fic recs and another article about PJ directing the Hobbit

Take It Back Ten/Rose set during TIP/TSP - this fic has become my new canon for this episode. I've always kind of figured that if they became involved romantically it would've been around this time in the season and it's been ficced a million times a million different ways but this is just so exquisitely, perfectly drawn. I believe in the events of this fic. It's sad, it's funny, it made my heart ache in the best kind of way and to be honest I just kind of adored it from start to finish. Read it. You know you want to.

The Final Chapter an Eleven/Rose fic that absolutely has the monopoly on the upper spectrum of angst. I was actually sobbing as I read this, it's just so. Sad. It opens with a scene in a graveyard, ends with a wedding and not only made me cry - it also made me laugh (sometimes in a brokenhearted kind of way admittedly) and kind of want to hug my laptop. Don't read it if you don't like character death stuff but seriously? If you can hack it, read it. It's an amazing piece and Eleven's last line (and the gesture accompanying it) is so pitch perfect that I had a little bit of a flail over it even as I was crying. I cannot sing its praises highly enough, honestly, there are no words for how gorgeously sad this is.

Gotta love the catharsis! Anyway, latest news on the Hobbit movie is that it is DEFINITELY being directed by Peter Jackson which makes me insanely happy. Now if they can only get it done before we and all of the actors die of old age...

I've been putting off reading The Final Chapter, 'cause I know it's gonna be awesome and it's going to make me sad.

It IS awesome and it will make you sad BUT it's very very good so its worth the tears. Promise.

The thing I like about Ten/Rose in TIP/TSP is that in contrast to the many times Ten and Donna would protest that they weren't a couple when people assumed they were, here Danny greets them with "Here they are, our mysterious couple" or something like that and neither of them flinch. It's the one time Ten doesn't protest that he's not part of a "couple". They just seem so comfortable together there, and the little awkward scene where they talk about sharing a house is just fanfic worthy.

Definitely part of the reason why I love them so much ;)

But are they filming it in New Zealand? I read about the Actor's Guild threatening to throw all the Hobbit actors out if they filmed in NZ.

I have no idea :( why would they throw the actors out?

Thanks so much for the Hobbit update! It makes me so excited to hear PJ will be directing AND 3D. Hopefully, this holds true. *crosses fingers*
