sucker love is heaven sent

Tagged by psychotic_scam, six things you probably don't know about me.

1. I dream about alligators. Big ones. That try to eat me or people I love. A lot.
2. I sneeze at least once every time I eat something especially minty. Mostly Altoids.
3. My brother and I have conversations on a regular basis about things like how Reba McIntyre and Chris Jericho are orangutans and trying to take over the world, and we do it totally straight-faced.
4. I can inflict severe pain using just my toes.
5. The smell of Spaghetti-os and canned ravioli makes me nauseous (although I can eat both without a problem.)
6. I refuse to swim in anything except swimming pools because I'm terrified that even though it would defy logic, there are sharks in the water. Or if not sharks, at least dead bodies and their decaying flesh would get on me.

I am far too lazy to tag anyone specifically today. You should all do it because I'm terribly nosy.

I've been reading a lot of Alias fic lately, ok. (And my undying gratitude to mooyoo for links!) Mostly just stuff where Sark is involved, and mostly just slash. Although I have to admit that Sark/Lauren pings me pretty hard, and I don't even mind Sark/Sydney in small doses. Sark/Vaughn, or Sark/Will, or even Sark/Weiss, though? MAKES ME FEEL LIKE MY BRAIN IS SIZZLING IN MY SKULL. There are some really good pieces that I feel I must share, even if like, only two people on my list even care.



- Super-villains of the World Unite! by hackthis. It's a Smallville/Alias/Spiderman/HP/JLA/DC Comics/Marvel crossover, pretty crackalicious, but it's SARK. In the same room as LEX. With implied SLASHINESS. And it's written so well, and I love it.

- This Ain't a Scene, It's a Goddamn Arms Race by hackthis. It's an Alias/Burn Notice crossover, Sark/Michael, and listen. I don't even watch Burn Notice. I saw the pilot, so I knew who the main guy was, but other than that? Nope. And this fic is still amazing.

(hackthis is one of my favorites, she always seems to write in fandoms I enjoy and she's brilliant, but I kind of fangirl from afar. She has Kitchen Confidential fic, I mean, come on. Brilliant.)

- Somewhere Along the Way, And Then Again, and Having by Brix. Sark/Weiss, in this really kind of creepy, very Sark-like way that ends up being totally cute and romantic and yet somehow totally still in character.

- Like Walking On Knives by Auburn. Gen, Sark-centric, and it's long, but it's so freaking good. I don't know when it was written, sometime before we got a lot of information about Sark from the show, I'm guessing, so this kind of fills in the blanks. It's detailed and engrossing and wonderful, and I can't say too much about what's it's about or I'll give away the surprise, but it's definitely worth the read. The coda to the story is The Way We'll Go, and it's just as worth it.

- Worn by otter, Will/Vaughn. I didn't think much of the pairing until I read this, but it works so well in the context of their grief. Even without the slash aspect, it is a beatiful and heartbreaking piece about Will and Vaughn struggling with Sydney's death.

- Going Down by tigertrapped, Vaughn/Will, stuck in an elevator and thinking naughty thoughts about Sark. Oh yes.

- Down Among the Dead Men by tigertrapped, Vaughn/Sark, Will/Sark, and so very deliciously dark and disturbing. Vaughn gets a hold of Sark and exorcises his personal demons, Will hangs around.

- The Biter Bit by tigertrapped, Alias/Spooks crossover, Sark/Jools Siviter, Sark/Vaughn. Sark goes undercover for the CIA, dressed up to fit his mark's proclivities. I read this first without ever having seen an episode of Spooks, and as soon as I read it, I had to go find the episodes with Jools. It was a great read both before and after I knew who the guy was. If you haven't seen Spooks, just know that Jools is played by Hugh Laurie. :D

- Caveat Emptor by tigertrapped, Sark-centric gen. Jack takes Sark into his own custody and tries to get some answers, Eric Weiss plays babysitter.

Really anything by tigertrapped is probably a safe bet, I haven't read anything of hers I haven't liked, and in fact, I've read the ones I've recced above at least three times each in the past couple of weeks. Down Among the Dead Men, The Biter Bit, and Caveat Emptor are probably my very favorite Alias fics ever, and I've read a good number of them recently.

And one Heroes rec, which I found while catching up tags in heroes_fic, and totally off topic, but I put up a poll there yesterday to gauge tags usage, and I am kind of pathetically happy that so far it seems like people actually use tags in the manner I had intended.

- Five Games Sylar Never Played by sameoldhope. Gen, and just really brilliant. The writing, characterizations, just everything, I really really love this. I honestly don't even know how to explain this fic well enough to entice you to read it, but you really should.

As brought to my attention by lucentliz, the BBC promos for Heroes, which are gorgeous and I love them a lot. Claire, Bennet, Nathan. ETA: And Peter, courtesy of kerri_is_dead.

Also, kind of late mentioning it, but I got the most adorable Thanksgiving card from uneedmerchant. It has pumpkin pie on the cover! Yumyumyum. Thank you, sugar. ♥

You could be my running mate if so desired. Together we will dominate the world using underhanded tactics to confuse the masses about the difference between alligators and crocodiles.

NO YOU DIDN'T WTH. I LOVE THAT YOU ARE SLOWLY SINKING MORE AND MORE INTO DEPRAVITY, IT IS FTW. GOD AREN'T THEY JUST THE MOST EFFED UP EVER THOUGH? If you have fic links, I would probably not turn them down.

Um yeah that would probably work. DUH. I am still giddy! Lisa fanart cannot be topped, except that if it's Dean Lisa fanart (which sounds a little bit like I'm shipping Dean/Lisa WHICH I WOULD OK) it tops itself. Haha, dude, I am all for like, Happy March 5th, here's a present! :D So whenever. ♥

Our DIABOLICAL CONSPIRACY. Lolz so very evil.

I KNOW WTF??? I'm actually afraid to read any fic for them, because, um. Nooo. Anyway, Beaver/Mac is my pre-dead!Beaver OTP, and Dick/Mac is my post-dead!Beaver OTP (because they are the only ones who gave a shit about him, seriously, BEAVER IS SO TRAGIC, SERIOUSLY, I AM IN LOVE WITH THE BOY, and Mac and Dick will be angsty and mourn him together and accidentally bond and play video games in Logan's hotel room and be snarky at each other), so I'm not sure where Beaver/Dick fits into my personal canon. BUT IT'S THERE SOMEWHERE.

Okay so I totally can't find the fic that I place the blame on, but apparently I emailed my friend complaining about my spiral into depravity and quoted the entire passage that I place the blame on, so if you can find it from this you should totally read it and then link it to me so that I may bookmark it. I thought it was a regular old Veronica/Logan fic and then it punched me in the stomach with this:

The rumor is that Dick was outside in his truck, fooling around with Shelly or smoking pot. Or both, at the same time. The rumor is that when that Ford Taurus's car alarm started going off, Dick got out to complain. The rumor is that Beaver's eyes were still open and his jaw was knocked completely loose of his face. The rumor is that the cops had to drag Dick away almost an hour later. The rumor is that his brother's blood was all over his t-shirt.

The truth is that Beaver was always the smart one. The truth is that Beaver scored 400 points higher than Dick did on his SATs, and that it would've been even more if Beaver hadn't spent a couple weeks trying to explain the concept of analogies. The truth is that when they were little, Beaver pretended he still didn't know how to read for almost a whole year so that Dick wouldn't feel embarrassed.

The truth is that Beaver was supposed to be the one who made it.


YEAH. HOW COULD I NOT LIKE THEM AFTER FUCKING READING THAT. It is like Sam/Dean but sadder because Beaver doesn't come back to life. :( :( :(

PS: I'm a hardcore Sam/Lisa shipper myself. Because mmmmmmm braindead. *points down* Sorry, Dean-O.

[quarterturn.livejournal.com]

Now I'm gonna have to go trolling for Dick/Beaver (which sounds oh so very wrong) fic, aren't I? DAMMIT LISA. I am already waist-deep in depravity as I try to write this Hayden/Kristen Heroes RPF. :-/

Fic. (http://dontyouwaitup.livejournal.com/12352.html) And uh yeah, I'm gonna have to devour that asap. Because just that passage made me search madly for it until I found it.

UM HELLO SWEATYDIRTYMUSCLEY JARED. AND WITH THE GLOVES AND GUH.

[whirligigged.livejournal.com]

Yes! I LOVE YOU. God, and I had dontyouwaitup bookmarked too, haha, because of all the fucking amazing Sam/Dean fic, but I didn't remember she'd written that VM one.

>.> Link me to any good ones you find? Because, um. I'm scared to go looking myself. It seems like a pairing that is FAR too easy to fuck up.

Hayden/Kristen omg no seriously, I love you. I want to have little half-Lisa half-Jess babies! Yaaaay.

Also Jared says hi. From my bed, which is where I am keeping him forever and ever. He can raise our kids. I will let Jensen keep him company also, providing there are smooches involved? PROMISE, JARED.

Lol my fandoms are so fucked up. All the RPF and crossovers are melding in my head. Kristen Bell/Jason Dohring as Elle/Josef, I know I've said it but I'm telling you. It's hot. Electric girls and vampires are just naturally meant to go together.

[quarterturn.livejournal.com]

Obvs I will be linking. Probably profusely, and all over my flist. Because I like to see how many others on my flist are into the dirtywrongbad.

lmao oh god, Lisa, it is so bad. I have never felt guilty in my LIFE for writing fic, and suddenly I'm like, BUT GOD SHE IS SO YOUNG I AM SUCH A PERV. :(

Our babies would be full of win, that is obvious. And Jared would raise our kids, or your kids? Like, Jess/Lisa babies or Lisa/Jared babies? I AM SO CONFUSED. However, any combination of Jess/Lisa/Jared/Jensen is all amazing, so. Confused is ok.

YESSSSS. That would be AWESOME. Like where she's still pretty psycho and a total sociopath but he puts up with her 'cause she's pretty and dangerous and totally off her rocker, and it makes his four-hundred-year-old existence interesting. NEED IT NOW.

[whirligigged.livejournal.com]

WHATEVER. I go with the Sheriff Lamb philosophy: she's eighteen, it's legal! Lol, actually, I suppose it's the opposite for me right now and in the extremely odd event of me hooking up with Hayden Panettiere, she'd be the one arrested, lol. DID YOU HEAR ABOUT HER ALMOST GETTING ARRESTED IN JAPAN FOR TRYING TO SAVE THE DOLPHINS? I could not be more in love with that girl.

Jared would raise all of our kids. They would be Jess/Lisa/Jared/Jensen hybrids, and they will continue the legacy of our CAMPAIGN OF LIES, spreading false information about sewer-dwelling reptiles and also probably spreading joy throughout the world with their hotness.

EXACTLY. I suggested it to my friends and they were like, "Yes! But she has to be sane," and I was like WHAT NO THAT TOTALLY RUINS IT. I got the idea from that time Angel made out with the electric chick Gwen and his heart started beating and, just, HOW PERFECT that Logan and Veronica are reincarnated as an electric chick and a supremely hot vampire?

Probably they'd capture him thinking he was one of the powered evolutionized species, and she'd make some crazy eyes and crazy smooches at him, and he'd totally be all, okayz a little crazy but wow HOT, so when he inevitably escaped and she came after him maybe he would capture her and keep her as his own pet. When she tries to electrocute him, all it does is get his blood pumping a bit more than usual. <3 Lolz, maybe her blood tastes fizzy, too. And you know she'd totally be into it eventually because, hey, a boyfriend! She's been LONELY, and Josef is Fun Times. They are so perfect.

[quarterturn.livejournal.com]

lmao SHERIFF LAMB FTW. Thank you for making me feel ok about my perviness. :D HAHA YES OMG SHE IS AMAZING. I read somewhere someone asked if she was worried about it, and basically her reaction was like NAH WE'RE IN AMERICA NOW. lol.

That...is possibly the best thing I've ever heard in my life. We will be like the royal family. Except that we would rule and Jared and Jensen would babysit/sit around and look pretty.

UGH NO. Sanity ruins EVERYTHING. alkdjsfasldk I totally forgot about that episode of Angel! Oh man, oh man. You should probably tell me you're going to write it otherwise I'm gonna start writing it and never finish it like every single other thing I ever do.

lmao oh my god okayz a little crazy coming from Josef makes me want to die a little in the best possible way.

[whirligigged.livejournal.com]

Everyone can feel better about their own perviness if they stand next to Sheriff "I smell bread" Lamb! I MISS HIM. How are people supposed to feel okay about themselves if they can't look at Lamb and think, "Okay, at least I am not him"???

Your icon both confuses and delights me and I can't wait to have his hybrid babies. <3

YES DOESN'T IT. Except I can't actually write it because I've never seen an episode of Moonlight, haha. I WOULD NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT YOU WRITING IT, THOUGH. Lol, eventually I will watch the show and maybe if you haven't actually finished it you can send it to me and I will be like one of those hack authors who attempt to finish the brilliant authors' sequels because the brilliant author, like, died or something random and never finished it. And the brilliant author will ROLL IN THEIR GRAVE at the defilement of their work, but it's okay Jess I will dig you back up and demand that you fix it because it's going to be horrible. Our hybrid babies may be awesome but what I do to fic is not. XD

HOLY SHIT, GOOGLE. GUESS WHAT GOOGLE JUST GAVE ME.

http://community.livejournal.com/josef_elle/

Yeah, baby. I love life. Though it's kind of empty, haha. I'm thinking that it's going to end up as one of those obscure comms that the really good writers abandon early if they join at all, but I haven't read any of the fics there yet so maybe I am jumping the gun on being mean. We shall see!

[quarterturn.livejournal.com]

I would hire Sheriff Lamb to stand next to me at all times so I could basically be as big an asshole as I wanted to be and still feel like hey, there's still another level to descend to.

lmao puppy!Sammy, in all his glory.

Oh Lisa, it is SO BAD. Like, SO SO BAD. I don't even know how to explain the badness. But there is Josef, which makes some of the badness seem...less bad. Not good, by any means, but less bad.

HA HA HA. First of all, WHY ARE YOU KILLING ME OFF IN THIS SCENARIO I AM SLIGHTLY DISTURBED. Secondly, you are amazing and I will not even tolerate this self-deprecation.

I will be e-mailing you shortly. >.>

[whirligigged.livejournal.com]

Noooo, my one hope of awesome Josef/Elle. I'm so lazy. I hate those scenarios in which you picture something perfect, go out to find it, find it done BADLY, and thus are forced to take it into your own hands. HATE IT. Because usually when I do it myself it comes out, um, not the way I wanted it to. D: Also I am out of practice writing. I have written ONE thing since about August, sob sob.

Okayz. <3

PS: Dude I need to change my icons, I am not covering enough ground in my emotions here. You'd think three "I am ridiculously happy!" icons would be enough BUT IT'S NOT.

[quarterturn.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, no! I was actually talking about the show being full of badness. :D

Sometimes I am so angry about the lack of more space for icons, because like 113 just isn't enough to cover my interests and the subcategories therein, but right now I can't find enough to fill them up because all I want are David Anders icons and so few people make them. :(

[whirligigged.livejournal.com]

Haha, whatever, man. I have six! And I don't use my Claire one too often. I guess I should replace it with something I would use, but...*lazy* Weirdly, five icons is usually enough, but sometimes one gets into multi-fandom conversations such as this and that's when I am like "I need some icons of pregnant Jared, and of Hayden rescuing a dolphin, and of Elle and Josef killing people together." (IT IS THEIR COUPLE TIME.)

I NEED to watch this show. On the one hand I am afraid, and on the other hand - Vampire Logan. So.

[quarterturn.livejournal.com]

lmao oh man. I need a Jess/Lisa icon for this very situation. BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO.

I actually have the first three eps up, would you like the links? Because really, the only thing that could make this show any better is to have people to make fun of it with but also cherish the vampire!Logan.

[whirligigged.livejournal.com]

That'd be great! I'm going to have to put watching it off for a little while still, but probably I will end up making time anyway because I am self-destructive like that.

Jess/Lisa: REQUIRES EXCESSIVE CAPS LOCK.

Dude, you have the buttsex icon! Yeah, totally my first thought when I saw that scene. "Peter, why are you being such a dumbass and letting him out of -- HEY LOOK BUTTSECKS."
