Happy belated birthday, shaggydogstail!

It occurs to me I did a lousy job of announcing quantum_witch's and my latest collab at switchythings on Sunday--all cryptic and vague for no reason. But readers seem to have found it anyway.

I'll just do it properly now because I'd hate for anybody who's interested to miss it:

Remember Who You're Talking To
Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley
Rating: NC-17 (and NWS art)
Summary: There is an argument. Aziraphale proves a point--and not just the one he intended.
Warnings/Adverts: Kinky.
Author's Note: The 30_lemons prompt was #1 "Anonymity," or "Taken By the Faceless Stranger." You think that was an easy one for these guys? And setting a story in what is basically Kipling's India kept making me want to write Crowley an ignominious discorporation-by-mongoose, which is counterproductive to teh pr0n.

Yup, locked to members. Cause it's just that dirty. QW and I are putting some thought into what we'll do to celebrate when we pick up our 200th member, which is scarily not that far off. Suggestions welcome!

Here are some miscellaneous fics I've really enjoyed lately:

Completion by kallisti78

Fandom: HP Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos
Pairing: Azathoth/Nyarlathotep
Rating: NC-17
Her warning is priceless: “Formless and insane interdimensional horrors mating. What more warning do you need?”

This is really starkly beautiful. Trusssst me.


Those Other Things by use_theforce_em

Fandom: Good Omens
Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley
Rating: R

Sweet and startling dream-sex story with some absolutely gorgeous imagery and fresh metaphysical turns that manage to enrich the paradox of just how human they are and just how human they aren't.

And thanks to defaultlyric for reminding me this exists!

Harry Potter and the Eagle of Truthiness by Christine Morgan

Fandom: Obvious, innit? :D
Rating: Unrated. I'd say PG for language.

The new DADA teacher is an American with BALLS. Oh, and he's a bald eagle Animagus! Considering that Stephen Colbert had already written himself as a Gary Stu into Middle-earth, this is metafanfic with so many layers it makes me cry like an onion. In a good way.

Also, if you feel like joining world_cup_slash, there's a very nicely done (friendslocked) PG-rated short, "Attention-Seeker," by grondfic that explains the Zidane/Materazzi incident in just the right way....

Excellent story and I would highly rec it to those who for some strange reason have not read it yet :o)

Wow, thank you. So glad it holds up to re-reads. :)

[andrea--88.livejournal.com]

Oh, the Eagle of Truthiness is soooo good! I wish I knew Colbert's private e-mail, because I'd be sending that to him in a heartbeat!

By the way, this is for you, dear: http://driftglass.blogspot.com/2006/07/sometimes-week-gone-by-just-plain.html

Still fun on the re-read, and how! 89

*snork* Good call, my dear -- one or the other, not both (and I believe you chose the better part!)

For some reason I'm not authorized to view the entry at switchythings. I'm checking out the other things you linked to, though.

Eep. That's because you only clicked to add the comm to your friendslist, not actually to join it.

[catherinecookmn.livejournal.com]

Ah. That's my problem!
