Fan Girl Wannabe

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.

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 jerakeen  (stories and recs) and Dira_Sudis (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 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 kradamadness That's a lot of reading!
