Random links that may or may not be of interest but that I want to share with you:

I'm sure everyone has already seen this, but there can never be enough. Brendon stripping at the Milwaukee show

Pics of Pete at the beach with Bronx (daddy!Pete is my favorite Pete!)

Then there is this ridiculous pic of Chad Lindberg and Misha Collins. I'm not even sure what to say to this.

Are yall familiar with kickstarter.com? Basically is a site where people can raise funding for creative projects, and it's an all or nothing kind of deal. You pledge a certain amount, and if they don't receive enough pledges to cover their entire cost/fundraising, no money changes hands. Anyway, there are two projects on kickstarter that I wanted to share. If you could take a look, maybe spread the word, look around the site, support a project or two if you can and are interested, whatever. :) Summer, Summer, Summer and Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits.

Shit Is On: A Ray/Anyone Fic Fest

So, meeks00 did these awesome asofterworld remixes, where she took the posts from asofterworld.com, applied them to fandom(s), and found the appropriate screen shots to go with them. She has a compilation type post here that you should all go check out - includes GenKill, SPN, XMFC, and Game of Thrones.

My attention span is non-existent these days, so trying to focus on words long enough to read an LJ entry is difficult enough. Reading fic is darn near impossible, no matter how much I'd like to. And I even made a point to see the new XMen movie just because certain people on my flist were writing fic for it! But I do have fic marked to read and comment on, so I thought I'd share:

Hard Core Logo - I have not seen this movie, but apparently it's not 100% necessary to understand the fic. Plus, it's Jess!fic, so I'm gonna love it and rec it regardless.

James doesn’t get it. He doesn’t do this. He’s never anything but charming and awesome. Those are his default settings. So what even?

X-Men First Class

Five Times No One Asked Erik Lehnsherr Whether He Wanted This, And One Time They Almost Managed It by apiphile
Erik/Charles || PG-13 || 4,000 words
Warnings: medicalised torture, murders

Handsome Shark by stratospherique
For the xmen_firstkink prompt "Charles/Erik Smoking"
Sexy gen, lusting, but only the absolute barest of physical contact.

Entirely pointless snogging drabble written by stratospherique (fluff set well after the movie)

Boys of Summer by stratospherique
Sean-centric, hints of Sean/Alex, unresolved mild sexual tension, casual drug use
1000 words (EXACTLY \o/)

Boys of Summer Part 2 by stratospherique
porny sequel to Boys of Summer

this fill on the xmen kink meme that was for this prompt:
A sinister prompt, I do profess,
but this is the one that I like best -
a long-play fic of domestic type
which is rotten beneath all the hype;
where Erik is trapped in this fantasy
and it is not where he wants to be;
Charles tweaks his mind to keep him compliant,
but lets him become occasionally defiant -
the sex is better when Erik's enraged:
think "mindrapist" rather than "engaged".

Et in Arcadia ego by apiphile
Erik/ Charles || PG-13 || 5900 words
Everything’s just fine and beautiful between the world’s most lovely mutants. No, really. It is.
