Interpret what you'd like, and while I'm not even sure this is slash, I would love to read a story based on this picture. A piece that captured the essence of S/K: simple, tender, and utterly perfect!

Title: The Hard Prayer
Author: Rheanna
Reader: Rheanna
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: John/Rodney
Categories: AU, angst, horror
Length: 3:10:44
Warnings: apocafic
Author on LJ:rheanna27
Website: Palimpsest
Author's summary: One year after the end of the world, John meets another survivor.
Review:
I've already recc'd the fic here, but then I found the podfic of this story, which is just as good and well-deserving of its own rec. The accent threw me off for a bit, I must admit, but I got used to it very quickly. The voicing is clear without being mechanical, the pacing is perfect, and the tone suits the story perfectly. Although I already knew what was going to happen in the story, listening to the recording was a whole new experience and made the characters more real.
If you've already read and loved the story, or if you've always wanted to read the story but never had enough free time, why not give this podfic a go on your daily commute: it even comes with a hopeful ending (unlike the traffic)!

Alrighty - for all my requests rec me slash. Gen only if it's fantastically brilliant, 'cause frankly I can watch tv for gen and het, I don't have to read it.
1st - Episode tags for Survival (S02xE22) and His Brother's Keeper (S02xE23).
2nd - Fics featuring Steven getting a look at Jim/Blair and generally him interacting with them. Don't rec me mean Steven, but a slightly jealous one won't be a bother.

Musical Artist: Ich + Ich
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing: Doctor/Master
Warnings: n/a

Review: From the Same Star is a very fitting name for a song about the Doctor and Master. Luckily, the vid lives up to the song choice. While I can’t speak up for the words themselves the vid clips match up beautifully with the songs subtitles.
The vid is a bit redundant do to the fact that many of the same video clips were used during the chorus but is still very engaging despite its redundacy.

Review: This is a fun vid that shows of the Master’s kooky humor very well. It concentrates on the ending of Doctor Who’s third season. I love the fast paced of both the vid and the song and the interaction between the Doctor and the Master.
It’s a little discombobulated and hard to follow if you’ve never seen the end of the third season but I still highly recommend it.

Title: With or Without You.
Music Used: With or Without You by U2.
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Pairing: Odo/Kira.
Warnings: None.
Vidder on Youtube: : northernstar24
While it may seem impossible to encompass the relationship between Odo and Kira through the seven seasons of DS9, northernstar24 shows that it’s not so. In this vid we get to see Odo and Kira literally from first to last encounter, with the evolution of their relationship in between. The end is a little bittersweet, as the series finale was, but the journey is certainly worth it.
Some of the original dialogue is kept through the vid, which in most cases is not something I enjoy, but here it is really put to good use, highlighting some key moments of the Odo/Kira and giving further power to the superb acting (René Auberjonois’s in particular) in many scenes. A wonderful treat for fans of the pairing.

Ok I've been struck by a craving to see if there was anything for any of these fandoms out there. Any if there is something I haven't read in the SG-1/District etc fandoms. Gen, Het, or Slash welcome.
I love crossovers and was wondering if there were stories out there that crossed TS with...
* any animes i.e. Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach, Monochrome Factor, or Gundam Wing to name a few.
* Queer as Folk (US version)
* Harry Potter
* House
* Mash or anything else rare
My requirements > must be well written. If slash pairing is J/B. No Death fics and no humor/parody fics.Happy endings. If the story is still WIP then the author is still updating and shows all signs of completing their fic. The longer the better.

I know it's not Wednesday, but I'm bored at work, so decided to post this early!
Sweet Science is the 50th episode of the show. It takes place about two-thirds into the third season, right before Remembrance. This is a great episode. A wonderful combination of case solving and relationships old and new. One thing I especially like is that we get to see a bit more of Blair’s world. The action starts in a boxing ring, with Blair and Jim in the audience. Blair is excited and analyzing the fight and Jim’s a little surprised that Blair is into boxing. Oh Jim, there are so many things you don’t know about Blair! The fight ends in early rounds.

I've been collecting Sentinel fan fiction for more than ten years but recently I lost or wiped out a compact flash card and I am trying to reconstruct what I lost. I've started going author by author at 852 Prospect to retrieve my lost fics.
Currently I am looking for a fic about Blair helping Major Crimes win a Cascade PD talent show by fronting a band.
Currently I am looking for a fic about Blair helping Major Crimes win a Cascade PD talent show by fronting a band.
My request is bit picky, but at the same time I don't have any specific story in mind - gimme anything that fits the requirements, a genre as a whole. So the fic should fit by these points -
# Slash. (Jim/Blair obviously)
# I'd prefer that Blair is somewhere safe and sound and that Jim's somewhere off and made believe that Blair's dead.
# Somehow/someway Jim is convinced that Blair's dead (the other characters don't matter that much to me, so they could believe or not)
#Uhm - Happy Ending?
#Don't rec a fic that's too dark (no actual character death, non-con, dub-con or stuff like that.)
Bonus if the fic is in AU where sentinels/guides are known.

This vid is hilarious, particularly the captions that separate the various parts.

Ianto Jones Diary - Torchwood AU
SORRY... I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO TAG A POST ! (I READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, BUT I DON'T FIND THE TAGS IN MY POST...)
Hi,
I have to ask for a favor...
I read a story in which Jim has the idea that Blair would be better off without him (I don't remember WHY): for instance, Blair could have gotten his doctorate, had Jim not been in his life (or so I seem to remember...) SORRY FOR THE LENGTH ; )
So, Jim is watching television on the couch, while Blair is sleeping (on the couch, too, if I'm correct); Jim then (dreams) Incacha (or a ghost? or a spirit?).
(Incacha) SHOWS TO JIM HOW BLAIR'S LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHOUT JIM: that' s sort of that Christmas tale by Dickens with the ghost of the past, future and present Christmases (sorry, don't recall the name, I'm not English/American...). I don't know if the story takes place on Christma time, but I clearly remember this thing with past/future/present.
I REMEMBER: BLAIR is in his study at the U, he's saying that he's all alone, and his colleagues laugh at him 'cause he could never find a way to sustain his theories about Sentinels (because he never found Jim...). Jim sees Blair has a gun and cries:"Don't, Chief": Blair whispers :" I heard something..." But then he doesn't hear anything anymore, because Jim can't be neither seen nor heard. Blair takes the gun and commits suicide.
In that instant, JIM IS IN THE LOFT, AND THE SPIRIT (INCACHA?) SHOWS HIM HOW WILL THE FUTURE CHRISTMASES BE IF JIM REMAINS IN BLAIR'S LIFE: an older version of jim and blair enters the loft carrying the groceries (I think), and they talk, smile...
Then Jim awakes on the couch and sees that tv screen is blank (or dark?!) and he understands.
I think this is a gen story, and I am enough sure I read it at: www.wolfpanther.com
... but I can't finr it anymore...!!! So clearly I can't remember very well WHERE I exactly read it...
I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP...!!!
I'm looking for a story where blair graduates from the police academy and he and Jim are going home to have sex and Jim is listening to some sports game using super hearing by listening in on other peoples radios and tv's and telling blair whats going on
one where blair and jim live in a small community after blairs paper gets out and jim finds out that alcohol dulls his senses enough so that blair can top him without his senses going haywire
one where jim and blair are having sex and jim says that in the army he was topped with guys of various ranks
they might even be by the same author but may brain is just stuck!

Hey guys! I just finished reading a story about Jim being a biker and had never read it before, I've lost it, and I KNOW I'm going to kick myself when you let me know the name and the author! But it's driving me insane. Panteras bikers, Blair teaching, Jim a biker but works cleaning at night at Rainier. Thanks so much!
I am looking for a fic I had admired and saved but lost. Jim and Blair go undercover to a party to catch a bad guy who likes guys dressed as cheerleaders so Blair dresses up as a cheerleader with the sweater, short cheerleader skirt and blue tights.
A summary (taken from a random delicious account): "Blair's a serial profiler with a deadly stalker coming after him. Jim is the bodyguard hired to protect him. Along the way, they learn to accept what the other is... and more"
I know Lussier's fiction was posted on a GeoCities site and that some of it was available through the wayback machine- this is, unfortunately, not the case with "Between". So if anybody know of another address or possibly has it saved – God bless you.
