Fic recommendations
These are a few of my favorite things. All are NC-17, just like life.

My sassy, talented beta [info]snoopydance4me has posted part 4 of Cracker Jack Dreams, starring businessman!Dom and prostitute!Elijah. It's tender and sweet with the blazing aural sex for which she is justly famous. Extremely flammable; contents under pressure; possible explosion hazard. I fall a little harder in love with her characters on every reading.

[info]tripping_sin's got some Monaboyd called crazymessofsomething. I knew this thing was clever, but I didn't realize how clever at first, because I wasn't up on Dom and Billy's past roles. Be aware that the first half of the fic contains emotional/physical abuse. The second half is all about the love, baby.

I really enjoyed Floor Show by [info]firiel16. Sexy, hilarious DM/EW based on Billy and Elijah's January 2004 field trip to a strip club.

After the Cirith-Ungol-style orcish gang rape that was my country's presidential election, I was very much in the mood for hurt/comfort, and [info]notabluemaia's The Ice Storm came through for me. Her Sam and Frodo are warm and soft in a world that is neither, and their desire for each other shines from the page.

Also, if you haven't checked it out already, visit the hobbit_art community. Owner [info]wyna_hiros can draw, and her collaborators are amazing.

In life news, I have a new job, and it's good. Haven't written any fic since [info]snoopydance4me's birthday, but hope to pull something together by Christmas. We'll see.

Congrats on the good new job! Hope there's plenty of time for new fics, too, by the holidays...

Thank you for the rec, Miri. Writing it was a complete obsession - and a great comfort for my own stress about politics. (grr) I'm so glad that their love shone through - thank you for your kind words. I'll look forward to exploring your other recs - I know that Wyna is fabulous, and her art community is terrific.

Congrats on the new job, dear! And lovely to see you post. Anything I can do to speed along that fic along, you just let me know... ;D

*hugs*

BTW, if you want a card, cookies, or possibly some fic, you must go take my polls. :) Just sayin.

Speeding the fic along? Oooh. Can you send Elijah over here in nothing but a Christmas ribbon? No, wait, that would put the fic on the back burner indefinitely.

Your polls are great. I voted in the one about the TMI filter. Aren't you sweet to send out the holiday love in so many formats?

Love,

miri

If I had Elijah, you know I'd happily send him your way, with a nice little ribbon around his...erm, with a nice ribbon. Very festive! ;)

Aw, thank you! Sings "You All Everybody" in your general direction. (I loved that episode. Particularly the scene in the confessional. It was sexy, funny, and Catholic, and it had a hobbit in it. Pure heaven.)

Love,

miri

I almost fell off the couch watching him confess his sins! Oh how I remember those fun times in Confession...

And the look on the Priest's face? Priceless.

How've you been?

Thanks so much for dropping by. Wow, you're Catholic. Catholics are dead sexxy, man. I was supposed to be Catholic, but my folks got divorced, and I ended up with the Protestant faction. So Catholicism always seems exotic, yet familiar, to me.

How are you? Any forays into Boston lately? I know you're not comfortable there, but it's so beautiful, especially this time of year.

I've been super busy. I'm either at work, the gym, the most likely places to find Christmas presents, or doing something with/for/to my family. And regrettably, am not writing anything right now. I keep thinking I'll have time, but I would have to carve said time out of my schedule with an ice pick, and it ain't happening right now.

Lovely to hear from you. Stay warm.

Love,

miri

You're welcome, dear. Everything you write is fantastic. Now I just need to hunt down footage of Billy Boyd in Taggart. Your Jamie is quite the commercial for that episode.

Love,

miri
