This vid is fantastic. Like squee in your pants fantastic. It's hot and sweet and sexy and a little bit raw just like Starbuck and Aeryn. I think the thing I like about it most are the alternating shots of Starbuck and Aeryn making the same gestures, the same movements. Really nice. Excellent song too. It's by Joan Osbourne and while I've always enjoyed "What if God Were One of Us?" I had never listened to any of her other music. This song surprised me. It doesn't sound like that at all.

When Ariadne pointed this vid out to me, she said, "It's like your fic Inextricable brought to life." And it is. Except this vid is much more hopeful than that fic. Incredibly well done.

A Choriambic Progression by Mairead Triste and Aristide; Harry/Snape; Adult
I love love love the Harry voice in this and the narrative voice in general. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Courtship Rituals by Meri; Harry/Snape; Adult
This is a cliche and a half and I totally love it. I am a sucker for forced marriage fic in all its resplendent glory and this is certainly a resplendent example.
Conduits of Sorcery by Penumbra; Harry/Snape, Snape/Lucius; Adult
Despite the fic's unfortunate title, it's an engaging read that features an intriguing use of tattooing, Lucius Malfoy in all his git-itude, and a mystery that will surprise you in its conclusion.
Two Lockets by Sinick and Acid; Harry/Snape, Snape/Regulus; Adult
If you're interested in the craft of world building, in the intricate layering of all those small details that make a world real and vital and tangible to the reader--look no further. The way that magic and magical objects are used in this story is clever, poignant and flat out cool. The characterizations are wonderful and all in all it's just a damn good story. Go. Read. Even if you hate the Harry Snape pairing, I think you'd be hard pressed not to find this story enjoyable.Rapture by Mia Ugly; Snape/Harry, Harry/Ginny; Adult
This is a time travel fic and it's very cleverly done. Harry goes back in time, but the catch is that he can't reveal future information. His urgency to do so and his increasing despair really resonate with me.
Imaginis by Leela; Harry/Snape; Adult
Snape owns a bookstore! Harry is an Auror. Regulus the portrait is a meddler! This fic is pretty much fun times all around. :)

The Full Monty by
executrix; Kaylee/Minor Male Character; Adult
Exec writes a Kaylee who is sensual and takes joy in her body but who is also innocent and sweet and endearing. In this fic, Kaylee gets to have herself a right fine time and so does the sherriff and so do we.
