I come bearing links. Politics first. Maureen Dowd of the NY Times writes Dick Cheney/Saudi Government fanfic
Sort of.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rozk has some smart things to say and wishes some role-playing skills on George W. Bush here..
Faith, as we all know, is like black (not Sirius) - she works with everyone. (Well, except the Mayor. Given their father/daughter relationship, I find the idea of Faith/Mayor unpalatable.) But not everyone can write her. So I was delighted to read three different combinations, all handled plausibly and with insight into the characters.thran gives us that rarety, a story concentrating on Faith and Wood . Not a popular fanfic pairing, but I thought they were adorable in their "who's prettiest?" scene in Chosen, and working out their Slayer issues together in Buffy's bed made kinky sense in Touched. thran writes with sympathy for both.
Next, we have another rarety: Faith/Connor (sort of). I was hooked from the sentence "He reminds her of Buffy" onwards. (Because I used that comparison myself in my Darla and Connor story.) Let me have no impediment for the union of true messed up souls.
Of course, my favourite Faith pairing will always be Faith/Buffy. Those last season 7 episodes, and Buffy equating her relationship with Spike to her relationship with Faith, give us some new canon to work with, andpandarus does so, beautifully.
pandarus also wrote the first OotP-informed Snape/Lily. Apart from lizbee and Earthwalk, I've seen few people who can pull off this particular pairing without sentimentalizing Severus Snape, but pandarus succeeds with flying colours, and her Lily simply rocks.
Mariner, akamarinarusalka, one of the best Harry Potter fanfic writers, has committed filk. Be sure not to drink anything while you read her musical version of that handshake Dumbledore forced Sirius and Snape to do in GoF, here. Just as dangerous to your computer screen is her Snape solo I am the Very Model of an Anti-Hero Archetype.
And one last HP link: first snap shot of Gary Oldman as Sirius in the third HP movie here. Also starring Rupert Grint and Alan Rickman (the later sans make-up, so not in character as Snape).
If you've recovered from that one and share with me a fondness for the Star Wars prequels, you might understand that I, an admirer of vids, was quite frustrated none of those talented vidders whose work I admire, likes them and hence is likely to use them as material. (Thoughastolat did a fabulous Luke-and-Leia centric vid, "Kid Fears", which uses a few TPM images as well.) So imagine my delight when cadesama found me some prequel vids
here. My profound SW thought for the day: Anakin complex, Hayden pretty. So there.
