Starfall Stories 32
Another
rainbowfic crosspost, a little sooner than usual, but these two and yesterday's were originally posted very close together as part of a linked sequence also written for
no_true_pair, and none of them are terribly long. I just wanted to post something and I'm not great again, so have this, and now I will very hopefully attempt editing more fic instead, but we'll see.

Hope you feel better soon.

Also, lol, because the short answer is: no, it will not be ultimately unhappy! And the long answer is: well, not going to be happy in the short term necessarily (although there will be some fun to be had first, or at least my idea of fun), but it will, via dreams, time and three different realities, be endgame.
I leave it to you to decide whether that's actually helpful or not. ♥

TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC
Re: TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC
I would say they should invent teleporters, but we'd just beam billionaires places they didn't ought to be and never let people go to the theatre with them, so maybe it's as well for now. <3
Re: TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC
I'm sorry, I've liked him ever since he stole most of the emotional poignancy of Stardust (2007) for me in literally three minutes, I can only commend him to your attention.
Re: TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC
Well, I seem to be failing at avoiding him lately! I actually had an opposite experience of him years ago, when I tried to watch a random episode of a bunch of detective shows for reasons, including an ep of Inspector Lynley & was so unimpressed with it, I thought he couldn't even act (!), so I have been actively skirting round him ever since, but as he literally came as a pair with Jeremy Northam in at least two of the things I watched this year, I got forced to re-evaluate and find out I had been wrong! I randomly & belatedly watched Stardust in the summer as well, and yes, I was also much more concerned about what happened to him than I was about anybody's else's fate (much as I enjoyed it the whole thing.)
Although, now that I think about it, I think he was the lead in the BBC Radio SNT adaptation of Faro's Daughter I listened to a while ago, when I first went through them for Martin Jarvis, and I thought oh he'll be ok at that anyway, and he was v good actually. I'm sure that was him, but I'd forgotten till typing this.
Anyway, yes. I stand corrected! I'm not at the point of seeking him out yet, but I have fully eaten my can't-even-act words several times over already. Turns out I just wasn't keen on Inspector Lynley!
Re: TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC
Right, I meant to ask you about A Village Affair! It hadn't been on my '90's queer media radar at all until you mentioned it.

I am honestly happy to know this effect works on people who aren't just me. Anyway, he's probably stellar in the Rattigan I can't see.

I don't know why it had never occurred to me that there would be radio adaptations of Georgette Heyer, beyond the fact that there are hardly any other kinds of adaptation of Georgette Heyer. I'm glad it was good! Faro's Daughter is one of the Heyers I really like.

I've never seen the show and will avoid it forthwith! Anything that can damp Nathaniel Parker must be beyond repair.
P.S. Since I am reading Rattigan's Ross, what business did this installment of Play for Today have disappearing? Apparently the entire internet wants to see it, too.
Re: TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC
The review suggests so!

Tbf to it, for aforementioned Reasons, I watched parts of a lot of detective shows over one week, and it is possible I just watched a particularly duff segment or was in a resentful mood re. watching random detective shows. I mean, both leads are good actors (even if I was, ahem, mistaken on the one front for a while there) and I know other people who enjoyed it. I don't think me taking it in aversion after 20 random minutes is necessarily a reliable guide! XD

!!!! Gosh. You'd have thought Canada could have salvaged it at the least, too. (That era of Lost BBC stories seems to generally be salvaged by Canadian film copies, where they survive, if sometimes only in b&w, so you should also have words with the relevant Canadian TV services for slacking and hanging onto Jon Pertwee and Doomwatch instead.)
That was dead in the middle of Martin Jarvis's young officer phase, too, so lol. Hi.
Right, I meant to ask you about A Village Affair! It hadn't been on my '90's queer media radar at all until you mentioned it.
I think I'd vaguely heard of it before, but then it was of a vintage that it would have been written up in the papers when I was of an age to read the TV pages. It's one of the other JN things I've seen, along with random other things, that I should talk about some time, but I don't because I have nothing to say, and not in a bad way re. the thing, just that's how I am. (JN was only in the middle of it, although he turned up and dramatically Ruined Everything, being that kind of character, and my attention went up and down entirely relative to his being onscreen or not, so I was probably not having a good few days.) And I was too woolly to take in enough of the rest of figure out how I felt about anything.
It seemed good and interesting and well done, though! Peter Jeffrey was in it, and wasn't entirely evil (he's the most villain of the week of the whole villain of the week brigade of Old Brit TV), he was a vicar, and it was directed by Moira Armstrong, who once burnt him at the stake for the BBC in 1972 as well as doing some of the best Adam Adamant eps back in the 60s. I'm not sure she should be allowed to also be in the 90s, heh.
(What IS weird about is that there is a BBC Radio version that has identical credits and idk if it is somehow the soundtrack edited to work that way, or they actually did a radio adaptation of it at the same time?? V. odd. It wasn't even a BBC thing. I don't really want to listen to it if it is the former because that would be silly, but obv am curious if the latter.)
