more recs, yes, I know, but this is how I reward myself!

[seperis]

Recs! Yes, I know, but I am rewarding myself for twenty pages of editing, so I am allowed to procrastinate and rave about awesome fic.

I'm trying not to theme by author, since in general, if I like one story by an author, it's fair to say I'll like everything by them, so probably only one story by an author per rec set.

Star Trek Reboot RPS - Zach/Chris

Mancrush by withthepilot - my love for this is pure and giggly and awesome. Also, she totally had me at the title.

Hang Me Up to Dry by 1297 - this is delicious, delicious, delicious porn with a taste for exhibitionism. Yes, I know, I love this fandom. And this author, for that matter.

Take Me Out by winterlive - Zach/Chris/Zoe, Zach/Chris - this was a very clever plan. I love threesomes with bisexual epiphanies, and this one is smoking. I also love winterlive and am trying to set up a cult in her honor. Apply in comments for junior priestess positions, plz.

Inhabiting by gigantic - bar none, this is one of my favorite stories. It's slow and meandering and builds a relationship from the ground up and seamlessly translates to romance until it feels there's no other way this ever could have gone. It's even better in re-read.

It's a Bright Day (Even If You Stand in the Dark) by xsunnydayx - This is another in the re-read regularly category. I'm trying to think of a way to get across how pretty this one is, but just, you know, go for it.

Poll, As I Am Bored

Okay, so. Because I like to please, and also, because I can't think of what to do next, pick two fandoms you'd like to see me rec from and if I have stories from them, I'll do a rec post on the two most checked.

[Note; I haven't updated my rec page in like, a year, so believe it or not, I have like, five hundred unsorted recs, some not even marked yet. This is getting intimidating. This will help me hunt them down!]

ETA: This might help.

I love the icon. It's one of the_muppet's.

I'd love awkward, slightly clumsy Vulcans although I would think Spock would be most unimpressed by one. :P

Well, I don't mean incompetent - just very good in one area, and thus not really paying attention to other things like... doors, cups of tea, other people walking around.

I can sort of imagine Spock being really unimpressed at first, and then after seeing how Merlin handles himeself in a pinch, I think he'd find him kind of interesting - in a totally annoying way.

Of course, the names would have to be changed.

Arthur: Ensign M'Lin? *looking around waiting room*

M'lin: Here, Lieutenant. *stands, almost falls over chair while being completely distracted by the telepathic hum in the room*

Arthur: *Looking puzzled and vaguely disappointed* Huh, I thought M'lin was a woman's name.

M'Lin: *tips of ears turning dark green, but otherwise completely placid* "Yes, it does bear a superficial resemblance to naming conventions normally associated with female Vulcans, however in this case, it is an old family name harking back to our cultural roots in the mountains of the southern sub-continent."

Arther:*grins* "So you were teased mercilessly about this in school, weren't you?"

M'Lin:*eyes narrowing fractionally, but voice remaining smooth* "Only for the first ten years."

LOL. Very cute! I could so see this! You should expand it. :DDD

[cjandre.livejournal.com]

Hee - it would be fun, wouldn't it?

I'll have to work on a story to go with it.

:-D
