Supernatural Stuff

1. Quarters, Sharing is Caring, and Heaven or Las Vegas by trinityofone are all part of an AU verse in which Ruby is snarky demon but still ends up being the friend to an angel, Castiel discovers a little bit more about being human, and there's the hunt, the Impala, arguments, and sex. Dean/Castiel and Sam/Ruby.

2. Lend a Hand and Lift Me by xgreyfeather

In which Anna gently matchmakes (more or less, she opens Castiel's eyes), Dean has his usual problems of believing he's worth anything, and the two fix each other. There's sex, and yet it's still lovely. Dean/Castiel

3. The Consequences of Falling by pandarus

Ok, I can say I have a few quibbles with some characterization, but as a whole this fic is outstanding. Castiel makes the transition from angel to human when he decides to save the boys lives and who is there to pick him up? Ruby, of course. This is one of the best Ruby characterizations ever. You'll definitely like her more than Kripke's (mainly because the S4 finale isn't in here). And she gets what she deserves at one point. Oh, also? There's an offering of Castiel as a virgin. Very funny, very sexy, with some nice angel!angst and Dean!angst. Dean/Castiel, Sam/Ruby.

4. Have Faith by gembat

A brilliant, lovely, unique piece of digital Castiel/Dean art. Take a look. NSFW.

5. Till We Have Faces by an unrevealed author (part of a secret fic thing at deancastiel).

The apocalypse is over and Dean has been granted a gift to see Castiel's true form. There's a wonderful OC in this short story and Dean and Castiel break my heart in all the good ways. But it's not just about them, either. My favorite line of the whole piece is a little comment Dean makes to John Winchester. Dean/Castiel.

Star Trek Stuff

1. Interview with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto

Chris to Zach: That's your morning voice? That's a great morning voice.

They also totally fight over vocabulary. Dorks! ♥

2. Dancehall Drug by anythingever

An intensely hot and hilarious Zach/Chris RPF. Seriously. Hilarious as fuck. In which Chris somehow fits into Zach's pants, and there is hot, HOT sex (just, not quite with each other).

3. Congrats, You've Met Your Match (The Space Captain Remix) by roga

A very funny remixed fic featuring John Sheppard as "the new guy" at Starfleet Academy. Have you heard of anything as absurd as Kirk trying to outdo the master of cool? Kirk has to learn his lesson the hard when he tries to out seduce the next big spacewhore. John Sheppard/Jim Kirk, SGA/Star Trek crossover. I want this pairing like ALL THE TIME now.

4. I'm On A Ship by sparkly_stuff (and other fans)

Ok, I'm actually sad the creator changed the format of the post, because the song used to start automatically. So, in my opinion, for full effect, scroll down to the youtube vid at the bottom of the post (without reading the stuff in between!!) and start it, the scroll up to the top and follow the picspam down. Then reexamine the gif at the top and check out the other youtube vid another fan made singing the lyrics to clips from the movie. This whole post is made of EPIC WIN. Genius, seriously.

5. However Improbable by tabled

This is one of the funniest fics I've read in the new Trek fandom. The author's McCoy is just PERFECT. One-sided Spock/Kirk.

Other

DNA's Hottest Men of 2009

Gratuitous sexiness. And several boys my flist will recognize.

Dude, can you please hook me up with the Chris and Zac interview? It's apparently flocked.

Don't you have homework?:D

I had the list mostly done. It was a 15 minute break. Brat.

[siberian-skys.livejournal.com]

*snort*

Your break is over. Go learn something.

Thanks for the link, btw. :-)

[siberian-skys.livejournal.com]

OMG. I just watched the interview. I didn't think it was possible for two guys to be as hot and dorky as the Js. I may have been wrong.

[mf_luder_xf]

IKR? They are the most adorable boys ever. Almost cuter than J2. Simply because their humor is a bit...more witty.

[siberian-skys.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I would call them any more witty. They were spending a lot of time on the reporters blouse. ;-)

[mf_luder_xf]

Well, ok, yeah. Just the J2's humor is a little more lewd jokes and pranks and slapstick. Which I LOVE, don't get me wrong. But fighting over vocab? Awesome. There's been other examples, but I didn't keep those links. :-(

[bigredjunkie.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I think 2 and 5 on the SPN list are the only ones I haven't read yet. I shall have to check them out.

[mf_luder_xf]

Hope you like! I'm still working on the list you made (for which I am very appreciative).

[bigredjunkie.livejournal.com]

It was fun to make, though I think I went overboard with it.

And I'm just getting ready to check 2 and 5 out now.

[rhymephile.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'll check out all the Dean/Cas recs. Thank you for making it easier to sort through the chaff to get to the good stuff. Did I rec pandarus to you? (Hmm, maybe it was someone else). Her stories are pretty much the only ones I'll read without question (as long as they aren't in her cracky universes).

[rhymephile.livejournal.com]

Ah yes. I recall starting to read #2 until I hit "irregardless" in the third sentence of paragraph one. Then I was out. *sigh*

[mf_luder_xf]

Umm, sorry? I didn't mind it. It wasn't perfect, but I found it enjoyable. Certainly better than the angel-gets-drunk fics. Which can be funny and fun to read...but totally not very in with characterization or plot.

I have a really good one that I'm going to be posting seperately one of these days that I think you will enjoy.
