No One Like You [One Direction, Larry, Nc-17]

No One Like You by myownspark

Dear Niall,

I was glad to have the chance to talk with you again at the AHA conference. Your idea that the Musee D’Orsay Tomlinson painting is in fact not a self-portrait is an intriguing one, and I may have discovered something that will have a bearing on that theory.

Some background: as you may remember, I’ve been researching for a book I’m writing about Harry Styles. I’ve been in communication with Styles’ last living descendant, who is in possession of a trunk that her family believed to have belonged to Styles himself. It held some personal items she presumes to be his, including two unmounted paintings and a small collection of letters.

Upon spending the last few days in Provins studying these items, I believe there to be a connection between Tomlinson and Styles, and I would very much like your opinion.

Are you up for a trip to France?

Sincerely,
Liam Payne

Where Liam and Niall are art historians discovering the truth about two nineteenth century painters on opposite sides of an artistic divide.

I don't really have much to say about this. But the reason I wanted to have this fic here is that this surprised me. I didn't really know how you could write a story around two painters that died decades ago. So my first thought was how this is probably gonna entail a lot of talking and a lot analysing stuff. But, as I said before, this surprised me.

This is about Harry and Louis. The story is told from their perspective. And now the one thing I am kind of missing is having all that analysing their paintings and analysing those letters. I liked this, but that was the part I was expecting and it was pretty non-existing. Okay. They read the letters and they understood the meanings behind them and that was pretty awesome.

So. What I really wanted to say, is that give this a chance. The idea sounds weird and maybe it sounds like it couldn't possibly be any good but it is good. It is pretty amazing and totally worth it. Yea. Thank you.

The perils of doing your homework in public [Teenwolf, Vampire Diaries, Damon/Stiles, cross-over]

The perils of doing your homework in public by Shadecat

-Since when had doing your homework in a coffee house been an invitation to be kidnapped?-

Stiles and Damon as I promised. Ha!

Okay. But in all seriousness, Stiles is an awesome character. He is stills ball of nervous energy and just smart. He is everywhere at the same time and his mind in all the fics is just pure gold. Then you add Damon who is this mysterious dark guy who no one can really crack. Except all that being selfis part.

Anyways. The best part of this fic was actually none of that but the end where Damon makes Stiles to forget and we have this insight what it kind of could be when a vampire decides that you don’t need to remember something. Just how Stiles doesn’t have memories but he has these feelings that are therea and make him kind of remember but not really.

Yea. That was the best part and the part that will make me to read this whole thing again at some point. Or find some other fics with that awesome elements. So please. Read this, make the author feel loved, leave comment, leave kudos. Anything. This is gold. Awesome. Perfect. I’m in love.

Spinning Around In Circles [Mortal Instruments, Malec]

Spinning Around In Circles by lemonoclefox

Alec has been in love with Magnus pretty much since the first time they met. Magnus has been in love with Alec for just as long. Unfortunately, bad timing and various levels of insecurity can keep even the closest of friends from admitting any of that out loud.

Even these two can be idiots and not know how to talk. Okay. I know, there are shit ton of fics where these two can’t talk that much but this kind of is the worst. Like literally the worst of the worst. Because years, years of both of them pining for no other reason that they can’t talk. Seriouly. That’s all I want to say about that.

The rest is that there is nothing new in and you have all read this before but you will still want to read this. Believe me. This is good and I liked this and totally worth it. Also a good Malec fic is always a good Malec fic and there probably are not that many of those. So even more reason to read this and make the author feel loved? Yup. Do that.

Random Fandom Week 7 [Vampire Diaries]

The truth is that I never wanted to watch the whole show. I knew I wouldn't like and I never planned on finding out what was so special about vampires this time. But, super drunk me thought it was a super awesome idea to watch eight or so episodes in one night. I don't really remember anything about those episodes (I don't even really remember that much of the first season, to be honest). But for some reason when I woke up, I thought why not spent one day watching this because I was too hungover to really do anything.

So. Now... Fuck I don't know. I like Damon and that is the only reason why I have watched this so much. Stefan sucks, Elena sucks, every single teenager in this sucks. They act like they are 30 but instead of working they go to high school every other day or more like they attend these high school parties and fundraisers. But at any point, they don't seem to actually study anything.

Anyways. I got that point where I hoped the fanfiction would be better than the show (like with Teen Wolf, I am still stuck at the third or fourth season) but the beginning was not so great. I still found these 6 good fics and I want them to my blog but I am not so sure about reading these fics anymore after this. But we will see about that in the long run. Also, I have no idea why I got stuck with the whole Dalaric pairing, seriously. I was kinda aiming for Delena fics but that was harder than I thought.

So yea. Without more shit. Enjoy the 5+1 fics that I somehow found. You are welcome.

Memory rests by pleasebekidding
[Damon/Alaric]

A long moment, extended in a way the immutability of physics and the plodding insistence of time don’t generally allow. Everyone moves slowly, so slowly, great thuggish humans stuck in amber or something. A woman raises a glass of wine to her lips and it takes a minute, five, ten.
Because the bartender doesn’t just share Alaric’s build and height and hair color.

It's been four years since Alaric died. But the bartender is definitely Alaric.

This hit all the spots with me because Alaric got his happy ending. Okay. This is not 100% happy ending with amnesia and Damon being sad and miserable. But besides that. This is the happy ending Alaric deserves and we have to be happy about that. Because at least someone got to grow old with the love of their life. Yea. That.


Lapis and bourbon, amen by pleasebekidding
[Damon/Alaric]

Alaric has something on his mind, but he's not talking.

“You’ve been distracted for weeks, and you’ve been refusing to talk about it for exactly as long.” Damon splutters. “So seriously? Whatever the fuck it is, can we just fight about it and move on?”

Alaric puts down his glass with a soft thunk, takes a couple of steps towards Damon, regret and exhaustion twisting his features. “Nothing to fight about, Damon. Seriously. I’m just working through some stuff. Is that allowed?”

The First Five Times by lit_chick08
[Damon/Elena]

Whenever Damon imagined being with Elena, he always forgot to account for the fact that the universe seems to enjoy torturing him

This is more about what I thought I would be reading over this week, or what I actually wanted to read. But this whole fandom has surprised me and made me like a lot of weird things that I never even thought that much before these fics. Something bonus then? But yea. I kinda like how vulnerable Damon is in there and how Elena seems to be just a little bit lost. I just like it. That's it.

[Damon/Alaric]

So Elena’s a vampire. That’s great. Damon is sure she and Stefan will be very happy together. Totally awesome. Since Damon’s last, best shot at happiness just died in his arms.

Alaric is dead so let's cry and be sad about. Okay. Damon is super whipped and so in love that next I want to read a fic where he actually manages to keep going after Alaric's dead. Yea. My next awesome goal.


simmer down and pucker up by candycolamorgan
[Caroline/Klaus]

When it comes to disagreements, there's really only one solution.

This is something I would actually like to read more. I only read this one fic of this pairing for this week but I want to read more. I kinda like their chemistry and how Klaus actually have feelings for Caroline. Okay. No idea where those feelings came or even when suddenly he was just in love with her and that's it. Weird. But I like this and I like this fic because it shows how those two could actually work together. Yeah.


For that +1 fic, I wanted to have something totally different from everything else. I don’t usually even read 3-way fics because usually, I don’t even like them. But this, this is totally worth it and I hope you enjoy it. Also. This was the first fic in this fandom that I actually read. So there is that too.

The analogy of the three-legged stool by pleasebekidding
[Damon/Elena/Alaric]

“I mean, it’s stable, you know. A three legged-stool works a lot better than a two-legged one.” Elena met Damon’s eyes. “But Ric wouldn’t… I mean, not that I…”
--
“Oh, Elena has this fantastic analogy about three legged stools,” Damon said, airily. “Ask her about it, sometime.”

This. Okay. Let's start with that analogy of how three-legged stool works and how that really makes a lot of sense. Like a lot. A huge amount of sense. Besides that, I was not sure about this at first. But after a while, this makes a lot of sense and is probably one of the best fics I have read in awhile. Like yea.

P.s. I am so gonna get involved with Damon/Stiles pairing at some point. I read couple total shite fics about it but also a couple pretty good ones. So you will see those at some point in the future.
