Truth and Consequences [Teen Wolf, Steter]

Truth and Consequences by KouriArashi

“The place you give the Bite has meaning," Derek says. "Biting someone on the side is to make them your beta. It makes them your subordinate, but it also invites them into the pack with the full protection of the alpha. Biting someone on the legs indicates that you’re turning them to an omega. And biting someone on the arm, particularly the wrist, turns someone as your equal. It’s a mating ritual.”

Stiles nearly chokes on a mouthful of granola. “A what?”

So. This happened. Steter is something I should say something about it. The thing is that I have no reason why I started to read Steter fics recently. I just opened one and thought why the fuck no. And to be honest, somehow this makes a little bit sense. They are both geniuses in their own way, they both have a little bit fucked up world view and they are a little bit out of the main group.

Maybe I got addicted to them being assholes together. Maybe.

Okay. The biggest problem with this pairing comes with the whole age difference, especially in this one. All other problems follow that plus Peter being a villain at some level. Or maybe he is just a misunderstood character.

But what I liked about this one is that Stiles is pushed outside of their little group. Allison is dead and he is not really dealing with it. So he ends up at Peter's place and, for some reason, Peter decides to help him. He is a little bit asshole about it but it helps and Stiles is okay with it. This is the part that I didn't understand, why is Stiles so easily okay with Peter's way of helping him. But that's just details

I also really liked how Stiles got addicted to how he feels at Peter's place. And how they actually talked about stuff (while being assholes but details). They are helping each other and somehow it just makes so much sense. Okay. Others aren't so okay with it but what would you expect? Nothing else, I think. But this pairing is not supposed to be all rainbows and sunshine, which just makes it so much better.

So yea. I got addicted to something I am probably not so proud of. But that is nothing new. And I will continue reading Steter fics.

Random Fandom Week 10 [Good Omens]

I did a thing I regret. Okay. I do love the tv show, it was just perfection. David Tennant is the best and Michael Sheen seemed super awesome (his name at least is) but I don't really know anything about him. But the tv show had all the things I love about good shows. Like everything.

There were super weird plots, super weird storytelling ways and all the characters were just a little bit weirder than the others. Just perfectness.

So. I did a thing where I thought it would be awesome idea to read fanfiction because there is a shit ton of it. Like a lot. A lot lot. So. This is me diving into the deep end and just maybe not surviving it. But this is life and life (fanfiction) is suppose to be fun and exciting. Also. I may have stashed one multichapter fic for later blogging, so this does not contain the five (plus one) best fics I have found so far.

So have fun with these 5 + 1 fics I chose this time.

Birds of a Feather by idiopathicsmile

“Isn’t this nice?” says Aziraphale with badly feigned casualness the next time Crowley stops by for a late night drink.

Crowley is all set to reply, words lined up in his mouth waiting to go, when Aziraphale adds,

“I mean, all of the books and furniture and bottles of wine and things?”


Aziraphale nests. Crowley relearns some crucial facts about angelic courtship rituals.

I kind of like their miscommunications. Because.. Yeah okay. It is kind of cliche how they think that the other thinks something but can't really talk about before it becomes a huge problem. But somehow these two have spent so much time together that it feels like it couldn't happen that often, even when they don't really talk they still understand each other. Or something. No idea how to explain it but something like that.


You're the Only Prayer I Need by Kedreeva

Crowley had, in the six thousand years Aziraphale had known him, shed his skin exactly twice that Aziraphale knew of. Both times he had disappeared without a trace, having retreated somewhere very safe and very, very unknown to hide while he was so vulnerable, and Aziraphale had never thought to ask beyond that information. Everyone was, he had supposed at the time, entitled to their secrets.

The problem was that he had stumbled directly into this secret now, and there was hardly a graceful way out of it.

I like the idea that Crowley controls water with fear. For some reason, I really love that idea. I also love the idea that because he is a demon the magic he has is actually him controlling stuff with fear. I am so in love with that idea. Like please people, write about that. In the mean time I will love the fic where he just controls water (and plants) with fear.


Duh by ToEdenandBackAgain

Nanny, Warlock had decided, was a hypocrite.

First of all, there is a sequel to this which is also awesome. But I gotta love Warlock in this. His sneakiness and Crowley's way of handling it. The whole balance of good and not-so-good in here I just so juicy and perfect. Somehow this just sums their whole relationship from someone else's point of view.


Wings and How to Hide Them by triedunture

Crowley's been annoyingly in love for six thousand years. What's another lifetime between friends?

Or: Aziraphale definitely fucks and isn't that just perfect?

What I like about this is that somehow in here Aziraphale is not so good. In a way. He has this vibe that he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants and he is not as naive as everyone seems to think. To be honest, you need to be a little bit rebel to be friends (or more) with Crowley but here it really shows. He is still good in his core and all that but the rebel is in front and I like that a lot.


A Home at the Beginning of the World by stereobone

"Oh," Aziraphale says. "I think Crowley might have moved in with me."

This was the first fic I read. And I couldn't stop smiling throughout the fic. So this was also the moment that I knew I was hooked. Okay. I knew I was hooked while watching this awesome show but this just made it more certain. Yup. This just brightened my day.


The + 1 part is one of these things that I am not even sure what they are. But its still awesome!

it's a new craze by attheborder

CROWLEY: I try not to make a habit of gratitude, but I must give our appreciation to everyone out there who’s been listening and subscribing to The Ineffable Plan.
AZIRAPHALE: Ooh, yes, we’ve become quite popular, haven’t we?
CROWLEY: Yeah, just hit number eight on the advice charts … No advertising at all.
AZIRAPHALE: Mm. How … miraculous.
CROWLEY: … Aziraphale. You did not.



***

Crowley and Aziraphale are very possibly the people least qualified, on the entire planet, to start up an advice podcast.

But what else is there to do when the world isn’t ending anytime soon, you’re technically on indefinite sabbatical from your lifelong careers, and you need a plausible excuse to spend more time with your best friend who you’re definitely not, absolutely not, maybe just a little, actually maybe overwhelmingly in love with?

To be honest I have no words for this. Seriously. This is one of those things that I just open because my mind is just going "what the fuck is this?" and curiosity still hasn't killed me. So maybe I am doing something right. I guess so at least.

The D Word [Dean/Shane, Dean/OFC, crossover, Nc-17]

The D Word by Hope

Fuck.

Can people just write fics full of random characters (either girls or that somehow turn into girls) that just find some reason to get to L.A. and fuck Shane? Because I liked this idea. This was just a pretty fucking awesome idea.

Okay. The truth is that there wasn't so much about Shane. She was pretty much a hollow person who just fucked everyone and Dean was the flavour of the week. Or a month or something like that.

And maybe Dean was a little bit hollow too. Like he just went with the whole being a girl thing. No panic, no inner turmoil or anything deeper than that. He just went with it, had fun with and was like whatever, I'm a lesbian now.

The thing is, I liked the idea and I liked everything about this. I just, I would love to read more of this, I would love to get deeper into this. I would love anything more with slutty Yoda Shane in it. I just want to read more L Word fics and I want them to be good. Like really good. This was good, not denying that. I just want more. Okay. More, please.

Trader Joes [L Word]

Trader Joes by fuzzybluelogic

Shane really hates that billboard

I feel like I should tag this as crack or some other kind of humor. But at the time time, I want to just say how realistic and in character this is.

Shane is just so done with the whole "You are looking very Shane today". Just so done. And you get all the feelings about that in this fic. Like all the feels. This is maybe really simple and really short. But this is also really awesome that way. This is almost perfect in that way. I just had to love this one.

Also. If you know any good L Word fics (especially if Shane is in them), please link them in the comments. I would love to read more of these. I have just found about 500 of those and most of them are not really that good or even finished. So please. Share your own favorites or the fics you have written. I promise to check them out.  ♥

Welcome to Your ‘Outing’ [Avengers, FrostIron]

Welcome to Your ‘Outing’ by STARSdidathing

Tony considers himself straight but with above-the-waist potential with men. When he gets accidentally outed as gay, he expects it will be one more rumor that dies down. He doesn't expect he'll suddenly have the genius businessman Loki Laufeyson finally wanting to talk to him.

Tony is weird and Loki is weird. Together they are just stupid and weirder. Yup. And Spidey sucks with keeping secrets. I am not even sure if that's canon or not? Because this isn't the first fic where he blurts out something he shouldn't have said at all.

But I am gonna say that happy endings will make everything better. And Loki and Tony are just awesome in this fic. I just have to love them. ♥

First and Only [Supernatural, Destiel, Nc-17]

First and Only by almaasi

Single bachelor Dean bets he can have sex more times within a calendar year than his happily-married brother. But when Castiel – Dean’s roommate, best friend, and total virgin – asks Dean to be his First, Dean’s plan to bed numerous strangers goes up in smoke. Over the weeks, then the months, Cas becomes his go-to guy. His “fuck buddy”, if you will. But that doesn’t sound right. It doesn’t feel right. Dean was Cas’ First, but now he wants to be Cas’ Only. Now he’s gotta figure out how the heck to court a guy he’s successfully wooed a hundred times already.

I am just going to leave this here and remember that I actually read this. And hopefully that way I don't try to read this again. My brain just can't take these two anymore.

The fic is good and all that. I just can't understand those two sometimes, even when it all makes perfect sense and is good. I just can't. That's it.

Soul on Fire [Avengers, FrostIron, NC-17]

Soul on Fire by Potrix

Initially, Tony is wary of having the team around more or less twenty-four-seven despite the half dozen floors between his penthouse and the guest levels.

As it turns out, however, even the Avengers only see what they want to see. Or they see but they don’t observe.

Whatever.

The important bit is that Tony’s secret is safe.

I love all these fics where Tony is actually an Aesir god. Yes, I know, Tony isn't actually a god in this one but close enough. Or wait. Maybe he is a god, just some other form of god? Okay. I am so not going down that rabbit hole.

Where was I? Oh, yea. Loki and his awesomeness. Loki is not stupid and he actually sees stuff that others just ignore for some reason. Or maybe the other Avengers aren't really that smart? Or something about how you can't actually see what's right in front of you? Something like that. I totally lost the point. But Loki sees all that and really pays attention.

I also kind of like how Tony tries to hide it but Loki is this super supportive partner. Also that bonding. Yep.

I didn't really have anything else to say about this. So go and read this. Seriously. This is awesome.

Anything You Can Do [Supernatural, Destiel, Nc-17]

Anything You Can Do by FagurFiskur

“I don’t know what I expected,” she continued. “Maybe if it had only been about sex…” she paused, glancing around the room. Dean ducked out of view, just in time. When Daphne spoke again, her voice was lowered, “But even then, I don’t think it would have worked. Between you and me, he’s not as good at it as Castiel was.”

What. The. Fuck?

---

In which Dean sets out to prove that he's better at sex than Castiel, all the while insisting that he's straight. Really.

I don't really remember how this fic ends. Its really been that long time since I read this but I have finally found the inspiration to blog about this one.

So basically Dean is just trying to understand how Castiel could be so awesome in bed and ends up in a relationship with the guy.  There are all these important parts where they suck at talking to each other and actually telling all these little details. But those things aren't that important until the end so I don't really remember how it went down in the end.

Anyways. Why I liked this one is just Dean. How he does something without actually really thinking about it or acknowledging it. And then everything just spirals out of control. I liked how he owned it all in the end and had all that courage to just go with the flow. He did what made him happy. Normally all the fics are about Dean questioning himself and if he can do this or not. Most of the time is also wasted on him trying to deny everything and being miserable.

So I really liked how all those shitty parts were skipped without actually limiting any drama or heartbreak.

But seriously. Daphne and Dean. Who the fuck comes up with this shit? I could never actually imagine those two together. Just weird as fuck. Seriously. The good thing is that that whole thing is totally a side thing with only brief mentioning here and there.

Medicine [Supernatural, Destiel, Nc-17]

Medicine by vipjuly

Before Castiel came into the picture, Dean had been pretty sure he was straight as an arrow.

That illusion had been shattered the second he shook hands with Castiel four years ago when they brought him on as their new bassist.

I have been trying to read something else than Entourage the past forever but that's not as easy as it sounds. The problem is finding new fics and then actually liking them. So I have been kind of jumping from fandom to fandom and I have not really read that much. Okay. The problem was way before I even found Entourage fics but that's just details.

So anyways. Back to the point. This. This one I almost skipped for some reason. But thank god I was bored out of my mind (and maybe a little bit drunk, sue me) and actually opened this. Because I fell in love the way this was written. Just perfect. That's the only way to describe it.

The other thing is how this went from just trying to keep up with their backstory to actually cheer for Dean and how he did something for himself (and Cas).

And the thing is. I love all these super underground band fics. Okay. I love all band fics where the characters are real and actually make it seem cool without overdoing anything. And this fic is all that and a little bit Destiel on the side notes (more than little, to be honest). So totally worth it. So fucking worth it and awesome.

Please read this.

Random Fandom Week 9 [Entourage]

To be honest, I kind of promised myself that I would not read any fics from Entourage fandom when I started watching the show. The point is that I liked everything in this show, everything. I like how they are foul-mouthed, they curse, they are real and everyone is so different compared to others.

But then I had this dream last night (or the night before? this week anyway) where the guys from Entourage were hanging out there somewhere. I don't really remember what they were doing or if I only had a feeling that the dream had something to do with them when I woke up. But the more important part of that dream is that there was some kind of love triangle going on. I don't know between who, but they were all dudes and these two were together and the third one was about to get to that mix. The only thing I do remember is the crazy one laying on a table and trying to kiss one of the other dudes.

So when I woke up I had this inspiration to read some kind of drama about the Entourage gang.

Yea so. This whole little trip to this weird fandom has been kind of awesome. Okay. The whole reading all the fics kind of destroyed my plan to watch all the eight season of Entourage in a week. But besides that, I regret nothing. Seriously. There aren't that many fics but most of them are just pure gold and awesomeness. So yea, I am addicted. The problem just comes with how there are not that many fics. The sad news is that this one post is probably going to be the last I ever write about Entourage fics. Sad but true.

But here we are and I found five Vince/Eric fics with super happy endings for them and that + 1 part is still awesome fic but without the kind of ending you would have hoped maybe. Something like that. So enjoy!

Top Billing by astolat

Eric looked at the bill and the neat little line of coke lying on the polished desk. This was clearly the beginning of the end, doing coke with Ari Gold on a Friday night, just so he could get i's dotted and t's crossed. (Written for Scribewraith in the Yuletide 2007 Challenge.)

So I think this was the first fic I red. I had all these insecurities about how the writers can keep the characters true to themselves and how Ari is going to be there. Also all that banter going on around the place, if the fics will have that or will it be lost there somewhere. And this. This fic delivered everything. This was perfect and I don't think I would have kept reading these fics if this one had disappointed me. But thank god it didn't.

Boys Will Always Break Your Heart by fourteencandles (thingsbaker)

The boys are coming to town and staying for a while, a month, maybe, because Vincent has a new part in a big movie — “Scorcese, Ma! Pretty cool, huh?” — and he wants to just soak things in. Lois holds her tongue about that, too — as far as she can tell, Vincent Chase has spent the better part of the last few years just soaking things in, letting things happen to him, letting Eric make things happen. She holds her tongue because it wasn’t always that way, because both of the Chase boys probably deserve some easy goodness in their lives.

Then in the other direction, this is the last fic I have read so far and one of my all time favorites. In the whole series there isn't that much of talk about their childhood in New York or about their parents or anything really. Only those couple episodes where they visit New York and that one where Vince and Turtle's moms come over to L.A. I kind of missed more of the backstory and this just fit the bill perfectly. Just loved Eric's mom and how everything was so simple but at the same time it was complicated. This was just about normal life and people getting to places but at the same time they left pieces of themselves back and this is also about meeting those pieces again.


Zen and the Art of Scheming by Sylvia

Vince loses his Zen, it's all E's fault, and Vince is simply not going to put up with it.

 I had this plan to have all these fics from different perspectives. But I couldn't really find that many perspectives so.. I literally just lost the idea. But this fic stayed because I liked Vince in this. I liked how he felt himself and how he kind of didn't really care about anything but at the same time he cared way too much about everything. Yea.


The Heartbreak Kid by astolat

Vince wasn't planning on it, that was for sure; it just sort of happened. There was a party, somebody started truth-or-dare, he picked truth, somebody asked, "Have you ever kissed a guy?" and he said no. So far so good, except the cute-but-toasted girl curled up against him started laughing and said, "Come on, not even Eric?"

If you wanna cry, this is the perfect fic for that. Mostly because they are so codependent on each other and because they suck at communication. But mostly I liked how Eric made his own life in this, how he got success and made something out of himself.


Love Like Semtex by exeterlinden

Usually Eric hates the "it just happened" shtick, but this, this just happens.

Well I had two options for this last of these five fics and I am not even sure why I picked this one in the end. Maybe because this made complicated feel like uncomplicated and I liked that. And maybe because they are both so insecure and kind of out of it? Or maybe there is some other reason that I just don't know yet. But this is good and weird.


And here we go with the +1 part of this trip.

There's No Replacing You by fourteencandles (thingsbaker)

“You really don’t get it?” Turtle asks.

“Get what?”

“The resemblance.”

Eric frowns. “To what?” He’s thinking of Vince’s last few girls, but there’s no resemblance there.

“To you,” Turtle says, and now Eric’s really confused.

So I am not saying that there isn't a happy ending, because there is. But it is different kind of happy. And the most important part of this fic is the character growth. Especially Vince's. Yea.
