two memes for the price of one (eight things, three fandoms)

Last of the things that are good, belatedly from yesterday: sitting outside on the new patio, grilling food and drinking cheap red wine and talking about anything and nothing with D----. Yay for summer having begun, even though it's not my favorite season, and we still have some of the muddy part of spring to get through yet.

Three fandoms, from lady_angelina. I expect this'll be TL;DR, as I can't seem to do pithy at all lately (lol sorry to anyone I've been tagging with walls-of-text). So follow the cut for TLDR on Star Trek (TOS mostly), Harry Potter, and Ace Attorney/Gyakuten Saiban.

( raaaaaaaaambly thoughts on fandom and butterflies, in the metamorphosis, not flitting, sense )

ETA: ack, massive HTML fail. Fixed now.
