Rec me!
Okay, folks; TWO WHOLE DAYS OFF!! (followed by five days of work and a one-week VACATION. On the beach between dives. This means HEAPS of time for reading.)
So that means HIT ME
This weekend, I'd love recs for X-men First class plotty fic, AU okay, Charles/Xavier (what? It's more canon than canon) and Hank/Alex or Alex/Darwin. Not so much into Alex/Sean. Given the weekend (and, no, I don't have tickets yet. Bad fan, me) I'd read some classic Remus/Sirius HP fic. Also, Being Human US fic: always. Especially Aidan/Josh or TruBlood fic-- which I've never dabbled in since Charlene Harris writes it anyway *g*.
Next week, I'm placing an Amazon book order. I haven't gone the way of the kindle* but I'm looking for quality Urban Fantasy, really good straight fantasy or sci-fi, or surrealist/magical realism in fiction (esp Spanish authors).
*I have nothing against Kindles and I may go there for beach reading especially--less weight in my luggage and the Kindle, in particular, is functional in the sun. I like reading on a screen, as evidenced by all the fanfic I devour. I just a) really wish you could d/l large fanworks onto your kindle and b) wish that purchasing an e-title gave you more complete rights to it. Basically the cost is the same but the rights are far more limited than for buying a real book. I would, however, buy a "package" with the paper and digital versions included for some kind of discount...

You did not mention! I'll have to read those books someday soon. I'm not entirely sure where my copy of the first is. Probably in a box somewhere, with all my other books I can't find.
NOT RELATED: My Little Ponies/X-Men: First Class trailer. Just, you know. Because it exists. (The pies, omg.)

Between the rainbow!farts and the pie-in-the-sky!spittle, that was too many kinds of cracked nuts.
And I did add your most recent to the stack ;)
Um. So I might also have an XMFC!Casablanca open on my desktop, I'm just not entirely decided who'd make the best Rick, Charles or Erik. and I mean that in all seriousness. Erik is the obvious choice (including, in name) but Charles, especially the FC!Charles I could imagine becoming so disillusioned and it doesn't even bear mentioning that he would pwn the hell out of a nightclub/casino... IDEK.
