Well, it's certainly been a while since I posted an actual entry. But I come bearing gifts!
First, an anecdote from today's Spanish class:
Jaro: I just can't understand people who are interested in fashion! And wear all those colours, and makeup!
Z: ..... have you looked directly at me at any time in the last couple of weeks?
Jaro: ... are you saying that maybe you aren't the right audience for that particular rant?
Z: I am, right this second, wearing four-inch-heel boots, an ankle-length linen skirt paired with a silver see-through cowl-neck, my hair is freshly cut, silver and pink, and I'm wearing orange metallic eyeshadow and magenta lipstick. HOW DID YOU GUESS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY?
Jaro: ........ okay. No need to get testy.
Z: I tolerate your lumberjack flannel shirts and acid-wash jeans. Let's just agree to leave that topic alone.
First off, an Inception rec!
Every Atom of my Blood by Anonymous, Arthur/Eames & Mal/Cobb
A lovely, disjointed and slightly disturbing look at Mal's descent into madness, seen through Eames' eyes.
I don't know if you've seen it around yet, but in addition to the marvelous
@inceptionwips, there is now a
@merlinwips, complete with
spreadsheet. You should go check it out, and maybe add things you'd like to be tracked, whether they're on the kinkmeme or not.
In the last couple of days I've been reading Dresden Files fic like a fiend. This was initially triggered by
cobweb_diamond writing a
Dresden Files/His Dark Materials fusion here. It's a WIP, but even if you have an anti-WIP policy you should go read it!
I'm hereby generally pimping the whole fandom. There are a couple of really great new fics happening, and you don't need to know any canon to enjoy them! Hell, Gav is writing fic and she's never read the books!
Dresden Files, All You Really Need to Know But Would Actually Still Survive Without Knowing (SPOILERS AHEAD):
The protagonist is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, a wizard. The books are written in first-person, which is why a lot of the fic is, too. Harry had a difficult teenagerhood and he's carrying around some baggage from that. Also the White Council (sort of the wizarding government, they execute people who turn evil/kill people) aren't his biggest fans. He has a half-brother who's a White Court vampire (an incubus actually), Thomas Raith, only nobody's supposed to know they're related, so when Thomas shacked up with Harry for a bit there were rumours flying around about the two of them.
Harry is currently the Winter Knight of the Winter Sidhe. Read: Queen Mab's bitch. He lives to irritate everyone. He's also extremely tall and wears a duster and lots of silver rings (which are loaded with spells).
The person he likes to irritate the most is John Marcone, aka Gentleman Johnny, aka the mafia don of Chicago. Yeah. Marcone is intense, badass, intensely badass, and all around fantastic OTP material for Harry. Example: he tricked Harry into a soul gaze (wizard thing, happens when you look a wizard in the eye) when they first met. Also has baggage, is very controlled. The words "ice-cold fridge of a soul" and "tiger" will probably pop up in relation to him at some point, it's like Eames' "darling".
In fic Marcone is jealous of Thomas a lot.
Tell me if there's anything ~crucial~ that I've missed.
ANYWAY! Recs:
These are all by the same anon, and I love all of them so much. SO MUCH. They hit me right in my little secret OTP shipper heart.
Gav and I have been making glee-faces at each other on Twitter today about them, YOU SHOULD REALLY READ THEM. LIKE NOW.
1)
Take Two and Call Me in the Morning - Kincaid/Dresden/Marcone, they're stuck in a hotel room, there's strip poker and Harry ends up being the spoils of the game. This threesome works so well with Dresden/Marcone, idek. SO HOT.
2)
Next part of the series, Kincaid/Dresden/Marcone, double penetration. HOT LIKE BURNING, with hilarious and amazing bits of observation, courtesy of Kincaid. IDEK who the fuck Kincaid is, but I love him. MARCONE WANTS TO PUT A FUCKING RING ON IT OKAY. ALSO: "God, Marcone was an intense motherfucker. If he could be the one to personally give Dresden air to breathe, he probably would." sadbfakhgfakhgdflhgkah excuse me, I need a moment.
3)
Part Three, Kincaid/Dresden, Dresden/Marcone, angry sex. AAAAAH. UNF. Hot like burning, still. And then with the flashes of vulnerability! HEARTEYES FOREVER.
4)
KNIFEPLAY, Dresden/Marcone, again: KNIFEPLAY. How is this also so romantic? GOD.
I possibly have some old recs and/or more kinkmeme recs for you later, but for the moment let me direct you to
luciazephyr /
lucia_tanaka's
rec post, because she recs pretty much anything I would want to rec. While you're over there you should check out her recently finished Dresden/Marcone epic,
other things the road to hell is paved with.
Aaaand because I'm nothing if not multifannish, have a Jewnicorn (aka Jesse Eisenberg/Andrew Garfield) rec:
Carry It In My Heart, by
robin_pulaski. Currently also a WIP, but so so worth it. No really, if this doesn't make your heart grow a little in size, then I can't help you.
