mail it to last week when i might've cared
So it's kind of a quiet day at work, and I figured I might as well do two things: first, signal-boost for
zvi's Ladies' First challenge, which is all about the first time a woman does something sexual;
-- and do more Yuletide recs. I didn't get through them all last year, and this time I will!
. easy as one-two-three | glee - okay, Rachel/Puck was easily the hottest thing on the show (apart from
glockgal's favourite imaginary pairing, Mike/Britney), and this fic expands their brief relationship with all of the wry teenage contradiction and none of the hipster douchebaggery.
. charming women | the addams family - I always find it incredible when people write in these slightly frenetic canons and manage to slow things down to almost a cosy pace while still including the wacky stuff that makes it recognizable. This is exactly that.
. in motion | dead poets society - awwww, Neil and Todd. This is the kind of character study I like best, where even though nothing much happens there's a liveliness and movement to it.
. to face unafraid the plans that we've made | disney rpf - I am not really into the Disney stable (at least, this time around), but seriously, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez are so cute that I watched that whole Princess Protection whatever and thoroughly enjoyed it, so this little story about them going to prom together is, like, yes.
. the weight of the dead | dragon age - This rec is totally self-indulgent because I am in the tail end of playing the "female city elf" run-through of the game, so I can easily imagine my brown-skinned elf chick being the OC. The Alistair dialogue is almost creepily accurate!
Also: if you know anything about DC Comics and the recent development re: Roy & Lian Harper, read this poem by
odditycollector. God, that caved in my chest, even though I lack the gene for enjoying poetry.

I was momentarily disappointed that you didn't mean a real stable. With horses and such.
And that poem. Yes, ouch.

That poem and the reason behind it made me glad that I stopped reading comics out of self-preservation. Sigh.

JFC fandom, I think I haven't quite had my teeth kicked in enough this week. Would you like to maybe kill Kon-el off again?
