Multi-fandom Recs! Crossover, FNL, GG, Glee, Iron Man, ST, TVD

Crossover! Friday Night Lights/Gossip Girl

All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade by [livejournal.com profile] lexiesloan Blair/Tim

“Texas?” Her mother’s nose wrinkles in the same manner and Blair has to bite down on her bottom lip to keep from laughing. “But… I thought we were all going to Paris this summer.”

“Mother… I really need something different,” she tries to explain even though she doesn’t know if she can. She isn’t sure that even she fully understands it.

Eleanor stares at her for a moment and Blair holds her breath. “You’re already so different, Blair,” she says, standing up, coming to her and Blair tilts her chin up so their matching dark brown eyes could meet. There is a moment of silence and then Eleanor sighs. “Texas?” She says again and Blair laughs.


Glee

‘Cause You’ve Got An Awfully Long Way To Go by [livejournal.com profile] paperclipbitch Puck/Kurt, Finn/Kurt, PG-13

“Or be banged by Finn, whatever, I don’t know what gets you off,” Puck shrugs, “I mean, you look like you bottom, but-”

“Oh my God,” Kurt says helplessly and it sort of comes out as a whimper. He must still be asleep, this cannot possibly actually be happening. Puck cornering him by his locker and discussing his sexual preferences is just too unlikely and ridiculous, even after all the other weird shit that’s gone down recently.

“Hey,” Puck says, “for all I know you get all animalistic and bossy in bed and that’s cool too, you know, if you want to top the shit out of Finn. I kind of doubt it ‘cause you’re carrying a girl’s purse and also you make that chick in Legally Blonde look manly, but whatever works for you, I guess.”


Iron Man

Concession by [livejournal.com profile] obsession_inc Gen. Incredible what-if fic. Pepper Potts [and Tony Stark] have disappeared and Christine Everhart, Vanity Fair reporter investigates

There are thousands of available pictures of Pepper Potts and she is out of focus in every one of them. Every one features some combination of Tony Stark, weapons manufacturing mogul, foreground; Virginia Potts, personal assistant, background. If it wasn't so infuriating, it would be damn near poetic. Christine resigns herself to having to request Pepper’s employee badge photo from Stark Industries, fighting their (understandably less-than-forthcoming) H.R. department for a picture that will end up looking more than a little bit like a mug shot. Which, under the circumstances, is a tasteless bit of irony that Christine could do without, regardless of her editor's opinion to the contrary.

Star Trek

A Member of the Nightshade Family** [livejournal.com profile] savoytruffle Adult. Mirror!verse. Spock has a plan for dealing with the new captain. McCoy agrees to take one for the team. Kirk hasn’t quite learned the meaning of “too good to be true.”

“I’ll bet he has…” McCoy skims through Kirk’s file, shaking his head as he goes. “So, this…kid fucks a paraplegic a few times and calls him ‘Daddy’ and he gets command of the flagship?”

“Positions in the Empire have been awarded on less logical bases.”

“Ain’t that the truth.”

“It would hardly be in my interest to construct a strategy based on falsehoods,” Spock notes. “And this conversation would proceed more quickly were you to curb your habitual use of redundant human idioms.”

McCoy rolls his eyes. “This conversation would proceed more quickly if you’d stop using three times as many words as you need to make your goddamn point, but you don’t see me holding my breath, now do you?”

Spock raises an eyebrow. “I will assume that question is rhetorical.”


The Vampire Diaries

Buddy Ficlet!! by [livejournal.com profile] rivkat

At least he was here, with her, instead of trying to fend off five werewolves all by himself. Elena wondered if it was something about being over a hundred years old, or at least about not growing up with the macho ideal so many guys her age seemed to obsess over: when Damon looked at a situation that he couldn’t handle, he actually showed some realism.

Well, sometimes.



But It Can Be Won by [livejournal.com profile] silviakundera Stefan/Elena/Damon OT3
The first time Elena Gilbert thinks she fell in love was a wince-bright sunny day. The memory is vivid, stained glass clear:

The grass smells freshly cut and the necklace he fastened is warm from the sun (but she’d thought it was his palms, so large when they’d settled on her shoulders). It singes the front of her throat as she smiles at him. He is so mysterious and new, and she likes that, likes the impossibly perfect way his mouth fits over hers. He said he wanted her to have this.

It's nothing like Matt and his sandbox, stole-your-toys grin. It's like running away from home, convertible top down, the wind in your hair.

He thanks her for pushing him; she’d always wanted to push somebody.

oh, this is it, she hums in her head. this is what I’ve been waiting for.

**

She’s wrong.


The Quick brown Fox by [livejournal.com profile] entangled_now Damon/Alaric NC-17

He's careful not to slice into the skin because Alaric is already a heady combination of sex and rage and guilt, and adding blood to that would be too much like chumming the water.

Damon only has so much self-control after all.


Vid

All the Same to Me by SilverVintage82. Fantabulous Damon character study vid.

Multi-fandom Recs: DA, DCU, GG, Glee, HP,

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.”
