angst in Middle-earth because of ME ME ME

[sophinisba]

danachan wrote me angsty Merry drabbles.

claudia603 wrote angsty fic about Frodo and Aragorn for herself but I encouraged and betaed so I now lay claim.


Lately I have been reading mostly Monaboyd fics. Really loved the At Your Most Beautiful/Entire Worlds/The World Where We Live arc, with severely depressed Dom, by semaphore27, and am saving Haunted for a bit because once I read that and the short Lost fic I won't have any more of her fic left to read. :( I also just started reading a lovely AU set during the Korean war, written collaboratively by almaviva and kiltsandlollies at who_said_what. The story index is on the community profile page. I have not read much of this pairing in the past and it is exciting to be reading something new. I find myself really enjoying these long and angsty h/c fics whereas with Dom/Elijah I more often go looking for one-shots with porn.

ahaha. My fic just got kicked off Stories of Arda...Apparently some people complained omg. People need to get a life. That's all I can say!

Thank you, darling!!! *squishy hugs*

[sophinisba]

Arrgh, I saw that in your entry. Ah, well, hooray for LJ where we are actually allowed to post all our fic and not just the gen or just the slash or just the het. (And yay for mpreg and songfics omg.) And your fic has been a big hit on LJ.

I don't usually self-pimp, but if you want angsty Dom/Billy, I wrote one I'm rather fond of a while back:

A Cold Descent of Fearful Minutes (http://www.nightsgarden.com/colddescent.html)

Hope that suits. :)

[sophinisba]

Thank you for that!

Az, I finally came back and read this fic. It was really good. I'm a little bit disturbed by my fascination with depressed-in-LA!Dom. For some reason the part about him going out for sushi and sitting by himself and talking to the server kills me. I also liked the bit about not wanting to call Elijah and the reasons for it. Poor Dom! :( This fit my mood very well. Thank you.

Thank you, darling-- I'm very glad you liked the fic, and at the same time, sorry that there was a suitable mood for it.

*hugs again*

Hae you ever read 101 Things To Do in Zero Gravity?

[sophinisba]

NO I HAVE NOT! I'm practically a Monaboyd virgin! I have seen this one mentioned elsewhere and knowing that you like it makes a big difference so. One of these days. :)

[sophinisba]

I am posting the 101 Things link here for my reference. It's okay that I haven't seen Sniper 470, right?

It's totally OK that you haven't seen Sniper 470. The fic provides lots of background, skillfully so.

_dilse is excellent, as well. :D

[sophinisba]

I know, that is one of the ones I have bookmarked and I will give it a try. I also started another one I saw you rec, You're a Map of a Place Maybe Someday I'll Go. It is great so far but I am a rather slow reader. :)

[capra-maritimus.livejournal.com]

A monaboyd virgin, you say? Well, then you must check out esorlehcar's Dom and Billy Recs That Ate The World. :D:D:D

http://esorlehcar.livejournal.com/221226.html

And there's also bdotp, a community for Billy/Dom slash - or any character they've ever played. [For example, Merry/Pippin, Charlie Pace/Loan Shark, Jamie Holmes/Geoffrey Shawcross, Barrett Bonden/Sacha, etc.] :D

[capra-maritimus.livejournal.com]

And of course http://www.monaboyd.net. :D

[sophinisba]

Thank you very much for these links. It is great to have such a huge amount of fic waiting for me there. I know there's also a ton of my old favorite pairings that I haven't read yet, but it really is fun sinking into something new.
