Get No Harder, J2, NC17, 30k words.
This is so incredible. SO INCREDIBLE. I wish I could find better words to describe how *gorgeous* this fic is, other than that the world is immersive, and her Jensen and Jared so real and full of depth, with such amazing growth and development in both the characters and the relationship between them. I just \o/ love this so much. ♥

I need to quit making multiple posts a day. Is becoming a bad habit. :| But this deserves another post ♥

Did a prompt at this meme, which I'm sure many have seen on their flist already:



The next time the boys see Bobby, he gives them a ~suspicious~ package he received addressed to Dean but with no sender listed. Inside, lo and behold, it's the amulet--which Dean isn't exactly thrilled to see. But when it ends up near to Sam, freaky things start to happen. :D Wincest and/or hugs definitely welcome.

Later I decided it was kind of a lame prompt and figured no one was going to do anything about it, but akintay filled it and I am SO HAPPY. ♥ Truly--it turned out to be so sweet and hopeful and heartwarming. She really made something so wonderful out of that prompt. (Thank you again, hon ♥)


And if anyone hasn't read the rest of the comment fic there, OMFG DO IT, NOW. So, so, *so* many wonderful (and occasionally cracky :p ) fills. It's the most I've handflailed at a comment fic meme in a long time.

I handed Death the reins & now he must ride by paxlux, Gen, R, 2252 words, vague spoilers for s6.
About Sam. Absolutely incredible. I will never, ever be capable of writing like this.

For the recent spnland short writing challenge, All's Fair, with the prompt of double cross. I hope they unscreen the entries, because there was one about Sam called Thirty that I want to link to *SO MUCH*. It was so freaking perfect, and exactly *everything* that I feel about 6.01 Sam's motivations. (Take that, random author in a comm I saw who referred to Sam in their fic header as a douchebag.)


Title: Covet
Pairing(s)/Warnings: none
Rating: PG
WC: 586

( Yeah, he'd promised. But Dean had broken promises before, for lesser reasons. )



Title: RIP-TLC
Pairing(s)/Warnings: Dean/Sam
Rating: PG
WC: 465

( Suddenly he felt a lot of sympathy for that friend. )



Title: Do Not Pass Go
Pairing(s)/Warnings: Crack. :p Silly and rather dumb.
Rating: PG
WC: 237
Note: *facepalm* Dear self, way to reuse a title that's already for a decently-known fic in the fandom. Ffffff.

( Dean eyed the battlefield before him, expression serious, focused. )


What I can link to, at least, is keerawa's entry: http://keerawa.livejournal.com/118112.html, Five Deals, Five Days [PG-13] Bela Talbot, 600 words. It's completely brilliant. My default icon's also one of hers, because it is so freaking perfect for October. ♥ (It's October already, wtf wtf wtf \o/ )

A Loft With A View by zuben_eschamali, J2, NC-17 (oh hell yes), 6,138wc
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhot. So, so very hhhhhhhhhhot. *______* This reduces my brain to gibberish and keymash and babbling about how it's so hhhhhholy shit hot. Let's just say I am *extremely* fond of this delicious, delicious fic. And the sweet at the end is just the right cherry on top. 8D Someday maybe I'll learn to write in ways that are this sensual, sensory, vivid, and tactile. Someday, I hope. ♥

One for my reread files, because HELL YES, I'm gonna reread this:

Nobility's True Badge by cherie_morte, J2, NC17, 17,722 words. OMFG SO FUCKING ADORABLE AND CUTE AND SWEET. I am *so* freaking in love with this story, I just was all like "Eeeeeeeeee" the whole way through while reading it. That perfect mix of schmoop, zingy-snarky banter, adorable boys, and just the right touch of light angst. Love the other CW folks in this too, so much. Ohman, I have to go draw hearts on things. ♥ (Okay, yeah, I gush. But jeez, this is so my sorta fic. :< )

*cough* Anyway.

Old weird flash animation nostalgia, part vier:

Japanese Version of Numa Numa (I'm sorry, it's cute, and I still like the song. >_>; )

Still fighting that cold. Isn't getting worse, just is being really, really slow to go away. Life's mostly about sleeping and being really tired. James'd taken a couple days off work and really wanted to go to the zoo, so I did that with he and Mom Tuesday for a few hours, but that kicked my ass hard. Good to get out in the sun a bit though (even if we kept to inside exhibits because it was so hot). But I haven't even done WoW much--even sat out of the raid last night so I could lay down early. Thanks to those that have sent 'get better' wishes. ♥ It's appreciated, truly. I've just been crap at answering my comments again, sorry. :(

Dad and my stepmother stopped over for awhile this morning to talk about my aunt (my dad's sister). This is...kind of the home stretch for her. She's been having another round of chemo (after they'd found how her cancer'd spread back during that surgery she'd had in February), but it's been going really horribly, and she's so incredibly ill and dehydrated. They're having to stop it because her kidneys are failing again. And it's one of those things that there's just no more chemo that can be done. When Dad took my aunt to her oncologist, she was compassionate and definitely is a good doctor, but was bluntly honest about how advanced the cancer is now. Obviously this is really rough for my aunt, and even just talking about it with us, Dad was alternating between being strong and starting to cry. The doctor had said my aunt will be able to see her granddaughter be baptized in early September, but beyond that... I wonder if we'll still have her with us come Christmas. Anyway. She's been a survivor for twelve years now, so she's done fucking well, and that's what really matters.

Followed a link from someone's Twitter, saw this website:

So very striking. I'm particularly fascinated by photo 66, because even though these are just day-in-the-life sort of photos, that one in particular looks like art. It looks like it should be an oil painting.

So time to time I read the webcomic Boxer Hockey, which I've been tempted to link to in the past, but there was one story arc so freaking *weird* (which turned out to be a dream) that I didn't. But this latest story arc just has me all OH HEY HEARTSTRINGS I HAS THEM. Starting here: http://boxerhockey.fireball20xl.com/?id=134 The current strip that's a short animation has me all 'awwww'. Sort of reminds me of me as a kid.

One for the 'everything is about SPN' files:

And leaving this link for myself for rereading, since I'm sure everyone in fandom's read it already:

Mildred: A College AU by causeways and walkawayslowly, J2, NC17, 62K+ words. Most adorable, sweet thing ever. Ever. I am so completely charmed by young, awkward, confused, discovering-himself Jared that it's not even funny. The background characters are delightful (And I think some are OCs, and I *never* like OCs usually).

Anyway, time for lunch, making myself shower, and most likely more sleeping. Wooooo, crazy times.

(P.S. This gif is my happy place: http://pics.livejournal.com/whitereflection/pic/000a8w71 Afdfksdfk.)

Live Free or Twihard by poor_choices, J2, PG13, 6K words

THIS IS THE BEST THING IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE. Proof, from the fic warnings and summary:
Warnings: Crack, fake anon memes, painfully awesome Edward Cullen RP usernames, Twilight, meta, general mockery of fandom, poor_choices, mentions of fake suicide, inconsistent tone, general stupidity. On the bright side, no Chad Michael Murray, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, or Jonas Brothers.

Summary: Jensen is Romeo, Jared is Juliet, Team Edward are the Montagues, Team Jacob are the Capulets, and Aldis Hodge sincerely hopes he is not Mercutio, because he does not want to get shanked.

My brain is still full of lolololol, gleesquee, and ♥. Best crack ever.

In other news, fuuuuuuuck this cold. Seriously. I am still kind of convinced that I don't ever get new colds, the same one just comes back every few months like a skanky ex on a bad sitcom.

Almost forgot to leave this here for myself for later re-reading. ¬_¬

Spectacular, Tentacular. Sam/Dean, NC-17, ~2700 words. Adsfkjsfkfk funny, silly, delightfully wicked, messy, HOT tentacle pr0n. Oh god. Eff you, tentacle kink. (I blame exposure to unfortunate anime back in college, and a wonderful person I used to know in FF7 fandom ^^;;; ) And good gravy, so in-character, too XD; They're so very Sam and Dean in this. I love it to bits. :| ♥

Man, now if only some doujinshi artist would do something with this fic, heh.
