Many, many recs of multifandom awesomeness

[lunabee34]

I feel so disconnected from lj right now. I'm having a really hard time negotiating my time; I need to be working on my dissertation, but I haven't really been able to successfully schedule time for it yet and I don't have the kind of time I want to write fic or read your fic or OMG *call* you guys. And Friday was just a bust; I spent the better part of an hour with a pair of tweezers trying to remove a scrap of paper from a copier. I now can enter a life of crime for I have burned off my fingertips on the innards of a Xerox machine. So, I miss y'all! Hopefully I will adjust soon and get into a routine again.

So, recs.

Meta post on gender in WALL-E by frankincensy
This post was made ages ago and I intended to link to it then, but it has languished in my bookmarks.

Full Tilt Boogie by hansbekhart and essenceofmain; SPN; Sam/Michael/Dean; Adult
This story was written for Big Bang and is rather ambitious. It's about the hunter legacy, how the hunt is learned, and what it means to be the newbie on the block. It's about Sam and Dean and the secrets they keep and it's about introducing another person into that mix. It's also a really cool casefile set in a creepy ass hotel I'd love to see a version of on the show.

Last Stop Chicagoland by phaballa; SPN; RPF; J2; Adult
I don't buy the underlying premise of this Big Bang fic (that Jared and Jensen can live together and have children together without the press knowing), but if I suspend my disbelief on that one score, then this fic is an exquisite portrait of marriage and of the way relationships change and are re-negotiated after children. I love especially that Jared and Jensen aren't always *happy* in this piece. Sometimes married life is boring and tedious or full of resentment; I like that acknowledgemnt.

If it wasn't for you meddling kids by trollprincess; SPN; RPF; J2; Adult
What if superheroes were real? What if most celebrities were superheroes? What if Rosenbaum were the gayest of them all? This is just funny and sweetly sexy.

Urban Legend by executrix; Firefly; Inara/OMC; Adult
One of Exec's strengths is worldbuilding and I love that she makes Inara's backstory a murky web of political intrigues. We know so little about the 'verse and Exec gives it such interesting flesh in this piece.

A lot off topic but.....

Are you any where near Hurricane Gustav? It doesn't look like it according to the news but I'm a little worried for you.

Bless you. :)

I am out of the danger zone but my mom and dad and brother and extended family are not. (Gulfport and Hattiesburg) We also have some friends who have evacuated Slidell, LA who could possibly lose their home.

I am just keeping my fingers crossed for them. The area has still not recovered from Katrina and I don't even want to think about what further devastation laid on top could do to the economy, not the mention the possible loss of life.

It means a lot to me that you are thinking about me and worrying for me.

*smooch*

That's what friends are for silly!

I hope your family and friends are all right. I was watching Mayor Ray Nagin of New Orleans this morning on the news, he seems like a sensible sort telling people to evacuate. Certainly wouldn't want a repeat of Katrina.

I actually taught his nephew a few a semesters ago in Oxford.

I hope people really will leave this time. But you can't make some people do the sensible thing no matter how hard you try.

That's very true. Hopefully anyone staying behind to cause trouble will be dealt with properly.
