My niece has started watching Supernatural. She is only in season 2 (near the end).

Problem 1: Season 1 and 2 seem so far away. I am struggling to remember what happens outside of: "ARGH! Jess is dead! ARGH John is dead." before it became "ARGH!!! Dean is going to hell!" This saddens me. I may have to rewatch season 1 and 2. Drat. *hehehehehe*

Problem 2: So much of my saved 'fanart', 'funny pics' have Cas in them. It boggles the mind that my niece doesn't know Cas yet. He's become so integral to the show.

Problem 3: I have almost zero age appropriate, non-season 3 spoilery fanfic to recommend O.o

I love this vid so much. Their story from start to end. Beautiful music (I LOVE Sleeping at Last), wonderful editing, so poignant and heartfelt.

LOVE it!! Makes me want to cry

When I was younger (as in a teenager or even pre-teen), a friend of mine asked me once why I had so many books, That was two bookshelves and a kindle ago, and my answer was youthfully simplistic - So that I could read them again.

Going through my tumblr this evening I have realised:

1. I reblogged ALOT of Daredevil gifs. I mean alot
2. I miss SGA so much
3. I kinda missed out on Hobbit movies 2 and 3 gifs, cos I have none
4. Honest, I think you could recreate the entire first season of Daredevil just from gifs on my tumblr
5. Chris Evans is undeniably hot
6. I miss Buffy
7. I think I ship Han/Leia

.... and then I accidently closed my tab, knee deep into the oodles of my many many tumblr pages. *headsdesk*

One evening of writing lost... to tumblr

Whilst searching for good gen Teen Wolf fic I saw this fic bookmarked and was drawn in by the premise:

Title: To Find Out Long Forgotten Gold
Author: Wealhtheow21
Premise: AU of movieverse. It is many years since tragedy struck the line of Durin when the youngest heir was lost to a pack of orcs. Now Bilbo Baggins, having agreed only to stealing treasure from a dragon, finds himself instead tangled up in a web of tragedy and revenge. Perhaps it's foolhardy of him to get involved at all, but really, someone has to try and keep these dwarves out of trouble. As for the rest, well, what is lost does not always stay lost forever.
Chapters: 39
Part of a series: Yes!! Hurrah

ramble about how I got there )


Oh. My. Word! Incredible. Utterly, utterly incredible. Long, detailed, true to the classic form, and so so much powerful emotion. It was the perfect fic to read (and also not). Perfect because it was so so good, and but also not because it set such a high standard and now that I am looking for more fic to read... well... there is very little that I have found that meets that same standard.

but but, no need to fear, because the delightful wealhthowe21 has created a series and continued past the AU movie into sheer post the movie AU-ness and its all just so wonderful. Alas, she hasn't written anything new for a year, and I am assuming she is she, but gosh, its wonderful.

If you have a couple of days and you find the idea of an incredible, emotional AU of a hurt!Kili reconnecting to his family and Bilbo with a fix-it to the Hobbit movies intriguing, read this. You won't regret it. *three thumbs up!*

Title: Supply and Demand 4: Scarce Skills 5/?
author: [livejournal.com profile] tari_roo
Rating: Gen – PG13
Disclaimer: I own nothing and profit from nothing. But if I did, SGA would still on air and Dean would have super powers.

Summary: Life on Atlantis is about to get very interesting as the Trust launch their newest plan. Good thing Dean is still on board, as the 'interesting' gets weird… fast.

Warnings: This is AU for SPN season three onwards and set post season five. No real spoilers for either series but you should really know them both (and now with handwaving of timelines and stuff)

Author note: I'm a little bit nervous about this chapter. I don't usually recommend listening to specific music tracks to fics. I know writers like to share what they were listening to when they wrote fic and I usually ignore it. However, this time, I do recommend queing up the song mentioned in this chapter and listening to it as you read the last part. The reason I'm nervous is that I don't generally like song-inserts in fic myself (even though I did it in Here Tomorrow) and now I've done it again. No apologies though, it fit the scene and Dean, so I went with it. Your comments and thoughts are as ever appreciated.

Title: Snow Fire and Storm Raven – 1/2 (Hawaii Five-0, White Collar and Avengers Raksuran Fusion)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] tari_roo
Rating: Gen – PG13
Disclaimer: I own nothing and profit from nothing. The beautiful world of the Raksura belongs to Martha Wells (and I can't get enough of it), White Collar, Hawaii Five-0 and the MCU belong to their respective people. However, if I did own anything, or even a share of anything, Neal would visit Honolulu and visit Mozzie there, while the two Steves gave Danny grey hairs.

Summary: As a consort Danny had few worries. Make sure Grace and Charlie were safe. Keep Steve from acting like an adolescent warrior. Hope that Elle and Peter didn't trade him to another Court. When Natasha, a sister Queen from Storm Raven approaches the court for an alliance, the hopeful at Snow Fire dream of future alliances. Steve, the most paranoid Consort ever, sees only plans to steal him.

Warnings: None, really. You don't have to know the Raksura and the three worlds, but it will help. None of the original characters from the Raksuran cycle will appear. This is an AU fusion only.

Author note: I debated about the names. I've read Raksuran fusion fic where the author renamed the characters with more appropriate Raksuran monikers, but as a reader I struggled to follow who was who. So I decided to keep the characters original names and for the die-hard Raksuran fans, just handwave it. This fusion is also directly [livejournal.com profile] saphirablue's fault. Oi, stop sharing your bunnies, please. This is also dedicated to her. More notes and a summary of the two courts at the end of Part 1 and 2.

Title: Better – Now
Author: [livejournal.com profile] tari_roo
Disclaimer: I own nothing, I profit from nothing and Marvel owns this lovely playground. If I did own anything or have any say in the matter, the red suit would be as skin tight and awesome as the black one.
Rating and warnings: Gen, mild swearing. No warnings bar being a little shippy.
Summary: Set post season 2, immediately following on the closing scene of Matt and Karen. Karen's headspace and wrapping her mind and heart around the emotional quagmire that is Matt Murdock.

Author's note: I wouldn't exactly class this as fix-it fic as I more wanted to explore the possible reactions and thoughts Karen would have post identity-reveal. We probably won't get this on-screen in season 3, and will go straight to aftermath and while the romantic in me is hoping for this outcome, its not a given.

This song is currently one I love to listen to and often find myself singing in random moments.

I first came across it in my quest for a good Flash vid and found this Barry Allen vid:
hidden for space: The Flash )

My next find was Teen Wolf:hidden for space: Teen Wolf )

I found a multifandom vid:hidden for space: Multifandom )
Then, to the two who (so far) fit the song best. Bucky Barnes and Matt Murdoc.hidden for space: Bucky and Matt )

Please feel free to comment with your own 'I'll be good' fanvid recs :)

In a nuthshell: I really enjoyed it.
Overview: It wasn't as cool as Days of Future Past (give me dramatic time travel anyday) but it was still great. I kinda like how the franchise has rebooted itself without actually 'officially' rebooting. Special effects? Great. Drama and Action? Great. Less angst than I feared? Thumbs up. It was a really good installment and I appreciate the self-reference to third movies being awful, but Return of the Jedi is my fav Star Wars *rolls eyes*

Of the three big superhero movies this year, I still love Civil War more (the best). X-Men handily beat Batman v Superman. By far. The rest of my review is a series of letters I semi-composed during the movie and on the drive home, (and in the bath)

Dear Flash Writers/producers

click for some spoilers )

Dear DC writers/movie producers/people

Marvel - is kicking your ass. Stop being so serious! Stop trying so hard. Civil War pwned you. X-Men has now pwned you. Do better!

Dear Marvel people

Please, please don't ever try and smoosh X-Men into Avengers. NO matter how cool it might seem. Just leave it. The marvel comic verse is confusing enough - lets leave Avengers and Fantastic Four and X-Men in their own movies verses,,, kay.... just, stop calling people in the MCU enhanced. They are mutants, kay?

When you have spent the weekend reading long fanfic and your to do list remains undone (even the ridiculous item on it about getting yourself more updated userpics like TeenWolf and Cap ones (cos you lost your other Cap ones)) and it's Monday tomorrow and all you want to do is stay in bed one more day and write that TW AU that's been bugging you ALL weekend.

Also a rec:

Lost Boys Don't Cry

Ridiculously long and good.
tari_roo: Dean (hey there.)

I liked it. I must admit I was pleasantly suprised.

clicky click )


Still, I liked it.

tari_roo: Dean (Thor)
I am delightfully, happily and inordinately pleased :)
That was amazing!
spoilers galore )

I am so seeing this again!
tari_roo: Dean (Noooooo)
... And there isn't any more.

I don't read a lot of fic these days, but on the weekend I had a hankering for some good gen h/c, without any smut or pairings or gross stuff, and I ended up browsing the favs and bookmarks of authors I like and I found a teenwolf Scott h/c fic series. I may have read two teenwolf fics previously and there are not a lot of Scott-centric fic out there. I am also behind in my watching of the show, so this older fic, set mid season 3 was perfect.

And as I read it, it grew more perfect. Incredible h/c, just the right amount of angst (i.e. minimal), drama and a really really good plot. There were 3 installments to the series, it was complete and ... just perfect.

I finished it last night and now... there is no more. She wasn't written anything since. Not just no more Teenwolf fic, no fic at all. And that... that is so frustrating and annoying. Finding an author who likes your buttons and writes well, in-character and whump... sigh... and there is no more. So sad. so so sad.

I do realise the irony, especially, considering I have WIPs in need of completion too... it is not lost on me. Nonetheless, I yearn for more good fic.
