I meant to post this yesterday, but I didn't get home from job #2 until around six, and then went out for oysters (it's Oyster Festival time around here). Not as much for this week, as my fic-reading and journal-browsing have been severely hindered by work. *le sigh*

I LOVE YOU meme.
Leave some love. Spread some love. Feel some love. ♥

COMMUNITIES.

wordy_icons | A community for eloquential icons.
Sometimes you need words to get across what you're feeling. I've always loved this community, made some icons in the past, and the great thing is that not only do you get a lot of varied themes in the text/brush icons, but most of the artists link to their stock icons in the same posts, as well.

WORDS.

taelynhawker | Soaked to the Bone (Sink like a Stone)
Dean/Sam. Dean hates California. They weren't even here on a case. They had been in southern Oregon when Sam found what he thought might be a lead in California. And Dean had tried to get out of it, but Sam had been adamant. And so they'd come here only for it to be a false trail. 10,400 words. NC17.
So I'm a sucker for bottom!Sam, and for kidnapping stories (for which I totally blame 'The Promise'), so this story was a no-brainer. Also features a well-done Bobby, and some scorching, awesome sex.

not_refined | Ocala Nights
Jared/Jensen. Jared/Sandy. Jensen buys a house and, over a few summer vacations, Jared’s visits there change their relationship beyond his wildest dreams. 9,200 words. PG13.
How about an oldie-but-goodie? Rediscovered this fic while I was redoing all my delicious tags, written two years ago, that was just so good and happy-inducing I had to make sure everyone's read it. The relationship that develops between Jared and Jensen is still something that those of us with OTP ♥'s still long to see today. And Sandy is great in this too. Sort of makes me miss her. But the author sums this up in three words - domestic, summery, and fairytale.

Kahlan/Cara [Legend of the Seeker]. The Seeker and his companions seem happy to be chaste. The Mord'Sith are not. 5,000 words. NC17.
Alright, so I don't read femmeslash that often, but I love Legend of the Seeker and I love these two characters. For those needing visual aids, here they are [Kahlan is the brunette, Cara the blonde]. If you don't know much about it, Kahlan is a Confessor, pure of heart and body, and Cara is a Mord'Sith - a leather wearing, emotionally terse, former dominatrix, basically :) But they're on the same side now, and sort of flirt when Richard's not looking! Plus, this pairing's tough (anything with Kahlan is) since she can't touch anyone while having sex without putting them under a permanent, irreversible spell. The author does Cara's snark perfectly!


As always, recs are things I have enjoyed, and can range anywhere from interest-piquing kinks to total guilty pleasures!
