Innocent Smiles, by Emma Lea Marion (PG-13)

  • Nov. 9th, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Fandom: Highlander
Pairing: none
Length: ~5K
Author on LJ: none, as far as I know
Author Website: Shores of Loch Shiel
Why this must be read: Highlander fics that explore the mystical are not rare. SImilarly, fics that explore what it's like for one of the characters after they become Immortal are not rare. What makes this one well worth reading is the mix of mysticism and myth. The author writes incredibly descriptive prose, lighting the story with both an Immortal mysticism and a Celtic one. She also answers just why Ramirez went to find Connor. At the same time, this is not just about Connor, but also Methos and his future.

Why this must be read: Pepper Potts runs into Christine Everhart at a book signing. It is awkward. They are formal. They find some common ground. They act like a pair of mature, intelligent adults, who have quite a bit in common. How often do you find that in your fiction? Action-adventure genre fiction, moreover.

Hi,
I tried this awhile ago, and I am hoping someone has run across this fic in the last couple months.  It's a rather unusual premise, but I would really like to re read it.  It may have been/be a WIP.

Tony is in a relationship with a OMC naval officer, possibly a Captain.  The guy was involved in special ops or something similar - he may have been on a SEAL team.  Unfortunately, the guy was killed in the Middle East, and the story sort of revolves around the team finding out about Tony's partner, the house they shared etc.  There is a mantle with what the author called something similar to, "the usual family at home wall" or something with that sense that had pictures on the mantle, and the flag from the funeral.

I really hope someone is familiar with this fic, as I remember it decently, but have been trying to track it down for months.
Thanks,
Nyx

Anyone see the Tier 10 sets yet?

All I can say is Ew! The gear makes me so not willing to explore end content for my 80 druid. I haven't played her in a while.

I can handle the paladin which I'm level 43, so it'll be a while yet.

Pictures are here

Ok...my little lock isn't the most powerful, granted she's at 37 right now. But I just can't figure out a good affliction spec for her or glyphs. Actually, when it comes to her, I'm completely confused. I've read up on the forums, but I still can't pick out if stamina is better to stack for a lock or Int.
...and honestly I can't find a good balance on her. There are times I can handle 2 or three mobs at a time, and a little later with a gear change and an increase of Int. those same mobs will wipe the floor with me. I'm silently hoping that when I pick up Dark Pact at 40 that it will help out my survivability since I wouldn't have to use life tap as much for mana (which three life taps drain me to almost nothing at this point and barely add a 1/3 to my mana pool).

Any help or encouragement/helpful criticism would be appreciated.

Oh, and here's her Armory: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Earthen+Ring&n=Elindine

Help?

I just got home, and I expected to just play WoW, but it downloaded some sort of patch, and now it's giving me this pop-up saying:

"Launcher requires write permission to the StarCraft II Registry key to successfully locate and run the game. Please enable write access to the Registry key using an administration account."

I can't log-in to WoW without doing this. Does anyone know what this means? :( Any help is appreciated. I just want to play, damnit lol. :(

Edit: Got it. The link that helped me fix it is in the comments. Stupid Bliz. Sigh. Thanks again!

Edit 2: OMG. I think this ninja patch screwed something up AGAIN. I play WoW in Windows Mode, and I can usually talk in Vent when it is under WoW, but now I can't. I have to put Vent over my WoW window in order to talk, and I don't know why. I've tried looking up stuff online, but everything on this topic is for a Mac. :(

Edit 3: Vent issue fixed. http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2856023849&postId=29493200520&sid=1#0

I closed Vent, and did "Run as administrator". Geez. What a bad WoW night. :(

I'm looking for an AU. In this universe, John's looks aren't considered 'beautiful'. It is people that look like Rodney that are considered the pretty ones. I'm thinking John was pilot and Rodney needed him to fly somewhere or they just met at the airport?

I looked around, but I can't remember where I found it. I believe it was a Gibbs/Dinozzo slash fic, but it could be gen. It's about Tony and the angel of death. Tony collected a feather every time he saw the angel, and he's been seeing him since he was little and they're friend. Any help?

Two fics...

  • Nov. 10th, 2009 at 12:05 AM


 


I've been trying to find these two fics for a while but have had no luck. The first has Rodney and John in a relationship. John wants to try some kind of dominant/submissive (or bondage maybe?) play with McKay in the submissive/tied up role. Or now that I think about it, it may have been the aftermath of a bad mission, and John wants Rodney to submit to John taking complete care of him, ie lying completely still so John can examine him completely and not moving unless John moves him himself - maybe so John can reassure himself that Rodney is ok. There was no coercion on Johns part (maybe a bit of possesiveness?), it was just something he had been wanting to do. This may even be two seperate fics, I'm not sure. However in this particular scenario(s) Rodney has no interest in any kind of submission or being tied up and tells John so - not in a grossed out way "your kink is yucky!" way, just a matter of fact "not my cup of tea" thing. It wasn't a BDSM bashing fic by any means - I think Rodney may even have said that he has no problem with that kind of relationship but it just didn't do anything for him at all (maybe it actually turned him off a bit). He didn't reluctantly try it and find that he loved it. I recall thinking at the time that it was an interesting change from the more frequently seen scenarios of both partners being in complete sync as to what they want in bed, or the immediate enthusiastic embrace of a lovers kink by his/her partner.

The second fic is one that I read a few ago when I first got into this fandom and haven't seen since. The part I remember was (I think) a section of a larger fic. It was some kind of view into an alternate universe or maybe a "trapped in a virtual reality" or hallucination or dream deal. It portrayed the SGA characters as members of a family. John and Elizabeth were the parents, Teyla and Ronon were rebellious teenagers (adopted?) who may have been in a sexual relationship with each other. Rodney was a toddler who (in this small snippet) was sitting in his high chair being fed cheerios by one of his parents. There may have been another older child as well, possibly Lorne or Ford. I remember John or Elizabeth worrying about how much extra attention Rodney needed because of his incredibly high intelligence at such a young age. It may have been a kind of commentary on the familial relationships in canon or it may have been a whacky au, I have no idea. Despite the summary I don't think it was a Sheppard/Weir fic as I don't generally click on stories with that pairing, but I read it when I was just getting into SGA and hadn't seen much of the show, so anything is possible!
 

All the prompts have been assembled and the commentathon is now open:

[ Psych Rare Pairing & Gen Commentathon Master Post. ]

The commentathon is open to all gen and any pairings that aren't Shawn/Lassiter, and it's open to all types of fanwork -- fic, art/icons/graphic, vids, recslists, 'ship manifesto type squee, etc. It'll be open for about a week.

Hope you decide to come and play :)
