12:10 am These Are The Days We Live Now by ElizaJane (Explicit)
This is, officially, my last rec of the week and the month. It's been nice driving the [livejournal.com profile] crack_van, but I've got to go and pick up [livejournal.com profile] calufrax and put together the Key of Time. I'm leaving you all with a recent New Who favorite of mine.

Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: Donna Noble/Idris (the TARDIS)
Length: 5487
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: AO3 profile
Why this must be read: Canon portrays the Doctor having a relationship of sorts with his TARDIS. But what if the TARDIS was interested in some of his companions? Donna wasn't interested in the Doctor, but maybe she was interested in Idris. This is a story of a doomed romance between them.

06:35 am University AU by onelittlesleep (NC-17)
Fandom: INCEPTION
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Length: 17k
Author on Ljhttp://littlesleepfic.livejournal.com/
Author Website: none found
Why this must be read:

University AU is just what it says on the tin, an AU with Arthur and Eames at university.  Arthur's crush on his roommate leads to a misunderstanding that leads into some outstanding porn.  And there is lots of plot and a very funny Eames background story as a privileged lord of the manor, etc., but really this is some seriously good (not campy or physically improbable) smut.  Which also explains why the podfic is so phenomenal to listen to.  It is all because it is read by Dodificus, who manages both plot and porn perfectly.  She is a podficcer of the first water and I say without hesitation that everything she records is excellent.

08:35 am City of Blinding Lights (R)
Fandom: THE SOCIAL NETWORK
Pairing: Mark/Eduardo
Length: 10549 words
Author on LJ: tashlae
Why this must be read: Mark goes on a road trip! It's a solitaire voyager, so a perfect slow rhythm, but poignant.

09:18 am VID REC: "Armed Bastards" by KatrinDepp (15)
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS (UK)
Pairing: Sam/Gene, if you want to (just like the show)
Length: 3:06
Author on LJ: -
Author Website: http://www.youtube.com/user/KatrinDepp?feature=watch
Why this must be viewed:

This vid was sent to me a while ago and though most of you might already have seen it, I cannot refrain from reccing it before someone else does. ;)

In my opinion, this is the perfect LoM video. It's got all the best clips from the show (including swimming trunks, rainbow underwear and so on) plus the timing and cut is absolutely stunning. The choice of music is so good, it's an instrumental only and the clips are cut to it to perfection. The selection of those clips and the combination and juxtaposition of scenes provides some very funny moments - well, all I can say is, watch it! Now! Watch it several times and send it to everyone who hasn't seen it yet (plus all the others, LOL).

01:21 pm Asenion by SidneySussex (G)
Fandom: AVENGERS FRANCHISE (MOVIEVERSE)
Pairings: None.
Length: 1,570 words
Author Website: Author on AO3
Why this must be read:

Programming is easy to corrupt.

This is a really interesting story about a defective warbot called Hawkeye and the man who sees beyond the broken shell. My only complaint is that this is too brief a glimpse of the interesting world that these characters inhabit.

05:57 pm VID REC: What About Everything by Happyme (G)
Fandom: BABYLON 5
Pairing: John Sheridan/Delenn, canon relationships, ensemble
Length: 3:50 min
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] _happyme_
Author Website: Happyme Productions

Why this must be watched:

Set to Carbon Leaf’s "What About Everything," this is the perfect bittersweet Babylon 5 fanvid. It’s Sheridan-centric, but stars the whole cast, with perfect choice of clips to fit the lyrics, especially on lines like "What about soldier battle scars and all the anger that they eat?" or "I think about being done, with no resume, with no one left to blame" or "What about your love to obtain?" It’s one of those vids that makes me feel vaguely like the song must have been written for the show, rather than clips from the show being fit into the song.

A lovely long case fic by hutchlover writing as Amye. As always she has the boys down to a tee, with some lovely gruesome details
Based on a true crime from the 1930's, HL has delightfully woven it around the boys.

10:34 pm VID REC: Who will love you? Who will fight?
Fandom: THE SOCIAL NETWORK
Pairing: Mark/Eduardo
Length: 2:29
Author Website: DailyPressure
Why this must be viewed: Check all her works: they are great! BTW was hard to choose a vid, there are very great works in this fandom. Well, I choose this, because it has more Mark's faces xD In 0:47 Mark is in awe of Sean (and Wardo! precious!Wardo), and in 1:20 how he's starting to really understand that this is the end. Beautiful, very beautiful.

Who will love you? Who will fight?
