Yet more yuletide recs and FREE MUSIC OMG.
More Reasons why Yuletide is the greatest thing since toast.
It has SLAM DUNK FICS.
Ad Vitam by Yasmin
Rating: G
Pairing: Sakuragi/Maki if you squinted through a magnifying glass.
Summary: Sakuragi had a knack of meeting the right people at the right time.
Why: Concise, brilliantly in character and sealed with the approval of pure love for the sport. Few fics capture that from the canon, yet this, inexplicably does.

Pairing: Sendoh/Sakuragi
Summary: There's no accounting for taste.
Why: How to court a oblivious basketball player using devious and lazy methods as told by Sendoh, master of dry wit and expert in hiding secret perversions no one should find out about unless Sendoh feels they have to know just to see how their expression changes when their brain breaks (namely Fukuda's). I love this.

Pairing: Kogure/Sakuragi
Summary: Not everything is immediate.
Why: There's something so nice about slow fics which are so quiet and sweet about relationships, and the tone of this suits Kogure completely. I believe Kogure is the secret seme of that ENTIRE basketball team, frankly. Sure, the others are stronger, tougher, taller and more powerful, but Kogure is the type to whittle them down with the uncounterable logic of his reason. Fufufufu.
LOOK. Yuletide also has EYESHIELD 21 FICS!!!
And new Velvet Goldmine fics!

Pairing: Curt/Arthur
Summary: What happened after.
Why: Because there is never enough VG fics in the world.
Even fandoms no one but me has gotten into, like Princess Princess, where 3 boys in an all male-school are forced to dress up as girls to make the rest of the male population feel better about their unfortunate co-ed-less situation. And the moral of THAT show was that those very boys realising that HEY DRESSING UP AS GIRLS ISN'T THAT BAD. *mists* I'm amazed someone wrote fic for it. And glad.

Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Yuujirou/Tooru aka the blonde and the blue haired pretty boys.
Summary: Yuujirou has some convincing to do.
Why: The boy in the dress realises that he might possibly be attracted to another boy in a dress. There are few things more wonderful in this world.
FFSHRINE is an EXCELLENT resource in all things music (and manga, and other things I don't really have the bandwidth for). All direct download, virus free (so far), NO WAITING, no joining. The ONLY minor annoyance is downloading each track one by one for albums, but in other cases, this is a positive since it allows you to pick and choose which songs you like, and omit the ones you already have. AND. ANNNND. For singles, they have KARAOKE VERSIONS. How is this site so awesome?
I highly recommend snagging All The Asian Kung-fu Generation soundtracks as they are an awesome band and their music is great across the board no matter what track you take.
The Disney Eurobeat DDR mix. Your favourite disney songs, tranced up and perfect for parapara dancing. Oh yeah. And More DDR MUSIC than you can poke a stick at. Suffice to say I am now so hyped up I can't SIT. STILL.
I ♥ happy music like DDR music. Makes me want to bop when I walk on the streets.
