happy-making things

[topaz119]

My list of things that made me happy is growing violently out of control; this is the first part, from my super-awesome, super-talented flist. I'm going to take it as given that I'll have forgotten to comment at least once even with people I know, so please take this as a blanket "thank you; I really enjoyed it!"

Aloha, Dr Watson, by ariadnes_string, Hawaii Five-0/Sherlock, pre-series gen, Steve, John, PG, ~2300 words === I'm developing quite the thing for Martin Freeman's quietly competent John Watson. This is Steve and John in Afghanistan and it rings very true to both canons.

Fudge You, by deirdre_c, Supernatural, Adult NSFW, vid (the full-uncut Cee Lo song) === Dean is less than impressed with the whole concept of Sam/Castiel, which actually is pretty amusing.

This Town's Religion, by destina, Top Gun, PG, vid === We've covered my Navy flyboy issues around here pretty thoroughly, but destina does them one better in this vid by filtering the movie through Charlie. I got a little incoherent and babbled at her, and I still don't have much sensible to say about it. Let's just leave it that it struck me on a LOT ("") of different levels.

Leeward, by dotfic, Hawaii Five-0, pre-series gen, PG, 1000 words === This is Chin and Kono, growing up, and it says so much in just a thousand words.

hum a few bars, we'll remember the tune, by killabeez, Supernatural, gen, PG, ~1500 words === silverbullets has only been going for about a week, but I'm not sure how I got through without a near-daily dose of unapologetic shmoop. This one is Sam and Dean, in that special Winchester way where it doesn't matter if it's Wincest or not because they're so entwined regardless.

Raindrops, by lilly_the_kid, Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny, PG, vid === One of the things that makes me happy about H5-0 is that they have these small, quiet moments that they sprinkle in between the chases and the explosions and the stunts and the yelling. They're telling in what they don't say but show, and this vid captures a lot of them (including possibly my favorite of those quiet moments.)

This Year's Wars, by luzdeestrellas, Supernatural, Sam/Dean, PG, ~1200 words === Another one from silverbullets, this one is another way that we (all of us, including Dean) are so freaking happy Sam is Sam again.

The Suspension, by tjournal, Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny, PG, ~5000 words === You know it's going to happen sooner or later--"full means and immunity" can only cover so much collateral damage and there's no way our Steve isn't going to blow through those limits. And, of course, Danny's going to be the one to deal with the fallout, even if he is making Steve pay for dinner. WiP but noting it here so I don't lose track of it.

Faster, faster, faster..., by withdiamonds, Hawaii Five-0, Chin/Danny, PG-13, 1000 words === Danny is surrounded by adrenaline junkies, and that includes one Chin Ho Kelly and his motorcycle. Certain portions of Danny's anatomy are completely on-board with that. Very funny, very Danny, very Five-0.

Also, powrhug has assorted drabbles (the exactly 100 word kind) and some longer fic with various pairings in H5-0 indexed here. God knows I love me some Steve/Danny but it's nice to have a different pairing occasionally.

Thank you for the rec! :)

[topaz119.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Thank you for 3 minutes of helpless laughter. :D

You know, of course, that I just do the "other" pairings to be contrary and subversive. =)

I appreciate the rec(s).

[topaz119.livejournal.com]

Well, you know I'm trying to write All The Pairings for this show. I'm not even trying to be contrary!

[kare.livejournal.com]

This I know!

[lilly-the-kid.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the rec!
:)

[topaz119.livejournal.com]

You're welcome--thank you for the vid!

[shinycuba.livejournal.com]

OH! My heart! Wonderful fic to read, and it all looks new to me! I'm going to enjoy this <3 Thank you so much!

(and new ep tonigh, SQUEE)

[topaz119.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! and a very fun new ep, too!

[ariadnes-string.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the rec! and, as always, for the awesome list of stuff to read and watch!

[topaz119.livejournal.com]

You're most welcome for both and I'm fairly certain Martin is going to end up in my Big Bang this year, just because I can't resist him!

[ariadnes-string.livejournal.com]

eee! really? Martin? or John? In your H50 BB? so excited!

I've been trying to persuade myself not to write a sequel in which John comes to Hawaii--I just can't seem to quit him ;)

[topaz119.livejournal.com]

hee--Martin, though more or less playing John, but for my SPN BB, which is (god help me) a Jeff/Jensen Regency AU. I'm pulling in every actor I can think of, Martin included. Captain Sir Martin Freeman of the British expeditionary forces in Portugal and Spain.

[ariadnes-string.livejournal.com]

I love it!

[dotfic.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the rec and for all the yummy links. <3

[topaz119.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome, and your icon is so true!

[without-me.livejournal.com]

Yay, whee recs! I will point out that This Year's Wars isn't gen--which was a lovely surprise for me (not that I object to good gen, which is why I clicked), but might be less nice for people not of that persuasion.

[topaz119.livejournal.com]

sigh. Clearly, I need to wait until I get home to post on Mondays, because all kinds of things are slipping past my brain. Thank youuuuuuu for cleaning up after me!
