Yay, recommendations!

I don't often get to recommend original work, but I really adored hetrez's fairytale story Outside The Sky Waits Beckoning, Beckoning which is very Le Petit Prince. It's short. Read now, or save it for a gloomy day when you're tired of being a grown-up.

Awesome! Done before 9PM! This deserves some cookies.

Three-quarters of the stuff I bookmarked in my RSS feed this week looks something like this:

... which you might want to consider as fair warning that my brain's still all Trek, all the time, and this rec list will probably reflect that.

(Psst - that photo's from the FaceBook page for Small Town Saturday Night, which seems to be a new CPine movie.)

Non-Trek Stuff
Just one non-Trek rec: in the Merlin fandom, bitter_crimson wrote Clyster Fuck, which you are going to have to read to believe. No, seriously, you won't believe that it can possibly be good when I tell you that it's about Arthur needing Merlin to give him an enema. I know that sounds bizarre and crazy and kind of gross. But. It's. Amazing. The thing Arthur needs is terribly embarrassing to both of them and they're trying to be fine with it and nonchalant and it's not working and they've never touched each other before and Arthur's getting uncomfortably turned on and Merlin's trying to be gentle and just. NNGGH. Wow.

The "Star Trek Has Eaten My Brain" edition. I find ST:TOS fandom significantly more palatable when I can imagine Chris Pine instead of Shatner. Sorry Bill! The mystery left shortly after I read your bio and learned about the scene where Koko the Gorilla had you by the balls.

All I want to do is read more NewTrek fic. Anyone want to suggest people to follow or comms to read?

The quick-and-dirty, four-days-late edition.

Just one Bones rec:
bredalot wrote Spit in My Hand, We're Scully and Mulder: Sometimes he thinks back to his very first case with Bones as his partner and wonders what the hell he was thinking. He watches television, he loved “The X-Files,” why the hell would he compare them to Mulder and Scully? (Booth/Brennan, UST, sweetness)

( Recs: Merlin & Merlin RPS )

And just one SG-1 rec:
sabinelagrande wrote Marie of Romania, where nothing works without Sam. (Carter/Jackson/O'Neill, R)

And lastly one SGA rec:
riani1 wrote Things That Shouldn't Be In A Sock Drawer, about Sasha Obama accidentally ending up on Atlantis. (Yeah. Just repeat to yourself, there is no shame in fandom, and go read it where no one else can see you.)

Part two! Also, I've decided that if I'm only recommending one story from a fandom, I'm not gonna cut. I don't think this will be a controversial formatting decision. :-)

penknife asked for Iron Man Recs, and a whole slew of people responded. I haven't had a chance to go through this sea of riches yet, but the thread is here.

In SPN: RPS land, hkath wrote If You Care To Stay, where an insane time-share arrangement leads Jenson & Jared to fall IN LUFF. Once you get over the inanity of the plot device, it's pretty awesome.

I really love this X-Files recommendation that arrived via crack_van: Sarken's excellent 5 Quirks Dana Scully Noticed About Fox Mulder During Their First Year As Partners. Really awesome and thoughtful and heart-wrenching.

That's it for today! Off to do laundry and figure out some new ways to turn hair metal into bluegrass.

Dudes, I haven't done this in two weeks. Sadly, that doesn't mean it's twice as long as usual.

Aha! not supposed to be at band practice. Good. It would have been hard to use "I was busy pointing people to awesome fanfic" as an excuse. (We're not that kind of band. Yet.)

The thank-god-I-have-heat edition!

Whew! I think I deserve some post-rec-aggregation coffee. Which I can make! because I have power! \O/

All the Secret Santa & Yuletide-y masterlists were revealed over the past few days, and hoo-boy, am I glad school doesn't start until next week. SO MUCH READING.
