01:33 am Songvid Oddities: Dexter - Twist
Vidder: Trille
Musical artist: I Am Kloot
Pairing: None
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] special_trille
Vidder's website: vid tag
Why this vid kicks ass: This is a gorgeously edited character study, looking at the faultlines in both psyches and families, and the bloodshed they lead to. It's graphic, but fascinating.

04:10 am Slightly More Complicated Than That-Black-Eyed Girl(T)
Fandom: ENTOURAGE
Pairing: Eric/Vince, Eric/Sloan(past)
Length: 10,700wds
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] black_eyedgirl
Author Website: Fic Masterlist
Why this must be read: Because hello! Oceans 11 and Entourage are a match made in heaven for people who like their con artists and thieves slick, smart and beautiful(which I do). This was actually one of my prompts in the Entourage a/u fest and I couldn't be happier with this. Fun and twisty and good.

There are three rules. The first is: never mix business and pleasure. (And if you really must, then make sure you never mix business and love). They break them all the time, of course, but Ari really wishes E would stop doing all three at once.

10:43 am The Man In the Blue Suit by tellshannon815 (PG13)
Fandoms: LOST
Characters/Pairing: Jacob and ensemble
Length: 2520 words
Author on LJ: tellshannon815
Why this must be read: Because Jacob is awesome, and just because some of the Losties died before the end of season 5 doesn't mean that they didn't deserve a Jacob visit, too. This story does a fantastic job of imagining which moments Jacob would have chosen in the characters' lives and what he would have said had he visited some of our dearly departed characters. And just as he did in the visits we saw in teh season 5 finale, he subtly guides the characters towards their destinies on the island.

Excerpt:
"Well, if the boat's going to upset you that much," Jacob said, "maybe you should let it go, give it to somebody who's gonna use it."

Why this must be read: THE CRACK! My childhood-crack meets my adult-crack, as '80s pop culture invades Eureka!

It's been a long time since a fanfic made me this happy! So, read it -- it'll make you happy, too!

04:45 pm Primeval by Gaslight by Lsellersfic (U)
Fandom: PRIMEVAL
Pairing: Gen
Length: 6440
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lsellersfic
Author Website: Fic LJ at [livejournal.com profile] lsellersfic
Why this must be read:


[livejournal.com profile] lsellersfic is one of those writers with a wonderfully inventive and leftfield brain. In Primeval by Gaslight, she retells the first episode of the show in a 19th century setting, aided by letters, essays, notes and official reports. The story features the team we know and love, and also has a guest appearance from a certain Charles Darwin! The attention to detail is fabulous, the storytelling is witty and we still 'hear' our characters in the historical setting.

05:09 pm A Hand to Hold by jedibuttercup (PG)
Fandom: EUREKA
Pairing: Mainly Jack Carter/Tess Fontana, with elements of Jack Carter/Allison Blake and Allison Blake/Nathan Stark, in one big emotional mess
Length: 500 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] jedibuttercup
Author Website: Jedi Buttercup
Why this must be read: I really like this analysis of Jack's relationship with Allison right now.

He'd always care for Allison, but somehow, these few weeks of getting to know Tess Fontana--the part of him that had been bound up in the slightest gesture from Stark's once-and-future-wife for what felt like forever was letting go, little by little. Which, paradoxically, was making it easier to be there for Allison, be the supportive friend she really needed right now.

11:32 pm Songvid Oddities: Sin City - Sin
Vidder: Prodigi
Musical artist: "On The Stereo" by Psychopunch
Pairing: Various
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] prodigi249
Vidder's website: AMV Profile
Why this vid kicks ass: Let me just say this right up front: I have Issues with the misogyny and violence in Sin City. That said, I still find it visually compelling, maybe even because of the discomfort I feel when I watch it. This songvid captures both of those things perfectly: it provokes a really strong emotional reaction, but it's also one of the most amazing visual extravaganzas I've ever seen in songvid form.

Sin
Warning: Violence and death
