I might add concerts or stuff when/if they happen. ;)

Okay, I'm caught up with luau gifting (not reading, sadly), so I swear this is the last post of the kind you get for today. Sorry for spamming. Bless my day for being early..

Title: The Best Laid Schemes Of Mice And Men Often Go Awry
Rating: PG13 to be sure?
Characters: Sawyer, implied Sawyer/Juliet for the canon I needed
Words: 500 (or, me trying to do the multiple drabbles thing)
Spoilers: er, heavy for the S5 finale. And sort of for Of Mice And Men.
Summary: There's the thing with Jim LaFleur: Sawyer knows that it's just a fake name for his x-hundredth fake identity. The difference is that all of Sawyer's previous identities' purpose was destroying someone else's white picket fence, while this one could be the key for his own metaphorical one.
Disclaimer: Lost isn't mine and if Of Mice And Men was mine I'd be John Steinbeck and I'd have won a Nobel prize for literature. And for how much I wish it was the case, it isn't. ;)
A/N: (last late) fic for the gracious Queen elise_509 at lostsquee who wished for reasons to remind her of some Sawyer love. Er. This ended up being a mix between me explaining (sort of) S5 Sawyer (because I kinda didn't get him either) and between me loving way too much the bare fact that he likes Steinbeck. I just hope it makes some sense and that you like it! ♥ Also because I kinda haven't written from his POV in.. er, ages. Title stolen from the poem from which Steinbeck stole his title.

( That little place you always wanted, George? )

*is catching up with luau stuff*

Title: Are We Going To The Same Place? If So, Can I Come?
Rating: PG
Characters: Jack, Sawyer
Words: 1463
Spoilers:for the S5 finale. (Also in the summary, so I wouldn't read that if you didn't see said episode.)
Summary: Jack takes another sip and he's unable to take his eyes off Sawyer. Or James. Or Jim. Fuck knows how should he call him, especially since standing to reason Jack has never met a Jim LaFleur. Even if he remembers meeting him thirthy-something years ago.
Disclaimer: nothing here is mine if you were wondering.
A/N: (late) fic for Queen siluria at lostsquee who requested bad weather. Er, well, I have no excuse for this except that I always wanted to write Nirvana!fan!Jack goes to Seattle. Title stolen from a Pearl Jam song since we're talking grunge. I think I did my research right, but since I dunno if some stuff here would require trips to Wikipedia, Sub-Pop = Nirvana's first record label, Crocodile Cafe = venue where I think everyone who can be labeled as grunge has played sometime between late eighties and mid nineties. Er, okay, I think I'm done blathering.

( “Sub-Pop. You. What, you became a Nirvana fanboy?” )

Title: I Never Kissed A Man
Rating: PG13
Characters/Pairing: Kevin/Sawyer
Words: 1786
Summary: four times Kevin and Sawyer somehow meet, and one when they definitely go further than that.
Spoilers: er, vary vague for the season finale, but definitely spoilers.
Disclaimer: nope, Lost isn't mine. NEWS!
A/N: for the lovely Queen gottalovev at lostsquee who asked for first times. Er. Well. This has at least three first times in it. And it features my Oceanic Six Talk Shows of doom. And it's the first time I try the pairing so er, whatever, I really hope you like it! ♥ using for au_abc, detectives.

( When Kevin Callis meets James Sawyer Ford for the first time, it lasts barely more than a minute. )

I'm DONE.

Fine, I have one exam in September, but I'M DONE. \o/

*gets back to all the fannish stuff and all the catching up she hasn't done in the last four days* Er, okay, that was more or less it. I'M FREE, DAMMIT.

(translation: last exam done and nothing to do for two weeks or three. YES.)

Er, yeah, I'm multitasking again. And yes, during study breaks I put fanmixes together.. *cough* and I'll answer comments this evening I think. Or at least I hope.

Title: We Can Be Together
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Dean/Castiel
Type: Fanmix
For: for martyred_wings at the Dean/Castiel co-op swap exchange. Yes, another of those again.
Prompt: '60's music, eg the Animals, the Kinks etc.
Notes: er. It has the Animals and the Kinks. And then it's also kinda crazy because it ended up mixing (sorta) folk, pop, rock and semi-psychedelic stuff without any sort of logic, or maybe it has some logic but it's hidden somewhere.


( lyrics + covers + zip )

1. Happy birthday gemjam! ♥ I hope you get a great day and an even better year. ;) And if you want some icons or anything just ask. ;)

2. Uh, and happy Fourth of July to all you Americans out there! And since it's Independence Day, you get the random Bruce video because while I'm not American I can't resist.



3. I'm so excited for the luau at lostsquee! Which means that next month or so this place will be probably filled with Lost stuff except for a week when I probably will be scarce for RL reasons.

4. I also managed to start catching up with the load of banners I owe. Thankfully it's not too much all things considered, but I won't be able to finish anything before next week. When is the 8th?

5. Pointless entry is pointless and I really should go doing some studying along with multitasking as usual, so I guess it'll be all for now. *waves*

Okay. 4/5 of my exams done. Another week and I'm free, and hopefully attending the Chris Cornell concert. And anyway, when you get there at nine in the morning and do the exam at three in the afternoon, it's akin to torture. BUT, anyway. My head will go back to functional thought tomorrow. The real reason I'm doing this post is shameless promoting of the shameless kind. This = Supernatural related, so if you're not into that, feel free to skip this. And sorry if you watch the icon comm and see it there too but hey, I need to use my resources.

So, to make things short: me and _izu_ have a crush on a certain Jimmy Novak, we think that he doesn't get enough attention and all that jazz and so we went and did the crazy thing called setting a community up and I really don't have enough things on my hands already but whatever. So, if you're one of the Jimmy fans on my FL or at interested at all in the guy or whatever, and I know at least two of you are there, consider joining? ;) Come on, we have a very pretty layout at least! *bribes*



Okay. I did my maintainer duty part #1. Now I'll see how much I last before crashing to bed with Schopenhauer in tomorrow morning's prospects...

And random: why do we get HAIL on July 1st?

Well, I guess I'm the queen of multi-tasking since I put this thing together while reading a book and making a concordance. I just hope it doesn't show, lol. And er, yeah, D/C fanmixes are becoming my crack.

Title: I Am A Renegade
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Dean/Castiel
Type: Fanmix
For: neierathima at the Dean/Castiel co-op swap exchange.
Prompt: A fanmix of Dean/Castiel charting their relationship over each episode. That is, have a song (maybe two) for each episode sort of summing up the tone for that ep.
Notes: well, I had two songs for each episode except one which has three because I seemingly like it too much and I make favoritism (which is also the reason there are two Bruce Springsteen songs even if I tried not to repeat people, but it happened that they fit). Also, er, the first song for episode #2 is deliberately there for crack value. Hope you like it!



( covers + lyrics + links + zip )

Uh, so, while I have this idea that Jon's Farsi accent has to be hideous, I'm actually really touched by this. Especially because it's up for grabs and not on sale or for charts. And apart from the (GREAT) intentions it's a really fine cover IMHO. And I can't stop listening to it. And I just need to manage to download the mp3 because it doesn't work right now, but I guess I will sooner or later. *wibbles and puts it on again*

This one, I owed, too.

Title: He Loves You (and you know you should be glad)
Rating: PG13
Characters/Pairing: Jimmy, Dean/Castiel, Chuck and Sam on the side
Words: 3625
Summary: where Jimmy can't really stand Castiel being miserable because he thinks his feelings for Dean are unrequited and takes the matter into his own hands.
Spoilers: up until 4x22.
Disclaimer: no, they aren't mine. I couldn't make them all so wonderfully miserable even if I tried.
A/N: this is for wandersfound who in a meme ages ago asked for any Dean/Castiel that passed through my head and well, this was what passed through my head. But I know she likes Jimmy and the Beatles from whom I've obviously stolen the title (and I had the idea while listening to that song) so I hope this is fine. ;) Also, this is slightly crack-ish but not exactly full crack I think. Using for sacred_20 #2, saint.

( And if being possessed by an angel is like being tied to a comet, being chained to a lovesick angel is like being a small, insignificant asteroid in the midst of a meteor shower and Jimmy is definitely not up for it. )

1. Happy birthday to inthekeyofd! ♥

( grab! )

2. How do you deal with more than fifty mosquito bites? Because I lost the count at fifty. :/ I'm seriously thankful I don't have any mosquito related allergies *shudder*.

3. Ship meme stolen from around.

Six ships you're into right now. [ps: probably most of these are pairings I'm into on default and not necessarily now, but I also was trying to do different fandoms.]

1. Jack/Boone (Lost) [I'm always into J/B *cough*)
2. Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)
3. Dean/Castiel (SPN)
4. Roland/Eddie (The Dark Tower)
5. David/Keith (Six Feet Under)
6. Maurice/Alec (Maurice)

Three ships you liked, but don't anymore. [there seriously should be an option for 'ships you liked a lot and now canon killed them but you liked them anyway' though]

7. Charlie/Claire (Lost)
8. Eddie/Susannah (The Dark Tower)
9. Sawyer/Juliet (Lost) *hides from rotten tomatoes*

Three ships you never liked.

10. Kate/Sawyer and Jack/Kate (Lost)
11. Jason/Lyla (FNL)
12. Nate/Lisa (SIx Feet Under)

Two ships you're curious about, but don't actually ship.

13. Richard/Jacob (Lost)
14. Sam/Castiel (SPN)

( questions with HUGE SPOILERS for everything, more or less, ESPECIALLY The Dark Tower series )

4. Is LJ acting idiotic since yesterday for me only? I can't visualize half of the userpics, some pages load wrong and even the one to post is weird. WTF?

5. ( two words about the PM, cut for usual reasons )

6. Nothing more interesting for now really. I'm back to my computers-and-philosophical-text thing, I think. And I'll probably have some fic I owed posted tonight.

Oookay. I sadly won't have a review for at least a couple of days because my camera died and I couldn't take any pictures myself so my friends are the ones who have said pictures, but since they went to the following date too I'll have to wait until they come back and pass me at least the stuff where I'm present.

But, it suffices to say that while I might still be half-deaf from being in first row near the amplifier and while mosquitoes have practically took me enough blood for a transfusion, not to mention the return trip with the train late as usual, I think I'm still into shock or something. Translation: we arrived at the place like six hours before the whole thing started, we caught the whole group outside and I fucking shook hands with Duff McKagan who actually freaking introduced himself (while wearing sandals, lol), I have two pictures with the whole group, I touched the guy thrice during the concert and he stripped in front of me I think just before singing Attitude. Considering that I've been fangirling over the guy since I was sixteen and to a serious, serious degree I think that I can go back in my corner gleeing and squeeing and whatever. The real review is coming sometime next week I guess, but it will come.

I can't freaking believe I shook hands with Duff McKagan, lol. *dies*

And now I'll be going catching up and answering comments and stuff but I mean. I MEAN. (Also, he was giving out picks during the concert and I snagged one. *dies again* Yeah, well, I'm a disgusting fangirl.)

... aaand, I'm back on the alphabet meme prompts! I just want to finish it. It has become a matter of honor, lol. And er, I dunno when I'll manage to answer any comments to this because it's late already and I'm off tomorrow morning, so if I don't answer for the next two days sorry for that.

Title: Four Times Dean Winchester Broke Something And One Time He Didn’t
Rating: PG13
Pairing: Dean/Castiel, duh.
Words: 3454 (seriously, I fail at brevity.)
Summary: what the title says plus, how Castiel managed to fix everything somehow.
Spoilers: up until 4x22.
Disclaimer: er, no, not mine. I wish.
A/N: for invisiblelove who wanted broken for the alphabet meme. Uh. Er. This is probably the most uneven five things fic I ever wrote mainly because the first four sections are kinda short and the fifth is longer than said four put together, but it decided to go this way. Also using for sacred_20 #5, healing.

( Little does he know that this is the last time in his life when he’s allowed to think of a broken tape as a tragedy. )

1. Okay, so, from tomorrow to the day after I'm on a leave of absence because I'm taking a flash trip with _izu_ and marlonob to see Duff McKagan + Loaded in concert somewhere near Modena, and I just hope no one posts everything important I might miss. ;)

2. That said, I probably will have another ficlet for the darned alphabet meme later. I can finish that, can I?

3. Memes galore because today I'll need to take breaks from the awesomeness that it's computers in relation to philosophical texts. What joy.

3a. This from invisiblelove:

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

( the icons here )

3b. This from... like, everyone.

Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom. -> usually, my scoops imply that I like slash way more than any canon pairings, but still.

3c. This from elliotsmelliot:

Choose one of the TV shows, movies or books you know I’m familiar with, and I’ll tell you which character I’d pick for the following:

Best & Worst Roommate:
Best & Worst Neighbour:
Best & Worst Houseguest:
Who would I get to help me garden?
Who would I get to help me decorate?
Who would I get to help me with any repairs/renovations?
Who would I get to help me move?
Who would I trust to sell me the property?
Who would I invite over for my first dinner?

4. Okay, I'm off to buy groceries and then studying and then editing stuff. -nod-

1. Uh, I still have one Dreamwidth code. Anyone wants?

2. So, yesterday, after months of searching for it, I located a copy of Sowing The Seeds - The 10th Anniversary, aka the MOST AWESOME compilation in the history of ever, full of awesome people and political songs and I seriously mean it (I mean, I bought it because there was The Ghost Of Tom Joad sung by Pete Seeger AND Bruce Springsteen, but there's also Lou Reed, Burce Cockburn, Roger McGuinn, STEVE EARLE, Billy Bragg, Ani DiFranco, Tim Robbins and a heap of other awesome people, famous and less famous). And then I'm looking at the tracklist and what is there? A song named Namaste by The Kennedys. It probably doesn't have anything to do with Lost but it's still amusing as hell. And it's a nice song too.

3. Er, so, given that I need some Misha Collins in my life and since I still don't know if I have the stomach to see Karla and I'm waiting for his episodes of 24 to get to the newsstand at a cheaper price (next week they should start) and since I had downloaded Finding Home some two weeks ago I just went and watched it. And then... well. ( I dunno if I'll get spoilery but cut for anyone who doesn't give a damn anyway )

4. By the way, movies speaking, when I was at my grandparents' I caught one of the few Wilder movies I hadn't seen on cable, said movie was One, Two, Three and it's freaking hilarious and awesome and I think I need the dvd. I don't know why it's so underrated but it was something wonderful.

5. I'm officially signed up for scifibigbang. Good luck to me, especially since I'm still completely undecided about what I should go for with the SPN one. I think I'll go with the WWII AU with Lost, I want to tackle the Some Like It Hot AU before and I don't want to wait until December to post it anyway if I do.

6. I found Steve Earle's latest record!! \o/ About one month and a half since it came out, true, and I had to pay in blood for it or something since of course it has to cost more than the average new record out, but still. I found it anyway! Now I just wish I could find the... er, like, four or five that I'm missing *sigh*.

7. And on to serious business for a second, the way the Iran election is covered here? Ludicrous. Or at least that's what I think if before showing it they lose fifteen minutes with random interviews to politicians about the administrative elections. No one gives a damn, or at least not me.

8. Okay, I should probably go studying for the only easy exam I get this round. I don't have exactly much force of will but I'll find it somewhere. And er, this entry was even more pointless than usual I guess, but I've done worse. I think. And that Namaste song is infecting my brain, I think.

Okay, so, this was for the Dean/Cas kink meme but it seriously got too long and splitting it in comments was hell. And as soon as I read the prompt my head went that way and uh, hi, never written Crowley in anything I posted before (why, I'm crossovering them now but with the right pairings), so just go easy on poor me.

Title: Misery Likes Company
Rating: (hard) R
Pairing: Dean/Crowley, one sided Dean/Castiel and Crowley/Aziraphale
Words: 3905
Summary: talking about his feelings for Castiel with a demon who was in love with another angel isn't exactly what Dean had signed for when he decided to take a walk in the park. And he definitely hadn't signed for more than talking.
Spoilers: until 4x18 for Supernatural, for GO... well, general for the whole book more or less.
Disclaimer: I can't be Eric Kripke, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett at once, right? So not mine, even if I wouldn't object if I owned either. ;)
A/N: written for the Dean/Castiel kink meme for the prompt so, Dean waits for something or another in a public place, sitting on a bench or something. Some random upset girl decides it's a good idea to tell a stranger about her tragic love. In response, Dean in all honesty tells her what's it like to be in love with an angel. It can be a crossover with something. With equally impossible pairing. Aziraphale/Crowley, or Martha/Doctor or someone else. Don't ask me why I decided that Dean/Crowley was a good pairing. It just seemed so. ;) First time with me writing Crowley, more or less. Sorry for the lack of notes, I'll make it up next time I write GO stuff.

( 'Fuck. We really make a pair, don't we?' Dean offers, not even caring that he's basically being friendly with a demon. )

1. First, I hope I'm on time and that I didn't miss stuff, but happy birthday ladymacbeth77 and carrielynne2323! Sorry that I have no banners but I hadn't expected to be out of town :// I hope you both have a great day and an even more awesome year in front of you! ♥

2. I forgot last time, but I have two Dreamwidth codes. Anyone wants? First come first served. ;) And if you're on there and I haven't added you for some reason tell me, I'm janie_tangerine as usual.

3. So, yesterday while on the train (which was one hour late of course, but whatever) I read Nick Hornby's Shakespeare Wrote For Money and it's awesome. I mean, it's all book recs, but it's such fun, and of course now I have at least another fifteen books that he recced which I'd love to read. Also because the guy's tastes are frighteningly close to mine *cough* even if I was pretty bummed that he didn't appreciate Orwell's essays as much as I did. Not that it stopped him from buying Tropic of Cancer as I did because George talked wonders about it. ;) [also, I never had it in a rec post, but I did finish it and it's some great stuff. Tropic Of Cancer, I mean.]

4. Apart from that, the ride was decent, stuff is not crazier than usual, I bought myself some new clothes at the street market down here, I still wasn't subjected to the singing and someone has to explain me why is it that my Velvet Revolver obsession is back in full force.

5. My PM is making me become a moralist, at least concerning him. When did that happen? :/

6. Anyway, all for now. Not the most interesting post in the history of ever and I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but anyway. *waves* I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

So, I haven't said a thing here about this mainly because it'd have turned into some ugly rant. Not to mention that if I think about this and then about the next voting round here on Sunday I want to throw up and for once I feel grateful for my country, but that's a whole other issue. I've done everything that was advised to help on Twitter and I'm gladly re-posting this hoping that meanwhile someone does organize some march or something here because I'd love to do something that isn't just over the Internet. I don't know when I'll answer to any comments because of my exam tomorrow but I will at some point. Re-posting this from another journal where things were phrased definitely better than I ever could phrase them.

Okay, I was done with this, let's go with it. At least I'm starting with the stuff I owe. I swear the rest is coming soon.

Title: Just Some Love
Rating: PG, and the P is because of the swearing probably
Pairing: Dean/Castiel
Words: 1812
Summary: That bastard son of a bitch of a ghost of a country singer had turned all of his collection into Keith Urban tapes.
Spoilers: uh, let's say general S4. No specific episodes but it's set after, so..
Disclaimer: not mine, definitely not mine.
A/N/Warnings: okay, so at that meme ibroketuesday asked for Dean/Castiel crack and... uh, clearly this isn't a drabble but I can't do drabbles, especially if crack, and I fear that the premise is crack but then it got kinda on the sweet side, but I tried. ;) Using also for sacred_20 #10, curse. Warning: a lot of Keith Urban. -nod- (And I actually like him. I'm just objective, but I love him anyway *cough*).

( “Cas, man, it’s… Keith Urban. I mean, he’s evil. Like, evil. My poor tapes.” )
