1. Many, many thanks to Shinta, Jas, Steff and Samena for the lovely blue dragons. It's certainly the Year of the Dragon, eh? ♥♥♥

2. A couple of quick recs. A Sherlock/LOTR crossover brilliantly written by aussiepeach. Here, where Frodo first met the Consulting Ranger at the Prancing Inn and its sequel where the Consulting Ranger met the Irene Adler of Lothlorien. Much hilarity ensues and yeah, I'm surprised that none of the Fellowship hadn't punched Sherlock yet lol. Read, read, READ! ( Thank you frodosweetstuff )

Uhm, Katikat, I don't think you'll have any objection to the casting of Watson here ;D

3. A crossover vid of sorts where House meets Sherlock meets Fortysomething. Or rather where Dr Paul Slippery had migrated to US to become the famous consulting doctor while his son, Rory grew up to be the equally famous ( or equally annoying, depending on whom you ask ) consulting detective.

Here. ( Thank you katikat for the heads-up! )

Is totally my man.

( As seen everywhere ).


** EPIC FLAIL **

This trailer vid made for __tiana__'s Big Bang Do or Do Not (There is No Try) is so made of WIN! Do watch!!

A vid made based on felisblanco's amazing, magical, wonderful story, The Doors of Time.

Here.

The images from the story are like, imprinted, burned, into my mind, and I'm so happy that someone has made this! I'm tearing up from just watching that vid, seriously, remembering bits and pieces from that story, the walk through the park, Jensen teaching Jared playing the piano, Jensen as a teacher at Juilliard, the fight with his family. And the butterflies!! *dies*

And oh, the music that the vidder chose ... that was when Jensen called Jared just before he was taken away and he played the piano over the phone and Jared finally knew ... *dies again*

And go read that story if you hadn't already!

He said the word "together" at least 5 times *g*



And so serious without Jared by his side!

On another note, I've this fic from this author that I've been anticipating for quite some time and now that it's posted I'm afraid to read it! Well, not afraid afraid, it's just that with my sky-high expectations, I'm worried that I'd be disappointed with it. And also, maybe by putting it off a little bit, I still have something to look forward to, if that made any sense.

Ever feel that way before?

The boys are crazy.

They. Are. NUTS.

( I miss your musk )

(((( talesinbloom! ))))

I'm really, really looking forward to the next 4 episodes of Supernatural. It's been quite some time since I felt this excited about a new episode, because well, none of episodes in S3 so far was anything like those in S1 and S2. But yeah, if the promo clips and the episodic stills are anything to go by, ep 9 to 12 are going to be absolute killers.

These two stills from episode 12 for instance, they totally killed me. totally.

( SPOILERY pics )

And the video clips from episode 9 OMG. Btw, I wish to thank i_o_r_h_a_e_l for pointing out something that is rather endearing and touching from the second clip which I didn't really notice before. ( not really spoilery but behind a cut just in case )

See the SPOILERY clips from ep 9 here.

And of course, episode 11 and omg WHAT IS GOING ON THERE????

SPOILERY episode stills from ep 11

I. Can't. Wait.

Watching this vid made me go all fuzzy and warm and so happy. It's a compilation of sorts of some of their earlier interviews, the Paley forum ( don't you just love it when Jared seemed to be leaning towards Jensen all the time, Jared's hand on Jensen's knee OMG, Jared making smoochie-faces at Jensen and God, that "I can't play his brother" part never fail to floor me each time I hear it.

And *flails some more* Jensen jumping into Jared's arm while filming 'Dead in the Water' - I could watch that over and over and over again.

The vidder called it a 'Friendship Video' but I'm so totally, totally wearing my tin hat while watching it. They look so good together, and their affection for each other is so very, very obvious, from the way they look at each other, the way they talk to and of each other and it all translate well to them being Sam and Dean. Uh-huh, I've got it bad, I know, and I totally blame i_o_r_h_a_e_l, jdsmylover and bloodkisses ( in a good way,of course ) for my love for anything Supernatural!


Thank you roseganymede for the link.

ETA : Jensen riding a horse OMG

And two J2rps which I've just read recently.

One is Focus by winterlive which is reminiscent of Abundantlyqueer's Clue!verse - sweet, awkward first time where they're not sure what to do with each other.

And the other one is Breaking Status Quo or
How to Ruin a Perfectly Good Friendship in Five Steps or Less by raina_at. Fantastic, spot-on characterizations - you'd think that what was written really happened. Amazing, both of them. Go read!

One of the best Sam-going-darkside fics I've ever read.

Title : To The End
Author : esohpe
Summary : The world is ending, Sam has turned, and Dean stops running.

When Dean finally gets tired of running, he stops. It’s a Thursday and outside the sky is blue, the air chill, and he’s sitting on the flimsy lid of a toilet seat in some grungy bathroom in some grungy diner in Wisconsin, staring at spidery red graffiti on the door of the stall that says “I did ur mom.” Four and a half minutes later, when he leaves the diner, doughnuts and chips tucked up under his arm and the last of his change jangling in his back pocket, the sky is still blue, the air still chill, and everything else has changed. He gets into the car he hotwired two states away and drives and drives and drives. He heads for dense forest and a place he knows.

The title says it all. Sam turns darkside and there's only one thing left that can still save him. The brothers' love for each other. Gripping right from the beginning, it terrified me at first, because it seemed that Sam was really evil. That there was no more Sam left inside. I *almost* stopped reading it. Almost. But not quite.

Because of this.

Afterwards, Sam manhandles him back into the car, and uses another piece of rope to loosely tie his wrists and ankles together. Dean can’t bring his hands up much higher than his waist, but it’s a hell of a lot comfier and he’s thankful for small mercies. He’s even more thankful when Sam brings out the contents of the carrier bag: cheese and ham bagels, two bottles of water, a bag of peanut M&Ms. “I figured you’d be hungry,” Sam says, with a shrug, and Dean has no clue what’s going on because peanut M&Ms for fuck’s sake. He stays silent.

Evil!Sam giving Dean peanut M&Ms? I knew then I that could read this story. Yup, right to the very end. And it's brilliant.

It's very dark, yes, but it's full of love, too. And I love Dean's conclusions on why Mary and Jessica just had to die.

And there's a vid to go with the fic as well!
