Fic meme day 21
First off, a friend of mine who is an artist has an AWESOME design on Qwertee of Ginny Weasley as a seeker. Check it out and vote for her design so it can get printed as a t-shirt:
Vote Ginny!
And now on to 30 Day Meme: The Epic Saga Continues...
Day 21. A fic currently stuck in your head
I'm skipping ahead a little in the meme, but I'll come back to the others, because right now I have a whole fandom -- White Collar -- that jumped up and ate my brain for the last couple of weeks, thanks to
phineasjones. I love the fact that (as Phin pointed out when selling WC to me) El is so wonderful that a large portion of fandom has decided that the only way Peter and Neal can be together is if there's a threesome -- El is just too awesome to be disappeared. I loved the season finale; omg yes to
dira's (spoilery) comment. And my copy of season 1 just arrived, so now I get to catch up on the evolution of their epic love.
So I'm on the quest for the One True White Collar Fic. The recs below combined are approaching my OTFic for this fandom. I <3 them all.
Fic
Give Us This Day by
sinensis
"We're gonna need a bigger bed," Elizabeth says to the room at large.
(Ten things about cohabitation, rocks my socks, 5,208 words)
Figure It Out by
lightgetsin
"And you're my responsibility," Peter added. He said it like the important word there was responsibility, and not my.
(From all three of their different POVs at different points. Love! 22,000 words)
I've Been Cool With the Lines by
misspamela
On a cold, dark, midwinter Thursday morning, Peter didn't show up for work.
(Peter/Neal, El/Peter/Neal implied, 6,000 words)
And Anyone Who's Ever Had a Heart by
liviapenn
Before seeing the picture, she'd just slotted Neal Caffrey in as one more thing Peter's brain couldn't let go of, and amusing yourself while your spouse hunted down the greatest international art thief of the age was certainly classier than being a football widow.
(Lovely scene of how El and Neal meet, which is my new personal canon, 7,265 words)
The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective Con Men by OnYourMark
There are six rules every con should obey. Neal's going to break them all. Starting with his refrigerator.
(A story about Neal putting down roots, 12,156 words)
Vids
Two lovely vids that capture their playful sweetness:
greensilver's Let's Misbehave
china_shop's Handle with Care.
