seperis | recs: star trek: reboot rps

We have achieved:

1.) Turkey and deliciousness. My God, the deliciousness. There was corn souflee.
2.) Completed uploading all QAF and all single-entry-in-LJ Merlin fic to Archive of Our Own, link here for those who have really been hating reading in LJ format.
3.) Bought Adam Lambert's album in deluxe, and I kind of can't work out where this is coming from. Yes, I know,

astolat, but also, seriously, I listened to him during AI and I liked some of it (I love covers that recreate the original song in interesting ways; I have a playlist that's nothing but covers), and the AMAs were--wow, and the video was amazing, but--okay, yeah,

astolat did this. Plus, Whataya Want From Me has been on repeat for about twelve hours now because like I once explained about my dysfunctional relationship with music, only one in ten songs I like and only one in a fuckload more become an obsession that turns into a spiritual journey (fictionally speaking) and hey, this one is it.

I seriously, seriously love this one and For Your Entertainment. They are writing music. They have their own playlist.

Granted, varied with Kelly Clarkson's Already Gone and Daughtry's Life After You and I don't know about anyone else, but I see a pattern here. The only reason David Cook isn't playing is I burned through him writing Merlinfic earlier this year and I haven't recovered from it yet.

I am turkey-enabled and listening to Adam Lambert while re-reading

astolat's AIRPS fic. I mean, I'm sure someone somewhere is having a better Thanksgiving, but I cannot see how. I'm not even wearing pants! (I am wearing pajamas.) In bed! There is pie later!

Random recs from the last forty-eight hours of reading.

House of the Living by

astolat, AIRPS, zombies. No, really. Zombies. And done so beautifully I kind of hurt from reading it. And really, there should be more fic with Adam armed. Yes, my kinks are not your kinks, but Adam is shooting things and--wait, why isn't this your kink? You are weird.

We Are Not Your Friends (We're Here to Eat You), a fusion of AIRPS and True Blood. This should not work and yet it does and does it well.

Bluebird by

basingstoke, Torchwood/Addams Family, Jack/Ianto. Look, I would not steer you wrong. It's everything that Torchwood is in it's craziness and everything that the Addam's Family always has been, no matter how much we didn't know what we were watching before. It's pretty awesome.

Still Life by Jeepers, Star Trek RPS, Zach/Chris. This one is incredibly well written and sharp and sweet by turn. It's one of my favorite re-reads in the fandom.

*settles down with more fic*

Right, a few things.

VividCon

svmadelyn posted here about the Trek and Merlin room parties on Saturday and Sunday nights respectively. There will be flyers with exact times for both, but Trek is tentatively between 9:30 and 10:00 and Merlin on Sunday at a somewhat earlier time.

Completely unofficial badfic reading will be at the usual place at the usual time on Sunday. You know. If we did that sort of thing.

Rec

porntestpilot totally owns me, as she has posted unholy Pinto hotness titled A Modern Prince Charming. Go there now, plz.

All I really need now is cookies to make my life complete, really.

Very quick rec since I'm in the middle of something and should totally not even be reading on the internet but you know, I am. Blah blah blah.

Untitled by

porntestpilot, Star Trek Reboot RPS, Chris/Zach preslashish? The dialogue. God, I forgot how much I love their dialogue.

Go. Now. Be happy. Be very happy.

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!]

[Poll #1435948]

ETA: This might help.

More recs, as it is Sunday and I am lazy. We should have a Porn Sunday Rec meme or something.

Pinto - Zach/Chris (Star Trek Reboot RPS)

Spelling Bee in Your Pants by

antihysteric - English teacher AU. This should not be as awesome, adorable, and very well characterized as this is (can I say that about RPS?). But it is. Okay, so not Sunday Porn, but so much fun.

Papparrazzi by

b_dsaint - life led in the lens of a camera. Or, how they see each other. IT's established relationship, and quiet, and sweet, and kind of totally awesome.

Documentation by

elandrialore - she needs to really write more. Fic with macros! Story-required macros! And so freaking adorable I kind of want to curl up and purr while reading. Which I maybe just did because when I open it, I kind of have to re-read it.

Learn to Fly by

1297 - see, this one was recced to me as The One Where Chris Gets Arrested! And it's so much more. It's kind of misunderstanding and people acting like idiots and then it's happy. I just--flails. This.

This Shaking Keeps Me Steady by

2057 - okay, this is your Sunday porn. Long, hot, talky Sunday porn. Chris is drunk and perhaps less sexually confused than he really thinks he should be. I am good with this.

Merlin - Merlin/Arthur

The Play's The Thing by

shinybug - so there is this potential marriage? And Merlin tries to get him out of it, sort of? And it's kind of insanely cute, and Merlin is not subtle. At all.

Insubordination by

mclachland - Arthur, the uses of power, and Merlin. It's one of my favorite looks into Arthur's head, and I love him this much in love, even if he's not entirely sure that's what this is.

Look For Me Under Your Boot Soles by

glass_icarus - so it's been--*seesaw hand*--a thousand years or so. Arthur finds Merlin. It's how he does it that's pretty nifty.

Midwinter by

aleathiel - First, I love things named after major times of year. I mean, fics called stuff like Eclipse, and Dark of the Moon and like, Voting Day totally do it for me. Please stop laughing now. I just have a thing for it. This however, also wins for being lovely, with midwinter gifts and just. Yes, this. The affection is perfect.

Okay, now what?

I really really really need more to read. I also need an egg mcmuffin, and currently, I'm trying to decide which is more likely to occur. *stares* This is not a transparent hit at

winterlive at all.

It has been a lovely shopping day. By lovely, I mean, I spent far too much. Apparently, I am thrifty and careful up until a saleswoman at Nordstrom's just makes my life perfect by going out and finding every pair of jeans in my size while I wait in the dressing room. This is how I walked out with jeans that fit incredibly well and also perhaps not in my budget like, at all.

*facepalm*

To be fair--seriously, all I had to give was my size and boom, I was inundated with jeans of a hundred types. Here is what I learned on current jean trends.

1.) Skinny jeans are of the devil. I can get them to fit my hips and thighs and they're fine. Then the calf. I do not have unusual calves. It was freaky. Who are these made for? They were longer than my calves and yo, I have long legs. It was like alien!calves jeans. Very strange.

2.) I actually prefer wide or boot cut to straight leg due to above mentioned calf issue. Just. What the hell was up with that?

3.) To avoid this problem, I should avoid places like Nordstrom if I don't want my card to get a lot more exercise than it should. But these jeans. Oh these jeans. These jeans.

Also went to Marshals and bought some t-shirts and a top for work and some more exercise pants, since I have come to the conclusion I am more likely to exercise if I am wearing comfy clothes.

This brings us to Dance Dance Revolution 2.

Wii and the War for a Workout

Wii Fit gets boring. I mean, I love the yoga and whatnot, but I need like, variety to keep in shape, because it's not like my defining characteristic is my lack of an attention span. And Dance Dance Revolution 2 has a workout mode, where you set your calorie or time limit and you just pick dances and dance to them. Each dance is theoretically between six and ten calories and to score high, it does require concentration and it's really a lot of fun, even if I'm still at basic (lowest is beginner). As in, I started working with difficult in training mode and holy God. I don't have that many feet. This makes me deeply suspicious of all those youtubes of that four year old who is hitting DDR2 like the fist of God--did anyone notice if he had an extra leg? No other explanation.

But it is fun, and probably the easiest and fastest way to get me to exercise, though I only like four songs on there, and the one for Grease is just disturbing. Recommended if you really hate exercise. It's a load of fun. Child and I do two player workout daily in thirty minute increments. I have noticed that I don't get exhausted nearly as fast after five days of this. The problem I'm running up against is that I get bad at it because I'm tired, but it's not running me to exhaustion anymore, which argues that I should start running to see if that helps. Mostly I stop when I offend myself with a whole bunch of B scores. AA or nothing.

Pinto Recs!

This is not like, a complete listing. These are four the ones I marked for

niqaeli once upon a time that I remembered in a twenty second period of time and one from today because

leupagus wanted to title the story "And I Feel (Captain) Fine" and that is like the greatest title ever.

So we'll start with that one.

That's Great, It Starts With An Earthquake by

leupagus - oh my heart. Oh Zach and his weakness for out of tune, knows-all-the-words, smart live action karaoke guys. Which you know, is totally understandable--I mean, if Chris is singing in German? I'd learn German, no lie. Anyway. Read this one.

Kink Meme: Fear of Thunder - okay, I can feel the flich. I, too, have been haunted by things on teh kink meme of disturbing specificity and perhaps should not have read them, but this is not one of them. It's hysterical and Chris is resignedly self-aware and kind of adorable, and they get in a closet but not metaphorically or symbolically, so read this, okay?

The Worst of Truths Are Behind Us by

godofwine - oh yes. It's really awkward and unnerving and you know okay, that cute guy you totally wanted to do but he totally intimidated you? This is sort of if you nailed him anyway and then woke up and realized holy shit I totally hit that! And panicked. Seriously. I mean, this has not happened to me like, ever. I felt no connection to Chris' pain.

You Know I Don't Ask for Much followed by Hit the Floor and Work It Out by

winterlive - I have these memorized, okay? Memorized. Mild(ish) D/s, and unholy hot, and three stories and it's--*waves hands*. Read this. It is love. It's insanely hot. Favorites forever! And not jsut saying that to get more! Speaking of, if anyone else wants to join in a group effort to get her to write more, sign-up in comments for shifts in begging. I am not too proud to beg.

Adumbrating by

fortassetu - this one has a neat, easy flow of time and character which I loved. I loved the jogging machine and the running and the easy feelings between teh two of them. And I love this because it makes me smile every damn time.

In closing--jeans! I have jeans that fit! I am happy!

l'essential est invisible pour les yeux by

formerlydf, RPS, Zach/Chris, read right now. Okay, the thing is, the first time I read it, I found it awesome and hysterical, and the second, even funnier but also thinky. I'm on read eight now, because I think I fell in love with a metaphor. It had to happen one day, I suppose.

It was bound to happen.

"Disney stole your heart," Zach repeats, trying to ascertain that he's grasping all this and it's not, say, some very bizarre aural hallucination. "Not your soul?"

It's a very literal metaphor, mind.

Shoo. Read.
