Favorite Fics Meme and Some Recs

I was tagged by the lovely _3amconfession

Writer's Meme: Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five fics favorite you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most.

5. Hey Jealousy [Jared/Jensen, NC-17]: It's bitter, it's angsty, it feels real to me.

4. Brothers On A Hotel Bed [Dean/Sam, PG-13]: This was a little labor of love and I like to think I was actually able to pull off the imagery that abounds in my head but doesn't typically make it onto paper.

3. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. [Peter/Dean, Sam/Dean, Nathan/Peter, crossover Heroes/Supernatural, apocalypse!fic, NC-17]: I love this one because it's my first apocalypse!fic I've actually gotten written wholly. I spend so much time reading them, I don't always get to writing one. I also love the comparisons in the sets of brothers, which I tried to play out.

2. Fallen Is Babylon the Great [Dean/Sam, Non-Wincest, Demon!Dean, AU, PG-13]: Brought upon by the lovely manip by lexalot (link to manip in header), I am always a huge fan of evil!Dean, but this is actually more a walk on the magical, fantasy side of SPN than the dark side. Sam's psyche and Dean's a Hunter!demon in a broken world where there are worse evils than the Demons Hunters used to hunt. *plagarizes own summary*

1. Heaven Can Wait [Dean/Sam, NC-17]: I know, I know, I haven't been back to it in some time, but I think it's partly because this story is solid in my mind and so I'm not afraid to lose it when new ideas come. I love this one because a) I love the movie I based it off, and I like the idea of a later Sam who (I have only recently realized and I certainly didn't intend it this way, because I didn't watch SG1 then) is kind of like Daniel Jackson in that he's smart, culturally intelligent, loves the kids he teaches, and still does his job (plus that floppy hair)--and he's never been emotionally unfaithful to Dean. I like the idea of love conquering all--enough to where you can bully the archangel to put you back on earth. ;-)

So, that's my list! Though I do like my little SGA fic that's off in beta world. I don't think it would beat these though...

YouTube Recs:

Imogen Heap performing Just For Now Live: This is amazing. It's fun to see her actually handling all her sound equipment and I love that she totally gets into the music, her dancing is adorable.

Imogen Heap, music video for "Headlock": Not the kind of music video that rivets you, but it's cute and fun, and I can't help but laugh at her crazy hairstyles.

Imogen Heap music video for"Goodnight and Go": Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, anyone? While the dolls are this side of creepy, I love her dress and the way she moves is both amusing and ephemeral.

Regina Spektor music video for "Better": Not much in the way of grand plots or themes, but just a chance to listen to a good song and stare at how incredibly beautiful Regina is.
