Recs and Things.

[dodger_sister]

I bought The Nephew some Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books for his birthday - (my brothers and I used to be so into those as kids) - and I just read through one to see if it was any good. I went on three different adventures in the same book and got three different endings; the embassy sent me back to the United States and I had to give up my quest for the mysterious jewels, I got inducted into a secret society, and I died. Pretty fun!

Also, I watched the season finale of Vikings yesterday and I have a few things to say...Gyda!! Athelstan's face! His stupid face. /clutches him to my chest/ JFC, Ragnar, you are an asshole. This show is so fucking good! I am impressed with The History Channel.

I watched this week's Chicago Fire as well. I was not onboard with that storyline about Severide at all, for Reasons, but I thought the way he brought it to a head this week was pretty fucking awesome. I loved everything between Herrmann and Boden. Seriously, cartoon hearts appear in my vision every time Herrmann is on screen. I am so confused by him though - do I want him to marry me or adopt me? IDK! I haven't been this confused about a man since Bobby Singer. It was just a really good episode all around - (they usually are). My only complaint is that it should have been Severide who went to Casey at the end, not Peter. Just cuz, Feelings.

Now I fic rec you.

Echo - Reid stops talking after Tobias Henkel. After a while, Morgan can't remember his voice. - Reid & Morgan Gen fic that was just So Good for me. Reid-pain and Morgan-pain and it is all like a little delicious cookie of angst.

Cloudburst - There are some things you just can't ignore - Jo/Kat Adult fic. Post-hunt porn...is there anything better? Seriously, this is so ridiculously hot in like an "I'll be in my bunk" kind of way. And anyways, it's all liptonrm's fault that Jo/Kat are my femslash pairing of OTP to begin with!

Under Your Influence (The Way It Works Like Caffeine) - The one where Bruce and Darcy try to have a date. - The first Bruce/Darcy fic I read after deciding they were my Avengers OTP and it hit all my buttons perfectly. Bruce's awkwardness is just lovely, Tony is awesome and there is bonus!Peter Parker. Also, Darcy-Clint-bffs is my new headcanon.

Thanks For Nothing - Jackson is not a nice person and he doesn't do nice things. So when he finds out Danny has a thing for Stiles, he definitely doesn't try to get them together. Really. - I'm all about Danny/Stiles and I fucking love Jackson for reasons that Danny actually explains perfectly in this fic. Also, the Danny-voice here is spot-on. A Danny/Stiles fic that might actually be about Jackson's issues and it was everything I needed!

Unnamed Poem - wolfrider89 says she wrote this right after watching Reichenbach Falls and holy shit, does it paint an image in my head of John Watson trying to escape the ghost of Sherlock. On top of it, it is also a really good piece of poetry that speaks in a very raw way of what it's like to be the person left behind.

Enjoy those! I'm going to work on my anniversary answers this weekend, so if you still want to ask me a question, you can do that here.

I loved Choose Your Own Adventure books, they were so much fun.

The writing style was not the best on the ones I got - kind of choppy - and I can't tell if that is just how C-Y-O-A always are (hard to remember after all these years) or if these were just not written all that well. But I still had fun reading through and finding out what my ending would be, so I know The Nephew will too. Also importantly, since he reads through like two chapter books a week, these will last him awhile, since he can keep rereading them and having different adventures.

Vikings is so good, I want to go back and rewatch the entire season.

Right? Who would have thought The History Channel had it in them? I have all the episodes still in the recycle bin on the Tivo and I am hoping that once Arrow is off for the season (the show M and I watch together on Friday afternoons) that I can convince M to give it a try. Bonus is I'll get to rewatch it myself!

How do you think the interview went? I know you said on your journal that it seemed like the kind of school that you would be a better fit with.

I haven't reread them since I was young so they probably wouldn't hold up that well, but I have good memories of them.

I will happily watch them with you as I don't enjoy watching stuff on my laptop if a tv is available.

The interview felt like it went well, it was on Skype so weird as she kept being in shadow. It felt positive other than some bumps of how do I talk about where I am now. I really should do more job stuff today but I'm just exhausted.

I think instead I'll have fun making the fic better, I'm glad to know you liked it and will send you another draft soon.
