𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫.
Key points:
Blue text means it's a short story or a novel
The bat 🦇 means Konrad is present
The knife 🔪 means Sevatar is present
Many of these cover a vast timeline: I've put them in this order based on the narrator (example: Vulkan speaking about Nostramo just before Istvaan) or the first chapter (Child of Night starts immediately after Nikaea but ends during the HH)
I ignored books where they appear for 1 line only and do nothing important. I also ignored "Lion: son of the Forest" because that thing is actually a warp-thing and not the real Konny.

Travel back [...] a few hundred years to before the industrial revolution, and the wildlife of Britain and Ireland looks very different indeed.
Take orcas: while there are now less than ten left in Britain’s only permanent (and non-breeding) resident population, around 250 years ago the English [...] naturalist John Wallis gave this extraordinary account of a mass stranding of orcas on the north Northumberland coast [...]. If this record is reliable, then more orcas were stranded on this beach south of the Farne Islands on one day in 1734 than are probably ever present in British and Irish waters today. [...]
Other careful naturalists from this period observed orcas around the coasts of Cornwall, Norfolk and Suffolk. I have spent the last five years tracking down more than 10,000 records of wildlife recorded between 1529 and 1772 by naturalists, travellers, historians and antiquarians throughout Britain and Ireland, in order to reevaluate the prevalence and habits of more than 150 species [...].
In the early modern period, wolves, beavers and probably some lynxes still survived in regions of Scotland and Ireland. By this point, wolves in particular seem to have become re-imagined as monsters [...].
Elsewhere in Scotland, the now globally extinct great auk could still be found on islands in the Outer Hebrides. Looking a bit like a penguin but most closely related to the razorbill, the great auk’s vulnerability is highlighted by writer Martin Martin while mapping St Kilda in 1697 [...].
[A]nd pine martens and “Scottish” wildcats were also found in England and Wales. Fishers caught burbot and sturgeon in both rivers and at sea, [...] as well as now-scarce fishes such as the angelshark, halibut and common skate. Threatened molluscs like the freshwater pearl mussel and oyster were also far more widespread. [...]
Predators such as wolves that interfered with human happiness were ruthlessly hunted. Authors such as Robert Sibbald, in his natural history of Scotland (1684), are aware and indeed pleased that several species of wolf have gone extinct:
There must be a divine kindness directed towards our homeland, because most of our animals have a use for human life. We also lack those wild and savage ones of other regions. Wolves were common once upon a time, and even bears are spoken of among the Scottish, but time extinguished the genera and they are extirpated from the island.
The wolf was of no use for food and medicine and did no service for humans, so its extinction could be celebrated as an achievement towards the creation of a more civilised world. Around 30 natural history sources written between the 16th and 18th centuries remark on the absence of the wolf from England, Wales and much of Scotland. [...]
In Pococke’s 1760 Tour of Scotland, he describes being told about a wild species of cat – which seems, incredibly, to be a lynx – still living in the old county of Kirkcudbrightshire in the south-west of Scotland. Much of Pococke’s description of this cat is tied up with its persecution, apparently including an extra cost that the fox-hunter charges for killing lynxes:
They have also a wild cat three times as big as the common cat. [...] It is said they will attack a man who would attempt to take their young one [...]. The country pays about £20 a year to a person who is obliged to come and destroy the foxes when they send to him. [...]
The capercaillie is another example of a species whose decline was correctly recognised by early modern writers. Today, this large turkey-like bird [...] is found only rarely in the north of Scotland, but 250–500 years ago it was recorded in the west of Ireland as well as a swathe of Scotland north of the central belt. [...] Charles Smith, the prolific Dublin-based author who had theorised about the decline of herring on the coast of County Down, also recorded the capercaillie in County Cork in the south of Ireland, but noted: This bird is not found in England and now rarely in Ireland, since our woods have been destroyed. [...] Despite being protected by law in Scotland from 1621 and in Ireland 90 years later, the capercaillie went extinct in both countries in the 18th century [...].

Season 2 Theories
Possessions. Jon and Elias, the eye and the thing from angler fish respectively.
Not Sasha. Large part of season 2, table too. Tim involved?
Jon and Martin. Jon's paranoid, I am worried about what happened in the panic room because bonding might be broken. This will most definitely effect martin for the worse, leading to later problems.
Gertrude's death. Reasons Jons paranoid, gonna have to do with martin (as listed above), Dreamer says it was violent, three shots to the chest.
The Church of the Divine Host. The eye? Unsure of its connection to anything. Please note: the man burning. Edwin Burroghs possession was a ceremony in session? Kathy unscrewing lightbulbs and the spinach-like substance.
Jergen Leitneir. Fuck this guy, rich ass pimp, going to be the deaths of way to many (almost surely innocent) people. The tomb and under the building.
Tims dying. Only character w/out side plot (so far, Not Sasha? Unsure.) All signs point to yes.
New characters? Maybe Melanie King??? Unsure.
The sky???? Maybe????????? Unsure.
Beacon and Hope Deliveries. In two episodes, will be important. The delivery men from 35, was it? Coffin reappearance?
Places to remember. 93 Lancaster Rd, Hilltop Rd, St. Thomas Hospital,
The family with straight faces. Related to 34? (Thoughts are going to 24 as well, but doubtful.) Unsure.
Lost Johns Cave. Unsure of connections, has to do with the dark, like the guy from angler fish, amogst other things.
Major Tom. He better show up or I'm throwing HANDS. The spider on the shelf that Jon broke? Jon has Arachnophobia, has to do with this episode? Unsure.
The Meat. Where did the man upstairs get it from? Has to do with the Killing Floor?
The Circus of the Other (specifically Nikolai Oretsev) Unsure of its connections, but will be important.
Micheal, has to do w Not Sasha? I am almost positive there are more of him.
The spirit haunting Paul Macenzie, unsure of connections, possibly 24?
Death. Unsure of its connection to the main plot, but death is a largely feared thing. so will be connected somehow I believe.
Jon's fear. Connected to Martin somehow? He has a fear of many a thing.
The Hiker. Or, more accurately, The Hunter. Unsure of its connections but will be important to something.
The crew of the Tundra. Possible connections are as follows; The Church of the Divine Host, other sacrifice cult things?
Gertrude's filings. She solved it and thats how they were filed. By major plot lines (or…fears)
The sickness. similar to the man upstairs? Unsure. Trevor makes and appearance however and might reappear?
The Vase. Or, more accurately, the creature within it. I am unsure of its connections to the main plot but it will reappear in artifact storage
Mikilaie Sailsa. No i didnt spell that right but alas. He is the keeper of things that are 'lost' in my opinion. Connected to Leitner. Sold table to Graham? Unsure.
No more Jane. No more worms. Please.
#toot toot I'm hopping on the paranoia train with Jon#tma season two#i binged 12 episodes today#finishing season 1 and my bain is MUSH#i will cry if the worms reappear#if anyone spoils anything no you didnt#the magnus archives#jonathan sims#martin blackwood#sasha james#timothy stoker#i have a love hate relationship with this podcast#brb imma go cry

As Reformation Day Approaches...
Many will wish to talk about Martin Luther. Which makes sense because he famously nailed the 95 theses to the church door at Wittenburg on October 31st.
But what better time to commemorate all of the OTHER important figures and reformers of the Protestant reformation? Of whom there were many.
Wikipedia lists 284 people burned in England under Queen Mary I, as she attempted to consolidate her power. Her new laws declared anyone teaching against Catholic doctrines to be guilty of heresy and subject to the death penalty. The Catholic church has never denounced these murders committed by its members on its behalf.
These laws affected famous and regular people alike. Over time I may make a series of posts with more detail about some of these persons.
Incomplete list of the protestant martyrs in England under the cut. Courtesy of Wikipedia.

Last month I clearly posted my wrap-up a day too early because I ended up DNFing a book that same day and therefore starting another. I don't think that'll happen again, but I'm making sure to schedule this for the first just to be sure.
Anyway, this was an all right month of reading—some greats, some simple okays—and a very good month for not acquiring books. Only one ARC came home with me, I offloaded three, and I'm almost certainly not going to buy any books in the last day of the month, but I still have 12 hours. That might change, in which case this post will also and you'll never know what I originally typed. Yeah, that worked well. Darn used bookstores!
You already know how much I liked The Briar Club. My other top reads were A Desolation Called Peace (anyone surprised?), Wandering Stars (outside my wheelhouse but good), and Nicked, which is also out in the summer and was my solo ARC haul of the month. If anyone thinks "gay medieval heist novel" sounds like a good time, they should pick that up. Also, anyone who likes cats and picture books needs to pick up Floof.
And my lows might as well start with my DNF from last month, I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons. I was really hoping it would pick up and I could push through, but it was just the wrong sort of silly for me. (I ended up going home without a book, then binging Most Ardently over the next couple days after my Libby hold came early.)
I also found The Deerfield Massacre to be odd—less rigorous than I'd have liked, a little wobbly on its thesis, doing a poor job of balancing "this must have sucked for the survivors" with Indigenous perspectives and an awareness that the Europeans were, in fact, colonizers. And A Letter to the Luminous Deep sounded so good, but I found it slow and couldn't quite connect to the characters or world.
I don't know how May is going to go, in terms of reading, so this book might end up being my review of the month, but I'm enjoying it so am going to rec it now: Evelina! Frances Burney was one of Austen's favourite authors and I can absolutely see why, and how she influenced her. If you like Austen's novels, you should 110% pick this up, because it's got romantic troubles, a highly embarrassing family, a number of awkward balls and parties, and all manner of drama. Why hasn't this been adapted? It should have been years ago.
Lastly in bookish and/or life news, my store's latest Indie Bookstore Day party was a rousing success and I don't think my legs have recovered yet from all the walking. My ability to socialize almost certainly hasn't. (It's been three days.) Thank goodness for book lovers and my fellow booksellers. Couldn't have done it without all of them.
Click through to see everything I read this month, in the rough order of how glad I was to have read them.

Watching every Dracula adaptation! #2
Dracula (1931) starring Bela Lugosi
Next up is the first authorised film adaptation of Dracula. The movie is actually based on a play adaptation from 1924, which explains some of the changes they made.
Should you watch it? Yes, but not for the reasons you might think. The movie is very funny (not intentionally), great to watch with friends. It is also free to watch on the Internet Archive. It is still recognizably the story of Dracula, but a lot of the details have been changed, especially the characters, so beware of that if that bothers you.
↓ Character and Story Changes + notable moments under the keep reading. ↓
Character Changes: -Renfield takes up Jonathans role of the young solicitor traveling to Transylvania in the beginning of the movie. Until he is put under Draculas influence where goes back to his book version after that. Dwight Fryes performance as essentially both Jonathan and Renfield are both very entertaining. Like that man is giving 200%. -With Bela Lugosi starring as Dracula, this movie was definitely the starting point of the sexy-fication of the character. Even thought I think this Dracula has even worse social skills than his book counterpart. -Mina is actually Jack Seward’s daughter in the movie, I assume this change was made to explain why the main characters would be hanging around at the sanatorium. Personality wise she is a bit blander than her book counterpart, partially because she spents a good chunk of her screen time under Draculas influence. -John Harker (just John, not Jonathan in this version) has been definitely changed for the worse. They made him the sceptic that doesn’t understand what is going on and is constantly doubting Van Helsings advice. He feels a bit more like a douchy version of Arthur than Jonathan. -Like I said, Jack Seward is Mina’s father in this version and is the character in name only and in the fact that he owns a sanatorium. -Lucy (her surname has been changed to Weston) is a single girl since Arthur and Quincey don’t appear. She has a stronger interest in the macabre and has a small crush on Dracula (despite everything about him). -Van Helsing gets a lot of good lines in the movie, he seems a lot less eccentric, and Dracula remarks that he has heard of him. But he is not yet the badass expert vampire hunter later movies make of him. -The movie also added two prominent characters the sanitarium worker Martin the and nurse Briggs, which both serve as a kind of comic relief. Story Changes: -As far as I know this is the first time the female vampires (Draculas roommates) are referred to as his wives. -We get a lot more scenes from the point of view of Dracula -Dracula actually introduces himself to the main characters as their next door neighbour and casually comes over for conversation before they find out he’s a vampire -Lucy dies very shortly after being introduced, but the plotline of the gang trying to keep her alive was given to Mina instead - The ending is surprisingly anticlimactic. They find Dracula lying in his coffin in Carfax Abbey, Van Helsing kills him off-screen, while John looks for Mina. -Afterwards Van Helsing also says they should leave without him, they do and then the movie just ends
Notabel Moments: -The movie starts with Swan Lake out of all songs and then is dead silent when it comes to background music afterwards -The opossums and armadillos (classical Romanian wildlife)
-this GIANT BEE (totally not a normal sized Bee jerusalem cricket in a miniature coffin)
-The BATS!!! Oh my god the spirit halloween bats! The bat driving the carriage?! -the spirit halloween plastic spider on a string -”I never drink... wine.” is such an iconic line, that I was surprised it’s not from the book, this also goes for ”the strength of the vampire is that people will not believe in him” -The best scene in cinema history! I cant do it justice by explaining it, you’ll have to watch it yourself, it’s at 1:03:20
Next Up: Dracula (1958) starring Christopher Lee

Until the day she wakes up a man with a toe tag reading 'D Hale' and now it's her turn to be annoyed because that mother fucker won't stay dead
Name: Charlotte Eloise Deveraux Fic: Coven Wars Ship: None Species: Witch FC: Leighton Meester There was a lot of pressure that came with being the eldest daughter in the Deveraux home. Unfortunately, Charlotte has never been good under pressure. Her cracks came in the form of rebellion of fooling around with the wrong kind of guys. And when she got pregnant, her mother 'handled' the problem. Taking the child away before Charlotte even had a chance to lay eyes on her daughter. Now, nearly 18 years later, the Deverauxs are on the rapidly losing side of the magical war they've been raging in for generations- and Charlotte's past is back to bite them all

Name: Jude Amalie Deveraux Fic: Coven Wars Ship: Lydia Martin Species: Witch FC: Renee Rapp Living a life as the undisputed future head of the Deveraux family, Jude knew she could get away with murder and she pushed the limit constantly.

Name: Leiden Elise Deveraux Fic: Coven Wars Ship: Dimitri Sokolov Species: Witch Deveraux Princess Leiden has never broken a rule in her life (at least she's never been caught breaking a rule) so when she's approached by not only Eli Hale, but Dimitri Freaking Sokolov to break them all to help solve a mystery her first instinct is to tell them both to take a hike but maybe choosing to do the exciting thing for the first time in her life- is a good thing?
Name: Lev Mikhail Sokolov Fic: Coven Wars Ship: tbd Species: Witch The party boy at heart, Lev has never taken anything too seriously. He's just here to have a good time, being too serious is Artem's job. However when Lev finds himself wrapped up in the McCall Pack drama, he's going to have to put down the party boy image and use his magic to save the damn day, whether he likes it or not.
Name: Mia Celeste Hale Fic: Coven Wars Ship: Jordan Parrish Species: Werewolf Once upon a time, the Hale Pack was a force to be reckoned with. But a bitch taking advantage of Derek and a whole light of kerosene ruined that. Mia was out at a sleep over that night and was forced to watch her famly burned. Lucky for her, her older brother and sister survived and she was able to remain in Beacon Hills. Now a reporter at the Beacon Hills Gazette, she is looking to get closer to the cute new deputy, mostly to keep an eye on things and keep them far far away from her family and Pack
Name: Mikhail Anatoly Sokolov Fic: Coven Wars Ship: Kate Argent Species: Witch The Patriarch of the Sokolov family, Mikhail is a monster and he doesn't care who knows it. To him the only thing that matters is power and that means getting rid of that damned Deveraux family no matter the cost. Working with multiple accomplices, Mikhail's plan to seize power is never ending.
Name: Wesley Anne Brooks Fic: Coven Wars Ship: Liam Dumbar Species: Werewolf Being a female werewolf is hard. All Westley wants to do is play Lacrosse but she's too rough for the girls team and keeps getting denied for the boys team. But this year is her year, she's campaigned her way in thanks to Past female lacrosse players like Kira. But when Nolan and Gabe begin their crusade to hunt down all the supernatural creatures in the school, her year might just be cut short. Oh and her long lost father? Yeah he's here too
Name: William Henry Argent Fic: Coven Wars Ship: Artem Sokolov Species: Human (Hunter) As a member of the famous Argents, Will knew his place in life. He was to hunt down all the dirty rotten Supernatural creatures ruining the world. However, a quick stop in Beacon Hills to see his family has everything he's ever known derailing in ways he couldn't imagine.

Goose Day
National Goose Day is celebrated on September 29 every year. Also known as Michaelmas Day, the holiday initially celebrated the Archangel Michael but later became associated with geese because the date coincided with rent day in medieval England. Geese were a common form of payment, and many a citizen paid off their landlord with a goose tucked under their arm. Today the holiday is an excuse to munch on some tender roast goose, a bird that’s not eaten as frequently nowadays. No matter how you choose to celebrate, enjoy International Happy Goose Day!
History of National Goose Day
Egyptians were among the first civilizations to domesticate geese some 3,000 years ago. They captured thousands of the birds in nets, kept them in pens, and bred them for meat and eggs. Goose was a delicacy only the wealthy merchants and nobility could afford. In the 4th century in France, locals told the story of St. Martin of Tours and his geese. Martin did not want to be a bishop, and on the day of his appointment, he locked himself inside a barn. The honking was so loud that the geese drew the congregation to the barn, where they discovered Martin hiding. Martin became a bishop in 327 A.D. The goose was the traditional bird eaten by the Christian faithful on his feast day on November 11.
The first informal Goose Day in the U.S. was celebrated in Pennsylvania, in the Juniata River Valley. A Dutchman named Andrew Pontius employed Archibald Hunter, and their contract stated that Pontius would settle payments on September 29. Hunter appeared on Pontius’ doorstep with a goose on the day of payment. He explained to his employer that geese were good luck symbols for the coming year.
This is how the tradition of Goose Day caught on in America, starting in the Juniata River Valley. In 1973, International Goose Day was officially celebrated in Mifflin County, and in 1976, Juniata County followed suit. Since then, International Happy Goose Day has been observed annually on September 29.

National Goose Day FAQs
Do geese have teeth?
No, geese do not have teeth.
How long do geese live?
Canadian geese live between 10 to 24 years, while swan geese live for 20 years.
Do geese mate for life?
Geese mate for life, and it’s rare for them to split up.
National Goose Day Activities
Roast a goose: Roast goose has a gamey but intense flavor comparable to dark meat like beef. Now is the perfect time to give it a try.
Fry a goose egg omelet: Goose eggs are larger and richer in flavor compared to chicken eggs. A goose egg omelet is sure to be a tasty treat.
Sharing is caring: Give your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers some succulent goose meat to sample. They’ll love it, and you get to introduce one more person to this delicious fowl.
5 Great Facts About Geese
Imprinting on moving objects: Goslings will imprint on the first suitable moving stimulus, whether it's a mother goose, a human being, or an object.
Geese are territorial: Geese are fiercely protective of their territory, making them good guard animals on a farm.
Geese are the largest waterfowl: Aside from swans, geese are the largest waterfowl.
They are loyal: Geese mate for life and are very protective of their partners and offspring.
Goose alarm: In ancient Rome, geese were used to alert the citizens of the Gaulish invasions.
Why We Love National Goose Day
Goose meat is juicier: Farmers often joke that geese are the pigs of the air, bred to be lard animals. This means their meat is juicy and tender. You won’t need any gravy.
They have a unique taste: Geese absorb the flavor of whatever they eat in their body fat. Breeds like Black Brant are prized for this reason. Fed on eelgrass or wild celery diet, they’re pretty popular on the West Coast.
It’s a welcome change: People don’t eat goose as much as they used to. It’s a nice change if you’re bored of eating chicken or turkey all the time.

13th February 1728 saw the birth of John Hunter, the Scottish physician and anatomist.
Born at Long Calderwood, his actual birth date is unknown, another source gives July 14th but the majority plump for February 13th.
Surprisingly Hunter never completed a course of studies in any university, and, as was common for surgeons during the 18th century, he never attempted to become a doctor of medicine. He went to London in 1748 to assist in the preparation of dissections for the course of anatomy taught by his brother William, a famed obstetrician. In the winters he studied anatomy in his brother’s dissecting rooms, and in the summers of 1749 and 1750 he learned surgery from William Cheselden at Chelsea Hospital.
In 1753 he was elected a master of anatomy at Surgeon’s Hall, responsible for reading lectures. He began his own private lectures on the principles and practice of surgery in the early 1770s. In addition, he had teaching duties from 1768 at St. George’s Hospital, to which he had been elected surgeon in 1758. In 1760 Hunter accepted a commission as an army surgeon. He returned to London in 1763, where he continued in private practice until his death. In 1776 he was named surgeon extraordinary to King George III.
Hunter not only made specific contributions of great importance in surgery but also attained for surgery the dignity of a scientific profession, basing its practice on a vast body of general biological principles. In an attempt to demonstrate that gonorrhea and syphilis are manifestations of a single disease, he inoculated a subject (sometimes said to have been himself) with pus from a person with gonorrhea. The subject developed symptoms of both diseases.
Hunter wrote a number of books on surgery throughout his life, he owned a house in London's Earls Court that had large grounds which were used to house a collection of animals including 'zebra, Asiatic buffaloes and mountain goats', When the animals died he would boil the bones down and use them for animal anatomy, a newspaper article reported that many animals there were 'supposed to be hostile to each other but . . . in this new paradise, the greatest friendship prevails', and he may have been the inspiration for the Doctor Dolittle literary character.
Hunter's death in 1793 was due to a heart attack brought on by an argument at St George's Hospital concerning the admission of students. He was originally buried at St Martin-in-the-Fields, but in 1859 was reburied in the north aisle of the nave in Westminster Abbey, reflecting his importance to the country.

Rating: 3/5
Book Blurb:
One Last Stop meets Cemetery Boys in this swoony YA romance from beloved author James L. Sutter.
Eighteen-year-old ghost hunter Cara is determined to escape life as a high school outcast by finding proof of the supernatural. Yet when she stumbles upon the spirit of Aiden, a popular upperclassman who died the previous year, she learns that ghosts have goals of their own. In the wake of his death, Aiden’s little sister, Meredith, has become a depressed recluse, and Aiden can’t pass on into the afterlife until he knows she’ll be okay. Believing that nothing pulls someone out of a slump like romance, he makes Cara a deal: seduce Meredith out of her shell and take her to prom, and Aiden will give Cara all the evidence she needs for fame. If not, well—no dates, no ghost.
Wooing the standoffish Meredith isn’t going to be easy, however. With Aiden’s coaching, Cara slowly manages to win Meredith over—but finds herself accidentally falling for her in the process. Worse yet: as Meredith gets happier and Aiden’s mission nears completion, his ghost begins to fade. Can Cara continue to date Meredith under false pretenses, especially if it means Aiden will vanish forever? Or should she tell Meredith the truth, and risk both of them hating her? And either way, will she lose her only shot at proving ghosts are real?
Review:
How far would you go to prove that ghost exist? Would you strike a deal with the ghost of a classmate to ask out his sister to prom in exchange for him helping you with your ghost hunting show? Cara is an 18 year old ghost hunter who is determined to escape her town. She wants to make it big as a ghost hunter so when she stumbles upon the actual ghost of Aiden, a popular upperclassman who died, she knows this is her chance to finally make it. Ever since Aiden passed away his younger sister Meredith has become a depressed recluse and he can't pass on until he knows she'll be okay. Aiden thinks that the best way to solve his sister's state is by having a cute girl ask her out. Aiden offers her a deal: If Cara can seduce his sister and take her to prom, get her out of her shell, then he'll give her all the evidence she needs to make her famous. Cara knows she has her work cut out for her, Meredith is standoffish and it's not going to be easy to win her over. Yet with Aiden's coaching, Cara manages to slowly win over Meredith... and actually begin falling for her. Yet the happier Meredith becomes and the closer Aiden gets to completing his goal, the more Aiden's ghost begins to fade. Can Cara keep dating Meredith under false pretenses... or will telling her the truth risk her losing everything? This was an overall cute romance read with elements of ghosts and the friendship in it was nice. My only thing was that I really just didn't like Cara all that much. I loved Meredith and Cara's friends Holly and Elvis were amazing, Cara just wasn't all that great. The romance was okay and I enjoyed the friendship dynamics and the sibling relationship between Meredith and Aiden. Overall if you are looking for a sapphic romance with a touch of ghostly mischief, give this one a go!

Methos (available on Archive mainly; debut of an iconic character)
Take Back the Night
Testimony
Finale (Kalas finally meets his end; part one is on YT, not Archive but you can catch part 2 on Archive)
Season 4 (you'll have to rely on Archive mostly from this point forward because the uploader on YouTube has the episodes of Season 4, onwards either incomplete or missing):
Brothers in Arms
The Innocent

Double Eagle
Reunion (a backstory with Amanda and the brat Kenny)
Reluctant Heroes (available on YT, not on Archive)
Chivalry

Something Wicked (Dark Quickening)

End of Innocence (available on YT; file name - Prophecy)
Haunted (file name - Money No Object)
The Messenger (file name - Little Tin God)
Comes a Horsemen (file name The Valkyrie)

Deadly Exposure (Reagan Cole, who's teacher is also Amanda, audition episode #4)
Two of Hearts (Katherine, audition episode #5, my favorite and she's played by Claudia Christian and she's going to be Kristina Graf's teacher in Earth N)
Indiscretions (Joe's daughter Amy, not to be confused with Amy O' Connor)
To Be (first of two part finale)
Not to Be (the second of the two part series finale, Available on YT, not Archive)
Now, it's your call if you want to watch Archangel (the episode that upset many Highlander fans, including myself, hence Clan Denial, albeit I'm borderline denial; file name is Forgive Us Our Trepass) as well as Avatar and Armageddon, brace yourself. You might as well since it might be Earth N canon, but not in regards to Richie's fate in the episodes.

My media this week (2-8 Jun 2024)
📚 STUFF I READ 📚
🥰 The Shabti (Megaera C. Lorenz, author; Matt Haynes, narrator) - wonderfully fun supernatural adventure romance set in the '30s. Just delightful. feat Horatio, a heckin' chonker of a cat. ilu horatio, even if you don't have a neck.
🥰 The Secret Lives of Color (Kassia St. Clair, author & narrator) - {nonfiction} This was rec'd in one of my discord servers as 'If you are ever in the need for a pleasant-sounding British woman telling you Interesting Facts About Colors then may I recommend The Secret Lives of Color by Kassia St. Clair, which is exactly that for 8 hours' and it was precisely that and it was wonderful and soothing and so interesting.
🥰 MateHub: Legend (MateHub #1) (Marie Reynard) - erotic romance about a wolf shifter porn star who finds a Mate™ in his new human co-star. Tropetastic & hot af, exactly what I wanted from a book with this set up. But my fave thing was the absolutely hilarious porn star names: Richard Knotz, our main MC wolf shifter. Hunter Savage, Max Hardwood, Trick Wilde (coyote shifter, natch). I snorted with laughter every time one came up. [really love a book that just knows what it's trying to do and executes beautifully on that premise]
💖💖 +166K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖
Transcript: Steven Rogers and James ‘Bucky’ Barnes' appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, February 4, 2017 (deliciousblizzardshark) - MCU: stucky, 2.7K - cute & funny
fighting vainly the old ennui (Fahye) - MFMM: phryne/jack, 13K - AU where Phryne's a jewel thief but Jack's just as fascinated [reread]
Love Runs Wild (DevilDoll) - Teen Wolf: sterek, 9.4K - inspired by the shifter porn romance above, had to reread this fantastic story where they're both porn models & Stiles accidentally shows up to work with a hickey. True forever fave.
