Aldis Hodge!
WAIT WAIT HOW DID I FORGET, FIC REC.
Next Man Up, by rhythmsextion (J2 AU, NC-17)
Armed with strength, size and instinctive talent, Jared Padalecki is the first round draft pick for the faltering Dallas Cowboys. Quickly granted a multi-million dollar contract and heralded as the hopeful future franchise quarterback, Jared is thrilled to be a part of the team he grew up idolizing and is all too eager to take the next step in what should be a long and promising career. However, Jared soon realizes he has a much tougher road ahead than anticipated when he meets the prickly Jensen Ackles, the team's veteran QB and Jared's number one competitor for the starting roster spot.
In a league ruled by money, celebrity and ego, where the roster changes week to week and injuries aren't so much a risk as a fact of life, Jared must prove himself capable of leading one of the NFL's most glamorous and controversial teams back to glory. And in the process, must deal with his teammates' potentially career-ending secrets and his own burgeoning, confusing relationship with Ackles.
DON'T BE PUT OFF BY THE FACT THAT IT'S A FOOTBALL FIC. I COMMAND YOU. IT IS THE FIC OF MY SOOOOUL TODAY.

HOW IS THIS SHOW SO SPARKLY. HOW DOES IT DO IT.
Although, the ~Eliot hates child abuse~ subplot was a bit heavy-handed and it kinda made me roll my eyes (and go 'two Eliot-centric episodes in a row?? BAH!' before I remembered that wait I like Eliot, dammit. (But boo he is getting all the emotional depth WHAT ABOUT ALDIS.)) But that aside, OH SHOW SPARKLE HARDER, I DARE YOU *_* Just, Eliot and Hardison having their little bitch fight re who got to wear what shirt. So cute, so cute. I think my Eliot/Hardison/Parker OT3 is becoming less and less sexual and more and more ADORABLE PLATONIC SIBLINGNESS as the show goes on, because. I MEAN REALLY. SO CUTE.
Also, ahahaha "did you just give a guy a nosebleed with the power of your mind?" I am liking Nate a lot more so far this season. (I mean, not that I disliked him last season. I'm not sure I'm physically capable of actually DISLIKING anything on this show.) He is becoming all amoral and criminal-y and yay! But in a weird, fatherly-to-his-criminal-brood kind of way.
Really, I just want them all to live together in a big house and have adventures buying groceries and doing DIY and stuff. Screw the zany heists.
(Not really. Let's keep the zany heists.)
ALSO I really loved that one marshall - Bob, I think his name was? The black dude. He was awesome. I want him and Hardison and Eliot to be BFF for life and send each other Christmas cards and go bowling and stuff. BOB COULD BE THEIR INSIDE MAN. He knows that he should really arrest them all for being illegal and stuff, but dammit they're just too cute.
Also also, Christian Kane is hot with his hair tied back (except for last episode, when it made him look like a twelve-year-old girl.) DAYUM CK.

RL: Woo I've got myself a mild babysitting gig. My aunt's got herself a temping job - which on the one hand yay employment, and on the other boo single mother needs childcare - so I'm going to be looking after my cousin for a couple of days a week until said job is done.
TRUTH BE TOLD, I am rather nervous about it. I love my cousin like whoa, don't get me wrong, but I am actually NOT THAT GREAT WITH KIDS (I want to be D: I love kids, I just SUCK AT THEM) and although I've been looking after her every now and again since she was BORN, it has never been this much. Also, she is nearly hitting puberty and she listens to Lady Gaga and stuff and I just do not know how to deal with it.
I am probably going to end up arguing with her about music all the time. -_- And about Zac Efron.
Again.
