new people and art and recs and all sorts of things
Good morning, internet. For a loose definition of "good" anyway. I had kind of wanted to spend my last three days of unemployment asleep, but life had other plans, so once again I'm awake way earlier than I'd like for way longer than I'd like on way less sleep than I'd like. (Today those numbers are 9:30 am, three and a half hours, and three hours.)
Anyway.
ALL THAT ASIDE, there are a lot of new people around these parts. Hi new people! My name is Kait. I like dinosaurs and pencil skirts and gin. And mutants, I guess. If you want to know anything else, feel free to ask! (That goes for people who've been around for forever, too.)
I am @fourteenacross on Twitter and feel free to follow. I tweet A LOT, mostly boring things about my day and funny conversations I have with mcwonthelottery.
I updated my userinfo and my interests and my masterlist, so we're going to play this talking about my hilarious inside jokes ~*getting to know you*~ meme!
Comment with one of the interests from my userinfo (or two, or three) and I will talk about/rant about/explain that interest!
It will be fun times!

So, last night, as I was beginning to go delirious from lack of sleep, THE COOLEST THING EVER HAPPENED. Someone commented on No Yesterdays on the Road WITH FUCKING FANART THEY HAD DRAWN ABOUT MY STUPID THING.
I may have freaked out on Twitter, alone, because all of you assholes were already asleep. Damn my nocturnal habits! BUT IT IS PRETTY FRIGGING AMAZING, OKAY? I can only think of one other time that someone has fanarted something for me of their own volition and it was like, over ten years ago, in Rent fandom. THIS IS THE COOLEST.
Anyway, it's the hug near the end of the story, when Moira and Erik are taking Charles back to the mansion. Here's the text (it's not a spoiler that Charles is alive and everything is okay, all right? This is ME. It was only ever going to have a happy ending.):
He takes his hand back and hesitates a moment, but takes two steps forward and tentatively puts his arms around Erik. Erik feels his heart squeeze, but he's too exhausted to pretend he doesn't want the contact and hugs Charles back without hesitation. The rage slowly starts to drain out of him and for a moment, Charles' embrace is all that's keeping him from crumbling to the floor.
And here's the picture!
I'm not sure what the policy with DeviantArt and hotlinking is so... here's the actualfax URL. The drawing is by starkmad over there and I am just... handsing all over the place. YOU GUYS DON'T EVEN KNOW. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

For those of you interested in Supernatural, I have a rec! I betaed an awesome, sad, sort-of-creepy story for cold_feets and she posted it yesterday! She's been working on it for like, a million years (or so it feels like) and I think you should all go read it immediately!
but we keep knitting together (strangely, inevitably) by cold_feets - supernatural - dean+castiel, dean/castiel - au(ish), pg13
The conceit of the story is that canon!Dean gets pulled into an AU wherein the vashta nerada from Doctor Who are slowly destroying the world. He has to spend an awkward night with that universe's Bobby, Sam, and Cas while trying to get back to his own, made all the more awkward when he realizes the relationship between that Cas and Dean is very different from the one he's used to.
I don't know super a lot about Supernatural, but I know that it's a great story and you should read it and comment.

OKAY. Later, I'm going to make a post about Dragon*Con and now I'm going to go take a shower and then pack myself up to go to Panera because I have a half-inch thick stack of employment papers to fill out and there's an April Smith concert tonight, so I've gotta get that shit done.
HAVE A GOOD MORNING, INTERNET.
