10:10 am Songvid Oddities: Mary Poppins - Scary Mary Poppins
Vidder: Chris Rule and Nick Eckert
Musical artist: Caine Davidson; Richard and Robert Sherman
Pairing: None
Vidder on LJ: Unknown
Vidder's website: moviemker
Why this vid kicks ass: I have a gleeful love for songvids that are alternate movie trailers -- it's amazing how much difference the style of editing and a change of music makes! "Scary Mary" is the first one of these remixes I saw, and it's still one of my favourites. Brrrr. Julie Andrews is so unbelievably creepy in this.

10:35 am Accordo fra Gentiluomini [Gentlemen's Agreement] by Liriaen (R)
Fandom: GORGEOUS CARAT
Pairing: Ray x Florian
Author on LJ: Liriaen
Author Website: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1299605/liriaen
Why this must be read:

This piece is an absolute delight from start to finish, taking the Gorgeous Carat characters and placing them in Renaissance Italy where we discover that Ray still has a passion for jewels and a warped sense of humor, Laila's cooking is still suspect and Florian's never been as naive or helpless as he appears to be. One of the best stories in this fandom.

12:52 pm you may fall indeed by mardia (PG-13)
Fandom: GREY'S ANATOMY
Pairing: George O'Malley/Derek Shepherd
Author on LJ: [personal profile] mardia
Author Website: [personal profile] mardia
Why this must be read:

George and Derek is one of the strangest pairing you could have and yet them together makes one of the best Grey's Anatomy story I've read. It swaps Meredith and George around and it does it well, I was entertained and amused the whole story.

you may fall indeed

12:54 pm Knowing by Niceole (PG)
Fandom: GREY'S ANATOMY
Pairing: Addison Montgomery/Derek Shepherd
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: http://socalwriter.tripod.com/
Why this must be read:

I'm not a huge Derek and Meredith fan, so don't expect to see any recs of the sort, but I am an Addison fan and well, a well done Addison story can really have me loving anyone, and that's not to say that I really like Derek but in this story he's okay. Or at least learning how to be okay and I wish upon this this is how they had done it on the show.

Excerpt: She sighed, frustrated. "You said that you chose me. You said you wanted this marriage. I have given you out after out, and you stayed. So all I'm doing, Derek, is asking you to mean it. I can accept that you care about Meredith, even if it crushes me to think that my husband of 11 years could run off and... and fall for some stranger in a matter of months, no matter what I did to you. But all right... you care for her. But you chose me. And if you didn't mean it... if you don't want me, the person standing here right now... then damn it, you need to admit it, because I can't do this anymore. I just... I can't do it anymore."

01:40 pm Numb3rs/Stargate: Atlantis
Your Numb3rs reccer fell off the van and had to go crawl under a blanket and blow her nose repeatedly for a week, apologies for the absence. Thought I'd have a chance to do Crossover day yesterday, but it turns out the story I was going to point you at, [livejournal.com profile] dsudis's Classified, had already previously been recced. Damn my redundancy! I'm checking out Numb3rs/Supernatural crossovers now. Not that I am trying to find crossovers between our wee tiny fandom and the goliaths of fandom to bring in more fans. No no no.

01:48 pm Dumbstruck by Dira Sudis (rated NC-17)
Here, have a proper rec (if not a collision):

Fandom: NUMB3RS
Pairing: Don/Charlie
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] dsudis
Author Website: Words, Words, Words
Why this must be read:

I love all of [livejournal.com profile] dsudis's Numb3rs fic (and there's a lot of it! and not all incest, E-chan!) but this is one of my favorites. I love it for treating Charlie as special, because he's not like everyone else, you know? Charlie's a pretty well-socialized genius, but smart people often have odd coping mechanisms, and in this story, one of his is that under enough stress, he can't talk.

Also, Don is quite possibly the best big brother anyone could ever have. *squishes him*

Dumbstruck.

05:48 pm Inertia by Alex (NC-17)
Fandom: FAKE NEWS RPF
Pairing: Stephen/Anderson, Jon
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] dream_aloud
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] dream_aloud's memories
Why this must be read:

Inertia is a multi-chaptered fic in Stephen's narrative. It showcases Andy's vulnerability of getting too close to people and Stephen's desire to open him up. While the dialogue is fantastic and the Jon-Stephen friendship is portrayed realistically, what I love about this most is that it's about two normal people falling in love, starting from when they first meet and detailing their journey from there.

06:36 pm These Fears They Fall Away by them0rgue (NC-17)
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
Jason/Tim (mentions of Jason/Lyla and Tim/Tyra)
author on lj: [livejournal.com profile] them0rgue
author website: none that I know of
Why this must be read:

This fic will break your heart. It covers Jason and Tim's relationship in the summer leading up to the pilot episode, and it's a painfully realistic take on what a relationship between two closeted teenage football players in small-town Texas would really look like. Tim's characterization in particular is spot-on.

Jay stares down and then looks up suddenly, like there was a snap Tim missed. “Maybe… maybe after.” Jason’s eyes are wide and honest, like he’s never told a lie in his life. “After the season, we can.” )

06:53 pm Untitled Valentine's Day ficlet by SD Wolfpup (PG-13)
Fandom: SLINGS AND ARROWS
Pairing: none; Geoffrey and Anna gen
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sdwolfpup
Author Website: Wolfpup Serenade; other S&A stories via her tag on the S&A links delicious page
Why this must be read: Anna = Awesome.

So I'm reccing a ficlet, and not only that: a commentfic. But - it's Anna. I can hear her voice as I read this, and Geoffrey's too. This tiny storylet feels like canon, a little slice of the relationship between Anna and Geoffrey, with interesting echoes of Anna's relationship with Richard. In fact, it's a lot like one particular canon scene between Anna and Richard - but the differences are what make it meaningful.

No excerpt - it's only about 550 words.

07:16 pm The Twilight Series Overview
Step one to the Twilight fandom: Put all your other Vampire mythology away.

In Stephenie Meyer's vampire-verse, they don't die from sun exposure, your stake would shatter if you tried that method, beheading them is nice, but they can be put back together, garlic doesn't so much as make them sneeze, and one of them has a big ol' penchant for Jesus. Hence, crosses? Not a problem.

07:35 pm All My Light, All My Dark by lavitaestbella (pg-13)
Hi, I'm Kate and I'll be your Twilight reccer for this month. I'm sorry I had such a late start, but I had more work than I anticipated this month and so I haven't had time to rec until now. I am completely, totally Team Switzerland, so expect a lot of both Edward/Bella recs and Jacob/Bella recs. Hope you guys enjoy the stories!

Fandom: TWILIGHT
Pairing: Edward/Bella
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lavitaestbella
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] seededwomb
Why this must be read:
There is a common practice in Twilight fanfic to make Bella an idiot, Jacob a jerk (and sometimes a rapist) and Edward a perfect, sappy hero. This story doesn't do any of that. It's completely in-character and has some nice Edward/Bella moments with actual plot. This takes place right after Eclipse ends, and if this is what happens in Breaking Dawn, I will be very pleased.

10:24 pm Green Ice, by adina_atl (PG)
Fandom: Lord Peter Wimsey
Pairing: Gen
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] adina_atl
Why this must be read: It’s a Wodehouse/Wimsey crossover, and a delight from start to finish. Sayers never wrote the tale of Lord Peter’s first case, in which he solved the mystery of the Attenbury Emeralds and also met the young Detective Inspector Parker. Happily [livejournal.com profile] adina_atl has taken on the formidable task and given us not only one of the few Wimsey-fics of any notable length, but something clever, funny, and beautifully in character. Oh, and with Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, too.

What ho! )
