Aletheia ~ Veracious Reality

Three crossovers:

1. Like an Onion Inside Out (The Doctor, the Queen, and the TARDIS Remix) by spiralleds
(Narnia/Doctor Who, The Doctor/Susan Pevensie, PG-13)
Summary: Sometimes endings are just the beginning.
Spoilers: Inclusive of the entire Chronicles and through series 4 of the new Doctor Who.
Warning: character deaths, talking animals

Author's meta

Includes Nine, Ten and Thirteen. And it WORKS. Also, even though it's character death, it's Narnia, after all =3

2. Congrats, You've Met Your Match (The Space Captain Remix) by roga
(ST:XI/SGA, Kirk/Sheppard, R, 3000 words)

Ridiculously hot even without the sex. The original reads as the missing sex scene ;-)

3. Ten Synonyms for Sensational (The Dragon/TARDIS Overdub) by nopejr (Doctor Who/HP, Ten, Draco Malfoy, PG)
Summary: The Doctor pouted. Draco wasn't impressed.

Cuuuuuute *_* And funny. With fanartzes!

And three non-crossovers:

1. Still Waters (Hypothetically Speaking Extended Dub) by cimorene [LJ]
(ST:XI, gen, mentioned Spock/Uhura, implied Kirk/Spock, PG)

Author's meta

The original is an always-a-girl!Spock genderbend. The remix is Jim's pov, and his finding out (via his slutty ways myriad charms) that Spock is practically royalty. I love how the remix shows the differences of the Kirk/Spock dynamic when Spock's male instead of female.
tl;dr: Am deeply impressed, read it!

2. Art Appreciation (Boxed Wine and Crackers, or the Decline of Public Funding, Remix) by eyebrowofdoom (Smallville, Clark/Lex, PG)
Summary: If you can do this, you must be morally old enough for a drink.
Spoilers/Warnings: adult themes.

Leeeeeex, you're so cute. Only Lex would have a fantasy life as a starving art student X-D

O/T: In other news, Michael Rosenbaum's Adina/Adam is the only 3-D character in Sorority Boys. I wasn't expecting anything but a stereotypical slapstick comedy (w/ bonus crossdressing Rosenbaum!), so his acting really impressed me =D (believable character, inner conflict, repress repress repress, deny deny deny)
Also, he looks SO YOUNG in that movie.

3. Free Range Subjects (The Scientific Method Remix) by suaine
(Merlin, Merlin/Arthur, R)
Summary: No one ever said science was easy, and alien scientists are only human, after all.
Spoilers and/or Warnings: non-con (an alien made them do it)

It's an AMTDI fic from the aliens' pov =DDD \o/

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.

2. Star Trek - I Love the World, Boom de yada yada fanvid by BigMamaG

3. Your mom is illogical...
Aaaaa Chibi Trek *_* Chibi Sulu (& Chekov!) is soo cute (read: suave and good-looking), but not as ADORABLE cute as Chibi Spock! =DDD

3*. Ahahahahah kappa!Spock X-D

4. Eyes Like An Impossible Storm by waldorph [@ LJ]
2,108 words, slight Kirk/Spock, PG, angst, outsider POV (Winona Kirk)
Summary: "She thinks that maybe in another universe, one where ships didn't come out of lightning storms in space, she would have had a brown-eyed, steadier child"

5. Vid: Circus (Star Trek XI; Kirk) by butterfly
You have to d/l it, but it's worth the effort.

What I've written for this meme so far (a flospy, a drabblet & three 100-word drabbles):

- Three facts about Aziraphale from my personal canon/fanon [Good Omens, 129 words]
- A reason Aziraphale is awesomecakes [Good Omens, 60 words]

- The last dream Dog had [Good Omens]

- Four people Chekov never fell in love with, and one person he did [Star Trek: XI]
<-- Awkward sentence construction is awkward.

- Three facts about Spock from my personal canon/fanon [Star Trek: XI]

No Kirk/Spock yet because they're 100 words each. I'm a drabble writer, not a miracle worker. (Except if I skip several years ahead in the timeline, I suppose.)

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.

1. What Dreams by suaine, PG
Summary: There was always a price. The balance of nature was transactional - one thing of a certain value required the sacrifice of equal value given up by the one who asked.

But Arthur never finished those thoughts, kept all of his heart locked up tight. Merlin knew what he was going to say anyway, knew of the way Arthur kept looking over his shoulder when he thought no one was watching. Arthur had nightmares, dreams of a world without him in it, all the more terrible for their warmth and muted beauty, hitting like a physical blow when he woke up.

2. merlin_flashfic's AU challenge will run until 22.00BST on Saturday the 13 June.

I have to admit that I only watched Star Trek because of:
1) Sylar with eyebrows! and,
2) I want to read ifyouweremine's pr0n

Like a gazillion other people have said, it was GLORIOUS.

I like every single character in that movie, and that _never_ happened to me before.
Yes, including the evil Romulan guy, who I found vaguely hot (which is understandable because he was played by Eric Bana, who played Hector in Troy).
I even like Spock's mother (didn't recognize Winona Ryder until her third appearance X-D)

ruien shared ST canon tidbits with me, but I was all, "Uh-huh. Sylar with eyebrows! Spock Spock Spock!"
I should like BlondPratJerk!Kirk better, but I don't. It's the power ot the eyebrows!111

I want to cuddle ickle!Spock with his pretty eyes <333 Spock! Spock Spock Spock Spock Spock! Spock!
Ickle!Kirk was awesome too! And Kirk was as pretty as everyone said <333
Mind meld! Spock! Spock!
Kirk Senior was hot too! Alternate Reality! Spock!

I even love the canon het pairing =D =D =D

Hikaru Sulu! Gold power ranger! Fold-out sword! Fencing!
17 y.o. Chekhov OMGSoPrecious ^___^ "I can do it I can do it I can do it"

Eomer Karl Urban's stupid haircut makes me want to cry, but otherwise YAY Bones! Spock!

I'm going to watch it at IMAX later tonight =D =D =D

In which Arthur stole Merlin's food, watched his DVD, took him out to a boring party and manoeuvred him to bed (to sleep).

★ All-in-one beta & Britpicker: lilithilien ♥
☆ The first version won third place at armer_gayms' Bro Code challenge.

☆ 555 words. Or 731. It's all relative.
★ Borrowed the varying flashfic length from b_hallward's Increments (Merlin/Arthur)--am not the genius that came up with it. The 5, 10, 20, ..., 100 words structure fits what I have in mind, didn't mean to steal ^^;;

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 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!

Summary: Anger is a false thing. It is never alone. Anger lies like a harlot with a multitude of other emotions, shrouding them in her bed linens to hide them from sight...Love, when it is true, is always alone.

In Times of Drought by Ramtops_Witch
(Merlin/Arthur, NC-17, Rough sex, dom!Arthur)
Prompt: When Merlin complains about his thirst, Arthur goes out of his way to quench it. Blowjob, frustrated Arthur, Merlin likes it rough.

3 c. And continues: Lesson Two: Riding Royal
(Arthur/Merlin, NC-17, Dom!Arthur, Riding, Pony-play? Spanking.)
Summary: This is why the kink meme is dangerous. *Ahem* I mean: Arthur is not content with Merlin’s body of knowledge and proceeds to expand it.

Originally a tl;dr comment on syllic's post.

1. Don't you wish we have glasses that serve as a computer screen, and it tracks our eyeball movements so it scrolls down automatically as we read fanfic discreetly everywhere?
On the train, on the bus, in the car and on the road. In the market, on the run, in those meetings that're ho-hum.

2. I personally can't get into fanfic if I know zilch about the original source (Smallville and Merlin don't count because d-uh, everyone knows smth about Superman and King Arthur). Because fanfic always assumes some prior knowledge of canon.
And I need to know who is this Castiel guy and what is he doing sexxing up Dean, and is this Castiel person taller than Sam, older than sin, and have pretty pouty lips? And does he have wings? Is he an angel, a devil, incubus, what?
(Am not in the SPN fandom. Only watched the first four eps of SPN. Gave up.)

3. You should read Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief, The Queen of Attolia & The King of Attolia. It's children's book/YA/history-religious fantasy/THIEF. Because they are awesome (as awesome as Good Omens, in a different genre kind of way) and you can read them ON THE TRAIN/BUS/SUBWAY/PUBLIC TRANSPORT.

The following WIP would be more properly labeled as Arthur/Merlin/magic. I've always loved the idea of magic as a separate entity. There you have it, scorching hotness included.

:♥: Citrus 1a 1b 1c by skellerbvvt
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin, future OT4 (Morgana/Merlin/Arthur/Guin)
Kink, NC-17, slave!fic, mental revolutions, dub-con

Summary: The other bits of him, all little dust thoughts whirling around and him never quite catching them, never quite dwelling on them, they’re dancing attendance in his head, in his lungs, breathing them in and out as he works, as he watches, as he waits.

His magic was, and always had been, simply something he could do. Objects, all objects, wanted to move and he just let them.

[...]

His magic was ability: it reflected him. Now he was angry, extremely angry, with Arthur, enough to see some of the papers fluttering and the table jittering with the slightest tremors, begging to move. However, there, twirling through his veins, sitting in his mouth like the taste of cool, sweet plums, making the fire crackle and snap and rise, was something else. Something not him, something that made him hard and hot and something like hunger and something like thirst, and something like not enough.

skellerbvvt also wrote insane!broken!Merlin:

:♥: Penance (R, Dark themes, crazy Merlin, references to torture)
Summary: He had been...so...proud

( More Merlin recs: Harlequin's fics )

"The world is changed because you are made of ivory and jet. The curves of your lips rewrite history" <--I found this line in Maya's Drop Dead Gorgeous funny even though I didn't recognize the reference. (Until they pop up in another fanfic! In a different fandom!)
