harry potter

• blinded tonks/ginny, r, light bondage. beautiful tonks!

merlin

• cause there's no choice in the end, merlin/arthur, nc-17. Shortly after the death of his father Arthur has to fight his first battle as King of Camelot. (Future!AU)
my camelotsolstice gift! oh how much i love thee, let me count the ways. battle!fic! blood and hacking and slashing! brain-washed peasant army! with a young king arthur struggling to adapt to his new position as such and a merlin who stays beside him every step of the way. i should also note that it indulged my undressing!kink in a most wonderful way. :D really, my rec doesn't do it justice, so just read it.

• days of old and days to be, merlin/arthur, background gwen/lancelot, r. Regency AU in which Arthur is the darling of the ton, Merlin is still a terrible valet, Mordred is a radical rabble-rouser, and Gwen's in love with a Light Dragoon.
i'm not much for AU in this fandom, but this fic totally won me over. there's a lot of attention to detail and the characters, especially morgana, are all fantastically written.

( supernatural, under a cut cause it gets a bit long )

my hp_toujours gift got posted yesterday and since i can't even check my own flist properly, i read it almost a day late.

all right with me, james/regulus, pg-13. Timing. To achieve the right reaction in Potions, timing was everything.

SQUISHABLE REGULUS IS SQUISHABLE. and james is exasperating like only himself can be, but still squishable. a short fic designed to induce happy warm fuzzies. i know who the author is, and she rocks at writing the pairing. go read! :]

a belated birthday gift from fera_festiva: steampunk crossover art! tonks vs morgana swordfight! you know you wanna look.

music rec! 22by7 linked me to supernova kiss by nullsleep AND I FELL IN LOVE. it makes my little gamer heart happy. i've downloaded everything i could get from his website.

here's a rec list of the fics and art i've linked to on twitter/bookmarked on delicious for the past few weeks. mostly spn, with some merlin.

changed my twitname to @realityjumble. free renaming service: perfect for my frequent internet-identity crises.

fly-by art recs (all worksafe):

• such great heights by iAes, r/s. i love iAes's pretty pretty boys. :>
• two merlins by steam_pilot. lovely colors/textures in the 1st one, but my eyes keep getting dragged to the second one.
• castiel by reverie18. very nice adaptation of a screencap.

god i have to make new rec tags now. u_u i have a few fic recs, since i've been gifted some lovely ficlets, i will make a post as soon as i can string together the words for a proper rec :/
