Recs: Melusine, S-P Superheroes, belated Yuletide, and Art!

OK, first of all: Superhero Fanfic from Randy Mulholland, artist and writer of Something Positive. Really quite sweet, in that sharp-edged S-P way.

Next, the main reason for this post: if you are a slash fan and you enjoyed Sarah Monette's Melusine series, do I have a rec for you. "Always Bravely Acquiesce" by petronelle, set after The Mirador. Her summary: "In which Mildmay attempts to evade the unfortunate fate of Silas Altamont, and Felix reaches some degree of certainty that he has succeeded." I saw several unfulfilled Yuletide requests for a story about this pairing and set after that book, and I wish I could go find those people and let them know. So I figured I'd at least post here about this magnificent story.

But while I'm at it.... ( Yuletide Recs, after a fashion )

Last but totally not least, an art rec: look what a beautiful Connor Hawke _ming drew for me! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

My Birthday Dinner

So this starts with some background: my roommates are continually amused by my omnivory. I gleefully devour all manner of invertebrates, organ meats, and assorted treif if given the chance. So, Tigerlily arranged a lovely birthday dinner for me at Jasper White's Summer Shack, where I did indeed stuff myself with boneless animals from three different classes (bivalves, a cephalopod, and several crustaceans). But more on that in a bit. ( Read more... )

While I was writing this the UPS man came by my work, and brought with him two packages from derryderrydown and cellio respectively, thus contining my birthday wonderfully into today. I can't wait to get home to open these! *bounces once, then restrains self and posts*
