I've been waiting for the whole thing to be posted--since I started reading the first part, actually--so I could rec this.

Thursday's Child by strangeandcharm is just a magnificent story. It's Dean/Castiel, 114,000 words, very adult. So I got to wondering: what would have happened if past!Dean hadn’t turned up in 2014, and future!Dean had actually succeeded in killing Lucifer with the Colt? As you can imagine, it starts from a very bleak place, and it takes a long time to get anywhere not loaded with angst. But it's so beautifully done, and the light moments are there enough that you know you're going to make it through to the end. Smart, detailed, with great voices. Do pay attention to the warnings at the beginning--it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Definitely a great story for a long wallow this weekend, if you're looking for one.

Is it spoilery to say that I've found the two most recent episodes totally boring? 'Cause I have.

( Spoilers mostly for previous episodes, but an off-hand remark about tonight's )

I need to get back into the habit of jabbering about Criminal Minds. Maybe after ficathon season is over. *flumps*

I think Kris Allen and Jim Cantiello are incapable of not flirting with each other. It would break the space-time continuum and lead to the end of all we know. (Although, did you hear that Megadeth and Metallica are doing a couple shows together? Might want to be stocking those bunkers now.)




(And yes, I'm using a Tim/Abby icon, because none of my AI icons are adorable enough. *luffs*)

ETA: ( Oh, and have a picture of Tim DeKay and Natalie Morales doing karaoke. <3 )

I got my AI fic sent in. Several hours before deadline, yay! Thank you for everyone who helped me out.

On the bad side of things, I have both cramps and a migraine. My cramps have actually succumbed to the pain killer at the moment, but not the migraine. My head hurt so much earlier I almost fell out of the tub at one point. (Er, while I was showering. I wasn't taking a bath and suddenly do like a fish flop over the rim or something.)

Between the two, I am missing yoga _and_ NCIS. (I forgot it was on until 20 minutes in.) Am kind of watching SYTYCD, though. Non-spoilery comment: I know a lot of people aren't big on them, but Ryan and Ashleigh just being on stage makes me happy. I don't need them to win (it'd probably be bad if they did), but they make my heart happy.

Also making me happy? Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. I seem to like her more with each song I hear, and respect her more with everything I see her do. Don't necessarily get her all the time, but I respect her. And Bad Romance (and the vid) is fuckin' awesome.

...and of course I have to throw Kris in here. I honestly didn't know Christmas songs were supposed to be sexy, but thankfully, he corrected that assumption on my part. *whimper*

Before this gets too late-- Is there anyone out there who can provide a characterization/fact-oopsing beta for an American Idol S8 RPF story? It's for a fic exchange that's due tomorrow at midnight, and I'll have to get it to you sometime late tonight (as in hours from now). I don't need grammar/editing feedback, since I have another miracle worker in the wings.

I don't want to give out too many details here since it's an anonymous exchange, but I will say that it's explicit. If you're interested I'll let you know more, and you can feel free to turn me down.

Thank you!

Now is when y'all tell me to cowboy up.



(I have achieved minimum word count. If only that was all I needed to do...)

I imagine there was a twinkle in his eye when he tweeted this, but it's awesome all the same:

jambajim Bummed that Boys Like Girls' band name is so heteronormative. Some boys like boys. Some girls like girls. Some girls like boys who like boys

<3s


Oh, and if anyone is looking for some super-hot White Collar Peter/Neal (with consenting Elizabeth), A Sure Thing by lightgetsin just melted my brain. "Okay," Peter says, and there's a rasp in his voice. "Repeat after me: theft is not foreplay." 3800 words, so very NC-17, and a very cool caper fic besides. *fans self*




(God, I so need a Krim icon. If anyone's looking to gift me with something... *innocent*)

I haven't actually been reading much Idol lately, for various reasons, but I decided to check out stuff in the newsletter tonight. And OMG, so glad I did.

Sight by sporadic_fic (Kris/Adam, PG-13, 1500 words) is just a fucking cool story. A quick read that will make you go "ooh!". Ever since Burning Man, Adam has been a little bit psychic.

Check it. :D

My profile page is cracking me up, in the good way. Thank you to all that sent me goodies. :) I tried to respond in kind, and did manage to get some out, but I am a very disorganized person when it comes to such things. Virtual virtual cookies to everyone I didn't get to in time. *offers milk or milk substitute* (I actually prefer oj with my chocolate chip cookies. Is that weird? But not to dunk. I am an anti-dunker.)

My Tim DeKay mania has dropped back down to normal obsessive levels--almost entirely due to attempted viewing of Monster Ark. As you might suspect, this was a terrible SciFi movie--about Noah's Ark version 1.0, in which he shipped off an evil monster to somewhere in present day Iraq. It also starred Renee O'Connor. I happen to love both of them, but wow. Some really terrible acting in this movie, and I'm including Tim in that. The man is not a bad actor by any means (seriously, watch Carnivale or Tell Me You Love Me), but between the script and apparently the director, not particularly good. (Oddly enough, the actress who was playing the role that should have been the bimbo character but was oddly awesome was the most natural in the whole damn movie.)

I also watched Big Eden, which made the rounds in fandom a while back. It was pretty much a straight-up slash romance, though apparently seen as groundbreaking as far as gay-movie tropes go. Critics seemed to either love it for that or hate it--some people can't grasp the concept of fantasy at all. Me, I thought it was okay. Loved Tim in it, and I know I was biased, but I was most taken by ( spoilers )


In Idol news, MTV had a look-alike contest, giving away copies of the Kradison Elle shoot signed by the idol of choice. The winners were just announced, and OMG the guy who won for Allison is fantastic.

But I really need to quote the paragraph Jim wrote about the Kris winner: The attention to detail is impressive! You're sporting the unbuttoned plaid shirt, the swoop-necked undershirt, the dirty converse and the tight jeans. Not only that, but there's a piano behind you, which is a nice homage to the other instruments Kris knows how to play. (But no viola?) Extra points for pressing your face right up against the microphone.

Attention to detail? Um, Jim, I think you win on that point. Nice that you caught the tight jeans and the microphone blow-job service. Krim for the win!

...and massively slashy in its awkwardness.

From a review I found of White Collar's pilot, talking about Elizabeth's role on the show: They certainly didn't seem to have much for her to do in the pilot, other than be a catalyst for Peter to realize that Cafferty's talents could be useful outside of his caseload, and in his bedroom.

I think that they didn't really mean to imply that Elizabeth convinced Peter that Neal would be awesome in bed--but then again, with this show, I can't say that with utter certainty.

Everyone has to have a theory, yes? *g*

( Spoilers for 1.07 Free Fall )

My panties have exploded.


I'm sure some of you know of what I speak. *g*

So I am about 3/4 of the way through Carnivale. It's a show that's been on my to-watch list for a long time, but the other day I finally decided I needed more Tim DeKay in my life, so I checked it.

OMG this show is made for me. Made. For. Me. Just, yes. With the supernatural/religious angle and everything else. Only thing missing is some good male/male stuff, but I'm surviving.

Anyway, Carnivale is not the point of this post. Tim DeKay is. Now, I adore Matt Bomer, and he is gorgeous beyond belief, and Bryce was the reason I watched Chuck-- But. I am kind of in heat over Tim DeKay. Enough so I also tracked down this show he did a few years ago on HBO called Tell Me You Love Me. Which was all about three couples in couples therapy, and their sex lives. On the unfortunate side, his storyline was not the one having sex all the time. On the fortunate side, his storyline was actually interesting, so I didn't feel tortured while watching.

I have some caps from both shows.

( These get increasingly NSFW down the page. Not kidding. )

So livejournal wouldn't let me upload pictures of my cats earlier. Dude, what else is the internet for?

Oh, yeah. Porn! Pictures of hot guys!

( Just three--one of Misha being Misha, one of Adam, one of Kris )

So, in this semi-spoilery article there is this not-all-that-specifically-spoilery quote: ( cutting for the very spoiler phobic )

Let me describe to you my reaction in pictographic form. ( Pics )

So. Apparently ABC was pissed off and/or scared by Adam Lambert's performance on the AMAs, so they cancelled his appearance on Good Morning America tomorrow. Needless to say, fans are pissed off.

CBS has picked him up for their morning show. Go, you, CBS!

Also, have ( Kris Allen in a snuggie )

*As in actual gay content, not subtextual.

So due to the massive amounts of Idol awesome this morning (besides the Kradam flirting, there was also Slezak interviewing Kris and MTV completely embarrassing Jim Cantiello with Adam Lambert long-distance), I completely forgot what I was going to talk to y'all about earlier.

V. As in the new series.

It was one of both my and my husband's favorites way back when, so we're trying to watch it together. Which means that we finally got to see the 2nd and 3rd episode last night. I was kind of so-so about the first ep, but I really enjoyed these last two. So yay! But--

Please tell me that there is Jack/Erica fic out there! Or that there is going to be fic. Yeah, I know it's going to squick some people out, but come on, this is fandom. One person's squick is another's kink. And they are soooo pretty and awesome. Well, especially Erica, OMG. Elizabeth Mitchell is definitely kickass.

Hmm. I guess I don't really have anything else to say about it. No, wait! I just now caught that her last name is Burke. Can I make her Peter's sister, please? Or at least cousin. And then we can have a massive White Collar/V crossover of doom and hotness.

Someone get on that now.

( I leave you with two OT3s of awesome )
