2012 Scrapbook
So moogle62 is doing a scrapbook for 2012 in an attempt for better organization/etc. And- for some strange reason, it never occurred to me how good of an idea this was. So, because I am a total thief and can't come up with awesome ideas by myself, I am borrowing not only her idea, but also her rating system. FAILURE, THY NAME IS HEATHER. Italicized titles = enjoyed muchly, bold titles = love, titles with an asterisk = OBSESSION and titles in brackets are re-watches/re-reads. And lastly, strikethough = DISLIKE. Adding a video game, personal writing, and a fanvid section. Since it takes me months to finish a game, I'm going to include the gameplay time along with which games I've played that month. Only current goal is to read at the very least ten new books this year, and finish at least two of my video games.

(Sherlock BBC; Sherlock/John; R/NC-17; Sherlock texts John all the time. Today’s texts are a little different.)
- Winter's Delights by kate_lear
(Sherlock BBC; Sherlock/John; R; ‘You know you don’t have to come to dinner if you’d rather not. I’ve been told that Christmas dinner with my family can be a bit… much, and so we could skip it and just have a tray in the room. Whatever you prefer.’)

- i practiced falling off buildings and out windows by daisysusan
(TSN; Mark/Chris/Eduardo/Dustin; NC-17; Silence lingers around them for a few minutes, Chris stroking the back of Mark’s head and Dustin slumping towards Eduardo’s shoulder, and then Eduardo speaks. “I used to think about-you know, about this back at Harvard.”)
- The Quintessential First-Timer's Cookbook by antistar_e
(TSN; Eduardo/Dustin/Amy; R; Everyone is a patchwork quilt of the people they love, the people they hate, the opinions they could never quite shake, and the stories they told to other people.)
-Homefront by copperbadge
(The Avengers; Steve/Tony; R; It's not perfect, but then nothing worth having ever is. Steve says sometimes that Tony saved him, and Tony doesn't like that -- it makes him uncomfortable, embarrassed, makes him wonder how long gratitude will reach. But it's not just gratitude, and in time he'll accept that. The secret is, and someday maybe he'll even say it aloud, that Steve saved him too.)
- Cast Thy Bread Upon The Waters by whit_merule
(Supernatural; Dean/Cas/Sam/Gabriel; R; The One In Which Sam Was Secretly Always An Archangel. Four years after stopping the (season 5) Apocalypse, their little family faces perhaps its most serious challenge yet when Sam remembers the angel he was a hundred years ago. Naturally, this involves caramel-and-salt popcorn, not-all-my-other-brothers-are-dicks drinking challenges, and scuba-diving on the Great Barrier Reef.)
-Improbability by ickaimp

Barter System by anon
(Sherlock BBC; Sherlock/John; R; “It means we belong together, to each other, John, that’s what it, what all of it means.” Sherlock tugs on the jumper and makes a gesture than includes all of John. Then his voice turns quiet, almost hurt. “I thought you knew that.” )
March
A Cure for Boredom by
emmagrant01
(Sherlock BBC; Sherlock/John; NC-17; "It seems a shame to exclude your boyfriend. So we won't. Not exactly, anyway." John didn't have time to respond with anything other than a look of shock before she turned him and pushed him backward onto Sherlock's lap once again.)
The Physics of Present Tense by paxlux
(Sherlock BBC; Sherlock/Mycroft; Hard R; “We are an improbable truth,” Mycroft says. Sherlock kisses his brother by the skull on the mantelpiece and says, “But we are a truth.” Their fingers twist together, their wrists brushing their pulses against each other.
Bring Me a Dream by lotherington
(Sherlock BBC; Sandman AU, Sherlock/John; PG-13; ‘Make this work, John,’ he murmurs. ‘Dream me real again.’ He crushes the sand into the corner of John’s eyes and curls around John’s form, on top of the bedcovers, still in suit and coat and shoes. He pauses before taking a breath and kissing the back of John’s neck. ‘Dream me real again,’ Sherlock says. ‘Please, John. Please.’)
Keys for Open Doors by Fossarian
(Supernatural; Dean/Always-a-girl-Castiel; R; "Your body's not a machine," he says mildly, because he's pretty sure Castiel does in fact think of her vessel in terms of what it can do for her, not what she can do for it. "You can't press here, touch there, and get instant results. It's more than that.")
floating in sunbeams (and it's sequels) by zihna
(XMFC/His Dark Materials; Charles/Erik; R; Iskierka leaned into Erik’s hands, and Aliyah into Charles’s, and the two old men waited together, in each place and forever, for someone to come and pull them apart. They smiled, and waited, and the Dust grew.)
-Extremely Hot and Currently Female by copperbadge
(The Avengers; Tony/Loki; R; "You shine so brightly," she said, tugging at his wrists. "That wasn't a lie, I could see you across miles, you don't understand how we see things -- you don't know -- " "And I wouldn't go near you sober," he said, allowing her to pull his hands down. "That's what you thought.")
Fallen Empires by zihna
(The Walking Dead/His Dark Materials; Gen/Canon pairings; R; Glenn sits quietly, cuddling his daemon. “Y’know,” he says, after a while, “I dunno why we used to think you were such an asshole.” Meiri nods, eyes sparkling. “You’re actually kind of… fuzzy.” Cahir barks a laugh and Daryl rolls his eyes, punching Glenn. “Dumbass,” he says.)
Show You What the Howl is For by km_morrison
(Original/Fairytales; Beauty/Beast; R; Legend reduces just as it induces, just as it hyperbolizes, just as it lies. The cypress flower means death and grows on vines; it curls up around Selene's father's castle like a cage until she smells it evermore, until her family has been slain and her fief has revolted, until long past such a time when she could imagine leaving. When the last petal falls, Selene will be free, but the last petal will never fall. The cypress shall outlast her, even if it's the only one.)
human/cyborg relations by kisforkurama
(The Social Network; Mark/Eduardo; R; Mark Zuckerberg is the world's most powerful technopath and the creator of Facebook, the most sophisticated facial recognition program ever created. Eduardo Saverin is the world's most robotic human being and the person who's going to steal Facebook, under Sean Parker's orders. It's a love story, I swear.)
April:
Wilt Though Exchange by twentysomething
(The Avengers; Steve/GS!Toni; R; "The first time Steve meets Toni is about a week after he wakes up.")
Living on Wildfires, and it's sequel, Living on Landmine by gyzym
(Harry Potter; Gen, Albus/Gellert; R; Marauder Era could-have-been, if Ariana had lived and Dumbledore had stuck with Gellert; It is the most important lesson you will ever learn, and the one no one particularly wishes to teach you, so I will say it again: magic is intent.)
Peanut-Butter-Pumpkin Wedding Cake by sparseparsley
(Supernatural; Dean/Castiel; R; Dean is a waiter in a strip club to put his kid brother through school. Castiel is dragged to the club as a part of his sister Anna's bachelorette party. Dean and Cas hit it off, but Dean thinks Cas is the one marrying Anna.)
Not Like Your Gun by fossarian
(Supernatural; Dean/Castiel; R; "Hello," Castiel says, his left arm flopping out in an ill-judged wave. "I Fell." / "Looks like you did," Bobby responds once he's recovered, careful like he's talking to the insane, and Castiel's pride is soothed to hear a tinge of caution in the old man's voice. Shrewd eyes rake his body up and down, pausing on the bruises spotting Castiel's arms, neck and face. "Looks like you fell a few times.")
Until Your Last Heartbeat by azelmaroark
(The Hunger Games; Gen, Cato&Clove; R; The world melts away slowly, piece by piece, but Cato is there and she is not afraid. She can’t live in a world without him, and she never has to. He stays right until the end of her world.)
Our Bodies, Possessed by Light by obstinatrix
(Supernatural; Dean/Castiel; R; Purged of all his souls, Castiel is a changed being, stronger than an angel and too powerful for Jimmy's body to contain. Happily, there's an archangel's vessel on hand, and he could use fixing, too. Dean isn't too happy about the idea of his brother acting as a vessel for Castiel, and Sam can guess why, but it isn't until Castiel gets inside his head and they learn to share the vessel -- and their thoughts -- that Sam realises Cas is as in love with Dean as Dean is with him. It's unfortunate that there's nothing much to be done about it now, but Castiel will get another vessel soon. The Winchesters will make damn sure of that. In the meantime, it's up to the three of them to establish their own strange accord, and Dean realises more fully than ever that it's Castiel, and not his vessel, that he loves.)

leaves are falling (SuperWho, Castiel+The Doctor, 235 words)
It isn't that Middle Earth was the worst of places; just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Neverland and the Hundred Acre Wood-less second star on the right and straight on til' morning and more... five nebulas to the left, a few parallel universes over, and a couple hundred years down various timelines.

April:
and then shall that wicked be revealed (SuperWhoShock, Castiel/Dean + the Doctor, Sam, and various companions, 26k)
Castiel's gone missing, and finding one wayward angel in all of space and time is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack.

Dreaming in Color (Inception, Arthur/Eames, 3041 words)

Remember the Name (Kingdom Hearts, Axel/Roxas/Sora, 2,510 words)
It starts as something he does for Roxas, a memory of a witch breathing back to life because someone remembered her name. He takes his keyblade and as he goes through the worlds, he etches Axel's names there. Works them into the very framework. A jagged word in the hull of Hook's ship, something graceful and careful and looping atop the tower in Twilight, because it's Roxas who holds the keyblade. Roxas at the forefront and Sora watching his own hand tremble as Roxas traces the name there.
Dissentions (Kingdom Hearts, Axel/Roxas, AU Meme Response, 1961 words)
10 Alternate Universes of the Axel/Roxas variety.--- "You were lost," the demon tells him, the green-eyed monster everyone had warned him about when he was a child. Roxas flinches when the monster extends a hand toward him, huddling closer into his corner. He squeezes his eyes closed, only cracking them when the creature makes a wounded noise in the back of its throat. "You don't remember me, do you?" it whispers, voice crackled and ruined.
Reprimand (Naruto, Itachi&Sasuke, AU Meme Response, 992 words)
10 Alternate Universes in the lives of Itachi & Sasuke.--- There are wires beneath his flesh now, the current of electricity a steady hum that he's just barely aware of as his eyes drift open.

"What have you done?"
Total words: 5,453 words
June:
Memento Mori (Kingdom Hearts, Axel/Roxas, Sora, Meme Response, 910 words)

Samsara (Inception, Arthur/Eames, 1244 words)
"A dream den, Mr. Eames? I must say, I'm a bit disappointed."
Meet Jesse Eisenberg (Social Network RPF, Andrew/Jesse, Meet Joe Black fusion, 1135 words)

we are figurines (Avengers/Iron Man, Loki/GS!Toni, 1503 words)

- i practiced falling off buildings and out windows by daisysusan
(TSN; Mark/Chris/Eduardo/Dustin; NC-17; Silence lingers around them for a few minutes, Chris stroking the back of Mark’s head and Dustin slumping towards Eduardo’s shoulder, and then Eduardo speaks. “I used to think about-you know, about this back at Harvard.”)
- The Quintessential First-Timer's Cookbook by antistar_e

-Homefront by copperbadge
(The Avengers; Steve/Tony; R; It's not perfect, but then nothing worth having ever is. Steve says sometimes that Tony saved him, and Tony doesn't like that -- it makes him uncomfortable, embarrassed, makes him wonder how long gratitude will reach. But it's not just gratitude, and in time he'll accept that. The secret is, and someday maybe he'll even say it aloud, that Steve saved him too.)
- Cast Thy Bread Upon The Waters by whit_merule
(Supernatural; Dean/Cas/Sam/Gabriel; R; The One In Which Sam Was Secretly Always An Archangel. Four years after stopping the (season 5) Apocalypse, their little family faces perhaps its most serious challenge yet when Sam remembers the angel he was a hundred years ago.

(Sherlock BBC; Sherlock/John; R; “It means we belong together, to each other, John, that’s what it, what all of it means.” Sherlock tugs on the jumper and makes a gesture than includes all of John. Then his voice turns quiet, almost hurt. “I thought you knew that.” )
March
A Cure for Boredom by
emmagrant01
(Sherlock BBC; Sherlock/John; NC-17; "It seems a shame to exclude your boyfriend. So we won't. Not exactly, anyway." John didn't have time to respond with anything other than a look of shock before she turned him and pushed him backward onto Sherlock's lap once again.)
The Physics of Present Tense by paxlux
(Sherlock BBC; Sherlock/Mycroft; Hard R; “We are an improbable truth,” Mycroft says. Sherlock kisses his brother by the skull on the mantelpiece and says, “But we are a truth.” Their fingers twist together, their wrists brushing their pulses against each other.
Bring Me a Dream by lotherington
(Sherlock BBC; Sandman AU, Sherlock/John; PG-13; ‘Make this work, John,’ he murmurs. ‘Dream me real again.’ He crushes the sand into the corner of John’s eyes and curls around John’s form, on top of the bedcovers, still in suit and coat and shoes. He pauses before taking a breath and kissing the back of John’s neck. ‘Dream me real again,’ Sherlock says. ‘Please, John. Please.’)
Keys for Open Doors by Fossarian
(Supernatural; Dean/Always-a-girl-Castiel; R; "Your body's not a machine," he says mildly, because he's pretty sure Castiel does in fact think of her vessel in terms of what it can do for her, not what she can do for it. "You can't press here, touch there, and get instant results. It's more than that.")
floating in sunbeams (and it's sequels) by zihna
(XMFC/His Dark Materials; Charles/Erik; R; Iskierka leaned into Erik’s hands, and Aliyah into Charles’s, and the two old men waited together, in each place and forever, for someone to come and pull them apart. They smiled, and waited, and the Dust grew.)
-Extremely Hot and Currently Female by copperbadge
(The Avengers; Tony/Loki; R; "You shine so brightly," she said, tugging at his wrists. "That wasn't a lie, I could see you across miles, you don't understand how we see things -- you don't know -- " "And I wouldn't go near you sober," he said, allowing her to pull his hands down. "That's what you thought.")
Fallen Empires by zihna
(The Walking Dead/His Dark Materials; Gen/Canon pairings; R; Glenn sits quietly, cuddling his daemon. “Y’know,” he says, after a while, “I dunno why we used to think you were such an asshole.” Meiri nods, eyes sparkling. “You’re actually kind of… fuzzy.” Cahir barks a laugh and Daryl rolls his eyes, punching Glenn. “Dumbass,” he says.)
Show You What the Howl is For by km_morrison
(Original/Fairytales; Beauty/Beast; R; Legend reduces just as it induces, just as it hyperbolizes, just as it lies. The cypress flower means death and grows on vines; it curls up around Selene's father's castle like a cage until she smells it evermore, until her family has been slain and her fief has revolted, until long past such a time when she could imagine leaving. When the last petal falls, Selene will be free, but the last petal will never fall. The cypress shall outlast her, even if it's the only one.)
human/cyborg relations by kisforkurama
(The Social Network; Mark/Eduardo; R; Mark Zuckerberg is the world's most powerful technopath and the creator of Facebook, the most sophisticated facial recognition program ever created. Eduardo Saverin is the world's most robotic human being and the person who's going to steal Facebook, under Sean Parker's orders. It's a love story, I swear.)
April:
Wilt Though Exchange by twentysomething
(The Avengers; Steve/GS!Toni; R; "The first time Steve meets Toni is about a week after he wakes up.")
Living on Wildfires, and it's sequel, Living on Landmine by gyzym
(Harry Potter; Gen, Albus/Gellert; R; Marauder Era could-have-been, if Ariana had lived and Dumbledore had stuck with Gellert; It is the most important lesson you will ever learn, and the one no one particularly wishes to teach you, so I will say it again: magic is intent.)
Peanut-Butter-Pumpkin Wedding Cake by sparseparsley
(Supernatural; Dean/Castiel; R; Dean is a waiter in a strip club to put his kid brother through school. Castiel is dragged to the club as a part of his sister Anna's bachelorette party. Dean and Cas hit it off, but Dean thinks Cas is the one marrying Anna.)
Not Like Your Gun by fossarian
(Supernatural; Dean/Castiel; R; "Hello," Castiel says, his left arm flopping out in an ill-judged wave. "I Fell." / "Looks like you did," Bobby responds once he's recovered, careful like he's talking to the insane, and Castiel's pride is soothed to hear a tinge of caution in the old man's voice. Shrewd eyes rake his body up and down, pausing on the bruises spotting Castiel's arms, neck and face. "Looks like you fell a few times.")
Until Your Last Heartbeat by azelmaroark
(The Hunger Games; Gen, Cato&Clove; R; The world melts away slowly, piece by piece, but Cato is there and she is not afraid. She can’t live in a world without him, and she never has to. He stays right until the end of her world.)
Our Bodies, Possessed by Light by obstinatrix
(Supernatural; Dean/Castiel; R; Purged of all his souls, Castiel is a changed being, stronger than an angel and too powerful for Jimmy's body to contain. Happily, there's an archangel's vessel on hand, and he could use fixing, too. Dean isn't too happy about the idea of his brother acting as a vessel for Castiel, and Sam can guess why, but it isn't until Castiel gets inside his head and they learn to share the vessel -- and their thoughts -- that Sam realises Cas is as in love with Dean as Dean is with him. It's unfortunate that there's nothing much to be done about it now, but Castiel will get another vessel soon. The Winchesters will make damn sure of that. In the meantime, it's up to the three of them to establish their own strange accord, and Dean realises more fully than ever that it's Castiel, and not his vessel, that he loves.)

Remember the Name (Kingdom Hearts, Axel/Roxas/Sora, 2,510 words)
It starts as something he does for Roxas, a memory of a witch breathing back to life because someone remembered her name. He takes his keyblade and as he goes through the worlds, he etches Axel's names there. Works them into the very framework. A jagged word in the hull of Hook's ship, something graceful and careful and looping atop the tower in Twilight, because it's Roxas who holds the keyblade.

He squeezes his eyes closed, only cracking them when the creature makes a wounded noise in the back of its throat. "You don't remember me, do you?" it whispers, voice crackled and ruined.
Reprimand (Naruto, Itachi&Sasuke, AU Meme Response, 992 words)
10 Alternate Universes in the lives of Itachi & Sasuke.--- There are wires beneath his flesh now, the current of electricity a steady hum that he's just barely aware of as his eyes drift open.

"What have you done?"
