, they call it Maxwell.

11:16 am - Hiddle me this
I was re-reading Chris Dee's Cat-Tales, and now I cannot unsee Tom Hiddleston as Eddie Nygma. Maybe green is just his colour.

07:25 pm - A random small ficlet
The suit is not the standard red and gold, or even a tooled up gunmetal grey, but a sleek silver, with flashes of blue and red, and a single star on the chestplate. It's almost the Cap's colours, so Clint drops down from the ceiling space and claps him on the shoulder.
The man yelps, spins, and lets out an uncontrolled burst of gauntlet fire that sees Clint dive for cover, and the suit ricochet off the ceiling and into the back wall of the lab.
Clint crawls out from under the workbench, and cautiously raises his head.
"Jeez, Steve, Darcy been feeding you triple espresso again?"
"That's not Steve." Tony, amused despite the broken ceiling tile he's brushing off his shoulders, "and he doesn't drink coffee." Waves a grimy hand. "C'mon, Tex, let's get those inertia dampers tweaked."
The faceplate flips up, and Clint finds himself looking at a pair of very blue eyes.
"My preferred designation is 'Lone Star'." The man huffs, climbing to his feet in a clatter of plaster.
Clint grins. Jane's new science buddy is fitting in well.
(So is his girlfriend. Though the shoe bill for Penny and Pepper's 'bonding experience' is going to make even Tony's eyes bulge.)
I'm not sure if this is going anywhere, or should go anywhere, because the last thing I need is to get my brain sucked into this crazy fanverse, but...seriously. Science and superheroes and snarky awesomeness. (Plus - magic-slinging bad boy in armour with complicated issues and woobie eyes? Loki is total AnJLbait.) Avengers Assemble!
Also, SHIELD would absolutely have to either recruit Sheldon, or kill him, once he found out that superheroes and mutants actually existed. And he would so make Penny drive him across New Mexico so he could fight with Jane about her equations.

- is extremely good. AU BBC Sherlock x'd with the Bronte's Gondal 'verse. (Yeah, the Bronte sisters wrote fanfic. We're in good company.) The author describes the genre as 'Murder in Ruritania.'

07:16 pm - Anniversary of TPP
So, it's two years today since I posted the first chapter of 'The Paladin Protocol'. Wow. Where did the time go? But I would just like to give a shout out and thanks to everyone who has reviewed, rec'd and enjoyed it. Cheers, people - it keeps me going when the blank screen mocks me, to know that I put something out there that people read and liked.
