09:35 am Millennia of Experience by Aluxra (Mature/Explicit)
Subject: Millennia of Experience by Aluxra (Mature/Explicit)
Fandom: Rise of the Guardians
Pairing: Jack/Pitch
Length: 6,177 words
Author Website: AO3

Why this must be read:

Jack seeks out Pitch as in many other Blackice works for a little taste of the darkness (in bed). What makes this different from others set up like this is that Jack isn't the first to have done so. In fact all the other Guardians have slept with / used Pitch at one point, as have many other spirits throughout the millennia, and Pitch has no qualms about sharing this with Jack after they finish. And in the sequel, Millennia of Suspicion, when Jack returns Pitch even throws it in his face to drive him off. There's also a WIP sequel to the sequel, which chronicles Pitch's encounters with the other Guardians/spirits before Jack (the Mother Nature one is best IMO).

Aluxra rates this work as Mature, but IMO if you know which appendage goes in which orifice it should be Explicit.

07:55 pm VID REC: STARSKY & HUTCH - Wiggle
Vidder: T.M.
Musical Artist: LMFAO -"Sexy and I Know It"
Length: 2:58
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] shfan
Vidder's Website: N/A
Why this must be viewed: because it’s by the talented T.M., and it showcases Starsky, with a great sense of humor.  T.M. does a wonderful job using LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It” – hers is clever and funny, and her choice of clips, her timing, rhythm, and choreography, are all fabulous.  And Starsky, of course, really *is* sexy.  If you need a Starsky fix (and even if you don't), watch this fun vid.

Why this must be watched:

It's from Vividcon! If I really need to say more, this's a great look at how Jack's been up and been down, and came out on top in the end. As the lyrics (by Imagine Dragons) say, "I coulda gave up then but // Then again I couldn't have 'cause // I've traveled all this way for something."

10:56 pm Tangled Destinies by Keira Marcos (M)
Fandom: STAR TREK: REBOOT
Pairing: Kirk/Spock
Length: 167854 words (total)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] keiramarcos
Author Website: Keira Marcos
Summary: Spock convinces his father to move to Earth after refusing to bond with T’Pring. The consequences of this change the dynamics of his family and sets him on the path that will lead him directly to James Kirk.

Why this must be read: Keira Marcos is a pretty polarizing author in fandom. Personally, I think she writes crack. Magical, addicting crack. And since that's what we're here for, I'm rec'ing her only Star Trek series, Tangled Destinies. I'll warn off the bat for overpowered!Kirk, but Keira is an amazing author so if you don't mind (or enjoy) that kind of thing this is a must read series.

Basically, Spock and Kirk meet when Spock and his family move to Earth instead of staying on Vulcan when Spock is a kid. What follows is a lengthy romance, some interesting political manoeuvring, and many adventures.

While there is more to come in the series, the first arc is completed and can stand as-is.

Why this vid must be viewed: This is actually my favorite vid ever. It's everything I love about TOS (and the movies) summed up with a great song. The editing is fantastic (as is true of all Reese's vids) and the flow is incredible; it's a real tribute to the original crew and their adventures.
