~~

The doorbell chimed for the third or fourth time before Mac's head slowly rose from the couch and looked in the direction of his front door. It was nearly dusk, long shadows were cast across his living room. The fading sun highlighted empty beer bottles and takeout containers, various bits and bobs from abandoned projects, and papers that littered the floor.

"Go 'way," he muttered and dropped his head back down on the couch. There was no one he wanted to see, and he wasn't expecting a delivery.

Just as he thought he was being left alone, the banging started. Someone's fist pounded against the door.

That ruled out Bozer or Riley or Matty. None of them had visited him in months, and they all had a key.

There wasn't anyone else to worry about. Not anymore.

Silence came again, and Mac hoped whoever it was had given up. He was not getting off this couch for anything less than a miracle. And he didn't believe in those.

His phone dinged. Once... twice... a third time before he was able to locate it underneath one of the cushions that he was lying across.

There were three messages from an unknown number and a handful of unread messages from his former teammates.

He tapped on the messages from the unknown number.

Knock knock

Happy Birthday Angus

Hi all! It's been a minute, and I apologize for my absence. I think life is finally slowing down and starting to make sense again. I saw that it was Cairo Day this week, and I thought it would be fun to finish some fics from the old WIP folder.

For Cairo Day 2026, Day 1 prompt Collapse, I present:

We Went Kaboom

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: MacGyver (TV 2016) Rating: General Audiences  Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply  Characters: Angus MacGyver (MacGyver TV 2016), Jack Dalton (MacGyver TV 2016)  Additional Tags: Explosions, Hurt/Comfort, Hurt Angus Macgyver (Macgyver TV 2016), Hurt Jack Dalton (MacGyver TV 2016), Trapped  Series: Part 1 of Cairo Week 2026 Summary: 

Mac and Jack are caught in a building explosion and trapped under the rubble. They had separated before the explosion, so they can only keep in touch over comms while they wait for rescue.

(years got more specific due to changing landscapes of computer literacy and computer classes during the 2000s, 2010s)

use tags as elaboration, don’t overthink things, no real nuance here

One of the greatest tragedies of macgyver(2016) is that they stopped having shots of Jack holding on to the back of Mac’s belt to keep him from falling out of a car window after season 1

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! Happy Thursday to all!

Jack being away has hit them all hard, has affected each of them all profoundly in their own ways, Mac and Riley being at the top of that list.

But, moreso, Mac.

In a rare, vulnerable moment, influenced by exhaustion and pain meds, Mac confided in her that even after months of Jack being away, he still felt like he’d lost a limb.

Trailer dropped for Lucas' new show, The Abandons. He looks good, there's a brief moment of an accent, and I love Gillian Anderson and Lena Headey. The cast looks amazing.

Happy Halloween from the boys!

Crawling out of my hole to remind people that with this current update to Firefox (version 144) they've gone and dumped in their lot with a buncha lil AI tools, namely Perplexity as a new search engine.

So if the sound of that leaves your mouth tasting of tar, here's what you want to do:

In the url bar, type in about:config

It'll give you a big scary warning page that you might poke holes in your browser. Good. You want to do that. Click continue.

One by one, you're going to need to put each of these into the search bar in the page, not up top:

browser.ml.enable browser.ml.chat.enabled extensions.ml.enabled browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled

Each of these are gonna have a lil toggle icon on the right hand side that looks like a funky double-ended arrow. Click that and the value next to it should change to false. It all auto saves as you go. Some of these might already be set to false by default and that's peachy.

The next best thing you can do for yourself is to set your default search engine to udm14 or Qwant, but for now, we're just tidying the garden a lil bit.

It's been a hot minute since I updated this one, but here's chapter 10.

In which Mac and Jack's undercover op on a cattle ranch has gone both figuratively south and literally downhill.

“We in business?” Jack asked. “Not until we get it tuned.” “A little hard without a dial, yeah?” Mac let his lips curl as he reached for the tools. “Watch and learn.” Jack scoffed. “I’m watching, but you know damn well I ain’t gonna learn.”
