entirely ruined her disposition with books

Hey, y'all! Have some recs!

+ Tangled: Freudian.
*AU* Flynn Rider's terms of parole include going to therapy, and they don't expressly forbid hanging around with that one awkward graffiti girl.
OMG Y'ALL READ THIS. A contemporary AU of the best kind, it makes me flaily and happy and it's just deliriously wonderful. I cannot even. It's a WIP, but it was recently updated, so I think it's safe to start it.

+ Vampire Diaries: Talk You Down.
Use your heart, not your head.
Grayson and Miranda Gilbert have an important discussion. I wouldn't have thought I'd enjoy a fic about Elena and Jeremy's parents but this is a great little look at life in Mystic Falls.

+ The Book Thief: pro patria mori
It is good and sweet to die for one's country—because if you say a lie long enough, loud enough, and often enough, people are going to believe it—ten people who didn't.
OH MY HEART. Read this if you've read the book and let your heart bleed.

+ Wizards of Waverly Place: call that a comeback
Alex destroys the world. But really, its all Justin's fault. Written for apocabigbang at LJ. Post 'Wizards vs. Werewolves.'
ALEX RUSSO CAUSES THE APOCALYPSE. I know it's a stupid kids' show on the Disney Channel, but I love Alex and Justin so much. And ever_neutral, if you don't know Alex Russo, you should change that. YOU WOULD LOVE HER.

+ Nu!Trek: World as We Know It
Leonard McCoy doesn't hate Jim ALL the time. Just, you know. Mostly. // You couldn’t subdue Jim Kirk if you put a muzzle on him. And anyway, McCoy’s looked it up, and they don’t make them for humans. Jim/Bones friendship.
Kirk/Bones is my favorite bromance. THESE BOYS.

+ Doctor Who: the woman named to-morrow
Of course she misses it.
A little slice of Martha/Mickey, that appreciates them both. Why is there not more of this in the world?

+ Life with Derek: move in circles around you
disasters are kind of their specialty.
I don't understand why there is so much quality Derek/Casey fic in the world, but I am so glad there is. Here's the latest.

+ Sherlock: Sustain (or Concerto for the Famished in D Minor)
"So now you're behaving like a six year old 'cause he didn't take you along on his honeymoon?" Lestrade said. "Grow the hell up."
Um, so this is a Molly/Sherlock fic. A long Molly/Sherlock fic. A believable Molly/Sherlock fic. So, um, you should probably read it.

+ Hunger Games: The Unrecorded Hours
Katniss and Peeta in the weeks and months after the war.
Oh, hey! It's a long, satisfying fic about the Katniss/Peeta stuff I really wanted to see which is: when they actually fall in love (because I'm not convinced it happens in the books. I have very mixed feelings about this pairing and its potential vs. its execution. Anyway). This is kind of moody and quiet and it makes loads of sense. It fits perfectly in before the epilogue and it's become canon to me.

+ Hunger Games: Scylla and Charybdis
Finnick decides that, come hell or high water, he is bringing his tribute home from the seventieth Hunger Games. That tribute is Annie Cresta. But Finnick never thought that he would have to choose between bringing her home and keeping her safe, and he wants both. How Annie Cresta crept up on Finnick Odair.
I SHIP IT SO HAAAAARD. I want ALL the Finnick/Annie fic. Gah, I love living in Finnick's head. Best boy.

+ Hunger Games: and our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears
Johanna and Finnick flirt with rebellion, and learn that the Capitol has teeth.
This fic hurts my heart, but in the best way. Gah.

+ mollivanders has some thoughts on Molly Hooper which are excellent. Oh, oh, oh Molly.

+ upupa_epops has brilliant, brilliant thoughts on Katherine and Elena (and by extension Damon and Stefan)

+ lutamira has stats about the Oscar noms that are simultaneously depressing and not at all surprising. [eta--this is flocked, too! But the article is here and if you want to rant, you can totally do it here in the comments]

And now I'm going to go back to work/taking breaks to read Derek/Casey fic because who am I.

Y'all, apparently womenlovefest is going to be coming back in March. And I am tempted to claim Molly Hooper. Like, really tempted. And write lots of fic including my newly-developed crossover fantasy with Doctor Who where Rory Williams is her younger half-brother and she hangs out with Amy. And maybe another crossover where she's a companion. And fic about her dumping Moriarty. And fic about her being the mastermind behind Moriarty.

This is a thing that I should do. Right?

+ Okay, so episode two of Sherlock was a bit of a let-down. Not bad, just not nearly as delightful as the first one and also with some ooky-feeling race!fail. You could totally tell that Moffat didn't write this episode. Does anyone know if he wrote the next one? And is it only three episodes? I want MOAR!

+ Job search: applied for an administrative assistant position in one of the departments at my alma mater (I like calling it that. It makes me feel accomplished). If I got it, I would get to eat lunch with my sister and cousins (the ones who will deign to be seen with me) and see my former professors a lot more. It isn't my ideal job, obviously, but it would be five minutes from my house and pay more than I'm currently making. Which are good things.

I also updated my resume (which looks much more impressive now that I've had a year more of experience. I also moved my educational stuff below my work experience now, which makes it look like I've accomplished things outside of school! Yay me!). Other than that, I have done nothing, and I feel guilty but I just can't. This job search is going to kill me unless something falls into my lap.

+ Tomorrow: pancakes at the crack of dawn at the best pancake place in town! With my friends! Yay!

+ Also, I am seriously sitting here considering rewatching all of The Vampire Diaries. And also thinking that I ship Damon/Elena a whole lot more than I thought I did. Because I have been dreaming about it. Is that a weird thing to admit? I think my dreams, which have always been vivid and not-with-the-sense-making, have become more interesting and easier to remember since I went on this medication, and I sort of love it. Anyways, for some reason, TVD keeps popping up in various ways in my dreams.

Also, I rewatched the ComicCon teaser for the new season (will they EVER release a good-quality version?), and I have some thoughts.

( spoilers! )

Yeah. I'm gonna go rewatch now. Toodles!

PEOPLE!

SHERLOCK!

WATCH IT!

I was like this:



the entire time!

The only word for this is delightful!

Moffat, I want to have your babies!

WATCH IT WATCH IT EVERYONE!

Re: my last post: apparently, the position has been filled. SUCK. So, thanks for all your support, but that won't be my new job. *sigh*
