Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Batman is a case unto himself and should always be called out. The NCIS:LA thing foster home was just so stupid and didn't work out in real world math that it tickles me to no end to see it here. Their manpain and bromance is so formulaic.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Batman is a case unto himself and should always be called out.

srsly. Question 1: Are you Batman?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The Batman was my favorite part, too.

Totally awesome STXI fic that I came across in the Star Trek Big Bang lj community: Graduate Vulcan for Fun and Profit.

Gen, pg-13. Author's summary: It really does take a village to raise a Jim.

Go, read, give the author lots of love.

Long plotty team!fic with a very cool backstory for Kirk, and wraps in some neat grey canon via the Rihannsu novels and other sources.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Oh, har! Both a Firefly and a Leverage shout-out.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm not unbiased, as the author is a friend of mine, but I wanted to rec a lovely Jo-centric fic. It's set sometime in S3, but it was very much informed by S5.

A question for those of you who are more experienced in reading fanfic than I am: when an author replies to my review of her fic and refers to me as "bb" what does that mean? I've seen it other places, and I gather from the context that it's friendly, but does it actually stand for something?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I think it's meant to be pronounced bébé, as that's the French for baby, and that's how the letters "bb" would be pronounced in French.

I could be wrong, though.
