Spurred by ita's comments, I have caught up on Misha's Twitter, and omg, the blackberries picture is to die for.
And then later in his pic feed is him and Nathan Fillion, and I just about exploded. Please, yes, them two, on screen together, or at least creating babies in a lab somewhere? (And maybe taking Nathan running because he seems to love his couch hobits a bit too much...).
I have two D/C fic recommendations, both fairly different.
- one is a Stargate: SG1 fusion that's *nearly* perfect--the mappings and tone and characterisations for both shows are pretty excellent though I definitely think Sam
should be the archeologist
and Charlie
might like fieldwork more.
Compressed timeline, some "why do I feel these feels", but tiny things:
Beyond The Event Horizon by plaintainleaf
- and a weird H/S AU WIP with Endverse abrasive Cas. She's no Scaramouche and there are way too much hip song lyrics (though, Cure! I took a Just like Heaven break at the appropriate time)--it's one of those ones where I finally feel the author's inclusion of details that might be their life serve the story and characters in an interesting and illuminating way, not just an "I forced my issues onto my favourite ship" or "here's a laundry list of every thought I've ever had about them in loose chronological order" ways: Get Inside My Soul by angelivenantium (Cas tastes likes cigarettes, FTR, and sometimes mint, so far)
Oooo, is Cas a Jolinar-esque Tok'ra in the first one? It hadn't occurred to me before, but the angel/vessel situation would map really well to symbiont/host.
Go look--finding out the mappings is part of the fun.
I mean, if you don't want to read it, Castiel is
Teal'c, and it's basically his transition story,
but if you are going to read it, why not be unspoilt?
Okay, I'm writing this idea down because it makes me laugh and I can't decide if I should do it--but I want to! So
don't steal it.
I want to do a Take On Me style D/C picture.
All because of a stupid VW ad.
Oh, I think I saw that! I remember when that video came out.
It could be cute! Plus--black and white, minimal shading. COULD IT BE MORE SUITED TO MY limitationsstyle???
Exactly!
Oh, and if people can help me with photos of JP/Sammy boy with messy hair, that would be great. I don't have a wide enough range of hair references for him, and it limits what I can draw of him...early stuff is good too, since I ship him and Jess ridic hard.
Oh! The H/S AU with hipster!Endverse!Cas is not a WIP. She put a "prologue" in Cas POV on the end and it must have reset the chapter total. It's a completed story.
it's wordy, and it's emo, and it needs spag help, but as noted--she used her specific knowledge for good here (except for the music). I enjoyed it, and its energy and the intimacy that develops.
V. sad, with self-harm triggers and references to past suicide.
