Recs! Seven Fannish Things That Fill My Heart With Glee <3

[themostepotente]

I am ridiculously behind on everything still. I need to answer fic comments, and I have an awesome Harry/Pansy rec I need to finish writing up. In the meantime, here are some recs <3

1.) [FIC] Sores - Harry/Draco [NC-17] by mijeli.

This is the second hate!sex fic I've read in as many days. I haven't been able to stop thinking about this since I read it yesterday morning, either. I know a lot of people don't like or understand the concept of hate!sex, but I honestly believe that this sort of beginning is how anything further would evolve. Harry/Draco has always and will always be a complex measure of fits and starts for me. The scrabble for purchase is usually what hooks me, what reels me in. That first gesture whether gracious or ungracious. I wouldn't have that any other way. This is so much more than a PWP, too. It's strikes like steel against diamonds ♥

2.) [ART] A Week in the Life of a Happy Sub - Harry/Draco [NWS] by Mystery Artist.

Admittedly, I'm not big on Harry submitting to Draco, but this is undeniably brilliant. It brought a huge smile to my face ♥

3.) [ART] Harry/Draco Art Dump [WS] by 52wk.

Pure joy. And that last picture? asdfjkl;asdfjkl; ♥

4.) [FIC] Pianos are Made for Falling - Arthur/Merlin [NC-17] by fishwrites.

I just started this, but ohWOW. It's beautiful and hurty and honestly, I have no words whatsoever for the degree of awesome. I'm so impressed with the amount of work that went into this. HUUUGE thanks to planejane for turning me on to this ♥

5.) [ART] Northern Sky - Arthur/Merlin [PG-13ish for no-bits nudity] by itzcoatl.

Arthur as an artist. Merlin as the nude model. So much love for this ♥

6.) [VID] 2cellos - Sulic and Hauser - Smooth Criminal

This is aaaaall amanuensis1's fault. I must have watched this at least fifty times between yesterday and today. I have a severe music kink; cellos, violas, violins, Bosendorfer pianos. I can't even deal with how hot these guys are. To say nothing of their playing. And they look like Sam and Dean Winchester ♥

7.) [MUSIC] Abingdon Boys School

For being so hot on anime, I never really cared much about j-rock with the rare exceptions of Gackt and Buck Tick. I adore ABS. Cool tunes, utter adorkableness and a British boarding school look ♥

Enjoy all!

♥ ABS ♥

Yes, I've seen the live version of Dress. Those two make an amazing duet.

I'm so excited I have someone to squee over ABS and Atsushi with. That makes me very happy.

Any other music recs?

Also, icon love ♥

I've been thinking about who to rec for daaaays! I have to rein in my enthusiasm.

You've got one older group, Buck-Tick, so other groups you might like that are like them are l'Arc~en~Ciel (try Kasou or Snow Drop) and Luna Sea (Mother or Ra-se-n).

I love a lot of the younger groups like ABS. I like Alice Nine a lot (Kiss Twice, Kiss Me Deadly or Hana) and 9Goats Black Out (Sink or Den Lille Havfrue) and of course there's always Gackt (freesia ~op.1~ for a nice ballad or else Journey through the Decade for something a little harder).

I'd better stop!

Gackt is a given. Did you see the movie Bunraku? He was pretty brill in that.
