I have no art of my own to post today - well, nothing I've got permission to post yet - but I have awesome fanart done for me!!! So, that is infinitely better for everyone.
The uber talented
xnuinx has drawn an original character from one of my fics: Feazle the House Elf from the Harry Potter WIP
Bleeding On the Outside. It's Feazle! With his camera! And it's awesome. Go look either
here on LJ or on
Deviantart here and please squee!
And some fic recs:
I have an amazingly talented flist that I am honoured to know. I should rec more than I do, but here's some stuff that I've read over the past couple of days that is so worth your while having a look at.
Beyond the Mist by
ladywillin Robin Hood PG-13
Will/Allan
Summary: Will reflects on his actions.
This is
ladywillin 's first fic and I honestly can't believe it! It's gorgeous, completely in character, and such a superb read. She HAS to write more *stares pointedly*.
Good Fortune Comes To Those Who Get Their Hands Dirty by
bewarethesmirk (but linked to her archive 'cause she bloomin' well f-locks her fics and gives me a headache *glares at her*)
Harry Potter X (note the rating, folks, this is explicit)
Remus/Hermione
Summary: Remus has avoided romance and sex since the Battle of Hogwarts, up until the time Hermione and he began working together. Remus is oblivious and desperate. Hermione wants to unwind after a long week at work-and perhaps, just perhaps, more.
If you don't know, I love Remus. A beautifully in-character, sprinkled with wonderful details, descent into believable hot sex. Yes, it's a shock - it's het - but I loved it.
The Promise by
oldenuf2nb Harry Potter PG-13
Harry/Draco
Summary: Sometimes you make promises that you hope you never have to keep.
I love Harry/Draco, I love hurt/comfort, and I absolutely adore this. It's incredible - but then
oldenuf2nb is one of the most incredible authors and artists around.
Bone of My Bone, Flesh of My Flesh by
gregoria44 Robin Hood NC-17 for descriptions
Will/King Richard, sort of. A little Allan if you peer close enough
gregoria44 is truly one of the most beautiful writers I know. Her stories make me ache with their imagery and this is no different. It's writing gorgeousness, and I should clearly make more of an effort to learn from her considerable skill.
Bait by
maz_kazama Supernatural AU prob NC-17 for violence (but not slash)
Summary: In a world where the ‘unknown’ is common knowledge and ‘hunters’ are relegated to merely survivors, humanity is dwindling. With human lives traded as currency, John and Sam Winchester find themselves with a new tool for their arsenal - a ‘bait’ named Dean.
I'm addicted to this wonderful fic. It's on chapter twenty-seven and still going... It's AU and dark and angsty and full of hurt/comfort. Superb stuff - and
maz_kazama is an incredible writer!
Rain by
darkentwisted Robin Hood NC-17 explicit slash content
Robin/Much
Summary: What I write on a rainy day. I was in the mood for some Robin/Much slash during a storm last night and this is what happened.
So in-character and lovely and angsty and it made me smile. Go read.
And not on my flist, but this is very worthy of a mention because it made me laugh out loud and is just absolutely bloody funny:
A Legal Matter by
windout Top Gear, Good Omens with vague references to Torchwood
Summary: Fate is a strange thing, or is it all coincidence?
Notes: The prompt was “characters in one of the ‘real’ shows interacting with or being affected by the supernatural characters.” Took it, ran with it, squeezed every little bit of juicy, Vitamin C enriched, drama out into this fic. Also, this takes place after the events of Good Omens.
