Art for Ladyfoxxx

I'm not sure if you know that I'm fairly new to Bandom. I had some terrific recs from dear friends, so I became hooked, and the fact that My Chemical Romance's new album will come out next month is not helping my addiction at all, because the preview is amazing, the song is so catching, the guys look so good... Where was I? Yeah, addicted to bandom, right.

I was lucky enough to be introduced to ladyfoxxx's work. Amazing author, so talented and so deliciously funny, her work is great. I'm enjoying her Dustverse! Series a lot, I'm so excited she's already working on the third installment!

I made her some art for her Dustverse!, a header for her first story This Might Get Messy, Kids, (that also has a podfic, by the wonderful podklb, you shouldn't miss it),
and the second one, Hot Metal, that features Gerard's new car and it's hot, and dusty and so full of adrenaline you can almost taste the guy's exhilaration.

But the art for the dustverse was not the art I promised her. She chose one of her Bigbangs, so I also made a header for her wonderful story In Production, the epic tale of how our lovely Gerard Way, director, tried to finish his first big budget movie while dealing with his attraction to Brian Schechter, his stunt coordinator. It's long, it's satisfying, it's hot and it's sweet, and I love the story to pieces, guys. Give it a try, even if the pair is not your cup of tea, because it's very well written, and it's engaging from the very beginning.

It looks like I'm in the mood for art, apparently. I wonder if it's a virus. =/

The fics I never commented on.

I think jerakeen had a fantastic idea: go back to those fics you've read but never left any feedback, and do it now. And then, post it here as a rec list.

Here they are.



Bandom:

* Conclusions by bexless. Frank/Gerard. Frank is Gerard's landlord. Gerard is Frank's lodger. They're meant to be.

It's a great story, amazing and engaging, and I can't recommend it more. It's long and satisfying, and I'm really ashamed because this is one of my top ten stories, in fact, and I can't believe I never left proper feedback for it.


* For a different view by impertinence. Rae/Mickey. Would My Chemical Romance change a lot if instead of a Ray they had a Rae?

I can't thank foursweatervests enough for recommending me this story. It's spot on, the guys are themselves, Rae is perfect, and the story is not only engaging and fantastic, but also manages to make you stop and think and that's not usual. I highly recommend it.


* What to expect by arsenicjade. Bob/Mickey. Alicia can't stay at home anymore, and Mickey has to take care of their little daughter alone. Bob is there for him.

No bad people in this story, just people. People that suffer, and make mistakes, and try to keep on breathing and living. So beautiful that it breaks your heart. Anything by arsenicjade is good, but this one is perfection.



The Graveyard Book.

* Of polaroids and hostel rooms by Flipperland. Silas/Nobody. It's time for Nobody to see the world.

This is a small fandom, but I liked the story very much. It's a beautiful love story, a tale of love and growth, and its imagery is gorgeous.



High School Musical.

* The other side of you by paperclipbitch. Chad/Ryan. How to be enemies, and then not, and then boyfriends and then not. Again.

I know nothing about HSM. In fact, I had to look at IMDB to know what the guys looked like. I just wanted to read something more from paperclipbitch, and decided to try this one and read it like an original fic. I enjoyed it, it's sweet and nice, with just a healthy dose of angst.



Glee.

* So here it is, here it goes by merle_p. Puck/Kurt. Puck doesn't like to share.

I loved this confused, angry, worried Puck, he's used to wanting things and never getting them. He didn't even know he wanted to keep Kurt until he looses him. It's a bittersweet story that I like a lot.



SGA:

* Hot pants by lallybroch. John/Rodney. Rodney's wearing Lorne's pants. John does not approve.

I adore this story, really, so fun and delicious. Jealous!John is an old favourite of mine, because he pouts so beautifully...Read it, it's delicious.



AI 7

* Woke up married by celli. David Cook/David Archuleta. Pretty self explanatory. Cook and Archie woke up married.

This is my guilty pleasure. This story is like chicken soup for me. I come back to it regularly, because it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, and I love it, and I'll love it until the day I die.



AI 8 Crossover.

* Bouquet by pensnest. Adam Lambert/Lance Bass. Adam thinks Lance is an asshole, but a hot asshole. He would totally tap that.

At the beginning the only thing in common the guys have is that they're both gay. In the end, they have a lot more, but they're not ready to admit it. I can't believe I didn't leave the author any feedback! The story is refreshing and it feels plausible, you can spend a lovely afternoon reading it. The outtakes are great.



AI 8.

* This evening's empire by moirariordan. Adam Lambert/Kris Allen. Kris is a pretty, pretty princess prince. Adam is his suitor.


God, this story pushes all my buttons and I love it to pieces. Fantastic work, and all the characters are delicious.


Now I'm waiting for all your stories, guys, come on, what are you waiting for?
