nrgburst: (YESSSSS)
It's the mooooost wonderful tiiiime of the year~

This is just my favourite exchange- you never know if you're getting a delicious little ficlet or a giant chocolate heart or ART. And I got fanart this year for the first time, I am all aglow! Beth/Benny, Red String of fate in cozy, snuggly turtlenecks! Just look at the movement in this! :DDDDD

dance me to the end of love - (Beth Harmon/Benny Watts, G, fanart)

My recips both like their fics, so I'm pretty stoked. I'd not written fic for either fandom before, although the tropes I used are faves. 


Multifandom recs - here are some of the pieces I adored:

Fics:

Marshmallow Fluff - (Calvin&Hobbes, Calvin&Calvin's Mom, G, 907 words) HILARIOUS Spaceman Spiff intro that is just Perfection. Loved the ending of this too, Calvin's Dad totally deserves his "character building." LOL

A Thousand Shades and One - (Enola Holmes/Viscount Tewkesbury, G, 1590 words) 5+1, Language of flowers, post canon epistolary? SIGN ME UP. Her Enola voice is spot on perfect and the sweet, sweet flirting and Enola's protesting too much denials are adorable. 

Starring Matt Damon - (Matt Damon&Loki, G, 480 words) OMG this was soooo funny I am cracking up all over again typing this out! You know how it was Matt Damon inexplicably playing Loki in Thor Ragnarok? The author runs with that concept all the way through to the end of the film- just the best kind of crackfic. 

Beginners' Method - (Miles Morales&Peter Benjamin Parker, G, 681 words) A lovely little exploration of how Spiderman Noir is beginning to learn colors, and Miles helping him do so with his own hobby. 


Fanart:


In Highgarden - (Sansa Stark/Margaery Tyrell, G, fanart) This is so beautifully done. The details like the lines of the fabric are exquisite.

Nights in the Waste - (The Castle&Turnip Head, G fanart) A lovely digital piece. 

Capture the Castle - (Joe|Yusuf Al-Kaysani/Nicky|Nicolo di Genova, G, fanart) This piece is absolutely stunning, and is an amazing historical parallel to their kiss in the movie.

Stay with me a little bit longer - (Hades/Persephone, G, fanart) POMEGRANATE FLOWERS and such a sweetly loving pose.

So based on this (the pinpoints of HUD light inside Grace's pupils/surgical scars vs her normal ones looking at a wounded Dani with regret):
I wrote this:

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Terminator (Movies)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Major Character Death
Relationships: Grace Harper/Dani Ramos
Characters: Grace Harper, Dani Ramos
Additional Tags: Tragic Romance, Canon Compliant, Canonical Character Death
Summary: Grace volunteered because she'd always wanted to be stronger and faster- she hadn't bargained on the sensory enhancements being a pain in the ass.
Still, there may be benefits she hadn't thought of either.


And here is my gift! A sweet fluffy Taki/Mitsuha reunion piece!

Summary:Mitsuha feels a supernatural pull towards the handsome architect she crosses paths with on the street one day.
It's almost as though they've met before.

Also here is my completed AxGweek fic! This is a post-canon fix-it and I think it addresses Arya's Faceless arc a lot better than the show did? (Since the show just sorta dropped it. She was Arya Stark of Winterfell and going home, ha! But... turns out she didn't ACTUALLY give up being Faceless and stole a bunch of faces. And isn't it odd how emotionally stunted she seems after getting her vengeance on the Freys while being Faceless.) I combined 5 of the axgweek prompts into one fic and I think it worked pretty well. :D The other two days I did GIFsets plus a bonus art/edit so I did my best to represent, anyway! LOL

Three AxGweek recs under here! )
nrgburst: (joker applause)


I juuuust finished the GIFset for this prompt! :DDD Game of Thrones + BLUE (A Song of Ice and Fire) here on my tumblr
(alternate title was The Dragon has Three heads LOL). 

Here are some icons I made while making the set. GIF icons are sized for DW only and won't work on LJ. Please credit if you gank'em!


Two songs come to mind immediately!

Blue by Sarah McLachlan (which is a cover of the song by Joni Mitchell, but I heard this first)


Also sticking with my Canadian theme, here's a live version of Beautiful Blue, one of my favourite songs by Holly McNarland



MCU: Since Nebula and Loki both have blue skin, here's a delightful GIFset parallelling them! angsty, blue and always ready to fight
 
And a Nebula GIFset with some of her most iconic lines. (Although I think the most !!! I was about her was in the first GoTG when she chose to CUT OFF HER OWN HAND rather than reach for help. LOL) #relateable




x (Didn't make these myself but original blog is deactivated so this is a link to my original reblog)

ETA: Why do I keep forgetting AtLA?!

Water is the element of change GIFset. This is the explanation Uncle Iroh gives in 2x19. 
nrgburst: (yes i canada)
I'm actually editing a history of Canadian citizenship right now for the Lost Canadians and surprise! There were lots of racist laws designed to disenfranchise our Indigenous people and Asian immigrants. The most annoying thing is that they still affect our laws today. Of course I'm still proud to be Canadian! I just think we need to make sure our laws reflect who we are as a society now, instead of say, a vehement racist like Mackenzie King. (Who is on our $50 bill. Which is red.) Which brings me to:


 First year doing this!


This is one of my favorite colors and I've made lots of past fanworks with a red theme or totem:

Red String of Fate GIFset (Taki/Mitsuha, KNNW/Your Name)

Red String of Fate/Red Comet in Bound (meta) (Arya/Gendry, GoT)

ETA: OMG HOW COULD I FORGET THIS INCREDIBLE FANART?! (Arya/Gendry, Asoiaf with the Red String of fate)

I'm going to make a KNNW Red themed set later- this prompt came up in the evening for me so I don't have time to cap and GIF now. DONE HERE

The song Red by Taylor Swift is literally the first thing that pops into my head when you mention the color. She refers to it in Daylight on Lover too, and that specific lyric is the epigraph for 結び in Bound. ("I once believed love would be burning red. But it's golden like daylight.") BUT of course I made a GIFset with the lyrics from Red:

Loving him was Red GIFset (Kol/Davina, The Originals) 

And because I associate Red with Vadar specifically here is my Kolvina set with Anidala quote after Kol killed Davina. FUN TIMES WITH OTP PARALLELS GUYS

Speaking of Vadar, who views the world in red:

Deal with the Devil GIFset (Anakin to Vadar, Palpatine, Star Wars)

and here is a drabble rec: Favorite Color by [archiveofourown.org profile] Merfilly 



Not sure if I'm doing this right, but I'll make the KNNW GIFset later if this is supposed to be limited to new works. Just wanted to dip my toe in, so to speak!




nrgburst: (gendrya)
For Trope Bingo and all other interested parties. LOL


First on the list is the Gendrya fandom classic. I'm sure everybody who likes the AryaxGendry pairing has read it, and it is literally the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the trope. From 2011 and still awesome. Book canon, not show, so they start out younger and do some growing up together. It is a classic for a reason- it's SO GOOD.
Five Times Arya Stark Shared a Bed With Gendry (11870 words) by vixleonard
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Gendry/Arya Stark
Characters: Arya Stark, Gendry (ASoIaF), Jon Snow, Sansa Stark
Summary: She is Arya Stark of Winterfell, a girl with four brothers who has always felt more comfortable in the company of men, but Gendry...Well, he's just confusing

This corner of the fandom is actually still veeery active, to the point where the gendrya tag is often overwhelming. So here are some more recs for this pairing WRT this specific trope. I noticed a couple of weird things while I was compiling this list: some authors don't tag for bed sharing even when it is in the fic, while some tag it even when they never share a bed in the whole fic. :/ But here are some well written bed sharing fics that are A+ in terms of cuddly comfort and/or UST with mutual pining and angst. *happy sigh*


Here's a short but sweet "Missing scene" type fic for while "Arry" and Gendry are travelling with Yoren after escaping KL.
Out of the Dark (805 words) by Schwoozie
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Arya Stark/Gendry Waters
Characters: Arya Stark, Gendry Waters
Additional Tags: Sharing a Bed, on the road, Canon Compliant, Canon Genderbending, Friendship, Caretaking, One Shot
Summary: Arya is too stubborn for her own good, but Gendry can tell there's something more beneath it. He gives what little comfort he can.


And at the other end of canon, here is a great fic with awkward bedsharing because it's post GoT canon. 
All roads lead to Qohor (12315 words) by obsessivewriter
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, Game of Thrones (TV)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Arya Stark/Gendry Waters
Characters: Arya Stark, Gendry Waters, Original Characters
Additional Tags: Friends to Lovers, exes to friends and back to lovers, Search For Identity, Tattoos, Blacksmithing
Series: Part 3 of Qohor
Summary: Arya goes West to find what there is at the edge of the world, while Gendry gives two years to his lordship, and then finally heads East to learn Qohorik smithing secrets. Fate would have that if you go far enough West, and far enough East you are bound to meet.
When they meet, Gendry invites Arya to stay at his place, while she sorts herself out. In the end, she doesn't leave, and they find their way to becoming friends again, they finally talk about all the things left unsaid between them, and they explore the secrets of Qohor, The City of Sorcerers.


This has been recently updated. The last line in the second chapter will give you delightfully angsty pangs.

During the Storm (8286 words) by Scylla87
Chapters: 3/3
Fandom: Game of Thrones (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Underage
Relationships: Arya Stark/Gendry Waters
Characters: Arya Stark, Gendry Waters
Additional Tags: Brotherhood without Banners AU, bed sharing, Angst, Aggravation, Masturbation, Unresolved Sexual Tension, Vaginal Fingering, Voyeurism, Increasingly Explicit Smut, Wet Dream
Summary: Separated from the rest of the Brotherhood and forced to take shelter from a wicked storm in the nearest inn, things get a little tense when Arya and Gendry are forced to share a very small bed. (Takes place a few years in the future in a world where they both stayed with the Brotherhood. Arya's age left ambiguous, so you can make her whatever age you feel comfortable with. I tagged this underage to err on the side of caution.)

Last but not least, this is a long road-trip fic with lots of UST bedsharing (and then RST bedsharing):

Summary:

“You shouldn’t be in here by yourself. The only men that come in here are thieves and creeps,” he said.

If she was put off by his demeanor, Arya was even more taken aback by his tone.

“Which one are you then?”

-

(With a graduate degree secured and a dream job waiting in Winterfell, Arya Stark has two months to kill and three-thousand miles ahead of her, before her career begins - until a grumpy hitchhiker causes her to change course, in more ways than one.)
