I WANT MY ZYTEC
Sep. 18th, 2008 10:08 pmWHAT SUCKS: Having an allergic fit when you're all out of antihistamines. Since the last half hour, I have been full of snot, my eyes are red, itching and burning like hell, my throat feels congested and I have to sneeze my lungs out every three seconds. DAMN YOU NERO AND YOUR OMNIPRESCENT DUSTY FUR.
WHAT DOESN'T SUCK: Having awesome, awesome fic to read. And the thought of so many season premieres (SPN! DEXTER!) up soon, 99.8% of which I will not be able to actually watch, but I look forward to enthusiastically spoiling myself on the internets for them anyways :Db
...I FORGOT WHAT ELSE I WANTED TO SAY, SO HAVE SOME FIC RECS INSTEAD:
(SPN) Revelations, by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marinarusalka. Summary: AU. Veteran FBI agent Victor Henriksen isn't at all happy when a rookie ATF agent horns in on his investigation of a possible serial arsonist. Still, Agent Winchester's forensics expertise does come in useful. But as the clues and the bodies pile up, Victor begins to suspect that his new partner knows more than he's telling about the case.
Such a fun, gen romp! Loved the Henriksen perspective, and the differences and similarities in this Dean Winchester :D
(SPN) Steam, bybellatemple. Summary: Dean was supposed to get a year, and then go to Hell. Instead, as far as he was concerned, he got most of a year, and then Hell came to him.
SPN STEAMPUNK AU! Very nicely written, the sense of mystery about Sammy and the tension in the first few parts was superb. And Dean as a tinkering mechanical genius, what's not to love about that?? The graphics that go with the story were also ace.
(SPN) Captured by the Game, byrivkat. Summary: AU. Azazel has given his favorite son a task: worm his way into the confidence of a hunter. It sounds simple, but Dean Winchester just might be more than Sam can handle
SO. DAMN. GOOD. I mean, I loved her SV stuff loads too, back in the day and this was just fantastic. Seeing all the little differences this AU makes in canon storyline and the characters and akjhkfj I must admit, it features a confession scene that will probably be right up there in my most favorite love confessions/admissions of all time. *clutches hands to chest and SIGHS*
(IM) Accountable, byquigonejinn. Excerpt: Here is the point of departure: Tony does not wait until after he has had the press conference to ask Rhodey to help him.
Basically, everything quigonejinn and co. write about Iron Man is fucking gold, and this recent fic is no different. AU, as seems to be the theme of this post, and utterly heartbreaking in a way that slowly creeps up to you when reading. THAT LAST LINE. I just. Ahjksdfh oh, Tony *SOBS* ;___;
(HP) Quality of Mercy Chapter 30 (END), bymistful
IT'S FINALLY COMPLETED!! Holy shit, yesss. And what an end that I see is already causing some kerfluffle on the HP fen side of things? I dunno, but I really liked it nonetheless, maybe even for the reasons that some people are raising such a fuss about. Basically, KAT GO READ IT AND COME TALK TO ME ABOUT EET.
IN CONCLUSION: Heyyy, my allergy fit seems to have died down in the half hour it now took me to write this entry. SCORE *sniffles*
