armanyaSo yeah, I've had this idea for a while, to do a weekly(-ish) post reccing the best fic/vids/art/other fannish stuff I've "consumed" during the week. Can be old stuff I re-found, new stuff, whatever. Just stuff I found that I think others should know about! I feel like I should use this journal for something semi-regular, at least! :)
Since I read/watch/whatever in even more fandoms than I'm in and love a jolly mix of pairings, my recs will reflect that. So hopefully there'll be something for everyone!
For this time I will tag fandom and character(s)/pairing and let you click through to fics for other tags/warnings (time contsraints of single toddler parents...) please let me know if that's a major issue and I can put more info in in the future?
STUFF I'VE LOVED THIS WEEK
Fic:
The Prince by astolat [Thor, Loki/Thor]
""So, er," Volstagg said, after several moments of silence. "Is — is — er, he — pretty?"
"He's a frost giant!" Thor shouted.
"Is that a no?" Volstagg asked."
Thor/Loki is totally my current obsession. This was wonderfully humorous and well characterized.
For Tomorrow by astolat [Person of Interest, Harold Finch/John Reese]
"Harold said, softly, without looking at him, "I told you once we'd most likely end up dead." (post 2x10)"
I normally don't read Finch/Reese as a slash pairing but this was so perfectly in character that I really enjoyed it.
Halfway Down The Stairs by sunsetmog [One Direction, Harry Styles/Nick Grimshaw]
"Nick's pregnancy is the result of a one-in-fifteen-thousand gene anomaly, a bottle of Smirnoff Black, a fuck-load of jet lag, and a split condom."
I admit, I have a soft spot for well-done Mpreg. And this was very well done, I love how it all just felt so natural.
Other Side of the Connection by callmecathy [Person of Interest, Harold Finch/John Reese (pre-slash)]
"Silence. And that silence spans out long enough for Reese to realize that his version of silence isn't actually a lack of noise so much as the lack of Finch's voice in his ear."
First POI fic I read after I finished watching all the eps and... it was just everything I wanted to read after watching them!
Collared by VelvetMace [BBC Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson]
"In a world where the British Empire is still strong and slavery is her economic backbone, John has become a terrorist for the abolitionist movement. He is caught by Mycroft, enslaved, and given to Sherlock for training. The goal: To test a new kind of slave collar with the power to break even the strongest willed fighter. One that will make even John learn to love being a slave."
Pretty sure anyone that follows me know of my love for good slave fic. This is good. Dark, psychological, and with a healthy dose of Stockholm syndrome. *Heed the warnings!*
Don't Worry Baby by kalpurna [Teen Wolf, Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski]
"You know you're allowed to ask for vanilla sex, right?" he says, afterwards. "We can do whatever you want. That's kind of the point." Derek doesn't respond.
This was just wonderfully characterized and I really fell for Stiles and Derek in this!
the second time's the charm by estrella30 [One Direction, Harry Styles/Nick Grimshaw]
"After failing to trick Harry during Call or Delete in the morning Nick tries again at night but things don't wind up exactly as Nick planned."
I have no idea why I reread this because my fangirl heart cannot handle it. (It's lovely.)
Vids:
you are lost, you can never go home. by VilyaXxX0llwyna [Avengers, Loki]
As if this song didn't make me cry enough when it was in Lord of the Rings...
'what's a soulmate?' by ilselientje [One Direction, Harry/Louis]
Not even my OTP in the fandom, but this is just a great fanvid that I watch now and then just because.
It Gets Better by InspirationxStrikes [Queer as Folk]
TW for canon-typical language, homophobia and violence.
This is the one fanvid I think everyone should watch no matter if you watch QaF or not. It's just wonderful. I watch it often.
My Sweet Prince by Dazzleme7 [Queer as Folk, Brian Kinney/Justin Taylor]
I don't really read in this fandom. But I watch a lot. And this is one of my favs.
Art:
Don't Go by maXKennedy [Avengers, Loki/Thor]
Uhm... OUCH.
He Who Fights Monsters and The Abyss Gazes Back by alicexz [Person of Interest, John Reese, Harold Finch]
I love these pieces to the point where I'm seriously considering buying prints for my wall.
JACK SPARROW by SAYOMADEIT [Pirates of the Caribbean, Jack Sparrow]
Cute Jack Sparrow? Totally down with this.
Firefly Daycare by Arkham-Insanity [Firefly, Jayne, Wash, Kaylee]
Because my first rec post wasn't gonna be complete without a piece of Firefly fanart. And this is cuuuute.
