wow, that is a lot of tags

Caught up on SPN today. I suppose I have some things to say but I am apparently godawful at meta (even more so than usual!) when it comes to this show, so I'll content myself with wondering where the hell all the Dean/Bela porn is, because hot dang.

But setissma is having a Baby, it's cold outside drabblefest over at her journal and the current contributions, including my little ficlet in which I cruelly deface a perfectly harmless Russian folk tale, are looking QUITE LONELY, so anyone SPN-inclined should head over there and leave scribbles/icons/randomness of their own.

Now: fic recs! You should realise that I read very little fanfiction; I don't follow any communities, so everything I read is either written or recced by my friends.

# By private_meek -- Like A Swallow, Diving -- Heroes, Nathan/Mohinder

Here's one more body brought back to life, he thinks, one more resurrection. Our season of miracles drags on. Without end.

I could insert a whole thing here about how fucking thrilled I am that Art is writing stuff again, but instead you should just go and read this. I don't really read Heroes fic and I certainly wouldn't have considered this pairing, but the fic is perfectly...balanced. Words and families and hollow spaces.

# By fryadvocate -- Seems Far From Home, Seems Farther From You - Doctor Who/Stargate: Atlantis, Martha Jones in Atlantis

She'd watched Japan die, one foot already on a new continent, her heart miles above the planet.

This is hardly news, but Fry has a real knack for original concepts, and for manipulating the canon evidence until it has reached an angle that is new, and confronting, but absolutely true. This is not a happy fic, but it's a true one, and all of her characters are spot-on.

# By spikeyboots - when colour goes home into the eyes - Harry Potter, Sirius/Regulus

The face beside him belongs to both boy and monster; the youth is cold-hardened in him, sweet oil pressed from a piece of bread, to mouth, to fingers, to paper. The paper absorbs and distorts, fibres melting together and outwards; this boy’s skin is so.

I long ago stopped passing judgement on ANY Harry Potter pairings (although I have retained an inexplicable detestation of almost anything involving Snape) because the fandom can pull jewels out of the weirdest places, and the Black family is such a fucked-up place that Sirius/Regulus is pretty standard as fandom interpolation goes. ANYWAY. This is a dusty and miraculous portrait of a cityscape, and of the complexities of death, memory and surrendered consequence. And the words are beautiful.

Blah blah fandomness. Still totally obsessed with Bones, still drowning happily in OTP, still prepared to tear down mountains with my TEETH if it will get me some good Booth/Brennan fic so that I don't end up writing ridiculously romantic cohabitation fic of my own, because IT WILL HAPPEN, YOU GUYS, and then my carefully-constructed reputation as a writer of shining and ruthless cynicism will be destroyed forever.

Dean/Bela? Pfft- it's all about the Sam/Ruby, baby. *strangely adores Ruby liek whoa*

*follows pretty links* Now I have fic to distract me from painting! Heh.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I...can't stand Ruby. I wish I could. But I can't. It detracts from my enjoyment of any episode she's in :(

[blackboggart.livejournal.com]

*grins* I thought I'd totally hate her, but amazingly I don't.

And with Bela, she is still growing one me. So, hmmm. I am amused by our differing opinions! XD

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

Your Heroes link just goes back to this post :/

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I am experimenting with eternal closed loops Fixed now!

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

OMG BONES.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

LIZZEN. MY JOY OVERFLOWETH. AND YET APPARENTLY THERE IS NO GOOD FIC. WHY, UNIVERSE?

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

WHY UNIVERSE INDEED!??!? It would be so easy to smush them together in fic. C'MON PEOPLES.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Every time I watch a new episode my brain comes up with a new thing that would be excellent in fic! It is not difficult! *pines*

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

WE SHOULD BOTH TRY. A DRABBLE. OR SOMETHINK. CHALLENGE ME!!

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I already have documents with half-started fic in them, but yes, drabbles!

UM. For you...champagne and mortal danger! Go!

DEAN/BELA YES PLEASE. Of course, I liked Dean/Jo too, so I'm just weird. Or, apparently, REALLY want Dean Winchester to get laid more than he already is.

I can't help you with the Booth/Brennan fic, because I've found very little quality stuff. I can tell you that fandom calls the ship "Semperance", which never fails to send me into a blind rage.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I liked the way the Dean/Jo was HANDLED onscreen -- I liked that Jo had feelings and didn't really act on them because of Dean's little-sister vibe, and I liked the way they bounced off each other -- but I didn't ship them per se. But Bela? YES.

I just want to know where my Ruby/War is.
