shouting at windmills

This is a somewhat belated post, since Yuletide was already declassified on Sunday. But I really think I should be excused on account of being somewhat sick and still recovering from not-so-great holidays. (Not as bad as that maybe sounds, but not cheerful either.) One of the good parts of them was Yuletide.

I received a Warehouse 13 fic centered around Claudia. The author works with a really clever idea of a Warehouse feature and gave me Claudia just as I like her: brilliant and funny with a dash of kinda-crazy: Seventeen by justhuman.

I was assigned Haven, a fandom I hadn't written before, with a request for the OT3, which I haven't really done before either. It was an example of great Yuletide matchmaking. I enjoyed writing this so much. It reminded me how much I liked this season of Haven and how much I love the characters. And watching the Christmas episode along the way just poured oil into the flames. I have templemarker to thank for the great prompt that inspired me to write this for her:

Proverbial Trees
Rated adult, Audrey/Duke/Nathan, just shy of 10k words.
It didn't seem real before. Not until Duke got a third set of dishes for his boat.

*sighs* I do love Yuletide and the excitement and the gifts (giving and receiving) that come with it. Until next year.

I did it again. I went, "Oh, I don't think I'll ever watch this show. Doesn't look like it's for me." Then, for whatever reason, I take a peek and fall hard for it. I think it's a pattern.

So, this is a Hawaii 5-0 Steve/Danny pre-slash fic, rated PG-13, 8000 words. It refers to events in Powa Maka Moana (1.17), but is otherwise without serious spoilers. It was improved by the invaluable beta skills of trystings. The title was inspired by Interpol's "All Fired Up".



( The first time it happened, there was a grenade involved. That's all Danny's got to say about The Incident. It's all anyone really needs to know about it. )

SPN fic, Dean/Castiel, with a bit of Castiel/Meg and a tiny smidgen of Dean/Castiel/Meg.
4200 words, rated NC-17. Featuring voyeurism, sort of.

This is a sequel to Proxy, which is mainly Castiel/Meg and should definitely be read first.

Thank you to icelily01 for the beta!


Sam looks up from his computer, does a double take and says incredulously, 'Dude, is that a hickey?'
'No,' Castiel denies immediately.
Dean moves closer and squints at the spot in question. Castiel flushes bright red under the scrutiny, and yeah, that's totally a hickey.

Yes, still here, not dead. Am now located in new apartment and slightly incapacitated at the moment. I shouldn't even be typing. Ah, well, this list was mostly typed up, anyway, and just needed posting. (Now edited - twice - because apparently I fail at alphabetizing. *headdesks*)

The majority of these recs are the result of my browsing through the recent deancasbigbang and Secret Angels IV fic exchange, plus a few from-- all over, really.

Full list here. New recs ( here )

This is a tag for the SPN episode 5.16, with spoilers up to then. It's a "what if" kind of thing that sends things off in an AUish direction. As for the Joan of Arcadia connection-- This is set about five years after the series finale.

Gen, rated PG-13, ~7700 words. In which Joan plays celestial FedEx girl once again.

This was beta'd by icelily01 and mshaffer (Thank you, guys!) und fiddled with afterwards by me. Title borrowed from "Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors" by the Editors.


( Someone Turn Us Around )

Post "Swan Song", with spoilers up to then.
Rated PG-13, 8800 words, Dean/Lisa and Dean/Castiel pre-slash, Lisa's point of view.
Thank you to icelily01 for the beta!

( Dean has been staying with Lisa and Ben for two months, and he still insists on sleeping on the couch )

So. Dean/Castiel fic recs.

And because I'm lazy, I'm not changing the running (McKay/Sheppard kind of) system:

This collection of recs is sorted by category. The one I chose for a fic should already tell you a lot about the reasons I like it. Because all the fics on this list are very well-written and with great characterization I'm going to mention it here and get it out of the way. The individual recs include only short, more specific comments (like rec'd for...), or quotes, which are indicated by italics. Call me lazy (again), but I'd hate to spoil anyone with too much detail.

( The List )

Okay, so I probably shouldn't have written this, since I have so little time and so much to stuff to do. But all work and no play...

Supernatural, gen , PG-13, 5000 words. Set sometime between 5.18 and 5.21. Spoilers up to then. And also: speculation. Beta'd by the fabulous trystings.



( Dean gets it. He finally gets it. )

This is the second batch of Supernatural recs. Again Dean/Castiel, unless otherwise indicated.
