Title: The Silent Language of Grief

Author: ridley1013

Pairing: Nathan/Claire, Peter/Nathan (past), Peter/Claire (past)

Rating: NC-17

Warnings: Consensual incest, graphic & kinky adult sexual situations (including anal sex & bondage) & language, angst, character death

Disclaimer: NBC & Kring own Heroes, not me.

Summary: Claire & Nathan deal with their grief.

Author’s Notes: Post-Season 01 AU set a few years after “How to Stop an Exploding Man”. Nothing after the end of Season 01 happened. Claire is over the age of 18 & has been living with the Petrellis for awhile. The line Nathan quotes about punctuality is from “The Picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde. This is a story that I started a year & a half ago and I’m so happy it’s finally finished! Unbeta’d so all mistakes are mine.

Punctuality is the thief of time.

I've had these sat on my computer for the longest time and as I'm starting to get my photoshop mojo back I want to clear them out and start afresh so it's only a small batch but it's better than the whole lot of nothing I've been posting lately huh?

Faking It: Pretending You're An US Citizen When You're An Ocean Away (language barriers and a lot more) by benitle and legoline

Title: It's a burning love
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Rating: NC-17
Words: ~3,000
Enticements/Warnings: adolescent Sam
Summary: Sam and Dean have a sleeping loft to themselves, and can't get enough of each other.

It's a burning love

The manga fairy arrived again today, giving me the fourth volume of Ouran, the first and third volumes of xxxHolic (the second and fourth will arrive later), and the first two volumes of Monster! I have eclectic tastes, what can I say. Ouran just makes me so happy. I do not giggle out loud very often, but I found myself doing so almost every page; it is just one of those series that is made out of pure silly joy, and I love it unreservedly. Unconventional families oh my secret weakness.

Holic also fills me with joy, although for slightly different reasons, since Yuuko does not really have an equivalent in Ouran. (--actually now that I think about it she is sort of like if the twins and Kyouya had a kid who then acquired powers over space and time and a slight case of alcoholism, and that is a terrifying thing to contemplate on pretty much every level.) I'd read the first volume before, but I'd forgotten that it rather noticeably lacks the spaghetti proportions of the anime, which uh does make for easier reading I shall admit. It also has rather less flailing, although perhaps that is because Doumeki has not shown up yet. And I am now going to have to read Tsubasa, aren't I. Because another series is totally what I needed. Le sigh.

Monster also fills me with joy, although for rather more different reasons than the first two, and I am pleased to note that the anime appears to follow the manga to the letter. But it slightly worries me that there is a (well-hidden) note saying some content has been modified from the original Japanese, albeit with the creator's consent; what am I not allowed to see? You had a graphic close-up on a brain surgery! You are about a serial killer! I think your audience can probably handle it, guys. Or maybe it is just some cultural thing the American audience would have no chance of understanding. But we get unedited Sayonara Zetsubo-Sensei, so...I don't know, you guys. Because they won't let me.

(Relatedly, I was reading TV Tropes and bookelfe bookelfe look at the image for the Complete Monster page and tell me you have already seen that and it turns out okay because that is not something I want to turn out not okay . D: D: D: D: )

Since neither my dear friend Nikki (unbrokensky) nor I seemed to be able to wrestle our muses into submission and make icons lately (by which I mean "most of this year," of course), we decided to attempt to jump-start them by having an icon battle.

We each chose two caps from five of our (many) shared fandoms, giving us a total of twenty caps to work with. The fandoms we settled on were Bones, Doctor Who, Glee, Life on Mars (UK), and Merlin.

Teasers:
. .

Please Note: Blanks are NOT bases, please do not customize them yourself. However, if you would like any of my icons customized (including those posted here with text), comment and I will do it for you as soon as I can. This includes animation - please, I am perfectly willing to modify these for you, don't do it yourself! Also, if you would like a blank of one posted with text for use without any text, comment and I'll hook you up with that as well. If they're Nikki's icons, you'll have to talk to her - she posts her icons at different_sky. So, without further ado, the icons...

( See them all under the cut! )

Again, blanks are not bases but I will customize any of my icons for you if you comment and ask. If you take an icon, please be sure you're crediting the right person - for my icons you can credit surrexi or how_iconic; for Nikki's please credit unbrokensky or different_sky. And if you do like Nikki's icons, please go over to her post and tell her! Thanks, and enjoy!

Hi! We're legoline and benitle and we're your hosts for this month's workshop:

Faking It: Pretending You're An US Citizen When You're An Ocean Away (language barriers and a lot more)

Even though Supernatural is a show based on two US American brothers, it is admired and loved by people from all over the world. From Day 01, fandom has been a global community, with the internet making it easy to access the show and fellow fen from anywhere in the world. It doesn't come as a surprise that it's not just the US American portion of fandom contributing through fanfiction. While it might be the ESLs (English as a Second Language speakers) who have it the hardest, it's not only them who might struggle with one major factor: not being American.

( Why does this even matter? )

Title: All That Remains (11/?)
Author: Jessy (@ IJ ; @ LJ)
Pairing: Nathan/Claire
Rating: Strong R (this part ) ; overall a rating of NC-17 due to one smut scene (Part Three)
Summary: (AU!fic) What do you do when the life you thought you knew turns out to be a lie? Nathan Petrelli and Claire Bennet are about to find out.
Warnings: AU. Incest. Character Death
Word Count: 15k and still climbing
Spoilers: Goes AU after Homecoming. However, bits and pieces through Volume 4 may be used for plot purposes.
Disclaimer: Not mine. I wish they were, but they aren't. So please don't sue!
Notes: As I said in every other part, this is a very AU fic. However, if you've made it this far, then clearly you know the hows and whys, so I'll spare explanations and just say thank you to everyone who has followed this fic and provided such wonderful feedback. I'm sorry this part took so long. I wanted to wrap the story up with this one, but it just didn't happen. Also, I should mention that this part is currently not beta'd so any and all errors are mine. Still, I hope you enjoy and remember: feedback is love!

Asylum 4 ticket update at asylum_con

Thanksgiving had much pie--I didn't even get to try every kind--and fabulous borscht, because that is what happens when you invite Lithuanians. The other thing that happens is you sneak off to watch Beetlejuice with the other not-quite-adults, apparently. They had not seen it before! And it is totally a holiday movie. It's got food in it! Well. Bugs.

Before school started, my mom made a deal with me wherein if I lost a certain amount of weight (I'd been trying to in the first place), she'd give me a considerable amount of money for manga; I am pretty sure she is eventually going to regret this, as the deal is repeatable and I have thus far kicked its ass, which is how I ended up reading through volume 5 of 20th Century Boys (the other stuff I ordered hasn't arrived yet). IT IS AWESOME and yet I hate it because it ended on a horrible cliffhanger and the next volume is not out yet D: D: D: DON'T YOU DO THIS TO ME. At least I also have the first two volumes of Monster coming to me? But I already know what happens in those, so. My life is so hard, you guys.

I acquired the soundtrack of Kuroshitsuji, because, well, I could, and it amuses me how easily it serves as a description of the show. You listen to one track and you think, there is no word to describe this other than wacky, and then you listen to another and there is ominous chanting and ominouser bass notes and in this track it sounds like the singer is about to cry but this track you are pretty sure could rival Yakety Sax and you have no idea what's going on but you're entertained anyway. So really it fits the mood of the show pretty well! In all its glorious whiplash.

--I was planning to work on Yuletide today but I have a cold and I really do not want to do anything besides drink orange juice and read TV Tropes, so that is what I will do. And fret about 20th Century Boys. Kenjiiii ;_; ;_; ;_;
