Sentient Toasters! Chore Charts! Souped up Roombas!

Okay yes it's probably inadvisable to rec a story before you are totally done reading it, but really. I have totally laughed my ass off at this one already and that's quite a feat, since there's a plethora of fluff back there to laugh off.

Some things shouldn't be a chore by SciFigirl 47

Steve takes things like personal responsibility and respect seriously. Tony's got people he pays to take care of that kind of thing, and anyway, he's pretty sure that he's going to die of some exotic disease in his workshop, because Dummy's still a little spotty about what is 'clean' enough to put on an open wound. The rest of the Avengers are in this for personal gain, except for Clint, he just enjoys being a dick.
And some things shouldn't be a chore.

I just spent the last few weekends catching up on a few marvel and Dc movies, watched the first 15 eps of Arrow and Agents of Shield. I've just started reading some in the Marvel universe, read some Tony/Pepper, Tony/Steve, Tony/Bruce, Oliver/Felicity, Diana/Steve and some FitzSimmons. Anyone out there have any recs, or any rec pages they like for Marvel and/or DC fic?

Just finished the last ep of The Finder, which I think was an awesome show that should have gone longer than it did . Only the way they ended the last episode sucked hairy frog legs! Mmph! And I can't find any fanfic that fixes it! :-(

Okay just one more Wonder Woman rec and then I must away to sleep so I am not a complete zombie at work in the morning.

That Man (to me) Seems Equal to the Gods

Just the right mix of smutty and amusing, really made me smile!

I'm sure there are a few out there who enjoyed Wonder Woman, and who also might need a fic fix about now. I recently read Errant Heat To the Star, really well written interlude between Diana and Steve. Go read it and tell me what you think!

Also, if you've read any that you've enjoyed, hit me up with a link!

Went and saw Wonder Woman with a couple of geeky friends and really loved it! All I can say at this point is that I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of Ficcers. That's all, you that have seen it know why, those who have not, I won't spoil it for you.

Loved how strong she was, even when people were busy trying to make her more acceptable. Great movie, give it a look see!

Post season 6, I really like this Gilmore Girls fic. Luke and Lorelei's relationship has already gone to heck in a handbasket, but now Luke has lost another important person in his life and breaks down. Lorelai, though hurt, can't help but be drawn to help him.

So I found a few stories already I feel compelled to rec after being sucked into Gilmore Girls by the evil Netflix.

One, The Soundtrack series by Meags09, A collection of one-shots about Luke and Lorelai inspired by a song from that episode. I really enjoyed every single one of these, especially the last one. And the second to last one. And..

Two, Messages by Vatrixta. The summary reads "You've reached the Gilmore residence. Speak if you must.", and to me this shows the difference between her relationship with Christopher and her relationship with Luke.

And Three, Spoons by Leli1013.. Summary: Five times Emily sees how close Rory is to Luke, and one time she accepts it. This one really tugged at my heartstrings!

Now I am off ! If any of y'all have read in GG, please rec me a fic or two!

Sheesh.

2016-12-17T20:23:43Z

Okay, possibly it was an error on my part to switch from the dvd plan on netflix to the streaming netflix because I am spending ALL THE FREETIME watch Gilmore Girls from the beginning and trying to surf the net for good Luke/Lorelai smut. Like I needed more ways to not be doing housework! lol

Not sure why The Body Electric by Molly, aka Merry doesn't have a crap ton of kudos on it. Maybe people haven't run into it there? SG1 and the Clone!Team from Double Jeopardy. Awesome little story!

Here's one of my favorite fic lines:

"Okay," John says, calm and easy, and then, because he's fundamentally an asshole, "but I expect some of that incredible sex as soon as this brain damage clears up."

Punk is so dang funny.

I received my apple peeler/corer/slicer from the internetz and it rocks! So much faster and no profuse bleeding since I do not have knife skills. Another plus, it's *way* faster! :-) I'm making up another batch of yummy applesauce in my slow cooker since I ate all of the batches I previously cooked. Mmm!

I have about a bazillion apples on my little tree in the backyard, so I decided to make applesauce in my slow cooker after spending way too much time Pinteresting. lol After a few minor injuries (since I really can't be trusted with any sort of sharp object unfortunately), I had a small batch going. Oh my gosh! I've made 3 small batches, trying out different additions to see what I like. Lordy my house has smelled good this weekend! I think my favorite batch had cinnamon, clove, brown sugar, powdered vanilla, and a small swirl of maple syrup in it, as my apples are quite on the tart side.

I totally need to get myself one of those corer peeler slicer thingys.

Mmmmm.

So if you see a fic with zero hits and one kudo on AO3, does that mean that no one has looked at it and the author kudo'd him/herself?

Take These Broken Wings

2016-06-01T02:23:00Z

Started in on re-reading Synecdochic's Take These Broken Wings series and had forgotten how utterly spellbinding I find her work. I am bleary eyed, starting in on the 6th story and can't believe how deep she goes in on her characters and her plots. That girl is a flat out wonder.

Godless Provenance

2016-05-22T04:50:58Z

So I'm now partway through a so far kickass story, Godless Provenance. It's a Buffy the Vampire Slayer/ SG1 crossover, and I am loving it! The author has a good handle on the smart assery of both Buffy and Jack, and all the characters are really ringing true. I suspect I will be up way too late trying to finish this story and will look like the undead in the morning from not enough sleep, but I fear I cannot put this one down. It starts off at the end of the Glory story arc, with Buffy jumping off the scaffolding through the portal to her death, and finds herself emerging on the other side of a Stargate. Hijinx ensue!

So have any of y'all been watching the Xfiles reboot? I have... I decided this evening to visit Ephemeral again and see what fic might be lurking, if any authors I might recognize from the past and saw a nice DashaK fic. What a nice surprise! Just as lovely as always.

What do you think of the new eps so far? Anyone read any interesting fic?

I normally go for the smutty stories first, but boy am I glad I decided to give this NCIS story a try!

Letters From Tony

Summary:

Reading Tony's letters might tell us a lot about him and what he thinks of the team and the job.

It kept me up way past my bedtime, little insightful peeks into Tony's past and present through letters he's written. I really loved this story, hope some of you will enjoy it as well!

I don't know if any of you have read and loved the Seanan Mcguire Incryptid series as much as I have, but I happened across a couple fanworks based on that world featuring the aeslin mice. Love them!

Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering about fanfic writers who have stuff published. I know that Xanthe has a published book, so does Keira Marcos. Seanan McGuire has lots of stuff published, and she was/is a fanfic writer as well (although I'm not positive what the fandom was). Do y'all know of other fanfic authors who've published books? I might just find some new stuff to read, even though I have an enormous stack already. You can't have too many books after all.

The conversation in Gaelic at the end of Outlander's finale between Jamie and Murtaugh was niggling at me, and I finally found a translation:

J: "How can I be left to this pain?"
M: "We shall do our utmost to heal you."
J: "Some things don’t take healing. As is my desire, put an end to this now."
M: " I’ll suffer no more of this."
J: "I won’t get past this. Will you force me to beg?"
M: "I gave a promise to your mother - peace on her soul - that no harm would come to you."
J: "Late is the hour, oh godfather."
M: "And Claire? Would she just be a widow, forsaken? Your head’s in the porridge (you’re not thinking straight). You haven’t a single thought for her."
J: "I haven’t a single thought of anything but her."

- Jamie & Murtagh, Outlander 1x16. 😭
