Why this vid kicks ass: Another recent trend in vidding has been multi-fandom vids which explore a particular theme, often related to kink bingo cards. Today's rec is [livejournal.com profile] such_heights's gorgeous essay on hands. It will make you yearn to reach out and touch someone.

Why this vid kicks ass: I would never in a million years have thought I'd love a songvid about amputees. But OMG, Isagel brings it, and I totally do. I really can't do justice to this vid in words, just believe me that it's worth it and click on the link. Go on. Shoo.

12:10 pm Today's Not a Good Day For This by havocthecat (PG)
Fandom: EUREKA
Pairing: As gen as a bodyswap fic can be.
Length: One-shot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] havocthecat
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] havocs_cry
WARNING: Some discussion of "women's issues," if you can't deal.
Why this must be read: Three-way bodyswap fic is always better than two-way AND it's totally within the realm of possibility in Eureka canon AND, if it did happen, it would happen to Jack/Allison/Nathan AND it *would* be Fargo's fault.

This story is so good, it made me forget how to punctuate!

01:47 pm Once and For All by Vejiraziel aka Plantman.exe (NC-17)
Fandom: TRANSFORMERS
TF Continuity: SG
Pairing: implied Sunstreaker/Sideswipe, Cyclonus/Sideswipe, Blaster/Soundwave
Length: about 10,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] martinicruiser
Author website: Abnormal Gravity
Why this must be read:

Summary: Left for dead after a battle, Sideswipe is taken in by the Decepticons, but his thoughts still linger around one of the Autobots.

The Shattered Glass universe is lovingly portrayed in all its twisted glory: the evil Autobots are particularly evil, the noble Decepticons practically out-Optimus G1!Optimus Prime. It starts out a little slow but it goes galloping along soon enough: betrayal! angst! horror! torture! death!

(For those unfamiliar with Transformers backstory, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are twins, so the implied pairing could technically be considered incest...)

05:26 pm Anomaly on 15th Street by Barefoot-Starz (FRT)
Fandom: PRIMEVAL
Pairing: Nick/Stephen, Connor/Ryan
Length: Seven parts
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] barefoot_starz
Author Website: None
Why this must be read:

There are AUs and there are AUs. This one hurtles in from far out in leftfield – our favourite men and women working in a brothel (there's a lot of black leather attire around!), and Helen, who's the brothel owner, being thwarted all down the line …

Part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7

10:17 pm First Love by Sarah Baker [PG-13]
Fandom: FOREVER KNIGHT
Pairing: general
Length: 7550 words
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: fanfic archived here

Why this must be read: A Forever Knight episode has a fairly simple setup: Nick and Schanke (or Nick and Tracy) investigate a homicide, while something pertaining to the case causes Nick to reflect on a similar incident or theme from his 800 year history. This story could be eased in quite smoothly into season 2 canon, especially where the interaction between Nick, Schanke and Natalie are concerned. The reader gets a very entertaining story involving a young witness' infatuation with Nick and a flashback to Nick's first love when he was young and mortal. How can you resist a story with teenage!Nick? There aren't a lot of stories that can claim an appearance by young Nick and this one delivers in spades.

10:44 pm Transformers/Top Gear (PG-13)
My last rec was a teeny bit depressing, so here's a little something to make you smile:

Title: Gearheads by Tainry
TF Continuity: 2007 Movie (not 2009/ROTF compliant)
Pairing: Sam/Mikaela, various 'Bots (implied)
Length: approx. 1,600 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] tainry
Author website: Borealis AU Table of Contents
Why this must be read:

Summary: The Autobots like to MST3K Top Gear.

As I mentioned before, this fandom tends to produce serial standalones that build to a large epic... This is (another) one of them--don't despair at the 5/71 part number! Each part is complete, and this one can stand alone, I promise. Also, the series is up to 55/80 at this point, and she updates regularly. This crossover is from early in the Borealis AU, and it is a scream.

tl;dr? )

Gearheads
