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!

Sulic and Hauser! I discovered them before Christmas via Lim's excellent Underground (http://blip.tv/lim/underground-4838186) vid (Sherlock). I love it so much!

I agree so much. I could never write hatesex, if I didn't believe in it gradually turning into something else, and that's what I was trying to do here. I'm so very glad it worked for you!! Thanks so much for your wonderful, generous rec :) ♥

Thank you for the art recs. :)

I read Pianos are made for falling about a year ago, and it's simply incredible, so beautiful, I cried my eyes out at the end.

I'm so delighted I hooked you onto the 2CELLOS video!

ABS FTW!

You've seen the vid of them and Buck-Tick doing "Dress" live, yes? Nishikawa-chan becomes the most endearing fanboy of Acchan, like, ever!

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. :/
