fullygoldy: Yellow Roses (Default)

[personal profile] china_shop's annual event is underway.  Today it's rec 3 fanworks more than 6 months old.

In the YKINMK category:  Good Boy by leashy_bebes  is just old enough to qualify for today's challenge.

Animal play, puppy play, these are not my kinks, but this story is surprisingly sweet and hot.  Avengers, Tony/Bruce
Tony is exhausted, sweet, and needy, Bruce is smart and generous.   At 3459 words, it's not a huge investment to try something different, which is how I discovered it.  I'm glad I did.  I should have bookmarked it when I first read it, because it took way too long to relocate this morning, but it was worth it.

In the Older Man/Younger Man category:  A Burning Patience by Mazarin221b Lewis, Lewis/Hathaway, 4717 words

An old dog learns some new tricks.  Mild kink exploration, touching and hot, and totally needs a sequel.

In the PWP category, since I cannot seem to find the one that starts off in a California Pizza Kitchen:  How's That for a Sign? by accol  Generation Kill, Brad Colbert/Nate Fick, 2624 words

accol is a good writer, and these bite-size stories are great for standing in line, etc.  Brad in a wet T-shirt is irresistable.

I seriously need to relocate the California Pizza Kitchen story though - I've been searching AOOO all day, with no luck.  The thing is, they're so damn smart.  The words they string together are unbelievable, and unbelieveably hot.  Plus, the pretty doesn't hurt a whit.

fullygoldy: Volleyball Medalists Hug (Slash Dudes)
I guess I need a Generation Kill icon?

Thanks to [personal profile] dira , I've finally seen all the eps and about half the commentaries/special features for GK. DH and I watched together, and we both liked the documentary and technical aspects of the series.  Since this is journalism-based, the story telling isn't what we normally get.  Wright was doing something very specific - documenting what he saw, and he admits that in a few places he wants to highlight some of the things he saw (good and bad), but he's not trying to romanticize the event.

I really like the three-dimensional aspect of many of the characters.  The series does a way better job of fleshing out multiple characters than anything else I've seen lately.  Unfortunately, it seems some of the real-life people weren't 3D enough to flesh out in any meaningful way.  I was totally blown away by how much Skarsgard physically resembles Colbert, and how well he portrayed his quiet confidence/competence.
 
So it's interesting to me that there are such strong pairings.  The only one that really jumped out at me was Evan/Ray, LOL.  Seriously, I think Evan has a big fat mancrush on Ray.  I think it has to do with Ray's incredible command of language ::snort::

And okay, you can make a case for Rudy/Pappy, but that may be another one-sided thing.  Rudy did seem to have a hard time keeping his hands off Pappy.

Brad/Nate is pretty to contemplate, and I've thoroughly enjoyed exploring that concept, but I'm not sure I would have gone there on my own.  It makes sense, in that they're pretty much the only two that are pretty sane throughout, so like finds like and then things snowball from there, right?

But I guess I'm truly hooked, because last night I dreamt I was giving Brad a blowjob.  In loving, technicolor detail, complete with deep throating, and moaning and, and, and.  He's not my usual dreamboat, but he IS a long, tall drink, and I do love still waters, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.  At least he doesnt seem as young as Nate.

fullygoldy: Wind-ruffled Neal (Neal Caffrey)

DH and I mainlined season 3 of White Collar once it finally appeared on Netflix.  Oh, Neal! Oh, El! Oh, Peter! Oh, show!!!!!!

tiny thoughts on WC )I have been reading an insane amount of Teen Wolf, thanks to [personal profile] jerakeen  (stories and recs) and Dira_Sudis ([personal profile] dira ) (stories) and the fangirl meetup.  We watched ep 4, so I have some actual canon to go with it.  Since it's all about the adolescent hormonal werewolf angst, I feel one ep is fairly sufficient for basis.

To balance Teen Wolf, I am also suddenly reading a lot of Lewis, which I have seen the first 2 eps, and since this is all about the mature, thoughtful, quietly competent men and their feels, two eps is a solid basis.  Never mind I started reading both of these without benefit of canon - I've become accustomed to acquiring new fandoms this way.  Apparently I'm nearly 100% non-spoilerphobic.

Also thanks to [personal profile] dira , because she loaned me the entire DVD set, I now have the first 2 parts of Generation Kill under my belt.  DH is a hard core military movie/documentary fan, so it wasn't a hard sell at all.  So far, I'm not seeing the Nate/Brad, but everybody does lust after Rudy, and I think there might be a case for Evan/Ray.  Or at least an unrequited crush by Evan towards Ray.  I have to say, it's hard to believe the same organizations that successfully run critical covert ops were responsible for invading ANY country. SHEE-eesh.

I've also reread two Vorkosigan 'verse books (Bujold), and all of Dira's GenKill/Iskryne crossovers (telepathic wolves!) and have managed most of the latest round of [community profile] kradamadness That's a lot of reading!
fullygoldy: text = If there's a slashers' heaven, I bet they've got a hell of an archive (Slashers' Heaven)

OY, how/why do I do this?!

I seriously have never seen the original canon for any of these, and yet, I am reading enough of them to have to fully include them in my "current fandoms. In reverse chronological order:"

Thor (it's all [personal profile] astolat's fault, though I totally intended to see the movie when it premiered, but RL had other plans)
Inception (IDEK, it just happened)
My Chemical Romance (but it's just crossovers with Adam Lambert-including Tommy macking on Frank spectacularly)
Sherlock (BBC)
Merlin (BBC)
White Collar (who can resist all the pretty? Now [personal profile] china_shophas me reading Clinton/Neal in addition to the OT3.
I recently reread the Supernatural/Friday Night Lights crossover by [personal profile] bone, (SO HOT!) which featured Dean/Tim. I've seen half of one episode of SPN, so I'm standing by my "no original canon" claim there.

Hawaii Five-O is also current, but I've finally seen at least half of season one, and everything that's aired since the premier of season 2, making it the only canon I'm watching that is currently airing.

What on earth is wrong with me?!?!

ETA: How much wine had I drunk when I posted this?  I see I tagged it with "die hard" as in Live Free or, and "genkill" Generation Kill, but didn't even mention them.  And really, Die Hard McLane/Farrell was probably my first "no canon" fandom!
