Fic-changing meme gacked from herohunter:

Pick one of my stories and tell me a point in the tale that you'd change -- something tiny or big -- and I'll tell you how that one difference would have altered the course of the entire story.

Star Trek XI recs:

1. midnight_city's [fanart] - star trek stuff

It's cute like a v. v. cute, LOLarious thing X-D
Guess the movies! (Hint: both by Pixar =3)
Kid!Spock in a Starfleet summer camp get-up is the BEST THING EVARR <333

2. hollycomb's Sulu/Chekov fics, which I'm totally all over, once I get over the reflexive tic of "Hikaru no Go! Touya Akira!" whenever I read Chekov calling Sulu "Hikaru" ^^;;

2a. Trouble Sleeping (Sulu/Chekov, R)
Summary: Sulu and Chekov sleep in the same bed, but they're never in it at the same time.
How they got together in the end. Sulu PINING. V. sweet <3

2b. Space Sickness (Sulu/Chekov, NC-17)
Summary: Chekov is sick, Sulu is lost on an alien planet, Kirk is a cockblock.
Established relationship. Sweet and h/c and atmospheric and just right *_*

2c. Theoretically (Sulu/Chekov, NC-17)
Summary: Sulu makes Chekov watch the classic American Terminator movies. Chekov has some thoughts.
I wanna watch the new Terminator movie because Anton Yelchin's in it, but apparently it's even more awful than T3? ^^;;

2d. If I Didn't Care (Sulu/Chekov, NC-17)
Summary: Kirk and Chekov have a harrowing experience together on a dangerous planet, and Sulu is definitely not jealous.

If you only have time to read two, read the first two. If you only have time to read one, read "Space Sickness."

Sulu pining *_* Chekov seducing Sulu >=D

3. rageprufrock's new WIP: Discourses in Management (Lab), pt 1/? (PG-13, for language)
Summary: “How’s it going?” the instructor asks, her voice a harmony, hovering nearby. / "Futilely,” Spock volunteers at the same time Jim says, “Shitty.”

In other news, even though Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) is a cheap, loli-shota knock-off of Kaori Yuki's Count Cain, I did enjoy the Bengali Prince arc, because no manga is complete without SURPRIZE appearance of South Asian/Middle Eastern/teeny European Kingdom royalty.

Also, can't help but be amused by the American chef (An American chef in a British household? lololol).

Okay, I lie, my fav. character is still the Bengali prince's servant.

[ LJ | IJ | DW ]

Oh the indignities.

This reminds me of this Smallville/Superman fanfic where Clark tried out being human (thanks to the A.I.) and felt Deeply Betrayed because papers aren't supposed to hurt you >=/

Which in turn reminds me of Yomiko Readman/"The Paper" from Read or Die, haha.

5. H/D and manga collide:

5 a. dampfnudl's Little Prince (G, Draco & Doll!Harry)
* Little Draco is v. Gothic Loli-shota Aristocrat in this.
* The only non-creepy Japanese doll story is Clamp's Angelic Layer. This needs to be said.

5 b. You Are My Sunshine (G, butler!Draco wrapping a scarf around Harry's neck)
* H/D-ers recognize the art style, of course.
* AHAHAHAH OMG 70s Manga Art X-D *dies* The roses, the roses! And the shape of the face!
Am I the only one who've read all the ballerina!Mari-chan series? There were at least a dozen permutations, I swear.

Merlin to-do: ( Read more... )

[ LJ | IJ | DW ]

Title: Best Malfoy Legs Since the 1800s
Pairings/Characters: Scorpius, implied AS/S
Rating: PG-13 for crossdressing
Warnings/Kinks: skinny boy in a skirt
Medium: pencil; smudges cleaned in Photoshop
Summary: Draco muses that it's karma for making Crabbe and Goyle polyjuice as little girls. Lucius thinks his legs look better when he was younger. Narcissa just wants a cup of tea.
Artist's Notes: Won the Golden Squid for Truth In Advertising at hp_april_fools *g*
n00b drawing mistakes fixed by my art beta, rea_saint. The leather upholstery belongs to him (the idea of it, that is, not the physical object.) If I'm not lazy I would turn this into a lineart and beg someone to color it. Unlikely to happen, but if someone has advice on how to turn sketches into linearts, I'm all ears.

( Best Malfoy Legs Since the 1800s )

---

1. This is the picture that, two months back, I was sketching and thinking, "You know who's skinny? Merlin!"
I want a modern-day!AU where Merlin's an underwear/swimsuit model and Arthur's a photographer, and it's for a borderline soft pr0n magazine. And Arthur's giving Merlin half-breathy directions, and Merlin's getting turned on and his eyes gleamed gold.
Whoops, didn't mean to go the anthropomorphic dragon route there.

2. Why is it that I'm so much more shameless when it comes to Merlin/Arthur pr0n? It's not that the fandom's kinkier than HP. Is there even a kinkier fandom than HP?
Not to mention completely shameless about Bradley/Colin too. Huh.

3. I think I've pinpointed why I'm uninterested with Merlin RP games. Merlin, Arthur, Morgana, Gwen...they're all main characters. In HP, I can RP as obscure characters (Padma, Terry, Al, Scorpius), only-exist-in-notes characters (Su Li), my own OFC (Jade Malfoy)...even Draco's not a main character in canon except for HBP.

With Merlin, I can't help but be more judgmental and going "OoC! OoC!" when an RP-er's interpretation of the character significantly differs from mine.

ETA 10:43 p.m.: * Speaking of RP-ing, May 15th is Blog Like It Isn't You Day.
...I can blog as a random magic user sentenced to death in Camelot? =P

1. Someone should write this fic:

*So Harry goes for Sectumsempra, his new favorite spell. The one he’ll use when this is all over and he becomes a serial killer who stalks and kills pretty blond boys in men’s rooms, always seeking to capture that first great rush of using it against Malfoy.

*ETA: Seriously, I think he did. But nobody ever caught him because a) Wizards are completely inept at investigating anything, b) Harry's the head of the police, c) He only goes after Slytherins so killing laws aren't all that strictly enforced for them

--sistermagpie's HBP Chapter Twenty-Eight

ETA 02/24/09: The nod in the epilogue is actually Draco's shorthand of "I know that you just killed another random blond man in the men's room. I'm grateful that you never came back and finished the job in my case, really I am. Now please to be leaving my pretty blond son alone D:"

:♥: The Evil Devil Child and the Perfect Gift by who_la_hoop
NC-17, ~16,500 words
Pairing(s): In no particular order – AS/S/Draco, Harry/Scorpius, AS/S, H/D and all four boys together.
Summary: When Scorpius Malfoy – Legilimens-extraordinaire, perfect son and all-round kinky little bastard – discovers that his father harbours a certain fantasy involving Harry Potter, a submissive attitude and a priceless antique dining table, he sets out to make his father’s dreams come true. And if succeeding in his mission involves putting up with a naked, willing Albus Severus? Well, that’s a price that Scorpius will just have to pay.

“What would you like for Christmas, father?”

“Harry Potter on his knees before me,” Draco said, flinging down the newspaper onto the dining table and glaring at it. “Have you seen this, Scorpius?”

“Mmm,” Scorpius said, swallowing a mouthful of cereal. “On his knees, you say?”
( NWS quote, ctd. )

:♥: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by hollycomb

Summary: Outraged after a tell-all book defames his family, Scorpius decides to have his revenge by seducing every member of Harry Potter's immediate family -- including Harry himself, and his wife -- and writing a tell-all of his own. Things go swimmingly at first but rather off the rails toward the end.

I was watching Junjou Romantica yesterday and lol'd at Episode 2 because of this:

( Eggplant/Tomato hybrid = Eggmato? Tomaplant? )

My wallpaper is Eggplant!Draco/Tomato!Harry by red_rahl ("A Match Made in Veggie Heaven"), which was inspired by potteresque_ire CharacterDeath!VegetableSmut ("Eggplant Parmesan").

FYI, I've read tomato slash (non-character death) before, penguin slash (+ baby!rock), snake/rock, etc.
(Considering that fruits are not inherently male/female, how do you differentiate slash from het? Eh.)

---

Anyway, Junjou Romantica is this totally cute Boys Love series that is not brain cell-damaging like Gravitation or lame-as-a-lame-camel-can-be like Kyou Kara Maouh. FYI, the anime art is actually an improvement over the manga art.
Also, I like this better than Love Mode because the characters are twisted in a v. believable way =DDD

Handy character guide, of a sort.

"Nooo! Not my golden hair!" Scorpius clutched at his braid as if Draco was about to cast Crucio instead of a simple haircut charm.

Draco blamed his wife for letting their son wear his hair long ("But he looks so pretty, dear.") He had not pressed the issue since Scorpius was tutored at home.

But now the boy was going to Hogwarts, where the last male student with long hair was none other than Lucius Malfoy.

Draco sighed. "If you keep your marks up and become a prefect, you may grow your hair down to your arse with my blessings."
