and why was it necessary for the TV version of Fame to make every principle character a little bit uglier? Even LeRoy is kind of old-looking.

Recs post!
So I was playing with the new random fic feature at the Refuge, and was pretty much shocked when it threw up a couple of fics that I couldn't remember reading (I've read at least 90% of what's there, at one time or another, but had NO memory of either of these). They're both fairly short and extremely sweet, and a few years old, so people who have joined in the past year or two may have missed them.
Incidentally, I updated my massive recs list last night.
PS: Spot/Blink/Race. *review whores*
- Stranger Things Than Runaway Dreams by SnarkyBubble
David's dreams have run off to be with Jack's. (Jack/David, ~450 words) - Seasons and Spices by Lyse
The seasons change, and so does Mush, at least a little. (Hints of Blink/Mush; ~1,500 words)

Title: Birds Suddenly Appear
Author: Chash
Fandom: HSM/Enchanted
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Chad really, really hates the new girl.
Disclaimer: Property of Disney, not me, no profit, etc.
Notes: So, a while back,likespring asked for an HSM/Enchanted crossover. Which I anonly wrote here. But then I kind of had a lot of fun with that and wanted to write more. So now I have a fic with an actual plot that follows those snippets. Because it was mad fun.
( He tried to explain this a few days in to the new school year, when the two of them were eating lunch on the grass, watching Giselle, Gabriella, and Troy frolic with a pack of bunnies and squirrels. )

s.w.a.k.
Two hours later, I'm just waking up from that twenty-minute power nap I laid down for. O.o blurgh. I'll so be paying for this in about two or three hours. Or maybe not, seeing as I still have that loopy-underwater feeling going on. Maybe I should just call it quits and go to bed for real? But no, there is fandom to be carried out. I must persevere.
So here's the deal. The rabid fangirl in me has reared up from the depths of my typically sane soul, and is demanding Javid. Absolutely craving it. I've already exhausted my usual stores of tasty Javid tidbits and she still wants more. I've tried feeding her some Javid of my own devising, but she's too impatient and refuses to sit though the requisite before-story simmer. And so I plead with you, dear flist, to help me sate this demon.
Got any unpublished Jack/David floating around your hard drive? Know of any old gems I may have overlooked? Have any fic of your own you'd like to see another review for? (I'm good for one, I promise!) Want to share your favorite Javid scene/line/moment/memory? Please, I beg you. Promote, premier, pimp, ponder anything. Need not be smut. Need not be fluff. Need not be new. Need not be slash -- oh wait, scratch that. Yes, yes it does have to be at least kinda slashy. (It also need not be immediate -- can't think of or find something? Trust me, I'll want what you have just as much tomorrow (or in three days) as I do right now.)
This may not work, I know. But dear god I hope it does. Anyone? Anyone? Help!

My ship, let me show you it. It. Iiiiiiiit.
So I'm reading Animorphs #15: The Escape, and I run across this line:
"'...I don't have any secrets from Jake,' I said. 'I think that's the basis of a good marriage: openness, honesty.'"
Typical Marco; funny, distracting, kinda gay. It made me laugh, especially since he and Jake do act like an old married couple frequently.
Then, a couple pages later, this:
"Ax hesitated. He is still a little uncomfortable being open and honest with humans."
Of course I don't think Applegate did that on purpose. But Marco's joking assessment of the components of a successful marriage suddenly juxtaposed with his relationship with Ax (with whom he is alone in that scene)? HILARIOUSLY AWESOME.

Bitch: Roberto! It wouldn't be hard!
Guido: But what if he got hard and then died... Would you have sex with him?
Bitch: Maybe, but like why do I need to do that when I can just... You know... Ohh nevermind.
Guido: Oohh because you'll be doing all the work anyway? You could just buy a blow up doll.

love me do?
Ugh, so instead of the wholly without redeeming value post about the stupid migraine I've had all day I was going to make, I've decided to demand love in meme form instead. I'm finally not so in pain I want to kill things, and loving on people is a good thing to do now that I can sit up in relative comfort.
If you are doing this and I love you (come on, it's YOU! Of course I love you!!) post about it so I don't MISS you okay?
Ahem. I can't make the coding work because I suck, but:
THE WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU MEME! WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT MEEE?
