Monday. Reporting in.
1. So I was in New York this past weekend for my birthday, and met up with fangirls, as one does and, as one does when Yuletide season approaches, repeatedly pimped my favorite super-obscure media thing, Niels & Gang. It's a webcomic-ish-thing, by Humon, who does the slightly-less-obscure Scandinavia & the World (sort of a kinder, gentler, Scandinavia-focused Hetalia, judging by my fandom-osmosis knowledge of Hetalia). Which is to say, Niels & Gang has webcomic installments, but a lot of the story is told with a piece of wordless art and a blog-post explanation/caption below it. (I gather there's further canon available in comment threads, but I haven't gone hunting for it all.)
Niels is a bisexual Dane in a long-term relationship with an African-American couple, Natalie and Duncan, Uncle Niels to their young son. He's also a totally amoral criminal who gets lonely when the cop who used to be devoted to hunting him down (but now, having lost his wife, is mostly interested in not dying and being a father to his young daughter) neglects him. There's a complicated cloud of other law-enforcement and criminal types around Niels and his beloveds, but, really, here are the important bits:
Morning Glow: Niels, his lovers, and his mommy/daddy issues.
Uncle Watches Over You: Niel, kiddo, two henchmen and one very sorry criminal who threatened Niels's family. (Niels's backstory is in the blog post.)
Threeway Wedding: what it says on the tin, plus Duncan and Natalie's backstory in the blog post.
Seduction of a Boyfriend: How Niels got together with Natalie and Duncan.
Rainy Days Are Fun: more domesticity.
Stop Calling: domesticity and arch-enemies.
Aaaand in case you forgot the thing I said up there about Niels being a totally amoral criminal:
Please Don't Cry: Niels, his victim, a gun, and a box of Kleenex.
SO. LET'S HAVE SOME NIELS/NATALIE/DUNCAN FOR YULETIDE, IS WHAT I AM SAYING.
2. I was going to say some other things (because it has been pointed out to me that sometimes people, when they have a LJ/DW, they use it to keep their friends updated about their actual life in some fashion). I was going to say something about New York being awesome and fangirls being awesome and dating being weird and difficult, but it is Monday and my brain is at pretty low ebb, so. Enjoy Niels & Gang, and maybe I will try that talking-about-actual-life thing some other night. *g*
