It's Star Trek, and K/S, and memory, and future, and the many tests of life and destiny, and - above all, at the heart of all adventure and at the heart of all slash - the irresistible charm of POSSIBILITY. It is also one of the best crafted fanvids I've EVER seen ( Read more... )

Oh, fandom. You bring me much joy (and quality distraction when needed) and for that I'll be forever grateful. Here are a few happy-making items I've come across in the last day or two:

Last week, my life was a veritable SPA OF MAN-ON-MAN lovin': I read a delicious book about a gay romance, saw an adorable play about teenage boys in Iowa falling in love, and had the pleasure of meeting two K/S fangirls for lunch and a visit to St. Patrick's for, uh, research purposes (they're writing a priest!Spock AU! we needed to check out the ( Read more... )

Wall by ningengirai - word count 4,421; NC-17 with a warning for rough-ish sex (but OMG SO GOOD, you'll need a cigarette after. Even if you don't smoke ( Read more... )

You know, in other people's LJs. Because it's a terrible show and everybody KNOWS IT, and yet we KEEP WATCHING! Gah, this show... experience... is so much fun I feel a little sick.

No, but seriously. I bet nobody else is complaining that the FotS had apparently stolen Vulcan architecture - and oh, I am ready and willing to THROW DOWN OVER ( Read more... )

Leverage 2x02: ( a very simple reaction... )
