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.
