He's at it again

Those of you who've been following my journal for a while may remember that my brother has a recurring medical problem - not really dangerous, but unpleasant and worrying. (See here for more details.)

It happened again on Thursday evening, and it still hasn't shifted. Yesterday he went to the out of hours surgery at the hospital, and after several hours waiting around saw a doctor who prescribed some pills to try and help. (I'm a little doubtful, given that swallowing them is going to be a problem, but they're the expert.)

I'm less worried than I was last time - he did manage some water yesterday - but we are going to try and push him harder into getting it looked into, now he's back here rather than in Leicester.

Turned into a cat... (Fluff Warning)

I've mentioned to several people that I meant to do a set of recs where one of our heroes is turned into a cat, and never got round to it. So I thought rectober was the perfect excuse to actually make it happen.

The first story I ever really noticed with this premise was in SGA. The fandom(and the show) had a traditional of alien technology doing unrealistic things, so it wasn't such a great stretch to imagine that John Sheppard could be turned into a small black cat, or that Rodney, with his canonical love of cats, would be the best person to protect his interests.

Merlin, with canonical magic and a YA tone, was an excellent fit for animal transformation stories - I still wish for the end of the series where Merlin got turned into a merlin - but cats were certainly a popular option. A common theme was that Merlin had to be in hiding for some reason, and that Arthur may not even realise that the cat he's become attached to was his big-earred manservant. :-)

Magic is canon the Avengers universe as well, and while I haven't come across that many cat transformations, this is a brilliant one.

I've been reading and enjoying a lot of Teen Wolf fic over the past few months, and naturally there are animal transformation stories - quite apart from the werewolves, of course. This being a universe where the characters haven't had so long to learn to trust each other, this is the spikiest of the stories in this set, though there's still some excellent bed sharing.
