Not A Book Friday

This is not quite your typical true crime podcast. For one thing, Kate Winkler Dawson and Paul Holes, the two hosts are looking at older cases, and ones that have either been solved, or if they haven’t, they’re so old that they’re not even cold cases anymore. The other difference is that the podcast is very, very, very focused on the forensics of each case. Or, at least however much forensics they have from the time that the crimes happened. That only works because Paul Holes is a pretty famous retired forensics investigator.

So, for each episode (sometimes two episodes) Kate brings in a case, and, they talk about it. Yes, yes, it sounds as though it could be boring, but it isn’t. Especially when they are talking about really old cases. Also, Kate and Paul have such camaraderie and a good back and forth on the show. Even if they’re doing a case that I don’t like quite as much (usually because it’s much more modern than some that they do), they’re still enjoyable to listen to.

A definite must listen for those who like CSI, Bones, or any of the other many forensics shows and books!

Buried Bones

AMINA in WE ARE LADY PARTS S1

[happyk44]

percy repeating that he can be good over and over again to himself while covered in the blood after an overwhelming unleash of volatile rage that destroyed all that threatened his loved ones while grover holds his face and steadily grounds him back to reality

("i'm safe, we're safe, it's safe, just breathe")

saying your new home has 'good bones' after you just buried your co-worker in your front yard is crazyyy

[shivunin]

the fact that you start the Tabris origin by literally stepping into your mother's shoes. the fact that what you get is a wedding outfit and your mother's worn boots, kept carefully intact for years, tucked away for this exact moment. the fact that you then immediately take the path she never could, leaving behind the alienage and the wedding and following Duncan (who would have recruited Adaia first, if not for baby!Tabris) to what ought to have been death.

And Then!! instead of fighting and falling as she did, cheating death and becoming the fighter she always intended you to be instead??? Reliving and simultaneously subverting the story of her life??

Imagine being Pekka Rollins and genuinely having no idea why this angry emo keeps popping up who hates you so much to the point they publicly destroy your reputation, ruin your business, bury your son alive and get you sent to prison 😭😭

Everyone loves dark academia and cottagecore and themes of death and decay and being weird and mysterious until I have stray bones in my house and teeth on my shelf. Then I’m too weird for the weirdos. Too spooky for the so-called goths. You bitches can’t handle my bonus teeth

Does leopard still have 3 lives in her final battle? Or was that changed?

Yep. I think she drowned her once, then Leopardstar lunges up refreshed, and she gets the upper paw on Mistyfoot with 2 lives to go.

(MAYBE tw gore, but I really did try to be tasteful about a head being smashed on a rock.)

On her back, splashing and thrashing furiously against Leopardstar's claws dunking her head under, Mistyfoot glimpses a wave breaking just over the tip of a stone-blue rock. Her only chance.

With a surge of power, her claws sink into her leader's golden shoulder and they tumble and roll to the right. Before the tyrant even realizes what's happening, she's yanked up, and then whipped backwards with a wet CRUNCH

And then again

And again

And again, until Mistyfoot can't even make out what's left of her leader anymore. All she can see is that it's a red, brown, and yellow blur, because her eyes burning with salty tears and her whole body is trembling.

She drops the corpse onto the stone and it slides into the water, lifelessly. After a moment it spasms aimlessly one last time, like an insect does after its head is bitten off, unlike the deliberate, agonized throes of Tigerstar suffering through his doomed lives. And then it's still.

There's only the tranquil sound of bubbling water, and Mistyfoot's frenzied panting. Her pounding heart makes it hard to hear either.

The blood is carried off by the shallow water in scarlet swirls, but the lake runs pale red as if it's washing it away. Some were aware of this prophecy, but Mistyfoot was not.

It isn't closure to her, or a fulfillment of divine decree. It's just blood that should be on her paws, slicked away by the complicit river. She wished it could feel like it's over, but she's smart enough to know the truth. Has been through enough terrible events like this to understand what comes next.

Her body will move foward. Her mind will need to consider her deputy. Her paw will come down on code-defying cats like Blackclaw and Greenflower. But her heart will stay here, next to the remains of Leopardstar, the same way another piece of it remains at Stonefur's side across space and time.

if anyones wondering what the vibes in the archives in this au are in my head:

This random guy swans into the institute:

1) marked by so many of the fears you'd think he was collecting them,

2) Sneaks up on an Omniscient Avatar Of A God Of Fear, and

3) Baffles a harbinger of death because he Cannot See This One What

and he somehow walks out with a job because the afformentioned god of fear wants to know What His Fucking Deal Is.

Chaos Ensues.

Since I posted a big list and I'm a curious bugger...

Why aren't some fics in the list? Well, LBFD and ABSON are almost done (and supposedly Not Exactly Cinderella). And of course I'm not writing the one... and I only had 13 slots.
