Recs here and there.

[castalie]

So. I finally started reading the stories over at sentinelsecrets - it was long time overdue, methinks. And I certainly enjoyed those fics. Which - again - made me think that I may not survive July and the ts_ficathons release because if reading nine stories from SenSecrets made me feel all happy and tingly inside, how will I recover from 86 brand new stories? But man, a fangirl gotta do what a fangirl gotta do, right? Right. Anyway, back to sentinelsecrets, I found one story in particular that was so fucking hot that I couldn't not share, so if you want Hotness, go and read
Just Another Day by I Have No Idea. Pfew, that was good!

I suck so much at music though that I didn't find a single album or song or whatever - actually, at one point I went as far as forgot as to what the challenge was and I had to check it out. I suck that much at recognising anything that has to do with music *cough*

Speaking of hot btw, after committing the unforgivable, namely deleting her own story by accident, maaaaa accepted to repost her Stripper story after I pestered cajoled begged asked her to. Thank you, mate! As for you guys - on the off chance you didn't read it the first time - it's TS, it's scorching hot, it's mysterious somehow, it's by Maaaaa, what more do you want, really?

Since I'm in a recc'ing mood it seems, here something completely different, ie a Yami no Matsuei fic I read last night: Silence is Golden by Helene. Not my usual pairing since this fic is Watari/Tsuzuki but well, I usually can't resist post-Kyoto arc stories so I tried it anyway and wow, I didn't regret it. It's a powerful story, beautifully written, and Tatsumi and Hisoka are also there and their characterisation is wonderful too, so I'm just sharing that one as well.

Actually since last night and this morning, I read some truly great stories and just sometimes? You fall in love with fanfiction all over again, I swear lol Being a fangirl is so sweet *g*

And a little GIP too, which technically doesn't exactly have anything to do with any of the fandoms I recced here but whatever. katikat was kind enough to share her Kato/Iwaki icon with me so I wanted to show it off, so there.

ETA: What now? Did the community tag disappear or something? *blink* It turns into an user instead, even though the tag is correct. So what, that's the glitch of the day? And please, don't tell me it's just me cause that would be freaky! And I just know that as soon as I'll leave the house, it'll all come back to normal and everyone will think I'm crazy. But I'm not! Glitch over, it seems.

No glitch, sentinelsecrets and ts_ficathons aren't communities but simply users. Therefore the user symbol. :-)

So, it's not just you and you're not crazy (well, just a little *g*).

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Nope, there is a glitch of some sort. sentinelsecrets is a user but ts_ficathons is supposedly a comm, which is why I knew it wasn't working. I don't know where it's coming from... I miss the little comm tags, let me tell you *sigh*

You remind me I need to reread the SS stories and leave feedback. I'm looking forward to the "unveiling".

For now, a rec for some recs. Due South, RayK and Fraser, combination schmoopy and sweetly hot. Enjoy.

There were some nice fics, I'm impatient to know who wrote what now. Well, as usual *g*

You know, I'm not into dS - though I love the show the fandom doesn't work that much for me. Too tame, too... I don't know, there's just something missing here *shrug* Though I do dabble in it now and then so I'll go and check that rec, of course lol Thanks *g*

[audrarose.livejournal.com]

though I love the show the fandom doesn't work that much for me. Too tame, too...

*snerk* Sorry. That just really amused me for some reason. Maybe it's the official vanilla fandom? ('cause I just love it. hee!)

The community tag is fine, but your mood icons have gone :O (The 'image properties' tag says they're on lostmuse.com, Merrin's domain that expired and wasn't renewed.)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

No it's not. It's written as a user - they all turned into one, I checked some entries back on my LJ. This is just odd. And actually, I defriended someone and realised that indeed, if I look at the list, it feels like I have no community at all, only users.

As for the mood icons, yeah I know - I mean, I remember reading that. I just didn't have time to do something about it. Thanks for reminding me though, cause I love my TS mood icons *clings*

[enigel]

You're right (of course) O_o I was looking somewhere else on the page (I've just confused myself by getting a new layout) but in the content of the entries it's gone. Someone from LJ's staff made a post about code changes that they're making and that glitches are to be expected. I didn't think they'd appear so soon :D

I love your TS mood too, so you'd better do something about it :P

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

And a little GIP too

*grins* And you totally confused me because I automatically assumed it was Kati's post when I started reading! Needless to say I realised my mistake when I read sentinelsecrets ^_~!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I know lol Actually, I think Kati got confused herself, hence the change of icon on her part. Well, all I know is that I'm quite happy with my own Haru icon so... *g*

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

Well, all I know is that I'm quite happy with my own Haru icon so...

Well, that's all that counts at the end of the day ^_~!

[audrarose.livejournal.com]

I have to get over to Sen Secrets and read. I didn't plan on guessing this time, b/c I didn't recognize very many of the names, so had no idea how they write... (though honestly, with my lifetime achievement record of one correct guess, could I do any worse?? hee!)

maaaaa's kink fics just melt me, man. Thanks for the rec. *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I didn't even try to guess either, like you, most of the writers were unknown entities to me - it's hard enough when you supposedly know the writers, but when you don't? Nah uh, no can do *shakes head*

Her kinky fics are some of my favourites, I don't even know how she does it! And you're welcome *g*

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

heeeee! Only *me*

You're welcome and thank *you* for the recc-age. *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Only you, that's right *shakes head*

Recc'age was a must, really, so you're welcome *g*

[enigel]

Heee, pretty Numb3rs mood theme! Is it shareable, who made it and where can I find it, please? :D

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'm making myself a TS/Numb3rs mood theme - and damn, uploading the thing is hell lol

It is shareable, and the girl even made three of those, I mean in three different colours and all *g* It was made by delgaserasca and you can find the files here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/tja_rama/21870.html#cutid1). Enjoy *g*

[enigel]

Thank you! It will take a while, seeing as I'm not on my computer and all, but the blue theme should be great until I make one of my own that will only have the Eppes :D And Terry. And Edgy. And maaybe Coop. Ahem.
