Visit with Executrix

I just had the most wonderful weekend with executrix! I am pleased to report that she is just as fun and funny and awesome in real life as she is on lj. We had Memphis barbecue and we watched three excellent movies (Maurice, Drake's Venture, and Swing Kids) and hit the yard sales and antique shops. Exec scored a whole box of yarn for free! She also cooked a Thai meal for us that was to die for and kicked all our asses thoroughly at Scrabble, no surprise there. LOL I had an absolute blast and I hope she did too. :)

M*A*S*H and SPN recs

Pictures by Alison Hawkeye/BJ (This can either be read as slashy or through the lens of friendship and, honestly, I like the way both those options work for this piece) PG This is just lovely. Short, sweet and when it's done you just smile and say, "Yes, yes, of course."

So Much for the Afterglow by Kyra Kullinan Hawkeye-centric gen, PG-13ish, short. Hawk finds it very difficult to deal with life after the war.

SPN

Strike One by 1ightning Sam/Dean Adult This is set immediately after “Folsom Prison Blues” and Sam is finding Dean incredibly annoying, He makes a little list and everything, and then there’s punches thrown and then it gets really, really hot. This is a very fun read.

And so to soldier onward (the 28 days later remix) by winter_baby Sam/Dean Adult I love the structure of this piece; we’re given the end first and what follows are vignettes that count backward to the beginning of the story. I am a sucker for apocafic, yes, I am, and this one really delivers. It’s incredibly chilling and very well told.

Cheat Destiny Just to Be Near by gigantic J2 Adult I love this. Love it. It’s very matter of fact about the infidelity Jared and Jensen are committing; it’s one of those fics that make you revel in what they have with each other and really wish that what they have could be more.

The Death of Jensen Ackles by gilascave J2 Adult This is the second of two parts, with the first part linked at the top of the fic. I’m sure you’ve already read this; it’s been recced to the high heavens and deservedly so. Jensen is allergic to kiwi; after he accidentally eats some, he nearly dies and his relationship with Jared changes as a result. This is a lovely bit of h/c, and really very sweet.

Weapons of Supernatural Excellent resource on the weapons used in the show, complete with pictures and descriptions of each.
