I'm absolutely in love with my Yuletide gift: Captain Smith and Pocahontas Had a Very Mad Affair - a Caleb/Peter Petrelli, Near Dark/Heroes crossover.

So much love for this fic. I cannot sing the praises of my Yuletide writer enough. This is the story I've wanted to see ever since Adrian Pasdar, star of my favorite horror flick, was cast in this little show called Heroes. And not only did I finally get that crossover, but it's brilliant. And it's hot and lovely and full of painful things that are left mostly unstated, regarding what keeps Peter traveling with this crazed killer who looks exactly like his brother. My Yuletide writer is amazing. So amazing, in fact, that there is already fanart for it. So much awesome. Read. Comment. Love.

( And leave some love for these people, too: 7 recs for the Terminator movies, Cambridge Latin Course, the Count of Monte Cristo, Animamundi, Egyptian Mythology, Dracula, and True Blood. )

Why this must be read:


I'd like to finish up this month of recs with a personal favourite. Two years ago, tree_and_leaf's brilliant and heart-breaking "What if?" AU, Tell Beauty How She Blasteth, was recced here on crack_van, a retelling of Strong Poison and its aftermath in which Peter fails to save Harriet from hanging. Mithridates, he died old has a similar premise, but opts for an entirely different narrative approach, distilling the story of the successful murderer, Norman Urquhart, into a tiny, exquisite ficlet that is all the more powerful for the economy with which it hints at horrors without lingering on them. I won't provide an extract, because it's so short that to give anything away would risk ruining it, but it's a painfully sharp insight into Urquhart's twisted psyche, and it has a killer of a last line.

Mithridates, he died old

The Frasier reruns I watch before bed have had a somewhat bewildering effect upon me: my general appreciation for the comedy stylings of David Hyde Pierce (I dare anyone to improve upon his delivery of the line, "I learned that if you kiss her too fast, you'll get an ice cream headache.") has blossomed into a full-on Embarrassing Crush.

...he's dapper and he makes me laugh, okay? And that's not even taking into account the whole insouciance factor. I am helpless in the face of an insouciant man! ...*facepalm*

Incidentally, I've seen two episodes recently that have made me think that this show, in its later years, secretly wanted to be an hour-long dramedy. ( This way for ten year old spoilers! )

*~*~*

Last night before work, I finally managed to catch the premiere of Cra$h & Burn. ("Finally" because I'm pretty sure the entire first season has aired already, but since it's a Canadian show on a CanWest network it got no advertising whatsoever, so I had no idea it had started until it was, like, three weeks in, and I wasn't going to start watching in the middle, thank you very much.) This series is on Showcase (the same network that brought you Billable Hours and Rent-A-Goalie, and if you are not Canadian, you have heard of neither of those shows [and if you are Canadian, you've only heard of one of them. Maybe.]); it's about a guy who works for an insurance company and has a Dark Past. Said guy is played by Luke Kirby, who you may recognise as Jack Crew from Slings & Arrows; also in the cast are Rick Roberts (I know him as freckly-babyfaced Donald from Traders and one of the many crazy people on This Is Wonderland; you may have caught him for a nanosecond in the American series LA Doctors), Clark Johnson (Homicide, The Wire, and the best thing about Trojan Horse), and a metric fucktonne of Hey-It's-That-Canadian-Character-Actor!s whose names and phonebook-long credits I don't feel like looking up at the moment.

It's set in Hamilton, and although it's obviously set in Hamilton, they make their setting obvious differently than Power Play did. (Points to C&B, though, for getting the Ti-Cats cheer into the very first episode. I wonder how many Canadian writers have sat around the writing room trying to shoehorn "Oskie-wee-wee" into their scripts?) It's got potential; I don't feel particularly hooked in yet, but there's a nice tension between Kirby's character's laid-back surface and whatever his Traumatic Backstory's got going on underneath, and there's a decent dollop of Canadian Humour, and Roberts's character is gay and actually gets to kiss his partner onscreen, and I think Tricia Helfer's supposed to be a guest star, at some point? So I'll stick with it for now.

I promised myself I would rec only one story per favorite author. It was really tough picking this one out...

Length: approx. 1,800 words (both parts)

Why this must be read:

Prowl/Jazz is one of the major OTPs in TF fandom. They're both black and white! They work together! They're the 2IC and 3IC of Autobot Command! One is an extroverted Special Ops bot, and the other is an introverted tactical bot! It is a match made in slasher heaven.

This one, however, takes the opposite tack. This turns all the OTP tropes on its side, with unbelievably HOT hate!sex as a chaser.

Hidden Sides (set post-TFTM)
Hidden Sides - Exploitative Tactics um... is mutual sort of non-con a warning?

Question: if you had a teeny tiny dog, a Yorkie to be exact and you needed to leave it tied to something while you were someplace that didn't allow dog would you:

a) Tie the dog to the handy tree

b) Tie the dog to the handy iron fence

c) Tie the dog in front of the driveway to an underground parking lot that has a 90 degree turn which means that drivers coming out CANNOT SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING SMALL IN THE WAY.

There is an honest to goodness idiot walking around right now who picked 'c'! I am not a confrontational person but if I was not in such a rush I would have at least stuck around to make sure that I didn't know who this asshole was, I'd like to think that I don't know anyone that dumb.

Onto better things, as always I'm not into traditions but I do like wishing folks well and New Years Eve is a good time to touch base so here goes:


For those of you who are looking for love - I wish it for you in every shape, gender and size you desire.

For those of you who are hoping for children - I wish the stork to deliver bouncing, sweet smelling cherubs to you with easy deliveries.

For those of you looking to change and or find new jobs - may you find the perfect fit for your skills and aspirations which will pay you gobs of money with heaps of vacation time.

For those of you who are sick - speedy recoveries with no repercussions.

For those of you who are feeling blue - happy days right around the corner.

For those of you starting or going back to school - may all the courses you take be taught by interesting professors who challenge you and help you achieve whatever it is you want to do in life.

For everyone - I wish health, happiness and everything you ever wished on a star.

May the road rise to meet you - and may it be made of Nerf so it's soft and spongy.

Fandom: LORD PETER WIMSEY
Pairing: Bunter/Peter
Length: 3,400
Author: atropos_lee
Author Website: atropos_too
Why this must be read:



Today's rec is a "more than" fic par excellence. It's slash – and explicit slash at that, which makes it a rare beast in Wimsey fandom – but it doesn't only subvert canon by imagining an illicit sexual relationship between master and man. Set in 1917, it shows us what happens when Captain Wimsey and Corporal Bunter encounter each other on temporarily neutral ground, away from the inflexible hierarchy of the army and of English society. I know of no other fic that more thoroughly shakes up Sayers' version of Bunter, giving us a complex psychological portrait of a politically aware, defiantly proletarian soldier, violent, hopeless, and yet searching in his own way for beauty and meaning amidst the squalor of war. It's a fascinating glimpse into a new world, told in a literary style very different in tone from most Wimseyfic, but non-slashers venture into it at their own risk.

Footsteps approaching on the gravelled path. A man, alone. Outline of cap and coat through the veil of fog. An officer. He had a few seconds yet to turn aside from the path, into the murk, and pass unseen.

And yet,

An officer, here, on this path, in this area, in the twilight, loitering, as he was, just the way to attract the right kind of attention.

Now he knew what he wanted. The greater risk, gamey, richer in taste, but soft too, once peeled of his armour of class and rank and service pistol...

Before the thought was fully formed, the familiarity of the tubular figure, peculiarity of gait, the flash of a single eye glass, stopped it dead.

Bloody hell. Not just an officer – that sodding officer.

London 1917

This is my final rec. I've really enjoyed reccing this month and I hope I've helped you discover some new fic or rediscover some gems as I have. Here's wishing everyone a wonderful New Year.


Fandom: ENTOURAGE
Pairing: Vince/Eric, Vince/Eric/Sloan, Eric/Sloan, Sloan/Billy
Length: @ 44,000
Author on LJ:justabi
Author Website: http://archiveofourown.org/users/justabi

Why this must be read: The wonderfulness of this fic can't accurately be described with mere words like funny or hot, or heartbreaking. It's certainly all those things and more. It sweeps you up and keeps you dangling breathlessly for the whole ride and makes you love it. It's Vince's story and E's story, but it's also Sloan's story and Billy's story, and Abi makes you invest in all of them. In the interest of complete disclosure, it was written for me in the Entourage fest, but she turned a tiny vague prompt into an amazing product.

At eleven o’clock at night on a Tuesday Vince is standing half-naked in Sloan’s cavernous closet with E, who is looking very nervous and fiddling around with the elastic waistband of his silk boxers like he can’t decide if he might need to add a chastity belt or something, when Vince’s phone rings.


Final Cut

Fandom: ENTOURAGE
Pairing: Vince/Eric, Vince/OMC(briefly)
Length: 9,170 wds
Author on LJ:dancinbutterfly
Author Website:None
Why this must be read:True outsider pov is very rare in the Entourage fandom, and outsider pov done very well is rare period. It's a crossover with Dirt but you don't have to be familiar with the show at all to understand that a tabloid is pretty much the perfect medium to cast a light on Vincent Chase. They are both completely invested and emotionally distant from everything at the same time. And it just works.

“Flakes don’t live with friends they’ve had since they were children,” Lucy counters. “Flakes don’t work their asses off on Oscar-winning movies. Flakes don’t love someone they’ve known for twenty-five years.”

THANKS EVERYONE, FOR A FABULOUS YULETIDE

Trajectories written for hd_holidays.

ETA: Many thanks go to alethialia for finding the LJ launch entry/author notes for me.

I don't know enough about the HP fandom to give the appropriate warnings, but this is an 8th year fic. I've lost the LJ entry that gets you to this page, and I'm too tired to go hunt for it at the moment, but I wanted to memorialize this link before I went to bed.

This story is perfect! I absolutely adore the pacing of this story. There's pieces that made me laugh and pieces that were so sad they made me hurt. And while there is a Harry/Draco romance going on, it's not really the center focus of the story. It's more about how the students of Hogwarts learn to move on after the war.

Wonderfully written. Great length (you can really sink your teeth into it). I can't rec it enough.

Fandom: FOREVER KNIGHT
Pairing: Nick/Janette, Nick/Natalie
Length:  950 words
Author on LJ: pqlaertes

Why this must be read: For Nick, control is something that he is constantly battling with. The limits his control allows are also an issue.  I love how this fic examines the two women in Nick's life, what his limitations allow and where they're not an issue. The strong prose of the author is another highlight of this story.

Split into two posts, one here and one here.

I have been eyeing this cute little houses for a while now. They sit near the mountain resort where my husband works in rural VA. I dropped him off at work this morning so I could have the car for the day, and took the opportunity to snap a few photos. I didn't linger very long because it was bitterly cold, my fingers were aching even through my mittens as I walked around taking pics with the car idling. I'd really like to go back when the weather is better. This is one of the rare locales where I think my two little boys could run around while I take photos, which is what prevents me from photographing many other abandonments I come across.

Anyway, there are three buildings, all of them made of stone. One seems to be some sort of storage building, and the other two are like miniature houses. Here is the storage building, which has a lone chimney next to it.

Length: 15,620 words
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: imajiru fiction

Why this must be read: Stories by this author have an edge that is so inviting to me. "Trio" is one of many, many stories the fandom has that uses the series finale as a new beginning for the characters, in this case LaCroix, Nick and Natalie. All the old character boundaries have been wiped away and in its place is a new reality, free from restrictions. This story is evocative and very hot, but I also appreciate the characterization of LaCroix. He's not the unflinching, overbearing father figure often presented in the series, but a vampire who misses the companionship of his beloved son.

If you visit her FF.Net page, though, you will find that most every Protectobot snippet there is part of the same story-universe. I will bet you a virtual cupcake that, having read one, you will track down the protectobots tag on her LJ from sheer desperation to get moar fic.

The noise was loud, but not unexpected to Sanzo. Someone called Gojyo occasionally stumbled into their shared room when they arrived in a town.

"Idiot," Sanzo thought as he heard someone stagger into another piece of furniture. He said aloud, "You break anything, you’re paying for it, Gojyo."

"It’s not me," Gojyo said from the bed next to Sanzo’s.

The next sound heard was someone collapsing onto the floor.

Sanzo turned on the lights.

Hakkai was passed out on the floor.

Sanzo and Gojyo flew to their friend’s side.

Sanzo touch Hakkai’s forehead.

"Tch! Hakkai has a fever," he spat.

Author on LJ: erisabesu
Author Website: http://erisabesu.com
Why Must This Story Be Read? This is "Tabula Rasa," or as I like the call it, "The Best Fanfic Ever Written OMG." I'm not even kidding. This is a monster of a fanfic--clocking in at around 25,000 words and filling in pretty much all of the adult lives of the characters which canon hints at but doesn't really give us. It is so long because it needs to be this long. The slow building of Hibari's character and his relationships with the other characters in the story depend on this length, a fact which is very fitting of Hibari. Erisabesu stuns, paragraph after paragraph, with not only her ability to craft a tight, engaging, believable plot, but also with her ability write in a way which allows her to disappear entirely into the story. We don't sense the writer writing. The words just are, and they build tension and revelation so naturally. You're going to cry while reading this, but it will be the good kind of cry that fills up your chest and wraps you up in such complete resolution that while you will want to read more of her writing, you won't NEED it for this story. (And, yes, you will want to read more. Go to her website and roll around in all of the lovely, lovely fics. Do it.)

Why Must This Story Be Read? This might as well be canon. It's such a human view of Gokudera, a character who is very easy to exaggerate in fic. He's rude and grumpy and secretive here, but it's all very real and gentle and as you read, these traits serve to deepen your understanding of him--they don't just act as some sort of writer's shorthand. The first-generation Guardians completely steal any scene they are in, and what the author has crafted is such a sweet, sad, quiet story, both the main timeline of the fic and the backstory which it fills in. This piece is so full of invention and delicate interweaving of plots. Just a beautiful read.

Fandoms: LOST
Characters/Pairing: Walt and Shannon
Length: 1260 words
Author on LJ: fic_flail 
Why this must be read: This is a really unique look at something that totally might have been canon. Walt was a great observer at the camp, and his crush on Shannon in this fic is adorable and completely believable. Toestastegood has really nailed the little-boy POV voice, with the random things about romance that a little boy might and might not have gleaned from television or watching adults interact.

Excerpt:
When he asked Shannon why she was folding clothes, she said she was 'anal'. Walt didn't quite understand what she meant by that; he knew it had something to do with your ass, because the guys back at school would always laugh and make jokes about it, and because Bobby Ferguson had once drawn over the word 'annual' and the teacher had yelled at him for about eight hours straight; it had been pretty cool – and he didn't get what that had to do with folding clothes, so he'd just fallen quiet and nodded.


Girls on the Beach

For those who care about such things, The Color of Magic (spelled wrong to conform to the title of the movie) is amazingly faithful to the tone and what I can remember of the plot of Pterry's book.

I last read the book (whose title was spelled correctly in the edition I read) on 5 July 1989, so I may have a detail or two wrong.
