03:57 am Songvid Oddities: Kingdom of Heaven - Kingdom of Heaven
Vidder: Jake Productions
Musical artist: The Battle of Kerak, Crusaders, Breached, and Burning The Past by Harry Gregson-Willaims
Pairing: None
Vidder on LJ: Unknown
Vidder's website: PowerMonkey Studios
Why this vid kicks ass: It's hard to pick what I love most about this songvid. It's gorgeous; it's epic; it's got heart-pounding action. But the thing that stands out for me is that the music has no lyric, and yet there's such a sense of drama conveyed through the editing.

Fandom: AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 8
Pairing: Adam Lambert/Kris Allen
Length: 25k

Author Website: Fic Master List
Why this must be read:This fic stayed with me for a while after I read it. It's one of my favorites of the longer Kradam future-fics. I had a very easy time picturing the scenes as I read. The dialogue is great, and the sex is pretty hot.

01:15 pm Ice and Air by clarkoholic (Explicit)
Fandom: EUREKA
Pairing: Jack Carter/Nathan Stark
Length: 5,508 words

Why this must be read: Jack is caught in a mutant tornado, which makes him rapidly deteriorate. The only solution Global Dynamics can suggest is to put him in a cryogenic freeze until an antidote is found. A cure is eventually discovered--forty-seven years later. Jack, however, isn't the only one to find himself unexpectedly in the future: Nathan rematerialized five years earlier.

I like the parallels between Jack and Nathan in this fanfic. I think [livejournal.com profile] clarkoholic has created the rare situation where Jack/Nathan is actually possible, since they are literally the only ones who can understand what the other is going through and empathize with each other. This story has a bittersweet tone, with just the right amount of hope at the end.

05:52 pm Primeval, the Role Play by Ethelfleda (15)
Fandom: PRIMEVAL
Pairing: Gen (some Nick/Stephen hints)
Length: 16 comic book eps
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ethelfleda
Author Website: None
Why this must be read:

I've no idea whether you categorise this as fanfic or fanart – but who cares? It's hilarious! [livejournal.com profile] ethelfleda has turned the first episode of Primeval into role-playing comic book form. So we have badass Stephen, Nick fixated on dino-hos, long-suffering Ryan, no-nonsense Claudia and overseeing it all a game master who would clearly like to bang all their heads together . . .
