Fangirl Tour for July 8
Hello! I'll be your tour guide today for the (very early) Wednesday morning edition of the Fangirl Tour.
Here's my list that covers a variety of fandoms that include HP, Doctor Who, Batman, House M.D., and Heroes. I hope you'll enjoy these fics, vids, and art as much as I do.
FIC
Fandom: Doctor Who (Rose/Ten)
Title: A Thousand Languages
Author: madlori
Rating: PG-13
Status: Complete
Summary: Rose thought she knew how it would be when it happened, but things are rarely as we imagine them.
Why I fangirl this: A pre-Doomsday "The Doctor and Rose get married" fic. If a relationship between the characters was ever possible, this is the way I would love for it to be. A powerful, bittersweet, and absolutely beautiful fic.
Fandom: House M.D. (House/Cameron, implied House/Wilson)
Title: Alien Tears
Author: atlashrugged
Rating: R
Status: Complete
Summary: Outcasts always mourn.
Why I fangirl this: This remains one of my favorite stories from when I used to follow this fandom. House is portrayed brilliantly with a healthy dose of in-character excuses and self denial.
Fandom: Harry Potter (HG/DM)
Title: Chosen's Trial
Author: gravidy
Rating: R-NC-17
Status: Complete in 8 parts
Summary: A spell is cast that sparks a devastating chain of events. The world is ending, the dead are awakening. And Draco Malfoy is at the center of it all.
Why I fangirl this: I have such a weakness for AU stories where Voldemort wins. Gravidy creates an amazing post-war world that completely pulls you in.
Fandom: Harry Potter (HG/DM)
Title: The Fool, the Emperor, and the Hanged Man
Author: ianthe-waiting
Rating: R-NC-17
Status: Complete in 28 parts
Summary: DH-EWE: Ten years after the fall of the Dark Lord, Hermione Granger leads of life of self-imposed obscurity, that is, until the day Headmistress Minerva McGonagall is murdered and a certain 'hero' is responsible.
Why I fangirl this: Ianthe knows how to write a great thriller. A definite must-read author.
Fandom: Harry Potter (HG/SS)
Title: Damnation of Memory
Author: ianthe-waiting
Rating: NC-17
Status: Complete in 22 parts
Summary: DH-EWE: With every generation, a Dark Wizard rises. Hermione Granger has survived one. However, after nearly thirteen years, a dead man returns to inform her that she must fight again, and this time, Harry Potter will not be the one to save the world from madness.
Why I fangirl this: What can I say? I love her work.
ART
Fandom: Harry Potter
Title: Thestral
Author: wicktone
Rating: G
Why I fangirl this: Very creepy, yet absolutely beautiful.
Fandom: Harry Potter
Title: Don't Call Me Coward!
Author: ac1d6urn
Rating: PG
Why I fangirl this: There is such an intensity about this piece. From the brilliance of the flames to the powerful emotion in Snape's face, it packs quite a punch.
Fandom: Harry Potter (HG/SS)
Title: Under Attack
Author: howlingmojo
Rating: PG
Why I fangirl this: One of my favorite pieces of SS/HG art. This piece has such a great sense of urgency and peril.
Fandom: Harry Potter
Title: Illustrations for "A Fish May Marry A Bird" (Snape/Firenze)
Author: fanlay
Rating: PG-13
Why I fangirl this: I could stare at fanlay's art all day. Her art flows beautifully and there is something delicate and almost vulnerable to her portrayal of the characters.
Fandom: Heroes
Title: The Very Hungry Serial Killer
Author: redscharlach
Rating: G
Why I fangirl this: A fun little piece of art. If this was an actual book, I'd totally buy it.
Fandom: Batman (Joker/Harley)
Title: Mad Love:TDK Joker and Harley
Author: rnlaing @ deviantart
Rating: PG-13
Why I fangirl this: I adore the spin she gives the characters by placing them in the Dark Knight movie universe. Menancing and sexy!
VIDS
Fandom: Doctor Who
Title: When I Ruled the World
Author: di0br
Summary: The Tenth Doctor looks back at the changes in his life since he regenerated, not all of them for the better.
Why I fangirl this: Great editing in this vid, the story flows perfectly with the music. A fantastic look at the changes and similarities between the Ninth and Tenth Doctors.
Fandom: Batman (Joker/Harley)
Title: Black Black Heart
Author: xxtingxx
Summary: Loosely based on the Mad Love comics. A twisted love tale.
Why I fangirl this: This vidder knows how to make the most of the creative use of editing and source material for creating something completely unique.
Here's my list that covers a variety of fandoms that include HP, Doctor Who, Batman, House M.D., and Heroes. I hope you'll enjoy these fics, vids, and art as much as I do.
