Punk-Ass Book Jockey

Dudes! How are you? I haven't made a linkspam post in, um, maybe a year, but I am putting off studying for a standardized test that shall not be named, so: tada.

And that's been this edition of Sunday Links & Recs! For fic, mosey over to my Pinboard account. Right now, I am mostly reading and bookmarking BBC Sherlock, with brief forays into The Avengers, Inception, and Merlin.

It's reading week! Or, in more practical terms, "the week in which I spend all my time online". So have some links, courtesy of my academic schedule and the fact that my mitten empire means I don't have to pick up extra bookstore shifts for a while.

mklutz said fandom could persuade her into Sherlock Holmes RPF in an instant. Tragically, it's taken me 23 hours since she said that to come up with a rec list.

I'M SORRY, EM. I WON'T FAIL YOU AGAIN.

Also, I had to read through everything on the sherlockkink comm in order to make this list. It was a horrible burden. I hope y'all appreciate the things I do for you.

IN CONCLUSION:
(If the embed isn't working, you can watch Jude Law read the lyrics to Poker Face here on YouTube.)

[And if you can't see this embed, it's RDJ mouthing the words to Elton John's "I Want Love" (why is he doing that? I don't know), and the vid is here on YouTube.]

AND LASTLY (and outside of the cut, because seriously, none of you want to miss this) -

So, first, in the realm of totally embarrassing and inappropriate Twilight tie-ins, there were these panties [found via Leila at Bookshelves Of Doom], which honestly, were bad enough. (After you click that link, scroll down for extra brain-bleach-needed-ness!)

BUT NOW THERE IS ALSO... DAH DAH DAH... a Twilight-themed dildo.

Um. Obviously, don't click on that link at work. Or watch the accompanying video, in which disembodied hand turns the dil in the light to catch the sparkles.

I only bring you the best internet items, my friends. Only the best.

(Recs forthcoming! And nothing Twilight-related there, I promise.)

ETA: christycorr let me know that there is a whole gallery of disturbing Twilight tie-ins. I made a lot of whimpering noises as I skimmed through. [via io9]

You'd think, given the size of my rec lists recently, that I wasn't spending any time online. Oh ho, that would be, um, not true.

Like last week, since I don't have all that much stuff to tell you about, I'm not cutting.

Due South
You know, I love crack_van. It's entirely responsible for my growing obsession with Due South, and it's provided acres of awesome fanwork recommendations. For example, this week the driver suggested one of Spuffyduds' stories, Wink, which was pretty good, but then when I went to see what else she had written I found Saturday Clothes, which is just the most perfect first-time, Kowalski-voiced story of all time. And which has Ben & Ray wearing nearly-worn-out jeans in a ridiculous attempt to seduce each other! It is happiness in a mountie hat, my friends. Go read it. (Fraser/Kowalski, NC-17, favourite)

Merlin
giandukiss vidded One Foot Boy, which is an Arthur/Merlin vid of utter perfection. Utter.

SG:1
jaxon_knight's story In The Stars was a gorgeous surprise this week. It's an earthside AU, where Daniel gave up on academia after that (pre-canon) disastrous lecture about the pyramids and aliens, and ended up instead in Amsterdam, working as a prostitute, and raising his cousin's kids. Jack finds his way to the Red Light District tailing a suspect, and worlds collide. I know all those elements sound insane together, but I promise that this is a great, great story, plausible, well-plotted and full of achingly beautiful sex. Seriously. Think paian's ease with bodily tenderness -- this is the same feel. (Jack/Daniel, NC-17)

Star Trek
canis_takahari got inspired by Texts From Last Night and wrote Transferral, or Five texts that Jim sent Bones (and one that Bones sent back). (Kirk/McCoy, R)

Supernatural
fledmusic had a moment of mad genius and wrote Twitterpated, where Castiel starts using Twitter, because of the convenience. Delicious, delicious crack.

longsufferingly (also known as chash) wrote Constructive Criticism, where Castiel is dating, um, Sweets. I don't know. It just works, okay? (Bones/SPN crossover, R-ish)

C'est tout for this week!

It was a beautiful fall day today. The only thing that would've made it more seasonally perfect is if there was apple pie and pumpkin beer in my fridge. Maybe tomorrow?

Recs next!

It's been a looooong time since I've posted links & recs, and frankly, the size of my bookmark file is daunting.

So I am going to ignore it!

Instead, I thought today I would recommend people whom you might not be reading right now but whose work you might find awesome.

Basically, I am doing a friending meme all by myself. :-)

I hope this was helpful! I will go back to posting regular links & recs next week, unless my chemistry homework stuns me into blithering incoherency.

Dudes! I am back, and I bring recommended reads of the fanfiction variety! I don't have a million of them this time, because I am trying to scale back the amount of time I spend on the internets, and also because I haven't tackled the Merlin Big Bang offerings yet. But there is still good stuff under the cuts!

Fiction recommendations a-comin'!

The late-night, ate too many carbs at lunch and slept 'till 8PM edition! (On that note, may I suggest, if ever you find yourself at the Drake Hotel in Toronto for brunch on a Sunday, ordering the southern-fried chicken and waffles, with creme fraiche and sour cherries? Dear god in heaven, it was good. And coma-inducing.)

Outside the cut - my favourite new blog is Awful Library Books. You will like it!
