I have been reading a lot of really awesome fic lately, to the detriment of my focus on Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth, which is also awesome but involves a lot of people dying but, thus far, no one having scorchingly hot sex on-page. (I'll let you know if that changes.)

Anyway, here, share my screwed up circadian rhythm! Read these things!

OMG, I just read the GK fic off alethialia's rec (which I really didn't mean to do; I had plans tonight, and they didn't involve reading a 55k fic), and it was SO GOOD. SO, SO GOOD. I'm still a little stunned by it, actually. And also still giggling with delight over the last scene. \o/

Last night I read Made and Remade the Necklace of Songs and loved that, too, so clearly the next two days are going to involve these other two fics. Naturally. :)

Yay! Enjoy! And... yeah. I meant to do some other things with my day, and then that GK fic happened. *g*

[pommederis]

*beams* So glad you liked it, dear! Thank you so much for the rec!

[dsudis]

:D :D :D

You're very welcome! Thank you for the story! :)

This comment firmly cements why I am happy to have you on my f-list, because it contains ALL THE THINGS I love.

Just finished To Shame the Devil, currently obsessively listening to the playlist for Slow Dancing in a Burning Room (story! why are you so fucking awesome!?), and have Chosen Man open in a tab just waiting for some quality time.

In conclusion: HEARTS.

In other conclusion: do you have other 00Q recs? I'm getting scared to click on things for fear of ff.net style bullcrap.

The direct link is a bit unwieldy, but if you go to my AO3 bookmarks and search/filter for Skyfall, there are another ten or so--Jagged Little Pill is probably my next-favorite. :)

I was going to ask if I should have seen the Eagle before reading Chosen Man, but you know what? I'm reading it and finding myself accidentally picturing Esca as Brad Colbert and it's just too great to fix...

So, you know, if there's an actual problem with reading that as GK au, let me know, because otherwise :D :D :D

[dsudis]

Well, the height difference goes the other way between Marcus and Esca as opposed to Nate and Brad, but... nah. Carry on. *g*

[tricksterquinn]

Yeah, I kept noticing that, but Esca and Brad seem... awfully similar...

Also, that was the most amazing thing ever. Can I have EIGHTEEN MORE FICS JUST LIKE IT HOMG? Thank you so much for reccing it. I'm not sure it could be a whole lot more YAY for me if it really, really tried. WOW.

[dsudis]

Have you read Passion & Profession? Instead of Esca it has Marcus meeting St. John Rivers (also played by Jamie Bell, which is how that came about), so you get a much more Brad-ish Esca and a distinctly Nate-ish St. John. And a long absorbing narrative about an army officer and a missionary in India. :D
