Star Trek, WWTD, and a Cillian Murphy RPS rec

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
So here's my belated Trek post. I saw Star Trek on Friday afternoon its opening weekend. I was blown away. They did such an amazing job, and especially to treat the reboot as they did where it just opens up so much potential...I am excited.

Blather and shipping and all the spoilery stuff... )

...in other news, if it's true that the guy who played George Kirk is going to be Thor, I am a little flaily. Crossovers! Yespls.

I just read this Cillian Murphy/Ruth Negga fic by jackandahat@DW on chromatic_fanfic@DW and it is smoking hot. Breakfast on Pluto RPF skirtporn is win. There is another one, with pegging, which I've tabbed open for later. slfkjs.

Logan/Remy recs, the oldies but goodies

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
In further procrastination this morning and upon seeing someone voice a "where is all the hot Logan/Remy?" I dug up the links to my favourite fics.

I rec'd these on my LJ years ago, and am relieved to find working links for them! The accented dialogue of Remy's speech frequently is reproduced as it was in the comics, so if that's a peeve of yours go in forewarned. Somewhere out there is a Logan/Remy danger room fic that was also panty-melting. I'll see if I can track down.

Logan's Experiment by O. This is and always probably will be my favourite Logan/Remy story. It has a beautiful lyrical quality to the prose. The first time I read it, it took me a few paragraphs to get into the flow, but after that initial hurdle it's always been a fluid read. This one also brings in those few hints of Remy's telepathy.

"Left y'here for the clean-up crew, eh?" Logan murmured, appreciating the drape of outstretched body, long and spare, the lift of deep ribs hollowing out a hard narrow belly like a young hunting hound.


Games by Cheyenne Dancer. There are certain tropes that I don't see very often anymore, but maybe I'm just reading in the wrong places. This, however, is one of my favourite sex club fics ever.

He could worry about why Logan had shown up here, tonight, later... after he had given him the slip. Remy felt the heat traveling up his face, started to say something and then changed his mind. He could play Logan's game. It might even be fun. He was sure the X-man was all bluff. And bluffing was Gambit's game.


The Rough, The Smooth, & The Inbetween by Glamour Ghoul. This one's a Logan/Jean/Remy with an established Logan/Jean adding Remy to pot and it is smoking hot. If you like doubleteaming hetporn with a light sprinkling of slash, this fic is for you.

Her mind raced backward several days, to a quiet afternoon when she and Betsy had made tea and pondered what Logan and Remy could possibly be discussing with such seriousness. Now, without using even the tiniest bit of her power, she was absolutely sure what it was.

Her.

countdown to a month of too much i want to do

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I have three more days in this semester and the evil twin distracts me with 8000 words of J3 fisting porn. 8000 words of ridiculously hot fisting porn. You know, once upon a time I didn't see the appeal. I am a convert. She is also probably stupidly pleased that I have slid that much closer down the slippery slope towards J2. We'll see if I can ever get there without the JDM crutch. I've missed having an rps fandom though. And with Susan watching all the LotR movies lately, it's been making me super nostalgic over lotrips. Which reminds me, I've been looking around for ages for this fic that had one of the hobbits (I think it was Billy) and SeanB and football and drinking and hotness. I think it had Viggo/Sean mentions in it too. Eurgh. I wish I could be less vague....

Anyway, tomorrow, I have a full day of hard surface modeling in front of me. With how behind I was in that class since the format and the materials just did not click with me, I'm not sure how close to finished I'll be with my project. Enough to get a passing grade, I'm sure, but not nearly where I want. Thankfully I got an additional training vid that did a really good job at illustrating all the concepts I was having difficult with. I'm dedicated enough to the subject (Metallicar!) that it's a project I'll keep going on.

My character model is also not going to be finished to level I'd like, but it's more than good enough to turn in. I have all the main parts done, and done well, and it's only all the extra (and optional) accessories that I'm lagging behind on. That one too I'm dedicated enough to continue working on, and I'm really excited to see it done. I'm dying to texture and pose the character, since I think he turned out looking pretty darn cool. It was nice too to collaborate on an original character that wasn't my own as well as something non-fannish as it gave me a lot of wiggle room and I didn't have to spend weeks trying to do character design when that's not my forte.

I gave away my Sunday shift since I definitely need the time with a midnight due date. I'll still be going in with J during the bake shift at stupid o'clock tomorrow though. I had pretty much told my boss I thought we should decorate and he said, go for it, so I bought/made some things on my own that I could just take down and keep after the holidays, and then used petty cash to pad that out with garlands and cute little mini-ornaments. I got about 50% of it up this morning before my shift actually started, and so I want to finish that tomorrow. The head baker came in early and asked if I was going to put up anything in the back. I hadn't really planned to since I went into it thinking more about customers than employees, but after he asked, I made sure to ration out my supplies so I could make production pretty and festive too. For such a meagre budget, I think I did fairly well, and my favourite regulars were appreciative. That totally made coming in early worth it. :D

Anyway, back to the grind!

p.s. Oh wait, I forgot, J and I put up our xmas lights today on the balcony and they're so very pretty. We're probably going to get another strand for the window in our room, but even now we have the cutest lights on the block! :D

p.p.s. The guy working on his cars in the garage underneath us is playing AC/DC. If only he didn't look like the comic book guy from the Simpsons. Sure I'm pretending otherwise, but still.

Southland Tales, Het Challenge, and a Die Hard fic rec

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
We watched Southland Tales last night. There are some movies which I find very hard to recommend, but that just blow my mind and give me a certain level of excitement for the future of film-making. It was fascinating on so many levels to me, visually obviously, but I particularly liked how much it made me think. Some of that I'm sure is due to how it's somewhat rambling and surreal so I couldn't just let a simple, linear plot wash over me, but it maintained this underlying current that managed to hold everything that seemed fantastical or bizarre together in such a way that I never felt that the most absurd things were actually absurd. The cast in and of itself was fascinating, since it made me keenly aware how much I mentally typecast so many of them. I'd love to let it sit in my head for a while and watch it again, which isn't something I really got from Donnie Darko. All in all, I adored it.

Also, someone should so write me Seann William Scott and Dwayne Johnson RPS or point me towards it if it exists. Everytime I see them together it makes me feel embarrassingly squealy. Seriously. I have such a massive crush on Dwayne Johnson, one which I can feel better about everytime he's in a movie I want to watch for the movie's sake and not just because I want to paw at his biceps and see him smile. I'm dying to go see Get Smart. Tomorrow hopefully. :x

[info]het_challenge is still open for prompts until the 5th. This time it's a mix and match. I highly encourage people to drop by and leave some prompts so there are more fandoms and characters represented! Head over to this post and drop off a list of up to 5 pairings or moresomes of mixed gender and up to 5 scenarios for everyone to choose from!

Fic Rec:

Die Hard - Save As, John/Matt, by [info]poisontaster for the Small Fandom Big Bang. I've hardly read in the fandom since John/Matt is not something I can see really easily, but she wins me over every time with the way she writes them. This is a fantastic story, with the sort of character development from beginning to end and the quality of writing that reminds me so thoroughly of everything I love about reading fanfic. The pacing and emotional intensity and omghotness had me ignoring everything this morning in favour of reading all the way to the end in a single sitting.

OMG IRON MAN

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Since [info]nekofreak hadn't seen Iron Man yet, I used this as a flimsy excuse to go see it again. Upon third viewing? STILL SMOKING HOT AND AWESOME.

I... I tried to pretend like I wasn't falling hard, but, well. I have icons now. That says enough. :x

Also, the evil twin talked me into robot tentacle porn, and I talked her into a Supernatural/Iron Man crossover. She writes like a fiend though, so the tentacle porn lags behind.

Behold the flaming panties hotness:

HP Beholder Recs

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
On a non-Supernatural note. I received my [info]hp_beholder gift, and omgglee. Since the signups had you only requesting characters rather than specific pairings, I'd been dying waiting to see what I'd end up with, and now I know: a tasty tasty bit of Fenrir/Lupin dub-con. Unf. A very pretty Lupin at that. *_* "Graveyard Fun" for anyone else who likes big hairy men with their paws on anime-styled pretty boys. NSFW!

I caught up on quite a few of the entries yesterday, and here are a couple of the other [info]hp_beholder which particularly caught my fancy:

Below the Belt - Dudley Dursley/Millicent Bulstrode - There's a lot about this one I liked, the tone and touches of humour were consistently lovely. I was completely sold on the pairing as crafted, and it was so nice to read a story where the author neither shied away from describing a larger body type or fetishized aspects therein, but rather managed just to make both Dudley and Millicent sexy in their own right.

Quite Some Time Since - Augusta Longbottom/Pomona Sprout - I rarely come across many femslash pairings I like, so adding in the arguable subgenre of older characters, this one stands out from the list of femslash fics I've read and adored. The characterisation and the setting really had me invested in a character I've never really given more than a few seconds thought to, and ultimately in a pairing that never would've crossed my mind!

evil twin treats me good

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Few things turn me into a gooey little fangirl more than Dean and his daddy issues. Unless it's Dean and his daddy issues getting shoved around by Sam.

So, when I make cute eyes and nudge little plot bunnies at the evil twin and then she goes and writes them?

This... this is me... I am flan, see me wobble. *_*

fic rec: harry potter - harry/sirius

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
For those of you unawares, [info]pornish_pixies has moved here to IJ. And the first posted fic is just...guh.

HP - Unnatural Attractions by [info]gatewaygirl - Harry/Sirius. first person pov, bestiality.

After rewatching OotP, I admit I have a new appreciation for Harry/Sirius. Depending on character or author I'll have a tough time getting into a first person pov fic, but I had no trouble at all with this one. There is actual bestiality in this story as well, and Harry has to deal with being attracted to animals (and the consequences) rather than just kinky sex with a person who happens to be able to transform into the shape of one...although there is also plenty of that, and wow.

Yuletide Recs - Lost Boys, The Matador, Samurai Champloo

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I swear, my hands are incapable of retaining heat.

Also, I have been awake since fuckass early and I don't know how that happened since we played magic until like 2 last night.

My plans for today however are simple: finish my Duo picture, go to whole foods for yogurt, and read another dozen or two yuletide stories.

...one down.

Lost Boys - My Shangri-La - David/Michael, Michael&Sam

David taught him to fly.

Lost Boys - Blood Brothers - Lost Boys/Michael

"Don't fight it, Michael." Dwayne's voice above him sounds too deep, raw and ragged.

Lost Boys - Say What Now - Michael&David - A short treat with a perfect last line.

The Matador - Being for the Benefit of Mr. Wright - Julian/Danny

He shook Julian's shoulder again, quick and unsteady as a shiver, and said intensely, thin and high, "I am trapped in a hotel kitchen in Mexico City in my pajamas and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do about it!".

Samurai Champloo - Love and Hate and Heavy Shit Like That - Jin/Mugen

"Do you love me?" she'd asked.

"No," Mugen said, for the man was named Mugen. And he was so horrified at the moment that he'd forgotten her name, and she was a little annoying but he'd decided he might still want to screw her again so he added, "Baby."


My favourite fic today was Being for the Benefit of Mr. Wright, because I've been dying for a good slashy/poly fic for the fandom and this delivers on all counts. Clever, funny, and a nice plotty chunk of goodness. Slighty crazy, sex-obsessed hitmen for the win.

Yuletide Recs - Casino Royale, Dexter, Greatest American Hero, Ocean's 11, and The Prestige

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Casino Royale - Operating Instructions - Bond/M


They stay in ostentatious hotels and he grows a beard that terrifies the bellboys. His organization does not keep in touch, M does not keep in touch, and he finds this all very well and good until the second week of groundwork, at which point he becomes abruptly so bored that he goes out and gets into a fight with a diplomatic consul. "A nice touch of character," Stirling calls it, eyes wide in admiration, and James does not show his surprise.


Dexter - Blood Will Out - Deb/Rudy.

Her brother comes in two flavors: annoyingly hokey and unerringly odd, and judging from the fidgety way he was jingling the change in his pockets, tonight's an odd night. Which was good, because really, what if Rudy decided he likes Dex more than Deb when faced with someone who isn't a neurotic mess? It had been known to happen before, even if there was no way in hell Deb is ever going to tell Dex what really happened with Jake.

Dexter - Ask Me How - Dexter and Rudy.

And it's a gift from my foster father, just like everything else that comprises the person that the world knows as Dexter Morgan; all those bits and pieces of Harry, wedged between the fragments that were once a terrified child, somehow making up an entire human being. Of sorts.

Greatest American Hero - Life Piled on Life - Maxwell

The sign in the driveway calls it an "active adult community," but he knew it was an old folks' home when he moved into the small bungalow - not big enough to call it a house - and his opinion hasn't changed. Someone comes in to cook his meals and clean for him. Some of the other old bastards who live here have people to wipe their asses, but he's already sworn to swallow his pistol if it comes to that.

Ocean's 11 - Boy Wonder - Linus, Danny, and Rusty.

Rusty glances sideways at him. "No, the important part is that you remember where that door is, because after the job we're going to need it."

"Right. That door. The one...right there." Linus points at it to illustrate. "Got it."


Ocean's 11 - Smoke and Mirrors - Danny/Rusty

"How do I look?" Rusty asks.

Danny makes a show of intently studying him, from the toes of his dusty lace-up boots to the lank strands of his wig. "Like an aging hippie scientist who'll die without tenure," he says.


Ocean's 11 - The Genuine Article - Danny/Rusty

From where he's sitting at the bar across the room, he has a clear view of Rusty and his mark in their booth, and he can see the way Rusty leans in with a slow, crooked smile, saying something that makes the man opposite him laugh even as he rests his elbows on the table, shifting closer as if drawn. It's the purest form of magnetism.


Ocean's 11 - A Make-You Town (A Break-You Town) - Danny&Rusty

Rusty has tried to explain his love for Vegas to people before, with mixed results.

Reuben said, "Don't talk to me about it," and stabbed viciously at his octopus appetizer. "I live here. I wouldn't know where else to live. But I stay away from the Strip. Too many goddamn tourists.


Ocean's 11 - everything looks perfect from far away - Danny/Rusty

They take turns napping. Rusty spends most of the trip pocketing the small, valuable articles that their fellow first-class passengers inevitably leave unattended. Danny wakes up and slips them back into pockets and bags and overheads. Rusty pretends not to notice.


Ocean's 11 - How Sarah Winchester Kept Her Millions (But Lost Her Mormons) - Danny&Rusty

No, Rusty is decidedly not surprised when he finally get the phone call from Danny, who very quietly and very rationally explains his need for something more fulfilling than knocking over banks and museums and art galleries. He's more romantic about it than he needs to be when he launches into a carefully scripted speech about their partnership, how they've gotten too good for small-time heists, how they need something challenging to keep them from getting too restless or they'll fall apart, and Rusty's only half listening, because he's already on-line booking airline tickets to wherever Danny's id is leading him. Rusty thinks of the first rule, and reminds himself that he and Danny aren't friends and really, it's just business.

The Prestige - Red Ball Bounces - Borden

The noose is coarse. My clothing itches. I stand there, surrounded by the screaming of the other prisoners and know I am innocent. It shouldn't matter, but it makes it worse. That's when I make the vow.

The Prestige - Duplicity - Cutter, Angiers

Sometimes—as I tried to tell them from the day they started with Milton, both of them—the oldest methods are the best. You can build fancy apparatus and pack it into a cabinet twice the height of a man, you can decorate it with designs out of the bleeding Orient and hang giant lamps from every corner, but the secret—the secret, mind you—is apt to be a piece of wood the width of a man's fist. A sliding panel just large enough to put your hand through or, or, a piece of metal, bent in the shape of a crooked 'S'—or nothing at all, just a misimpression you've planted in the minds of the audience.

The Prestige - Toil and Trouble - Cutter, Angiers, Borden

"I don't...I don't understand," Cutter said.

...and a non-Yuletide rec for HP...

I would also like to point out my gift from [info]merry_smutmas: Life After Death, a sdfadlfkj worthy bit of Remus/Severus. This totally hit my 'forced to be together' fic kink, since they match, somewhat, but they still keep their rough edges. And although there are hints of Tonks and Sirius in a way that fulfills my love of those ships, the fic doesn't focus on them at all in order to force Remus and Severus together. That's left up to magics and politics, and a unique bit of lycanthropy in this. ...also there is Legilimency sex. And how hot is that. :d

December 30th, 2007

Yuletide Recs - Dinosaur Comics, Dogma, and Hot Fuzz

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Dinosaur Comics - Insecurity Comics

"Now all I can think about is my tiny arms. Everywhere I go, I feel like people are staring at me and snickering at me behind my back."

Dogma - Wisconsin, for All Eternity - Loki/Bartleby

He still smells like heaven. Like vanilla and fresh-baked bread and honey. I fucking love the way he smells. I probably smell like raining down sulfur and brimstone, or at least slightly scorched bread.

Dogma - An Arrangement of Superstitions - Loki/Bartleby

"Put it away," Metatron groaned. "No one cares how big your feathers are."

Dogma - Acclimation - Loki/Bartleby

"Once again, your penchant for using me as a leaning post has yet another person thinking we're gay. I hope you're happy. I doubt he is, if the images that just assaulted his --" Bartleby cut himself off as the man started blushing. "Oh. Well, maybe he is happy ..."

Loki's laughter tapered off as his natural curiosity took over.


Hot Fuzz - How to Take Care of a Japanese Peace Lily - Nicholas&Danny...and the lily.

"Why'd they call it a peace lily, though?" Danny wants to know. His big hand is reaching for the flower but Nicholas' own blocks it.

"I'm not sure," Nicholas replies honestly. "Perhaps because its flowers are white."

"They've not had many wars in Japan, I s'pose," Danny says, "since, y'know, that movie Seven Samurais. Oh, my mum had water lilies in the garden."


Hot Fuzz - Film Studies- Nicholas/Danny

4.) !!!!!!CAR CHASE!!!!!!

Hot Fuzz - Settled In - Nicholas/Danny

'That's what they meant about the celebration,' he said, putting it together. 'Danny, do they think...'

'What?'

'Do they think we're together?'

'We are together.'

'No, not together,
together.


Hot Fuzz - Bend Hard - Nicholas/Danny

"The hot girl who's in trouble! You missed her! Someone's still out there!" Danny lifted his head up, clearly trying to get up, and went pale. Nick quickly stood and pushed him back down.

Hot Fuzz - The White Lights and the Blue - Nicholas/Danny

"The swan," he said slowly, with very deliberate emphasis. "It's been abducted."

"I...see," Nicholas said, and he motioned Staker into a chair, sat behind his desk, and tried to look concerned. "Is it possible that he's just escaped again?"

Mr. Staker gave him a pitying look.

"It's just--it
is a bird," Nicholas said. "They fly, don't they? Perhaps he's simply...migrated?"


Hot Fuzz - The Policeman Officer's Seduction - Nicholas/Danny

And surely Nicholas has noticed the cranberry juice in the fridge - it's all that's in there besides beer and takeaway that should have been binned weeks ago. Would cranberry juice be in Danny's fridge without an ulterior motive? It would not.

Hot Fuzz - Direct Evidence - Nicholas&Danny

"What did you put down for number 7?" Danny asked, leaning in closer to look at Nicholas' form.

"It's not a quiz, everybody," Nicholas said, looking around the room. "We'll just report the facts as they happened. Everybody did what was necessary in capturing the criminals."


I don't think I can pick a favourite from this batch, since each of the fics have something awesome. And in all the Hot Fuzz ones, there are multiple lines in each one that made me laugh aloud.

December 29th, 2007

Yuletide Recs - Dramatic fandoms A-C

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
In some fandoms nearly every fic posted was worth a read, so in those cases I limited myself in terms of not reccing every single one. Tough calls, sometime, though. And in order to break things up a bit, here's my first set of recs. All non-comedy fandoms/fics in this one.

Angel Sanctuary - A Taste of You - Kira/Katou, mentions of Kira/Alexiel, Kira/Setsuna

Kira has always liked the taste of cigarettes. He fancies that cancer is a spice, noxious and thickly sweet, one more forbidden fruit in a corrupt life. In Anagura, all smoke tastes of carrion and brimstone and promises set adrift. The effect is surprisingly addictive.

Angel Sanctuary - The Game in the Garden - Lucifer/Alexiel

Alexiel recognizes the value of overwhelming force and unmitigated slaughter; her lack of subtlety makes her even less well-suited to the game. They commiserate over this sometimes.

Angel Sanctuary - Sefirot - Kira/Alexiel (Kira/Setsuna)

Mountains of corpses ring us. We killed them, you and I. We cleaved wings from shoulders and heads from necks. We spilled entrails and we rejoiced, and I could no longer tell where I ended and you began. Have you read your secret in me? Do you play a deeper game?


Batman Begins - Fundamentals - Alfred&Bruce, gen

"Why would you do such a thing?" Alfred asked the boy reflected in the rearview mirror, who had not uttered a word since the headmaster declared, in no uncertain terms, that Mr. Wayne was no longer welcome. "I've taught you better than to disrespect your teachers, young man, let alone rip jewelry from their person." Speaking it aloud only made the deed sound more absurd. "That necklace was given to that poor woman by her grandmother. An heirloom."

Batman Begins - Lodestone - Gordon, gen

The benchtop was patterned in dusty-red peonies, a style closer to the fashion of their parents' time than theirs. At the corner, a section of veneer the size of a silver dollar was missing, revealing chipboard beneath. Like Gordon's failings as a provider, this had a certain humble charm, but would become less charming over time.

Batman Begins - A Year in the Life - Bruce

Spring is the season for weddings, and everyone invites Bruce to theirs, whether from ambition or greed, or in the case of some of the brides, to show him what he missed out on. He always arrives fashionably late, strolling across the manicured lawn just in time for the kisses and champagne.

"Skip the boring parts of everything, that's my motto," he says, and everyone around him laughs.


Bourne Identity - The State of Nature - Pamela/Nicky

During the question and answer period, someone asks, "What makes you sure Jason Bourne is still alive?"

Bourne Identity - Footsteps Ran Past - Jason (slight Jason/Marie)

Weill Cornell is an imposing building, but it's busy, and it's easy to slip into a clot of medical students as they walk into the trauma center. He's always thought that they should make hospitals harder to break into. Inside is a complicated mess of people and fluorescent lighting; his head swims, but he blinks twice and holds on. He slides an empty clipboard into his hand as he passes one of the main desks and glances down at it with a distantly irritated expression while he strides down the hall.

The Breakfast Club - State of Imaginary Grace - Bender/Brian

Still, Alison's invitation was tempting - but it was simply too expensive. A round-trip plane ticket was completely out of his reach. No, Brian thanked her and sent her a Christmas card and gift (a wallet with many compartments, to remind her of her bag lady days), and she sent him a card with a pretty Christmas tree on it, with her giving him the middle finger drawn in. It was good to keep in touch, he thought, and smiled.

Constantine - By Faith Ye Stand - John/Gabriel

"I'm sorry," Gabriel says, testing it on his tongue, shoveling another forkful of pancakes in his mouth. "You have no idea how sorry I am."

"No, you're sorry you got caught," John says, waving absently at the kids in the next booth. "Every twelve-year-old kid understands the difference."


Constantine - Choose Water Over Wine - John/Chas

Books allow him to make sense of the things he'd seen through John's eyes. Monsters and creatures, awful in their magnificence. When they're summed down to words and phrases, human doubts, they're not half as real. There are times when he wishes he could stop looking and believe in fiction.


My favourites in this batch are probably Footsteps Ran Past in Bourne Identity, and Lodestone in Batman Begins. They win for sheer atmosphere and god, they just nail the characters and their environment so well it blows my mind.

Insta Rec

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Okay, I've been compiling a big fat list of yuletide recs, but oh man, aside from my own gifty, this one is my favourite fic out of all of them so far:

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - Things We Can't Untie: Or, Gay Perry and Gay Harry and the Gay Jewels of Nabooti - Perry/Harry

Okay, so I've never really been the heartthrob, or the guy that gets the girl, or, in this case, the gay private detective. I've always had to work at winning people over, and I could tell that Perry wasn't giving me a flat-out rejection. If I know one thing, it's that persistence pays off, unless it leads to restraining orders or some girl's dad beating the crap out of you. Anyway, that's my advice. Feel free to take a minute to write it down.

It is clever, hilarious, and has such an amazingly good voice it could be canon.

For lack of a KKBB icon until I make myself one, enjoy Gabe and Tycho.

Yuletide!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I've already read my story and I am a twee bit flaily. It's so very beautiful.

Первая утрата (The First Loss)

To the humans, it was twilight. To us, it was dawn. And the opposite was true as well. When the sun rose, we, the Others, could no longer move in perfect freedom. Whatever had happened during the night, the subject was now closed, and what was done could not be undone. For better or for worse.

I sensed, rather than saw, the figure lying beside me. He was looking at me, with those steady, serious eyes. "Anton," Kostya whispered. "Wake up. We missed the night."


It's Night Watch (Anton/Kostya) and I'm trying to find a good way to rec that isn't just full of high pitched sounds. The writing is gorgeous with details that really bring everything alive, and the pacing and everything works so very well. Svetlana isn't marginalised or sacrificed for the story either, which is extra lovely.

If you like the series, you should go read immediately. *__*
