DE: Fic recs please

[yakalskovich]

Let's keep this very simple: recommend fic or other fanwork (art, vids, filk, anything) about your characters; recommend the tumblrs you follow for your fandom.

Such great timing! I read the most beautiful Jim/Sherlock fic this morning. It's short, and so lush.

Two fanvids I put up in this DE remain my favourite for him. And I just found this one which is great, because it includes the mind-palace obsession from S3 and the one-off special. Ugh, these two.

And I love this gifset for them too, because yeah.

For Les Mis, I will never not rec Toil Until the Old Colours Fade, particularly the Old Man half of the fandom. It is the length of a book, and so worth reading. There's also The Curves of Your Lips Rewrite History, which is almost entirely porn, definitely NSFW and also manages to be the most fun, enjoyable, and smack-you-right-in-the-feels J/VJ fic ever, because watching in-love people pretending not to love each other is always excruciating, and brilliant when they figure it out.

I will probs add more later, but for now I have actual tasks to do. Hateful.

My favorite Jim Kirk filk, by the amazing filk rock band Ookla the Mok:

OK, new fave. This fanvid's stunning for the Jim-Sherlock dynamic.

I believe I've rec'd it before, but this is my favorite Hotspur fic.

[just_cant_lose]

Wow, I love that! I've never read Shakespeare fic before, awesome!

[harryhotspur]

Right?? It sort of cracks me up that it exists... but it does! And some is really good!

While I don't follow it on account of not having a tumblr (I should probably get one), this Digimon Adventure tumblr is really good.

Like, I can just look at the 'Ishida Yamato' tag on it and get loads of character analysis stuff. Like this breakdown of Japanese customs regarding divorce and its effect on Yamato, and this really good analysis of all the events leading up to Yamato's breakdown in the last quarter of 01.

Apart from that, this is a really good fanvid?

I posted this Floki fanvid not too long ago -

Here are more by the same Youtuber, expertly capturing the characters' personalities and relationships with great music (there are some spoilers if you haven't watched the series):

You will be shocked and astonished to know that Harry/Harry hatesex is a happening thing. (Shocked. Astonished.)

What will people think of next.

[just_cant_lose]

Kids today, I don't know. Tut tut.

And I love this gifset for them too, because yeah.

I am not crying it's raining on my face.

Marvel fic: Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail, a canon-divergent thing about Bucky finding Steve and finding himself again.

And fanvid: Problem, because that boy is a goddamn problem :D.

And fanart: the backstory on this one is somehow Steve and Bucky get turned into babies (or split off into babies, it seems to go both ways in other comics in the series) and the rest of the Avengers look after them, so: Baby Steve has a fever and Baby Bucky wants to comfort him. By the same artist, Bucky discovers Funko Pops.

Oh, just have my Steve/Bucky pinboard. You will notice that Steve hugging Bucky is a popular fanart theme.

Sherlock fan art: Sherlock as an animated series--kind of concept art? It's really well done.

And fic: Indecorous--Sherlock/John/Mary and it works and it's amazing, and it's basically my favorite Sherlock fic ever.

Mad Max Fury Road fic: Max of the Blue Place, mid-movie and post-movie, and it's been added to since I read it last. YAY.

INORITE. *dies*

Also, if you want it to rain on your face a bit more I recommend reading this, because ho boy.

[just_cant_lose]

OK, so I just lost almost the entire day to reading Indecorous.. Worth it. \o/
