wrong kid died... er, got cut from sytycd. Ryan! :(
Good news: I got my Sporck shirt!
Bad news: it's obscenely tight and see-through.
OK, that was some weaksauce bad news. It's actually kinda hot.
Um, loony_moony and memphis86 did this, and I thought it was a great idea, so:
Big Bang Rec Time!
Four awesome recs for the four days leading up to (gulp) Big Bang posting time. My first one is a no-brainer - I have reread this so very often... and I can hardly keep myself from re-reading it right now:
Title: Honey Flower, Apple and Lime
Author veronamay
Rating/Pairings/Characters/Etc.: J2
The year is 1855. Jensen is the scion of a wealthy Dallas family, heir to a ranching empire that stretches across the American Southwest. Until now, he has led a life of carefree abandon, charming his way into boudoirs and out of entanglements by dint of his silver-tongued wit. After his father's sudden death, Jensen is sent to London by his stepmother to acquire a wife during the Season. Threatened with disinheritance should he make an unsuitable match, he arrives on the doorstep of his friend Welling's household prepared-reluctantly-to do his duty. Everything changes, however, when he lays eyes upon the Wellings' newest footman. Padalecki is tall, strong, intelligent and beautiful-everything Jensen admires in a man. From the moment they meet, Jensen is willing to risk everything to gain the gorgeous Texan's love. But Padalecki wants nothing to do with Jensen ... or does he?
I'm sure you all read this if you were around back then - but it now occurs to me that some of you might not have been! OMG, you guys. This is a whole story about flowers! Well, other stuff happens, too, but the main engine and the heart of the story is flowers. It's so intimate, skillfully paced, and basically a wonderfully unabashed gay historical romance novel in fic form. I really, really need to reread this, come to think of it.
