Dark Angel Vid

Treat Me Like a Villain by [livejournal.com profile] danegan Dark Angel. Without a doubt one of the very best vids I have ever seen.


DCU

Close to Home by [livejournal.com profile] iesika Kon/Tim, Kon/Cassie, Kon/OMC Rated R. A murder mystery at Smallville High drives Kon to brush up on his detective skills – and his undercover work. He might need to call in some help. Good thing his best friend is an expert at both. Con is perfectly clueless and earnest.


Glee

Wonderwall by [livejournal.com profile] anomalousalanna R. Quinn/Rachel. I read this fic a while back while Sal and I were on the beach. I immediately recced it to her and by extension thought I had recced it to everyone else. Note to self, telling one person does not mean you ever told anyone else. This fic is perfect. Quinn gets kicked out and winds up living with Rachel and her dads.

“How did I go from head cheerleader to pregnant lesbian?” She asks the other girl thoughtfully.

“I must just be that good.”


She is and the fic is pitch-perfect

Gossip Girl

Blair and Audrey Picspam by [livejournal.com profile] artemis_sparks fabulous picspam.

Harry Potter
To Make a Wager by [livejournal.com profile] artemis_sparks Harry/Pansy, Draco/Harry light R. Draco and Pansy have been making bets since childhood. Now they can't seem to stop.

"But – But you're not Granger," he said earnestly. "You don't care about N.E.W.T.s. All you want after Hogwarts is to start your own line of nineteen-forties-themed cosmetics."

She shrugged noncommittally and devoted herself to eating her chicken.

Draco adored Pansy, but he didn't trust her one bit. She always had ulterior motives. So did he. It was why they were friends.

So, that night he resolved to follow her. Pansy went out nearly every night to meet some bloke or other. There was a solid chance that it was a bloke affecting her decision because the only thing Pansy took more seriously than boys was mascara.



Trajectories by [livejournal.com profile] bookshop Draco/Harry Rating: PG. 8th year at Hogwarts, portraits, grief, in my favorite fic of the holiday exchanges this year. GREAT look at portraits.

Star Trek Reboot

So Wise We Grow by [livejournal.com profile] captanddeastar Kirk/Spock, Ensemble. Rated R. All I have to say about this is \o/\o/\o/\o/ and you've been reading a lot of kid!fic and want something *awesome* this is what you should read.

“Commander Spock, we have located your son,” the Vulcan lady on the screen says, which would be great, except Jim can tell by the look on Spock’s face that he’s never heard of this kid before in his life. “If it is expedient, the child will be sent to join you on the Enterprise within the week.”

::cracks knuckles::

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Less Than Real by Zulu Faith/Dawn, Explicit. This fic is gorgeous, just gorgeous. It begins with "When Dawn was real ... " and goes from there. The voices are sublime.

Crossover
Leverage/Veronica Mars


Four Times Parker Got Away from Veronica, and One Time She Didn't by ScintillaIo Veronica/Parker. Exactly what the title says it is, also short, simple, and perfect. Veronica always catches her mark. Parker only gets caught when she wants to.

Friday Night Lights/Sons of Anarchy/Supernatural

Not Because You Should, But Because You Must by [livejournal.com profile] devilc Adult Tim/OFC, Jax/Tim/Dean. This is So. Much. Fun. Seriously. If you're familiar with the fandoms [and even if you're not] this is a blast.

Dark Angel

Rage Against the Dying of the Light by [livejournal.com profile] lyl_devil PG-15 Species study. Fascinating look at how the X-series self-governs and the implications [non-porny] of heat.

Dune

This City, The Ruins in Its Heart by [livejournal.com profile] bantha_fodder Gen. Alia character study that nails it so hard I bet Frank feels it in his grave.

She is preborn, adult before her time, and the children of the sietch are not her friends. Abomination, they declare, harbinger, coan-teen, words they can barely pronounce, let alone understand, and if she were on any other planet her eyes would well with tears, and she would leak water for her childhood.

She is Fremen, though, and she conserves her water.

Cultivates her anger.


Gossip Girl

Charlie Foxtrot by [livejournal.com profile] artemis_sparks R Dan/Chuck, Dan/Blair, Chuck/Blair. Future fic, Dan POV he finally gets Blair and Chuck. And himself. Just perfect.

I would like to pause at this juncture and make this an overall Author rec. After reading Charie Foxtrot I was so impressed with how she got the characters and their language and their motivations and skillfully wove together what was great with the books and what was great with Season 1 and ran with it that I read every single fucking thing she has ever written.

Let me tell you, she's good. Other outstanding GG fics include: On How to Be Lovely; A History of Waldorf and Hepburn, 11.27.08, and All the Girls We Could Be

In Harry Potter

try
L'Effet
and Secretary/Assistant

Little Red Corguette by [livejournal.com profile] blamebrampton PG Draco/Harry I love every single thing I've read that Blamebrampton has written and this - is spectacular. Draco works for the Department of Standards. This years corguettes aren't up to European standards. Viva La Revolution!

RPS(f)

The Remedy by [livejournal.com profile] moosesal NC-17 Chad Michael Murray/Kenzie Dalton; Chad/Jensen Ackles; Jensen Ackles/Danneel Harris; ultimate Chad/Danneel/Jensen Warnings/Enticements: het, slash, and threesome sex; cunnilingus; rimming; felching; pegging; double penetration; and one bestiality joke.

Seriously, this is some funny, FUNNY stuff. It's also got amazing voices, wonderfully hot sex, and an ease of reading that makes it fly by and you wish there were more.

Sons of Anarchy

Vid


So Cold by [livejournal.com profile] almostgaby Seriously the best vid I've ever seen for the song. The story it tells from Sons will make your breath catch.

Self Pimpage

Friday Night Lights:
How to Be a Team Leader in One Easy Lesson Pre-series Saracen/Riggins/Street/Williams Adult

Better Late Than Never PG Tyra, Lyla

Crossover FNL/SoA
Riggins Won't Fear the Reaper Gen. Humor, Crack.




Please, if you read something and enjoy it, let the author know.

Being Human

Precious, vid by [livejournal.com profile] angelmoogle. Not especially stylistic or flashy, but with only one episode, there's not a lot of source material. The lyrics work and it's nice to see Mitchell anyway I can get him. If you're thinking about torrenting the episode but are wavering, give this a looksee.

Dark Angel

Standing the Heat by [livejournal.com profile] veronamay Alec/Logan NC-17. Alec goes into heat. Yes, it's a fandom cliche, who cares? Very yummy fic.

Gossip Girl

The Wake Up Toast by [livejournal.com profile] them0rgue Eric, mild Eric/Asher. My favorite fic in the fandom, hands down

The first thing they make him do in the Ostroff Center is write down, in his own words and handwriting, exactly what happened. What he did, what he said and felt. Everything. The further he gets from the Event, his therapist—“Call me Rebecca,” she says, looking him straight in the eye—tells him, the less clearly he’ll remember it.

Eric gets as far as It was a dark and stormy night before he runs out of steam.

Instead he makes a bulleted list. Went to the bathroom. Turned on the shower. Sat down in the shower. Cut lengthwise down the wrist. Waited.

His therapist reads it in silence before looking up at him. “This is good, Eric,” she says gently, “but we’re really interested your feelings.”

He doesn’t know how to say that he’s not sure he has any.


and



When Eric turned thirteen, he spent the night curled in an unforgiving hospital chair while they pumped Serena’s stomach and hooked her up to an IV. Their mom was there, kind of, pacing in and out of the waiting room, on the phone with their dad, speaking in hushed tones or getting watery burned coffee from the mess.

They weren’t alone. There were other pinched, desperate-looking families glancng up hopefully whenever someone passed through. He remembers thinking that this was where you waited around for people to die. Another mother sat directly across from him with a son, a little boy asleep in one of those wrap-around papoose carriers. She never looked up when someone came in, just scratched into a Times crossword with heavy bags under her eyes.

Rebecca nods when he relates this story but doesn’t write anything down. “Do you think about her a lot?”

Eric nods, then processes the question and shakes his head. “No. The baby.”

“Why the baby?”

He pushes a fingernail under his bandages. He doesn’t really remember wanting to die. More like he just wanted to calm down. “I just thought it would be nice to be able to sleep through all that.”


Really, really amazing read.


RPS

This One Time at Band Camp by [livejournal.com profile] hackthis Ari Gold/Robert Downey Jr., PG-13. The on-going adventures of Ari Gold. Wonderful fun, funny, smart read.

Smallville

Paranoid Android, vid by [livejournal.com profile] bop_radar Lex character study, includes footage for all of season 7. This vid can be summed up in two words.

Fucking. Stunning.

If you have ever for one second of you life had a passing curiosity about Lex Luthor, you must watch this vid. Then watch it a couple more times, because it is perfection.

Dark Angel

The Hubbert Peak by [livejournal.com profile] musesfool Dark Angel; Max/Alec; adult She moans and bucks up against him, desperate to be tasted, to be fucked, so hot and wet for it, he can pretend it's for him and not just biology fucking them both.

Friday Night Lights

Get Your Freak On by [livejournal.com profile] devilc. NC-17. Tim/Jean [that's girl Landry for those casual fans] fun, flirty, well characterized, and smutty. yay! [why isn't there more smut in the FNL fandom? It perplexes me]

Harry Potter

The Man Who Lived by [livejournal.com profile] chase820 and [livejournal.com profile] mustangsally78 January, 2002. Draco Malfoy is recalled from exile to a magic-starved Great Britain overrun by monsters. His work would be hard enough, even without a dodgy boss and meddling American aurors keeping things stirred up. And if the job doesn't kill him, Draco's new flatmate--a vastly changed Harry Potter--will almost certainly try. But Harry is not the only one who has changed. Some of the best family history fanon and OCs I've come across in the fandom. They're diligently working on Volume 2.

Stargate Atlantis

Hero for a New Age by [livejournal.com profile] smittywing. Gen. Ronon, Rodney, and comic books. Really, seriously, awesome. Long, fun, feelgood read.

Crossover, Stargate Atlantis/Torchwood

A Ring in the Black Sea by [livejournal.com profile] basingstroke NC-17, The Torchwood/SGA crossover is a new favorite of mine. In this one, Teyla selects her baby-daddy. Love the take on Pegasus Galaxy natives.

Torchwood

A Soft Spot for Apocalyptic Fuck-Ups by [livejournal.com profile] julad Immediate aftermath of Cyberwoman, Jack cleans up the mess

Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me by [livejournal.com profile] scribblinlenore R Jack/Ianto Jack and Ianto drink tea together. Past and present. The very distant future. Bring your tissues.

And, Yet by [livejournal.com profile] sam_storyteller PG Ianto/Lisa, Ianto/Tosh, Ianto/Jack, Ianto/Rose. Three ways that things were; three ways that things could have been. Extremely moving.

An Illustrated Life by [livejournal.com profile] overchay Fanart and fanfic. Basically, a slow day at the Torchwood Three hub comprised of notes, memos, instant messages, and other form of textual communication. This is just the first story of, hopefully, many to come.

But One Man Loved The Pilgrim Soul In You by [livejournal.com profile] lannamichaels PG-13 Ianto does not believe in: guilt, god, morality, shame, or letting Jack fuck him on a bed. He sees no reason to pretend to be normal. Excellent character study

Cinephile by [livejournal.com profile] nightanddaze NC-17 Jack/Ianto The dark of the cinema is special for Ianto This takes its cue from 02.10 From Out of the Rain but isn't spoilery at all. Really, I was just captivated by the way Ianto looked like he was going to cream his trousers in the beginning of the episode. *excellent*

Loneliness by [livejournal.com profile] notevery NC-17 Ianto/Tosh, And that’s okay, she knows, pressing the back of her hand to her lips to stifle a moan as he kisses lower, lower – imperfect is okay, as long as it does not mean alone.

Of All Trades by [livejournal.com profile] kita0610 NC-17 Ianto/Tosh, Ianto/Gwen, Ianto/John Hart, Ianto/Owen and of course, Ianto/Jack. Ianto is one his knees I like him there *g*

Restraint by [livejournal.com profile] ninjasnano PG Tosh, Ianto Ianto is good at tying knots; Tosh is good at untying them. Down in the semi-darkness of the Hub's lower levels, with rope and a stopwatch, they practice methods of escape.

Myfanwy's Song by [livejournal.com profile] sister_luke Gen. I'm a sucker for Myfanwy fic, this is beautiful and devastating.

spoilers for make me a supermodel )

Those people who tricked me into watching Supermodel will be amused to find out I'm recording the dance show that's taking its time slot and I am going to be *all* over the show that starts next week: WorkOut. Bravo, you may lead me into turning on my TV more than once a week. Yay?
