The snap of a twig drew her attention. A boy emerged from between the trees, black of hair, with dark paint across his eyes. From either side of his forehead a pair of antlers branched out.
Mature, AU. This is truly magical!
Vid. I can’t live without him, by coldrequiem
A beautiful platonic parabatai tribute by one of my favourite vidders. Music: Come to This, by Natalie Taylor (but with a male voice?)
Vid: Me Too, by space monkey
Oh, Alec Lightwood, my snarky piece of sexyness… Okay, I admit it, I’m just sitting here with *hearteyes*, this vid is too cute! :) Music by Meghan Trainor.
“You look like him. So did Pierce.” His voice is soft, gravelly from disuse. “Is that why they picked you?”
Steve’s heart plunges like an elevator with the cables cut. “Buck, it is me.”
The hard line of Bucky’s mouth softens just a little. “Sure,” he says.
Mature, post-WS. I’d read the terrifying meta that inspired this, pointing out how much a young Robert Redford / Pierce resembled Chris Evans / Steve, but this just… broke me. Excuse me while I ugly-cry.
Captain Hydra || lunacy
Holy cow, I have no idea how this was done, but it’s amazing! I have no love for the Captain Hydra storyline, but this is awesome. Music: Macbeth trailer.
Bucky Barnes || the failing one
Ngh… Bucky being badass does *things* to me. ;) Music: bombing bastards, by terranova & tricky.
Alec Lightwood, ladies and gentlemen. :)
Just a tribute to my favourite Shadowhunter, because I’m shallow. Music by Air.
Vid: Lightwood - Remember the name, by dammit daddario
Ladies and gentlemen, the Lightwood siblings, kicking ass and taking names… <3 Music by Fort Minor.
Whither thou goest, I will go.
Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried.
The Angel do so to me, and more also,
If aught but death part thee and me.
- Parabatai oath
New fandom! I actually only started watching this show because the concept of parabatai intrigues me so much and Alec is my precious cinnamon roll. :) This isn’t a shippy vid per se, but I so very much do ship them. Soul bonds, best friends and brothers in arms, forbidden love - how can I resist? *g*
Music: Destiny, by Ninja Tracks.
Vid: Back to the Westworld, by Todd Spence
This is surprisingly perfect. It shouldn’t fit, but it totally does.
“Designate it the Winter Soldier.” Karpov stepped back, satisfaction filling his face. “Prep the first memory shock pattern and—”
“Wipe him.”
Adult, angst. This fic ate my heart and spit it out. Oh, Bucky! I don’t think I’ve ever read such a gut-wrenching description of how the Asset was created. This was written pre-Civil War, and canon was actually kinder to him, something to which I clung while descending into the darkness…
Vid: 6 MInutes of Salt, by saara-a-v
I watched a couple of eps of this show and wasn’t particularly hooked. However, there’s something about Alec and his unimpressed face… Music: Walking On Sunshine (instrumental), by Katrina and the Waves.
Frank was surprised by how quickly he became used to the cards.
Gen, post-movie. As much as I’d like them to have a romantic happy ending, this story of how Frank and Rachel remain friends is lovely - and happy, too.
Vid: Fic trailer - This, You Protect (by owlet), by shirasade
The mission resets abruptly, from objective: kill to objective: protect.
I love owlet’s series so much! <3 Warning: vid contains spoilers for the fic! Music: Cells, by The Servant.
Most of him was covered in black robes, just like Luke round about the time of Endor. Leia had laughed at Luke for it. She’d laugh at Ben now, if there was any room for laughter between them. She hadn’t had anyone to laugh with in such a long time.
Teen, post-TFA. I’m not a Kylo/Ben fangirl, but oh, this fic… Leia’s POV here is simply amazing, and I lovedlovedLOVED all the different relationships forming after Ben gets captured by Luke and Rey.
Harkness Anthropology 101: An Abridged Guide to Human Sexual Evolution
Sex looks a lot like your life these days. You can have something for an hour, a night, maybe a year or two, and then it’s gone. Even if you believed in it, it would be stupid to think that staking claims means all that much.
Teen, Jack/various. Great Jack character study in early series 1, with just the right dash of Ianto. :)
Vid: Not In Control Of Myself, by Destiny Is A Funny Thing
This one’s short (and doesn’t have any Steve in it, which is unusual *g*), but it doesn’t pull any punches - and I simply love how the noises Bucky makes (completely wordless, because that was taken from him, too) fit into the soundscape. Music: Data Romance - Night Section.
Vid: It’s Raining Men, by DailyAsgardianNews
A tribute to all the attractively falling (and just attractive) men of the MCU… Love it! Music by The Weather Girls.
STEVE & BUCKY | SOUL BATTLES
“I have a mission for you”. How Steve and Bucky were made into a weapon and how they took their autonomy back.
please check out my vid commissions post! thank you!
More of a character study of the boys and what they’ve been through - goosebumps galore… Music by Ryan Taubert.
