SED 24 - I'm strolling through fandoms at the moment

[nia_kantorka]

Thanks for all the well wishes for our little one! She has still fever- thankfully under 39°C (no medication necessary) but isn't nauseous anymore. So, I'm mostly online via mobile and not really writing things or commenting properly because it's just a nuisance on the phone.

But I had some lovely reading time while we lay on the sofa or bed together (and she grabbing my hand like a limpet) these last days. And man, I've had some luck with the chosen fics recently:

- It all started with the wonderful Sherlock fic 'The Edinburgh Problem' by snorklepie (rec is here, 2nd last)

- Then I read this great story on hp_mhealthfest 'The Butterfly Effect' by current anon. Seriously, go and take a look at that adorable Ron and how he is going to help a cursed Draco.

- Oh, then came 'The Gilded Cage' by BeautifulFiction. Yes, this is me reccing another Alpha/Omega fic. It's such a complex story with a rogue society, some great ideas on Alpha/Beta/Omega biology, a very intruiging case - at least for me as a scientist - which maybe distracts a bit from the MC's relationship at first but becomes so much more over time. So, watch it while reading! :D
I gutted this 327k fic in 3,5 days and am still in awe about it (need to write a proper rec soon).

- And one more. Inception this time. Or an Inception/Nothing Hill fusion to be more precise. 'I Seem to Be a Verb' by Aja (Bookshop on tumblr). You see. There's Arthur with his Nothing Hill bookstore and one day Eames (the big actor) shows up and grabs a book Arthur never wanted to sell. And I learned some things about architecture, three-word-book-titles, Buckminster Fuller and movies I've never heard of. This fic was 93k of gold.

I'm reading a Merlin football AU at the moment told from Arthur's pov- 'There are no Gays in Football' by Malu_3. It's so cool to read finally about a sport I know a lot about. And yes, I can feel the heartbreak looming (it's 210k long and I'm just 18% in).

Well, it's still some days until Smoochfest and Holmestice start posting...

Hope you are all well! I try to answer my messages soon...

I'm glad to know she's getting better. ♥

I can't wait to know who wrote The Butterfly Effect. Fantastic read, and Ron's voice is brilliant.

I saw your GK rec on tumblr, have you seen the HBO series?

Sorry to hear that the little one is still sick, but glad it's not serious enough to need medication. Still, it can be hard to see someone you love be sick and just have to wait it out. Sending good vibes to both of you!

I'd forgotten about smoochfest starting so soon, and now I'm all excited for that! Thank you!

Oh, yay! I'm so glad she's getting better! ♥

The Gilded Cage. Oh My God. I'm not even halfway through it but the whole Alpha/Omega Universe in the fic is keeping me glued! And John and Sherlock - ♥

O, damn, poor little darling, I hope she recovers to her vivacious self soon enough. I sometimes wish my boys were calmer and a bit more behaved, but when they're ill I find myself missing all the Armageddon they cause, because they're so unnaturally calm. But because I have two and they take turns in being ill, it's never quite *that* peaceful, perhaps just less biblical than usually.:)
Hugs to you two and lots of courage to your mother in law to deal with a clingy child.
Enjoy your reading, I'm waiting for the Smoochfest for youknowhwat reasons. ;)
