James Blunt: Damn thing's always getting caught under my feet.


Mind you, I've had a soft spot for him ever since the first time he appeared on HIGNFY and I realised he was a) funny, and b) more than ready to make fun of himself also. As this delightful clip proves:

It feels like forever since I read a proper long fic. But this week I did, and it was really, really good, and you should read it too if you have the time. It's a BtVS/Doctor Who crossover with flawless characterisation, a great plot and some beautiful, beautiful moments. Plus, it manages to fit into canon seamlessly:

The Slayer and The Doctor

Summary: When Buffy jumps, she expects peace. What she gets is a world without her friends, her sister, Sunnydale, or magic. But what this world does have is the Doctor. Set after The Gift/Journey's End. (Ten & Buffy friendship fic.)
