Jayne ,'Objects In Space'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
Especially on a man. For men, it is like, "He was not bald, but he was not a member of Guns 'n' Roses." Draw your own conclusion.
But then you miss this, this, not to mention this, the variety here, or the beauty here.
Women's hair? Call me prejudiced, but a little less ... involving.
ita, there is only so much description a julius casar haircut can take before bursting into flames on a man's head.
...which event, in itself, would require lots of description!
If all men had caesars, I might agree with you.
I'm amused by the way you fit two links into the word "this." So much hypertext, so little text! I bet Dennis Rodman has had russet, auburn, dark blonde, dark brown and silver and gray locks -- though even he probably didn't have them all at the same time.
I don't even have to look at that picture to tell you that's not what Michael looks like.

I've been reading that "Tatters" serial by soulcake that Karie recommended. While there's some good writing in general (and including themes from The King in Yellow is always a good thing in my book), I'm having trouble getting into it because it pings one of my biggest eyeroll-inducing fanfic peeves, but hard. It seems to be set in Liberace!World, where most of the main characters and about every supporting character we meet is revealed to be not just gay, but in or beginning a schmoopy committed partnership. And of the three shows being crossed over, Angel is the one in whose storyline the slash is least prevalent so far.
Well, when you're dealing with a slasher writing a crossover in which you have the main slash pairings in each fandom... I dunno, it didn't ping my "oh for fuck's sake is no one in this entire universe straight?" radar, but I can see how it might yours. (Of course, I've been reading it as it was posted, so if there were pairings other than Jack/Daniel and Jim/Blair I quite frankly don't even remember them at this point.)
Lovely, the story to which this is a sequel, is gen if I remember correctly, but it doesn't have the Angel content.
There's also a bit where Angel comments on what Wesley has always really wanted during an hallucinatory attack (OK, that doesn't actually deviate much from show canon, although they don't speak about such things quite that openly most of the time), and it's revealed that Denver the Hipster Bookshop Owner's store has now been taken over by his surviving longtime companion Bill.
Tangentally, women are highly marginalized in the story with the sole exception of Cordelia. Major Carter might as well be a cardboard cutout, for all the impact or agency she's had, and the other women who've apeared in the story haven't even had direct lines of dialogue so far.
I don't mean to imply that the story is awful or anything, I think a lot of it is really well-written and evocative (particularly the chapters set on P3X-636). But I think crossover stories need to maintain an even higher level of plausibility than normal fanfic, and switching the canonical orientation of 5 out of 10 main characters all in one swoop does not help with that.
