"I've lost battles before. Hell, I've lost wars. But I'm still flying."
So, last night was a late night, and I kindasorta forgot to post the podfic of the day here. So, have two shorter podfics today, instead ;-)
AMP 2011: Day 47
Angels in the Architecture, written by rivkat, has one of the more creative end-the-Apocalypse solutions I've read in a Supernatural fic. The fact that it also contains a crossover with Firefly is extra incentive for enjoying the story! Also, you should listen to me reading this story because rivkat is an amazing author, and manages to combine River's psychic sensabilities, Lucfifer-controlled Reavers, and Captain Tightpants as a damsel in distress...into an amazing time-travel romp for the Winchester brother. Angels in the Architecture is serious where it needs to be, with humor a la Joss Whedon where it best fits, and all the angst one comes to expect from the potential End of Days. Plus, Castiel's arrival - and Mal's reaction to it - is fantabulous. Download the mp3 here, and enjoy 20 minute of excellent storytime.
AMP 2011: Day 48
I'd originally had something else planned for posting today, but...last night I saw Fast Five. And then this morning, I went through all my bookmarks and resurected everything FatF I'd ever read (okay, only six or so stories - anyone want to point me in the direction of more? Feel free!), to be re-read as time permits, because, ohmylanta! The pretty men! The pretty cars! The explosions and eyesex! I have been swept away by the pretty, and now I need to revel in all the Dom-and-Brian-are-fucking-in-the-garage fic that I can find. For example: Unfinished Business, which I picked up mid-afternoon today, has completely ensnared my brain. Again.
And so, in the spirit of MUST SHARE ALL THE PRETTY that I came home with last night, I rushed off to pprfaith's fic, Five Ways Vince Didn't Die. I'd seen it posted earlier this week, but held off reading it until I'd seen Fast Five. And, yes - it's about just what it sounds like ;-) This morning, I woke up....brushed my teeth...took a shower....got dressed....ate breakfast (coffee with milk and sugar, string cheese, and a waffle)....and recorded Five Ways... cold. It was just what I needed to kick-start my day: fix-it fic, with LOTS OF PRETTY, and emotionaly gut-wrenching scenes of lots of pretty people and shiny cars! Clocking in at under ten minutes, Five Ways... is the kind of fic that hits the spot after an excellent car-chases-and-exploding-awesome movie. Download the mp3 here!

Okay, so, that's all for tonight!
