Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

They will sail on nothing.

Clint Barton and Phil Coulson have never been in the same shot together, but that doesn't stop us.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

In book-canon, Sandor is 30. They age everyone up on the show, the adults much moreso than the kids (Jaime and Cersei are about my age. Nikolaj and Lena are not. Sean Bean REALLY isn't). And, looking at the wiki, there's only 2 years difference in the age gap between the two ships, which is freaking me out a little bit.

Yeah, I remember re-reading Book I and being surprised when it mentions Ned Stark is only 36. It made some of his decisions a bit more explicable, at least.

If I only had a brain...

Sailaweigh, I think the Gondal series isn't doing what you think it's doing.

Disclaimer: You do not have to have fun, there is no reason you should have fun, your fun is not my fun and that's okay.

The series is strongly, STRONGLY Johnlock, with Sherlock/John OTP. The title character is Sherlock's wife, married for strictly dynastic reasons.

I may take another look at it some time in the future. It's been recced by others and I do like epic stories. The big problem with the Sherlock fandom is it's just so huge! There's tons to read and even when I mark stuff for later on AO3, the stories get lost way down in the queue, which I then forget about until someone else recs the story.

Oh, yeah. My to-read queue from Yuletide alone is brutal.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yuletide, and when PolyRecs updates.

My problem is I'm working my way back through an LJ comm of Sherlock recs. I'm on week 131 (it posts every Sunday) and that's from April of 2013, so I have a loooong way to go to check them all out. And that's even with me having found quite of few of them independently. Not that it makes me sad! But my kindle is getting pretty full of unread stories, because the longer, more epic ones get loaded on my Kindle for night time reading and the shorter/medium ones either get read right away or marked for later. No matter how long the current Sherlock keeps running, there will be fic to read for years.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Has Yuletide been posted this year? If so, could someone post a link? Thanks!
