Fannish things, recs, blah blah
New discussion is up over at classicshorts: this time it's the frequently anthologized John Updike story A & P. As always, any and all are welcome to chime in. :-)
I have stuff from a bunch of fandoms tonight...
Harry Potter
Fic: Sick and Tired of What to Say (No One Listens Anyway) by perpet-fic (Severus/Neville, R, AU-ish)
I read this the other night for my issue of the quibbler_report and was completely sucked in. It's vaguely AU in that it takes the end of DH in a pretty different direction, exploring the emotional aftermath of the battle (rather than, you know, skipping to "all was well" *g*). The author writes a wonderful, wounded Neville and a brilliant Snape, and they're flanked by a lovely supporting cast of Hogwarts teachers. Highly, highly recommended.
Art: First Love by fanlay (Lucius/Severus, NWS, mild bondage)
alsdjfa;lsdkhfa;fdjaldfj There is a lot to appreciate here, and the more I look at it the more I notice the little details -- the curl of Snape's foot, the casual fall of Lucius's hand in Snape's hair, the underwear hanging loosely around Snape's leg. But call me a perv, my eyes go straight to the, er, money shot? *drools helplessly*
Art: Pub Trollop by thanfiction (Hannah Longbottom, G)
Absolutely gorgeous portrait -- Hannah looks so fresh and rosy and healthy.
Art: The 'goodbye' kind of goodbye by reira-21 (Harry/Draco, PG)
Gah, so beautiful and tender. Could stare at this all day.
Queer as Folk
What Can Compare by pendulumchanges (Brian/Justin, unrated)
I recently had the chance to beta this beautifully intimate little ficlet featuring Brian, Justin, and the quiet tapping of the rain. Believe me, it was gorgeous before I ever got my hands on it. :-)
Tennis RPF
There is an anonymous kink meme going on at louiselux's journal! I may or may not have dropped in a few prompts myself (none of which have been written yet, woe). Roger/Rafa is definitely well represented, but there are quite a few less conventional pairings on the table too. Go, prompt, read, write!
Also under the heading of good tennis-related things, there is this fic by my two favorite authors in this fandom, louiselux and emungere: Approach Shot (Roger/Rafa, NC-17). It takes place at Wimbledon in 2003, when Roger is 21 and a little bit selfish, and Rafa is 17 and a little bit star-struck. Holy hotness.
Verbotene Liebe
rhiannonhero has made a really lovely Christian/Oliver vid, Dancing Lessons. It's just the sweetest, happiest thing -- left me with a big smile on my face. :-)
See something you like? Please leave a little appreciation for a hard-working writer, artist or vidder!
