01:09 am Clownfish by lysapadin [PG13]
Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Pairing: [Seigaku] Tezuka Kunimitzu/Fuji Syuusuke
Author: [livejournal.com profile] lysapadin
Website: n/a
Rating: [PG 13]

Why this fic must be read:

The things a fellow has to do to attract notice! Lysapadin takes a popular plot device and spins it on its ear in this light-as-air genderswitch comedy-romance, where Tezuka takes even longer than usual to act on his feelings. The dialogue is snappy and the structure is interesting enough to support its silly grin-inducing premise. Happy Christmas, 2007!

Clownfish.

01:05 pm Songvid Oddities: Multi-fandom Historical Epics - EpicKU
Vidder: Steakslim
Musical artist: Kenji Kawai
Pairing: None
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] steakslim
Vidder's website: None
Why this vid kicks ass: This is very, very violent, but then that's pretty appropriate for a songvid about war. Steakslim treads a difficult line here, between glorifying violence, and horrifying the viewer, and does it brilliantly. Even though "EpicKU" is very short, the balletic, epic grace of so much beautifully shot bloodshed builds to a climax that always leaves me both disturbed and uplifted, as well as remembering quotes about the middle ages, like: "It was a time of blood and roses."

05:42 pm And the Church Bells Softly Chime by Sascha (PG)
A very happy Christmas to you all.

Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Gen

Why this must be read:

This little gem was written for last year's [livejournal.com profile] yuletide challenge. It is a wonderful little character piece on Sam and Gene and their relationship told from the point of view of one of the other Manchester CID members, Chris.

It's a charming piece that always gives me the warm fuzzies. And it also has some killer lines.

08:04 pm About face, by Shimere (M/M implied only)
Fandom: Drake's venture
Pairing: Thomas/Francis
Author's LJ: Shimere277
Author's website: index of fics here!

Why this must be read: This is a canon angsty fic. No last-minute change of mind - Thomas is going to die and this story tells you why, and who were the men who conspired, more or less consciously, to kill him - or sent him to his death. The motivations are clearly exposed, the characters are true to themselves, Thomas Dougthie's presence pervades the whole fic - and he's not even here. The situation is seen from four different POV.

08:25 pm Death and axes by entropy_house (rated PG-13)
Fandom: Drake's venture
Pairing: Thomas/OMC
Author on lj: [livejournal.com profile] entropy_house
Website: B7 and otherwise

Why this must be read: You need comfort (especially if you read the fic I read just before this one). This is comforting - although not in the classical way. It's very short and it will make you very happy. And Fuck Francis Blake's goddamn stupidity. Others know better.

Death and axes
