Yes. I know I said I'd be back with the rest of the recs I had, like two days ago, but I've been rather down so I had to wait for the energy to come back. My lovely partner-in-crime [livejournal.com profile] wouldbedorothy is working so I'm essentially bored and energized. Good combo to make me do this. So, let's go with that. :)



More Recs:

Home by [livejournal.com profile] lady_jane (Brian/Justin): One of the first admissions to [livejournal.com profile] neverenough_bj's "Worlds Apart" challenge, it's one of most realistic ways I have ever seen Brian and Justin reunited. I loved that [livejournal.com profile] lady_jane wasn't afraid to allow either character to grow. For the most part, it's from Justin's POV, and I loved that. It gives me so much prescpective into his motivations and thoughts. Totally recommend it, however I will give fair warning for those who actually have a problem with this, it does have Brian/OC.

We're Standing On the Edge of Something Amazing by [livejournal.com profile] laciudad (Brian/Justin): Also done for the "Worlds Apart" challenge, this is such a fun story. It has everything from angst to flat out fall down humor and of course lovely sweetness. I can't really talk about the plot because giving it away ruins the pleasure of the story but just go. READ!

Focus by [livejournal.com profile] wouldbedorothy (Gale/Randy, NC-17): I loved this so utterly. Mostly because I felt the roles were reversed in a lot of ways. There's always a reaching out of sorts between these characters, especially when [livejournal.com profile] wouldbedorothy writes them, and in this instance I loved how that played out. Not to mention seriously HOT SMUTTINESS!

Push by [livejournal.com profile] sameoldhope (Luke/Noah, NC-17): Though not new to this fandom, I've recently been more involved in it. This is one of the first stories for this fandom that I read and it's quite brilliant. Set in Victorian AU Oakdale (based off the ATWT Christmas special episode), it deals with Luke and Noah's secrets and how due to society, they have to say goodbye. The author's writing style is excellent and never defers from the language. The characters shine here as well.

Simplicity by [livejournal.com profile] emmileexo (Noah, implied Luke/Noah, PG-13): This is an incredible look into Noah's character and his struggles with his own sexuality and attraction to Luke. The pace is strong and it's beautiful in it's starkness. So beautiful without saying more than necessary. You follow Noah through his own discovery. You feel it with him though denial, angst, anger and in the end self-awareness and acceptance. It made me cry. Even if you don't follow this fandom, the story deserves to be read.

Stay by [livejournal.com profile] misslucyjane (Jack/Ianto): Written for a Valentine's challenge, this story could have fallen a bit toward schmoop but the author's wonderful characterization kept it out of that arena. The angst and pain from Ianto keeps the reader grounded in the reality that this relationship though good for them both is nowhere near perfect. The ending, however, is. I truly love this.

Up On the Roof by [livejournal.com profile] ladybugkay (Dick/Tim, Jack/Ianto): So when I saw the title and read the summary and saw it was a crossover, my mouth dropped open cause...DUDE! Batverse AND Torchwood! I wasn't disappointed. Not that I ever am reading any of Kay's work. The similarities in Jack and Dick's situations are/were just...there. I wouldn't have thought of them if not for this. AND how alike Tim and Ianto are...wow. :) It's so excellent. And even if you're not into one of the fandoms, it's still a great read. If you're into both, join me in the squeeing of it's fabulousness. EEEEE!

A Distinct Lack of Showers by [livejournal.com profile] cero_ate and [livejournal.com profile] prevyficgirl (Roy/Jason, R): This is so my favorite part of these author's Spaghetti Verse series. I love Jason. I mean, like I don't think I ever have in the comic. I love him for his patience here the most. I love Roy for all he's put up with and how irrational he can be. I adore Lian for being so young and so jaded. The characters are so rich and layered. Even if you don't follow any of the fandoms mentioned, it's still such a lovely read. I recommend the whole series but if nothing else, I highly recommend this part. It gave me the warm, happy tingles.

That's quite a list. I hadn't realized how many I had jotted down. :) Updates...tonite. Gods-willing. I'll have more. I'm in the mood. *shrug*

SPOILERS

And last -- all my General Hospital brethren...HOLY FUCK!!! DIEGO!!!! WHAT THE FUCK. I mean -- FUCKING DIEGO!!!! Did anyone know this?!! I hadn't read anything about that ANYWHERE. Ohmigod! Ohmigod! Ohmigod! I literally screamed out loud and [livejournal.com profile] wouldbedorothy came rushing into my room cause -- DUDE! He's supposed to BE DEAD!!!

*mouth still hanging open*

Seriously...GH. Win.

Diego!! I wondered who that was! I've watched GH for years, but I didn't recognize him. LOL. Why the hell is Diego the killer?! How did he die?
I'm loving that the original Carly is back as Claudia. Too funny that she hooked up with Sonny her first day back. I miss the days of Sonny and Brenda and Robin and Stone. *cue the song Memories* :)

Omg! Sarah = Awesome!

And YES! DIEGO! Fucking Diego!!! *still stunned*

From: [identity profile] freakykat.livejournal.com
Yep. Diego! He was Lorenzo Alcazar's son. He was shot and I thought killed by Sam, actually. I love that Sarah is back. She's so awesome. I used to love Sonny and Carly when she played her. Oh, for the days of S&B and Robin and Stone.

Good times.

are you kidding me? Diego? I think somebody mentioned this on a message board months ago, but nobody took it seriously. But you know there are supposed to be more than one killer. I don't see Diego killing Georgie. But Leticia, attempt on Carly and Sam yeah.

More than one killer would make sense. I also can't imagine Diego killing Emily. Didn't they used to date? I think they should have made the killer a woman. I nominate Maxie--she's mean enough. :)

It's just stunning that it's Deigo. He and Emily never dated but I think he might have trageted her due to Sonny, I don't know. I know he and Georgie had a kind of flirtation at some point so I don't know if he would have killed her. Plus when we saw her before she was found dead, she seemed to know her killer but wasn't like SHOCKED or freaked out to see them.

If it had been Diego, I would think she would have freaked considering everyone thinks he's dead! I think there are two killers. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Oh! I love Maxie! LOL! She's screwed up and I totally root for that. They can make it Lulu. I don't like her. *lol*

No joke. Diego! When he took off the mask, I almost had a heart attack! I had a feeling there might be more than one. That would be another cool, little twist.

Got it hand it to them. Took me TOTALLY by surprise.

I knew it was Diego. LOL!!!! A friend read spoilers and told me.

Well, see. DUDE! They took me totally by surprise. I don't even really buy the magazines anymore so I had like NO clue!!! *lol* I wasn't even meaning to watch, I just turned on and it was on the last segment so I stopped to watch and was like...o_O!

I knew because I still have friends who are still into the soap. So sometimes things slipped.

And hey, love your banner. :) Thought you would be into Torchwood!

Totally admit that I only watch the Liason scenes on youtube... and I've only been doing that for about 2 years now (since the ONS). So I really have no idea who Diego is. So yeah, I had one of those W(ho)TF is this moments, too. But, I read in a mag at the store that it's about his total obsession with Sam - I don't know how that explains Leticia or Georgie's death. I guess Emily could be revenge against Jason?

I don't watch either!*lol* April still watches and I've caught an episodes or two so I knew about the killings and all but it was like...I turned on the TV and it was on the show, and since it was the last segment I stopped to watch...and...o_O!

Well, he was Alcazar's son. Whose supposed to be ALL DEAD! So you know -- HOLY CRAP moment for me!

I guess...but I think there may be TWO killers. It seems more likely that way.

You're very welcome. I love how she writes them but that was really enjoyable.

Love your recs. I read Push and loved it, but I have no idea what fandom it is. i have never come across anything on Aussie T.V. that has these characters. Could you tell me the name of the show so I can Google and get some info. and pictures of them. Thanx.

From: [identity profile] freakykat.livejournal.com
Oh, absolutely! It's from a soap opera here in the States called As The World Turns. Luke and Noah are Daytime's first gay supercouple. The characters are played by Van Hansis (Luke) and Jake Silbermann(Noah). I included an icon just so you know what they look like. *lol*

There's an LJ community you can check out for them if you want. It has links to screencaps, vids, episodes, etc. [livejournal.com profile] luke_noah. And if you search LukeVanFan on youtube, it will bring up the account which has their whole story uploaded.

:)

Thanx so much for all the info, off to check it out. Probably going to end up with another fanfic addiction I fear.

Oh, I understand that! Luke's coming out story began about two years ago and I got hooked but I figured they'd have him on the show but not really give him a love interest FOR A LONG time.

But nope! *lol* Almost a year ago they brought in Noah and yeah -- HOOKED! *lol* Like I needed that!

I am, like, so proud of GH. It's been YEARS since they've managed to shock/surprise me. :)

It's a great story. [livejournal.com profile] wouldbedorothy is one of the best, if not THE best, Gale/Randy writer.
