always been crazy

I owe some replies to the awesome and sweet comments on my last post, but I've feeling shitty over that whole situation (and the added issue with Ralph), plus I've been busy with birthday parties (Ava and Neville) and sleeping more than is healthy. I'm not really sure what's been going on the past few days other than that.

Fic rec:

never leave alone from a corner table by earlofcardigans
Avengers (2012 ARBB) || Clint/Coulson || 6660 words
Clint and Phil have most of their meaningful conversations over fries and milkshakes.

Because we all need some cheer in our lives...

alafaye (friend of a friend) is hosting The Cheering Up Meme.

Go, leave a prompt, look over the ones that are there and if you see some thing that inspires you, write it or draw it or whatever. Anything goes, let's spread some smiles! :)

There is also a Girl!Direction fic fest going on, if that's something you're interested in.

You know that feeling you get when you start reading a fic and you just know it's gonna be a favorite? Yeah, so that happened today. And it probably wasn't appropriate that I was reading it on my phone while standing in line while dropping monkeyface off at church camp, but I started it before we left here and wanted to finish it!

But yeah. If yall know me (and which fics are my all time favorites), then it won't surprise you that I loved this. So I'm sharing:

Won’t You Please (Leave Your Mark On Me) by torakowalski
Avengers || Phil Coulson/Clint Barton (past Clint Barton/Natasha Romanoff) || NC-17 || 20,000 words
Clint really likes handcuffs; he’s just not sure how to tell Phil that. Which is a problem since they’ve been sleeping together for a few months now. Contains: a character experiencing subdrop and so description and discussions thereof, some non-consensual handcuffing (not in a sexual sense) and one non-negotiated scene. Also the following kinks: handcuffing, bondage tape, spanking, wax play and discussion of whipping, painplay and flogging.
Also on A03

So, so good. :)

I have my flist titled as "Things to Make Me Smile", because that's mostly true. But sometimes, things on my flist just make me growly.

This is pretty much copied from copperbadge's entry here.

A few days ago, Wordpress suspended A Search For Survivors, and there was a letter campaign that had to be called off because they deleted it. [Read More About It Here] Now, they've brought it back, sort of, and are taunting waywardradish with it. They are, in fact, tormenting an abuse survivor by telling her she has no control over her words and her story.

So please, feel free to email them again at tosreports@wordpress.com to -- politely and courteously -- request that they stop interfering with the journal. No specific subject line is needed. Suggested text (via copperbadge):

I strongly protest your continued interference with the Wordpress journal childtorture.wordpress.com. It is a vital and invaluable resource for holding therapy survivors. The documentation it presents includes firsthand experiences, eyewitness accounts, and news, medical, and legal documents available to the public.

In suspending and/or removing this journal you are doing both the community and your own public image a severe disservice.

Holding therapy is abusive and lethal and aimed at children, who have no voice. Please give abuse survivors back their voice.

Please take a moment to send a short email, reblog if you are able, and if you have support to offer please offer it to Radish directly.

So, I've been tormenting shutyourface (and irisgirl12000 and reallythateasy) with fic about werewolf!Empires, and shutyourface said she really didn't know who they are/what they looked like. So, a short but informative picspam is called for!

I just did a RyanJ picspam last week or so, which you can find here.

Also, if you don't have Empires' album, I might disown you. I mean, it's on their website FOR FREE and it is AWESOME. Go here to download.

And if you're interested in the fan-created cover album, which I also quite enjoy, check out They Just Howl.

( Now, for pics of the band: )

I stole some more pictures from exsequar. You should check out her post here for more pics and other awesomeness about Empires.

And there is also a fantastic post with pictures here.

Apparently the past couple of days unofficially ended up being FOB picspam days, which totally made me smile!

strangefrontier posted Patrick Vaughn Stump Is Sexy: A Picspam.

ihavecake posted about the other nerdy, sexy one, Joe Trohman.

And stratospherique posted Petespam!

So that leaves ANDY HURLEY! If you've been on my flist a while, you know that I fail at picspams because I cannot make witty commentary on the pictures, or if I attempt it I usually give up part way through because I have the attention span of a small caterpillar. I tend to just throw pictures up and be like "HERE! HAVE SOME SHINY!" But I'll try.

Hi my favoritest peoples! It’s the last night for slashfest claiming, and there are still some amazing prompts left waiting to be snagged! Come take a look; you may see something you wanna claim and write, or something you can talk someone else into claiming (I’m guilty of trying to do this! And guilty of not talking irisgirl12000 out of claiming something even though she and I both have too much to do already!).

There’s something for everyone at slashfest! Some unclaimed prompts that deserve some love:

Criminal Minds: Reid/Morgan Set sometime after Revelation. Morgan thinks that part of Reid's problem is that he feels he has no control, so while they're fooling around or getting ready to fool around, Morgan just stops and makes Reid take over. [Find it here]

Criminal Minds/Bandom RPS Crossover. Spencer Reid/Brendon Urie Reid somehow knows one of the panic boys (from growing up in Vegas) and somehow Brendon ends up tied into a case the BAU is working. Reid is all weird because he likes Brendon but thinks he's so uncool in comparison. [Find it here]

Harry Potter: [Find them all here]
Dean/Seamus Post Hogwarts. Dean and Seamus wake up together (and naked) after a rough night none of them can remember. They question the people at the party and figure out" what happened, accepting it but... later (maybe months later after they have an established relationship), they find out it was all a joke from the twins. ;)
Harry Potter: Blaise/Draco Blaise and Draco are casual bed partners, there's no love between them. They date different people and fail them. Finally, they realise that they are meant for each other.
Sirius/Remus Marauder-era pranks, something involving the Map.

LOTR: Aragorn/Legolas Legolas congratulates the new King of Gondor the only way he knows how. There should be some kind of plot/back story to this too, not just a PWP. [find it here]

RPS Patrick Stump/Justin Timberlake Justin has some fond memories of working with Stump and Pete Wentz on Timbaland's Shock Value, and he's looking forward to seeing him at the VMAs. [Find it here]

RPS Jensen Ackles/Chris Kane Taking a break from the pressures of the Hollywood life and going back to Texas for some BBQ, beer, and old fashioned male bonding. Just what they both need to get over the job and the people they've missed out on because of it. [Find it here]

Shelter Zach/Shaun Zach feels like he owes Shaun, so he sends Cody with Gabe for the night and sets out to make a romantic dinner/evening for himself and Shaun, only things don't go exactly as planned. [Find it here]

Supernatural Sam/Dean Dean is withdrawn and introspective and Sam is sick of it. He ties Dean down to the bed and keeps him there, doing dirty things to him for an entire day until Dean starts to feel better. He complains but really he's very grateful to have Sam in his life and to have Sam take care of him. [Find it here]

Tin Man Glitch/Cain Glitch teaches Cain how to dance (waltzing preferred) in time for Ahamo and the Queen's second wedding/renewal of vows. How smutty it goes is up to you but I'd love to see some kissing at the very least. [Find it here]

COME TAKE A LOOK! CLAIM A PROMPT! TELL A FRIEND!!

Claiming is open until 11:59 EST tonight. [Rules and Regulations]

I had a dream about awesome sexytimes last night, but after I woke up I couldn't remember who it was with. DAMMIT.

Have some porn instead?

Special thanks to wearethestars for hand-holding and approval. And the title.

Summary: He looks away, back down at the camera, fiddles with the lens, and when he looks back up Jon's eyes are closed again, his lips moving against Cassie's ear, and she hums in response to whatever he whispers.

And, honestly. Tom? Yeah. She's fairly certain that the whole exercise will end in mind-blowing sex, if not the artistic, elegant photos that Jon wants for their private collection.
