hiatus recs
Okay. I am packed to the nines, I've said goodbye and good luck to the BFF, I have successfully talked myself out of bringing a fourth piar of shoes, and tomorrow we drive to Valdez. Then, after a week, it's on to D.C. for the cousin's wedding, and after THAT, the sunneh beaches of ~Mehico~
I'm pretty sure internet reception will be spotty at best, hence the hiatus sign. But as usual, I like to leave you with things to keep you occupied when I'm away!
Merlin
The Pope, A Singing Nun, and Arthur Walk Into a Library by giselleslash : Ohhhhhh my English Major heart. Ohhhhhhh Merlin's word vomit. OHHHHHH ARTHUR'S OBSESSION WITH POPES.
Texts From Camelot: It all makes scary amounts of sense. o.O
Leverage
I Lie, I Cheat, I Steal (and I just don't get any respect) by fiercelydreamed : I choose to see this as pre-Alec/Parker/Eliot (IT IS YOU CAN'T READ THIS AND TELL ME IT ISN'T.) ALSO it's a crossover with White Collar, and there are some lovely Peter/El/Neal dynamics goin' down as well. Unnnnnf I wish this was real life.
Life in the 21st Century by wishfulaces : Alec/Eliot/Parker, WHY IS THERE NOT MORE? AUGH, THE GEEK IN THIS, I SPEAK IT.
Sherlock BBC
My True Love Sent To Me by wafflestories : I am not telling you a single thing about this fic. I want to see if you figure out what Sherlock is doing before John does. Warning: Do Not Read Any Place You Don't Want To Be Caught Giggling Like A Mad Person.
Two Points by speranza : How much do I love that Speranza is writing in a fandom I enjoy again? Hello, *clutches close* those SGA years were hard after so much lovely due South fic. In which Sherlock is a smart cookie (as per usual) and John is extraordinary (ditto).
Hawaii Five-Oh
Taxpayer Popcorn, Or How to Catch Up in One Easy Step by sheafrotherdon : Steve and Danny get the hotel room before they get the memo. On a stakeout. LOL I just clutched my face and wept fat embarrassed but totally understanding tears for them while they brushed their teeth, ORAL HYGIENE IS IMPORTANT.
Five-Oh TFNL: Isn't it looooooooooooovely.
Textual Analysis by soera : In which Danny and Steve are written about in a book of How To Be A Good Cop Partner, and everything is Hawaii and nothing hurts. <33333
The Progress of a Beating Heart by dogeared : dogeared continually floors me with the ability to pack such a punch into so few words, and here there are actually 1300 words and the impact is still--BAM. This is my head canon for what happens after Steve gets out of prison, no question.
Supernatural
Wishbone by paxlux : It's such a quietly badass fic. I've rewritten this rec three times, and that's the best I can come up with to describe its' awesome. Just. Jukeboxes.
Hitch Your Wagon to a Star by glovered : This could be SUCH EPIC CRACK FIC, and it ISN'T and I LOVE IT. By all rights, the idea of the boys living in a tree house post season 6 should be ridiculous to the point of non-belief, and instead the writer makes me wish so hard I'd been smart enough to think of this on my own.
Informal Meme by drvsilla : They're all in the vein of 5 things, and they're all so wonderful I can't hardly stand it. There are some references to explicit underage, so if that is not your thing, please to skip.
Tangle by mollyamory : After a long, hard salt and burn, Porn happens, with a capital PAH-horn, and it's exhausted and gritty and unfguh yes please.
The Eagle
I've been meaning to make a rec post of stories for this for a while, but here goes.
Marching Orders: Home by frantic_allonsy : It was impulse that made him draw up Esca's manumission papers, and he only thought briefly of how Esca's freedom might affect either of them. I need to get my hands on The Eagle: the book, as of FOUR WEEKS AGO. But I don't think you need to have read the novel to enjoy the fic, unalskdfjalk, definitely not.
A Friend in Need by anon: ignore the crap title, this was AMAZING IN ALL OTHER WAYS. Esca gets hurt, and Marcus helps nurse him back to health and it's ohhhhh lovely, these BOYS.
In Kind by camarthen: Actually, anything at all by camarthen, this writer is GOLDEN. In which, contrary to popular Roman belief, Marcus likes giving blowjobs. alkflsdkfla I love how each time camarthen will explain some of the actual history behind a premise, it makes me feel like I'm ~learning~
Nothing of Greater or Lesser Value by camarthen: Again with the cliches-that-should-be-crap-but-are-actually-aslkdlaksd-amazeballs, here we have Esca and Marcus locked in a cellar together! So they play strip poker pebbles to pass the time. Again with the learning things, and everything was lovely and IC and yeah. &hearts
Ringed With Silver by camarthen: And AGAIN. Roman piercings. JFC.
In The Blood by frackin_sweet : Porn. PORN. It is good.
Bottoming Out by frackin_sweet : Modern Biker AU. I was worried this would be waaaaay over my head in regards to biker/motocross terminology etc, but everything was just right and beautifully world biuilt. And if you want more, which I haven't yet read, there is a whooooooole 'verse,right here.
And now it is really very late/early wtf ever, and I thought I should ask--what sorts of things should we do in DC, bbs? I mean, besides the museums, I'm sure we'll go to plenty of those. Good eats, quirky things? Traditions, something to do with hand signals and Abe Lincoln's statue?
I do not even know, I'm exhausted. Also, can someone tell me once and for all if Chad Michael Murray actually wrote a comic book or if that was something I dreamed.
