Come to me, original fics! :D
This has been a very long weekend! 8th December is a rather important holiday here, and I and my brothers finally decorated our Christmas tree! It's time for me to feel a little Christmas spirit- which this year will only be related to lights and trees, since I'm definitely broke :((
Why do I always start writing about things I didn't want to talk about? The important news for today is that these past few days [apart from freezing and going to concerts] I did 2 things I hadn't done for a veeeery long time: translating (frayach 's classic, The Price We Pay For Wings - I'm terribly late but she published a sequel, so hopefully my one-year delay will make some sense after all!) and reading thousands of words that literally flew before me despite my latest inability to read things on my pc.
It must be my new chair's fault: it's so damn uncomfortable and I can't find another one. Which brings me a question: what kind of chair do you sit on when reading fics? Do you have one of those expensive plump black office chairs or just a normal, rigid, four-legged chair? As I was saying, despite my horrid chair I managed to stay glued to the screen while reading these original fics:
maculategiraffe 's The Slave Breakers (NC-17) is what I have missed the most since I stopped reading loads of HP slash: a good old slavery fic which is compelling, sexy, romantic and psychologically interesting at the same time. More importantly, it's well written and makes you fall in love with the characters after like 10 lines. I just couldn't put it down, which almost stopped me from leaving a comment! I ended up writing many along the way, 'cause her Bran was so worth it! ♥ You won't find a *detailed* study of slavery here (if you're looking for that you should read jordangrant 's Cambiare Podentes), but the universe created by this author is really rich. Besides she wrote lots of one-shots to be read by the 3 main novels :D
Dr. Noh's Songs You Know By Heart (NC-17) is a lovely story about a man who comes across a mugger after a party. Unfortunately he isn't carrying money with him, so he offers him a blow-job instead. An incredibly fucked-up but also sweet love story ensues!
I shall also rec a BRILLIANT original work that I started reading two weeks ago, M. Chandler's Shadow of the Templar! It's like those 007 movies I have never wanted to watch - only this comes with amazing dialogue, perfect rhythm and two adorable male characters whose flirting is addictive! I doubt you haven't heard of this one, but if you haven't you should definitely give it a try, even if it doesn't look like a genre you might like. The 3 novels are also available on Lulu at a very modest price ♥
