it snows nine months of the year and hails the other three

Yuuko sets down her spoon and fork and says, “I was to have two traveling companions, servants of mine if you will. But one took ill quite suddenly and the other insisted on staying behind to care for him.” She smiles the mocking smile again and beckons the servant to refill her goblet (for the sixth time, and they’re only on the second course). She giggles, and even that is elegant. “They have a deep connection. It’s a shame that they couldn’t be here.”

“Your servants are married to each other, milady?” Morgana asks curiously.

“They are not,” Yuuko says, “Just connected by the red thread of destiny.”

Merlin goes white. Arthur has discovered that Merlin hates destiny. “Destiny,” he says.

Yuuko finishes her wine and the servant hops up to pour another glass without her even asking. She swirls the wine in the glass, looking down at it for a moment, and then she smiles, slow and dangerous in a way that makes Arthur a little afraid for his sanity. “Destiny,” she affirms, voice low and full of certainty. “It is a fabulous thing, isn’t it? But there is not just destiny; there is fate, too—how some things are certainly to be, and how some things are not, and you cannot change that.” Her smile grows. “In my country, we call it hitsuzen.”

Merlin is looking at Arthur with a very certain Look on his face. When he catches Arthur’s eye, he mouths, fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Arthur is suddenly inclined to agree.



Guys, it is Merlin/holic crossover because sapphirestar_ just happened to put a Merlin icon up when she replied to a comment of mine and we had this big discussion and she's finally forced me into actually thinking about what would happen when Yuuko and the Great Dragon meet and WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING.

Someone stop me. PLEASE.

...or don't. I can't decide.

SARA!

She's still alive! She's still alive!

Yes yes yes!

Of course, this means she could still die, but...YES!

HOUSE AND CAMERON KISSED OMG!

Yes, it was for a reason, and yes, he's going to die in a year (CANCER AH!), but THEY KISSED!

Wow. Grey's Anatomy.

Suffice to say I cried more than once...Cristina and Meredith, Derek and Meredith, Denny and dylan and Meredith and the gang, but hardest during Denny and Izzy's final moment, and during Meredith and her mom: "You are anything but ordinary."

How wonderful. Such a great episode. I can't say anything about it. Oh my God.

I hooked my father onto Grey's Anatomy.

Excellent.

Speaking of Grey's, talk about a fantastic episode. Wow! And Meredith falling off? AH!

More and more I love Addison. And Alex. And Bailey.

Can't WAIT for next week!

Anyone watching the Masterpiece Theatre Jane Eyre miniseries?

True to the book, excellently acted, great cinematography. Try to watch it, please, if you can somehow get a hold of it.

I love Rochester and Jane. They're so much fun!

Ooh! George’s comment to Christina was brilliant—and then Alex stuttering about Addison and Christina thinking he was plotting something when they’d only just almost kissed…brilliant.

Addison and Callie being friends was interesting. I didn’t know they were friends. I liked it. I liked Callie pouring out her heart and Addison not paying attention, but then Callie returned the favor by listening to her. That was great.

Cristina is being totally childish, but it was totally funny.

And George’s brother farting and Callie and George trying not to laugh was great. I love Callie and George a lot.

Poor Bailey. Can’t help but feel sort of bad for her, especially because you could tell she was hurting for George. And poor George. I like him more and more with every episode—I think he and Alex have some of the most extensive character development.

And Burke and Cristina were amazing. Incredibly childish, but sooooooo funny.

And Alex needs to choose OB/GYN. Instead of plastics. Sloan’s an ass. And Addison’s way cooler. And Alex and Addison. NEED TO KISS! ARGH!!

Callie talking to Sloan was amazing. I love Sara Ramirez more than anything—she’s sooooo talented.

Meredith talking to Thatch was good—I felt as if they resolved some things as best they could. I liked Thatch offering that little piece of advice—I’m glad she accepted it with grace. Good Meredith!

Poor George. Having to let his dad go like that—but he and his family really pulled through. Giving George the call, even though they’d never done it before, was good. And all the interns plus Callie being there for him was amazing. Poor George, though—walking by them. Cristina going after George was fantastic—and the Dead Dads club was great. It brought tears to my eyes—Cristina was almost the most sincere I’ve ever seen her. George: “I don’t know how to exist in a world where my dad doesn’t.” Cristina: “Yeah, that never changes.” Beautiful. I loved it.

Yay for Heather!

YES YES YES YES! They kissed! Finally! YES!

And Derek and Meredith solving the snoring problem was great, too. I wonder when they’re going to start canoodling again, but I like that they’re not rushing, too—it’s nice that they’re being the real steady couple now.

Can't wait for next week. Callie in the teaser: "George has become a sex machine." I seriously burst into laughter.

Saw House, M.D. tonight.

I could have a new obsession. *g*

Anneliese being a bitch. I'm pissed.
