The Fan A to Z – #Z

Halleluia! Guess what? I am finishing my Fan A to Z today. A mere eleven (11!!!) months after I started it. Yeah, ridiculous. Guylty has pushed procrastination to a new level. Apologies for the time it took. Z – A chaRActer headcanon you have? Not sure whether this is a case of ‘leaving the most…

The Fan A to Z – #Y

With London out of the way, I continue through the last couple of letters of the Fan Challenge now. Y – Choose a work of art or a song that reminds you of RA Only one???????? The easy answer is this song and because of this exact fan video. I even bought the song download…
