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!

Following your post I started reading Pianos Are Made For Falling, but there seems to be missing words every other paragraph and the author didn't even bother to erase beta comments It drives me crazy, especially since the characters are so well drawn. The most baffling thing for me is that no one in the comment even mentions it. Very peculiar. :/

I must not be that far, because I haven't run into the beta comments. Granted, I haven't had much in the way of reading time. Could you link me, please? I'm curious now.

Well, sorry about that. It looks like most beta comments have been erased since I saved the page. This one is still there in part 4 :

I know the run-on highlights the rush of Merlin's thoughts, and I like it. But I still think you need to break it up to make it more clear and to highlight the sudden shift that Merlin's re-entry into the piece is.

The missing words are still missing though.

And it takes a damn good story to make me want to carry on despite them.

No, no need to apologise. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. That's too bad about the editing, though. It's such a wonderful story so far. I'm glad to hear you're sticking with it ♥
