He was twirled, whirled, and whipped around. He bounced,
jumped, leapt. He jigged, tapped, stomped. He laughed and sang and laughed
again.
Q-Branch was having a party. He couldn’t remember the occasion;
something to do with him. But once it had been discovered that he liked to
dance, someone had hurried to put on some music, and now they were all having
the time of their lives.
He danced as freely as he did at home; he had no shame. He
knew he looked ridiculous, and he didn’t care. He was dancing with Eve, and
they were flirting with their bodies; friend-flirts, fun-flirts. There was no
real passion behind it. It was just fun. He was… happy. For the first time in
months, he was happy.
(NGL, stole this idea from @sassafrasx who created an amazing list of participants in the Merlin fandomand Kingsman fandomso if you are interested in either, you should definitely go check those lists of contributors out!)
Now, without further ado:
I’m sure many of you have heard about the Fandom Trumps Hate Charity Auction happening right now (and if you haven’t, check out their site and FAQ here) which is raising money for charities, such as The American Civil Liberties Union, the Anti-Defamation League, Border Angels, Planned Parenthood and a dozen or so other wonderful charities with amazing causes.
So what does that mean for you? Basically, there are some amazing people offering to create all sorts of James Bond things for you…in exchange for a charitable donation, of course! As far as I can see, this isn’t limited to 00Q, but be sure to read the participant’s OFFER PAGE or contact the creator to see if they are offering additional pairings or general content!
Bidding is open until January 19th 11:59PM EST, so be sure to get your bids in now! (Want to know what time that is for you? Check your timezone here)
Can’t donate? Don’t worry about it, but be sure to share the love and signal boost so we can get this to those who may be able to offer donations to these amazing charities!
I am seriously overthinking this…
Hey beans, do we know Katie Pine’s husband’s name?
Day 5: In
your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you didn’t
create.
Today’s theme is: ~Royalty AUs~
The Student Prince by
FayJay | Merlin | Arthur/Merlin | Mature | 145,222 words | I’ve only ever seen
about half a Merlin ep, so I’m sure there’s stuff I can’t fully
appreciate about this modern AU where Merlin and Arthur are roommates at
university, and that’s probably a good thing because this fic’s already so
fantastic just thinking about it sends me into a swoon. Every character is my
favorite, and the setting’s so real it’s like you’re actually there. And hey,
look at this: FayJay
even made a podfic of it.
strive seek find yield by waldorph | Star Trek Reboot | Kirk/Spock | Explicit | 68,199 words | Spock and
Jim are princes who fall in love and decide to get married and also fight
Klingons. Spock’s human side is a little more developed in this AU, and while I
always notice it, I still can’t tell how I feel about it except for the fact it
works. He’s still Spock, just a little more open. Still wound super-tight
though. Because he’s Spock. Jim is Jim, even as Prince of America, and there are
tons of great supporting characters, and a war, but it’s mostly about Jim and
Spock and how they love each other so, so much. Podfic by ofsevenseas, that
link takes you to a locked AO3 entry, but the files are hosted, unlocked, at the audiofic archive.
Ever After by
beederiffic | Pinto | NC-17 | 44,000 words | This one’s tricky because it’s
friends-locked on LJ, and I don’t know how active beederiffic is these days, but
when I friended them a few years ago, I got friended back quickly and was able
to read this, so it’s worth a try. Chris and Zach are medievalish princes
contemplating marriage for the good of their kingdoms, but then Zach gets beset
by bandits and must be nursed back to health! And if you can’t get to this and
I’ve just ruined your whole day, I can offer you SuedeScripture’s The Princess Diaries (And
Me), a modern day royalty AU RPF mashup of The Princess Diaries
and The Prince & Me. It’s a wip, but it’s almost done, and it’s really great.
