Oh, you give a fuckin' asprin a headache.

[hackthis_archive]

I've had caffeine. I'm a bit manic. Please remove all ankle-bitters, coffin-dodgers and easily offended people from the immediate vicinity. Right.

a) I know things are bad when I've been reduced to reading H/D for my reading stimulation. What the fuck, people?! Hook me up! Where are the reccs and the porn and the stories?! I admit I was out of circulation for a while cos I was otherwise occupied, but damn! What's a girl gotta do to get you people to write some shit? ethrosdemon and I are firm advocates of the If You Want to See it, Write it Your Damn Self School but I can't generate that much. I'll be writing myself obviously once my brain comes back on line and my finger's healed, but still, c'mon. Shit. I get my inspiration from you lot and you're not being very inspiring right now.

2) Go read pandarus Cairo Sunset. It's Bill/Severus with Severus/Lucius and post-war business and you know you want to, because you know and I know that pandarus' writing is the shit. Don't fake and pretend you don't want to read it either. I know you people!

3) After many moons and much difficulty, I finally have seen Layer Cake. Sweet Jesus almighty, I need to have Daniel Craig's babies. All of them. A hot man, with crazy blue eyes and a body to lick for days doing the gangster as James Bond thing without being all over the top. His body was like... there are no words. The hottest most amazingly built thing that I've seen in ages (cars included!) And the clothes. Oh my god, the clothes! Ozwald! Tom! His bum in those jeans! It was like one long orgasm. It was like watching Trade! Except with drugs instead of brothels, and no gay sex, but still. Violence! And clothes! And mad anxiety! It was like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels but better, unless you didn't like Lock, Stock in which case whatever, don't talk to me. Anyroad, Daniel Craig is too hot to be James Bond (he's rumoured to be the new 007). The screen would melt. Seriously, run, go, scarper and see this either at the cinema or on DVD.* Matthew Vaughn you are almost forgiven for your asshat casting.

It had Sienna Miller too, sadly, but nothing is perfect, and she was hardly a blip. Thank the gods.

Hmmm . . . okay well the only fandom I know much about is HP so thats what you get lol

Home is the Place Where (http://www.livejournal.com/community/genfic_hogwarts/32009.html?view=57609#t57609) by moireach and Carry Me Home (http://theguestroom.houseofhobbits.com/hp/Carrymehome.html) by mirabellawotr - both lovely dark gen fics about Harry and Petunia

How do you feel about incest? Keepsake (http://papermoon.velveteen.net/keepsake.html) by cursescar - It's Draco/Lucius precest and if incest isn't really your thing you can squint and ignore the hints that are there. I kept getting reminded of this story while I was reading Trade because in it Lucius is obsessed with clothing Draco so in the back of my mind your Draco's interest in fashion was mutated from this even though it doesn't fit cause Lucius is gone ;)

I'm a big fan of cursescar so two other fics by her that I loved - Noblesse Oblige (http://papermoon.velveteen.net/noblesseoblige.html) which is Draco/Krum and Eight Days a Week (http://papermoon.velveteen.net/eightdaysaweek.html) which is Draco/Arthur but really more like gen

More Draco because he is the best - Zen Taxi (http://icarus.slashcity.net/stories/zentaxi.html) by icarusancalion - Percy/Draco - masturbating in a cab yum

I'm pretty sure that you don't like Harry much lol and you said you're not a big fan of novels but I have to rec this cause you also said you like minimalism and reserve -

Tao of Job (http://home.earthlink.net/~percyfest/fic/job01.html) by mad_maudlin - Percy/Harry and if you don't like Percy don't run away cause I didn't like him much before I read this either. It's not terribly long - only about 50 pages or so and all the great stuff is going on between the lines and it's pretty angsty so you might dig it. I know I did.

Oh and I read Scottish Castles (http://www.livejournal.com/users/pauraque/188787.html) by pauraque the other day and got a kick out of it - short HP SV gen crossover

Hope you find something you like :D

I'm not really into incest, but I quite like the Petunia stories. I am currently reading the Krum one and shall move on to the Percy ones soon. As for the Harry thing, it's not that I don't like him inasmuch as I don't tend to like the way he's always depicted as being better than everyone else or above triviality and such. He's as much of a snot-nose brat as Draco, but no one ever calls him on it. Hermione though, no, her I just don't like full stop.

[literaryll.livejournal.com]

He's as much of a snot-nose brat as Draco - YES! He is a little brat and I get pretty annoyed with him being portrayed as this saint all the time too. Especially with H/D where people write him like he's Draco's saviour or something - all kind and compassionate. Ugh. He's self-pitying, reckless, stubborn, and throws temper tantrums and I love him that way. He's definitely flawed and bratty in Tao of Job so yeah read that.

her I just don't like full stop - LOL she can be hard to take

I'm glad that you liked the Petunia ones :)
