Erika's Journal

If anyone wants to know why Steve turned into my favorite member of the Avengers after the movie, this fic perfectly demonstrates why. The fic itself doesn't have any Avengers spoilers (spoilers for Captain America, obviously) but the author's notes does have some very minor spoilers, but really, really passable.

Nor Dreams We Fear

Really, it gave shivers down my spine. He really needs a hug. *volunteers*

Short fic, 800 words, PG-13, mentions of war, loss, grief and angst.

You know when this huge flush of inspiration floods your brain and you can’t let it go because you see the finished product everywhere you look? Well, I had it in the bus yesterday as I was listening to music. Each song I listened to made me think of kristen999's fic Red Sands that I had been reading the last couple of weeks. It's such a fantastic piece of fanfiction and if there is anyone crazy enough in my flist not to have read it yet, then do. NOW!

Reading it inspired me in many ways. One is going back to writing and two is that muse was happy enough to force me (relentlessly) to open Photoshop and start creating an album cover to create a fanmix for kristen999's fic. I couldn't stop working on this project since yesterday when I put together the list of songs that go along with the story.

I've got a Supernatural/House crossover fic rec. I normally run away when I see the word crossover plastered on a fic, especially over two fandoms that have nothing in common, but this one is really so well done and thought out. All the characters are spot on and the plot is fantastic! Really, everyone should read this. It's not very long and is devided in three parts. How to Survive.

Also, I feel absolutely HORRIBLE! Everything hurts. *cries* I only have two more days of work. I need to survive just until tomorrow. *needs House*

Long weekend yay! I spent the Monday holiday at home, doing nothing but read fanfic, catch up on my shows and watch bunches of stuff.

I'll start with SGU. I wasn't going to watch, but then I figured that if I want to have an opinion, I should at least be able to say that it's trully mine and not borrowed from other people. I major waste of time. I was bored throughout the whole thing and looked at the watch every ten minutes.

I saw SPN too. Fun MotW ep, which was a little refreshing to see. The boys needto get their mindss away from the apocalipse sometimes. Didn't see any reviews around, so I guess it's no one's fave ep. Still, I saw it twice for some reason.

I saw ST again XD *grins*

I saw a lot of Harry Potter too. I wanted to see the last two movies, but mom doesn't have then, so I watched the second, third and fourth ones.

I spent the rest of my time reading an amazing fic by hells_half_acre. It's a SPN and HP crossover and it's so well written that really looks like both universes could co-exist. I'm really wary of crossovers because they are generally lame or make one of the fandoms look better than the other, or because they usually have characterization issues not to mention character bashing, but this one is unbelievably good on all accounts. It's very well thought of and has a bunch of stuff to leave fans of both shows squeeing with madness. It explains how both societies exist in the same universe, the differences, and it has all the possible interactions that you can imangine, all very well done. It's set mid SPN season 4, but it contain spoilers through the end of that season, and in HP verse, it takes place several years after the last book, so it contains spoilers for everything. I really recommend this fic. It's gen, no pairings, except canon HP pairing which are not the focus of the story. It has Dean whump and a lot of angst because Dean + Dementors = Erika!SQUEE like mad. Dean fans will love it! I want to see more Demeontors feeding on Dean now, please. It also has some Harry whump if anyone likes it.

The fic master post is here. It's called Damned Demented Demons, it's really long (103,000 words, 33 chaps I think), but the post has a downloadable version, which I'll get because this fic deserves printing.
