Summer: or, Are we there yet?

[newredshoes]

I have the next two days off work. I imagine very shortly I will go to sleep and work on fending off my impending cold. Tomorrow I hope to grocery shop, clean and write. For now, more links. Because my damn tabs need cleaning out.

sharksdontsleep is a rockstar; her Ray voice is dead fucking on.

I bring to the table Sixteen Days in Steptember, a GenKill AU so elaborate and amazing that you will have 'wait, that's not canon?' whiplash afterward, and How to Survive Accurate Mortar Fire, which is all my favorite things about fanfic and media and excellent presentation in one amazing package.

Those comments are fascinating, but, wow, when will I learn not to glance at the comments?

ETA: Aaargh! PHOTOS! The PHOTOS are fascinating!

I have no idea what mine will be. Probably non-explicit slash, given the fandom I'm working in and the difficulties of securing recreational lubricants in wartime. And also the time periods--Victorian pornography is just so OVERWROUGHT.

And all of the fun homosocial behavior was performative, anyhow--it's not like I can make Holmes any gayer than ACD did in the original, so why even try?

(That said, my alternate idea is a BoB AU, which will in all likelihood be emotional attachment and no sex. Every time I try to write a sex scene, I can sense that Richard Winters disapproves and it's just so awkward that I give up.)
