Fic meme days 7, 8, and 9
It's catch-up time on the fic meme!
Day 07. A fic with a wonderful kiss
I was stumped for this one. Because I don't really remember any specific kisses, and although I'm sure there are many spectacular ones out there that are all plotty and character develop-y, for the life of me all I could imagine doing was just trolling through some old favorites to fine a good smooch. When really what I would define as a wonderful kiss would probably involve kissing a frog, some kind of awesome crack. So I gave up on that and just searched for "kiss" in my delicious tags, and lo and behold, there was today's rec, and it is awesome:
This frog is not an ordinary frog - according to the frog itself - and it talks and bounces more than hops and says ridiculous things like, “Spencer, Spencer, kiss me,” and, “I’m magical, okay,” and, “Maybe I’m a super cool unicorn in disguise, huh? Ever think of that?” and also,” If you sing with me, Ryan Ross, I will sing so sweet.”

If that doesn't scratch your itch, take a trip down memory lane and watch Gerard describing kissing Frank (at 1:20), Frank describing kissing Bob, or just plain Frank and Gerard kissing.
Day 08. A fic you plan on reading (old or new)
My bedtime story for tonight comes from
phineasjones's fic meme recs: HP fic I missed 7 years ago and haven't read before that looks awesome, YAY!
It's his last delivery of the night.
Draco doesn't know how long he's been standing out in the snow by the hedges, looking up at the flickering lights and moving shapes inside the house, wondering exactly when that bolt of courage will arrive so he can attend to his humiliation and get out of these fucking wet clothes and boots already.

The runners up. I'm also super excited to read these:
First Time For Everything by
calicokat (Sherlock BBC, Holmes/Watson, 4,200 words)
An Unnecessary Freezing of Water by
shinetheway (Merlin, Arthur/Merlin, 8,205 words)
Red Window Frames by
magog_83 (Merlin modern day AU, Arthur/Merlin, 7,200 words)
Day 09. A fic that makes you happy
Maybe it's because I've been watching a little Eureka again lately, but the first thing I thought of was this very happy-making SGA/Eureka crossover. No worries if you don't know anything about Eureka! All you really need to know is that Jack is an average Joe town sheriff for a wacky super-advanced town full of geniuses.
"Right, because you desperately needed a helipad on a city surrounded by water!"
"--and you promised we could get one if I agreed to move to Freakville with you," the voice finished resolutely. "It's either that or you let me pick up waterskiing."
Nobody answered when Jack knocked on the enormous double-doors, so he walked around the side of the house along the wrap-around porch until he saw two men standing on the back steps, looking disheveled and out of breath, surrounded by boxes marked things like, DANGEROUS and REALLY REALLY DANGEROUS and LEGOS.
