A Day Like Today Part 1

Grimes was having a minor amount of trouble breathing, but he didn't mind that at all. The problem was that he'd forgotten how to breathe around all that cock, but it was no big deal. Muscle memory. He would pick it up again real fast.

I know. Unbelievably I actually got it together to post some fic instead of a rant. Must be because it's a holiday.

Happy Canada Day!

A Day Like Today
Fandom: post BHD, The Long Haul
Pairings: Grimes/McKnight, Hoot/Sanderson
Rating: this part R for mature themes
Warnings: sub/Dom, relationship in crisis, substance use, poor communication, jealousy and ogling of the office manager.
Follows Operation Under the Radar.
Summary: Several months after being seriously wounded by unexploded ordinance, McKnight is out of the hospital, trying to adjust to his new situation, and not entirely succeeding. Grimes is trying his best to do his duties at work and home, and not entirely succeeding. Kurt Schmid is upset about something, Hoot can't help himself, and Sanderson takes charge.
The whole of the Long Haul series to date is here.

Grimes slowed his bicycle to a stop. He watched the line of school children cross the street. The crossing guard wore an orange vest. The air was still warm, but clear, the way he imagine it was everywhere in the fall. Everything seemed perfectly normal. Funny how the world kept going on around him, no matter what. It was enough to make a person feel insignificant, even on a day like today...

AND spy stuff:

Title:
Under Cover
Fandom: Eastern Promises, sequel to Deep Cover.
Pairings: OFC(Lydia)/Nikolai Luzhin Nikolai/Kirill mentioned
Rating: NC-17 overall.
Warning: Graphic descriptions of physical disfigurement, remembrances of het sex, problematic power issues and seething resentment, and generally nasty people
Other Warning: Will make no sense at all if you have not seen Eastern Promises (which I highly recommend, although be warned that it contains violence, gore, brutality and very nasty people with some very offensive ideas and habits) and my fanfic of it, Deep Cover.

Let's see what Lydia is up to two years and eight months after the events of Deep Cover...

Both of these are WIPs, and will be continued in the next few days, possibly even earlier.

Last weekend there was the most bizarre conversation involving two neighbours, both of whom are immigrants (from vastly different parts of the world) and who were talking in the most xenophobic, anti-immigration manner one could possibly imagine.

A little later, there was a thing with a female neighbour that was jaw-droppingly sexist.

I've come to the conclusion that just because someone belongs to a group, doesn't mean they have that group's best interests at heart. If any of these people were to be taken seriously as the only representatives of their respective 'minorities' or 'oppressed groups' or whatever you choose to call them, it would set the world back by at least 4 decades as far as equal/civil rights goes.

I still have to listen to them. Their opinions are as valid as the next person's. But it's up to ME to decide what I think is right and moral, and it's up to me to stick up for what I think is right and moral, even if they think people from certain parts of the world should be restricted from entering the country, or that lower wages for work of equal or more value are justified for whatever reason, or whatever it is they happen to be saying that makes my skin crawl. Although, I admit, it's kind of weird when you are arguing with someone who is X about how something is harmful to X, and they are telling you, "Oh, no, we don't mind at all when we don't get the same rights as other people - we're so used to it it's part of who we are!"

I don't know why these particular people hold these particular opinions.

Maybe they are self-hating. Or they hate being X.

Maybe they've been fucked over so much they don't even see that they're being fucked over.

Maybe they don't care about how other X-type people get fucked over, because they've managed to avoid a lot of the fucking over that so many other X-type people have had to endure just because they are X.

Maybe they follow some political or ideological philosophy, we'll call it Z ideology, and the oppression of X is part of Z ideology, and they feel that their membership Z somehow overrides the fact that they are X. Maybe in order to belong to Z, they've had to deny they are X - negate one identity in order to claim another.

I also don't know why they can't belong to lots of different groups at the same time. Does being one thing mean you have to stop being another? Maybe being X is inherently contradictory to being Z, in some way, so they feel a need to choose, or maybe it's easier or less confusing to choose one, rather than deal with the contradictions.

I remember the old debates about men marching in the International Women's Day event. Some poeple did not want any men present, others felt their struggle as a member of X minority group was more important or critical then their identity as a woman within that larger group. Those conundrums were never solved - they were managed in ways that would minimize harm and maximize freedom. But that freedom was not a free-for-all. Cooperation was required. Agreements had to be made, usually involving the order of the groups marching, so there would be a smaller chance of men wandering into a women-only part of the march, and that would not relegate members of a particular group to a position in the march they felt was insulting. The negotiations were not easy, and enforcement was a delicate matter, but it was worth the effort to promote inclusion.

I think it's a shame when anyone feels forced to choose any one aspect of their identity over another. And I also think it's a shame when people feel they cannot hold their own, valid opinion on something because they are not part of a group. You don't have to be a polar bear to see that global warming is bad for polar bears. You shouldn't have to be X to recognize that a particular law or action is harmful to X.

But it is possible to be X and not recognize that a particular law or action as harmful to Xs in general.

It's possible to be Z and realize that Z is not fair to X, and to try to do something about it.

It's possible to be neither X nor Z, yet still see that X and Z have issues

Identity is something Canadians struggle with in a profound way, so when Canada Day rolls around, some of us tend to tie ourselves in knots about this sort of thing. It's a curse, but one I wouldn't give up for citizenship of any other country in the world.

I fucked up on my first analogy, but try try again.

( There is a fabulous art museum! )

Does that make more sense?

( For the record... )

And I really mean it.

So I tried to make an analogy about the warnings issue, and I guess I fucked it up royally because it got completely misunderstood. My error was comparing one set disabilities and accommodations with another. You can't explain something people don't understand with something else people don't understand. I apologize for that. People tend to use things they are familiar with when making an analogy, so my analogies often involve disability, because that's the way I roll.

Well, actually, that's the way I limp.

Ha! See - we make jokes! We have a sense of humour! We're just like you! Look out, it might be catching.

Anyway,
( Here is the detailed, step-by=-step explanation of the original analogy, for anyone who is interested )

And here is my new, improved, simpler analogy, that uses ART instead of disability, and should make more sense.

The poster said that linking from a personal journal was fine, so I am. Please read this, because I am too frazzled to explain this in my own words tonight. I'll be back online when I'm feeling a little more centered.

The latest controversy in fanfic land appears to be about warnings. People who are in danger of being triggered by fic involving abuse/noncon/rape/violence/death are saying that warnings should be posted for the type of fic that might contain triggers. I agree.

( And... oh, how predictable fandom is... )

I finally managed to see Angels and Demons.

I post no spoilers, except to say, as I was just saying to sue_chose_this, that Ewan McGregor is the only man on the entire planet who can wear a full-on fucking Catholic priest cassock and still have a luscious bottom.

It IS uncanny.

Let us give a prayer of thanks for Ewan McGregor's buns. You can't even hide them under centuries of religious dogma and finery.

Okay, I said no spoilers, but I noticed in the credits there was a religion adviser, an Illuminati adviser, and a military adviser, but no SCIENCE adviser. No shit, Sherlock.

The fucking Hadron Super Collider? Using the Large Hadron Collider to create ANTI-matter? Anti-matter suspended by electro magnets running off a battery???? And the research team was planning to use this anti-matter as an alternative energy source??? *shakes head*

Fucking Hollywood.

That said, I'm glad I went to see it, if only so I could have the fantasy of defrocking a particular priest from the ground up, bending him over my knee and [insert crude joke about 'global warming'].

Also, I totally agree with redjacket that the new Sherlock Holmes movie looks like it may be a lot of fun, even though it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH, you know, SHERLOCK HOLMES. Caps totally on purpose.

Nothing terribly new here, but I did manage to get all this up on my site. Phew!

Brand new site!

In less than 2 weeks I will travel to the institute of higher learning that I have not physically attended for the last 10 years to accept my BA in English Language and Literature. Hence my generally introspective mood lately (along with my usual introspection, and a few other, choice, B-movie-ish events in my life, which I will not go into in detail here.)

In honour of this momentous occasion, and the 10 fucking LONG years of distance education it took to get me here, I have compiled a list of a dozen things that my expensive education has taught me. Those of you who are English majors will already know most of this, but a little review never hurt anything.

( What you learn while earning your English degree... )

I've been having a tough time of it lately, physically an mentally, doing a lot of serious-style inner-thinking and soul searching, thinking about the meaning of life and what to do after graduation and all that grownup stuff. And I have come to a very definite conclusion about what would make my life more worthwhile.

There absolutely needs to be an R-rated movie in which Alexander Skarsgard and Viggo Mortensen play step-brothers who never meet until their father dies and Alexander sets out to find out more about his family but ends up discovering his true incestuous gay identity.

This film, of course, would have to include several scenes with the brothers speaking in the various different languages they speak, on account of my language kink. And I think there should be at least one skinny dipping scene.

There could be a parallel story in which Alexander's best friend, Orlando, encouraged by his buddy's good luck in finding his family, his true self and sexual fulfillment, could go in search of his long-lost step-brother, and find, to his shock and delight, that he's related to a 6'4" Australian auto mechanic named Eric with a chest like a Mack truck and a dazzling smile.

And then Orlando could notice that Alexander, who he's been friends with all his life and never really noticed in that way before, is also 6'4" has a pretty fucking dazzling smile, and further discover that he, Orlando, has a height!kink and is positively melted by dazzling smiles, and then Alexander would discover he's not a monogamous sort after all. And neither is Viggo. Nor is Eric, who realizes that he has a think for Nordic guys of all ages and heights, and has a particular penchant for licking chin clefts.

And there could be another skinny dipping scene. Moonlit.

Now I'm just rambling, aren't !?

Holy Uniform Kink Batman!!!!!!!!!





Let the smut ensue...

The Life finale.

LOVE.

That is all I can say.

Colour me choked up.

My first ever Generation Kill fic, for redjacket.

This makes me ridiculously happy. It must be my Canadian genes or something.

Christian Hanson, son of Dave "Jack" Hanson, of the infamous "Hanson Brothers"has been signed by the Leafs. I don't even follow hockey, but as a movie buff...almost giddy.

This is the best thing I've ever written, so if you're interested in what I can do writing-wise,a nd don't mind a little het, please take a gander at my Eastern promises sequel fic, "Deep Cover", now up on its own web site.

Also, as I work my way through my much, belated holiday presents, something for my dear sue_chose_this, who makes the vids that make me go *squeeee* and has made several for me, and also manips, and who is a gorgeous feedbacker, and I heart her to little teeny pieces, but then I put her back together again, because that's how much I heart her. *kisskiss*

Here is a little something I was told could not be done... so I did it. Heh:

Title: The Strange Case of Mr. Norman Warne
Author: heartofslash
Fandom: Historical, Miss Potter
Pairing: Norman Warne/John Gray
Rating: PG-13
Warning: Obscure, to say the least.
Dedication: To the wonderful sue_chose_this, who probably did not believe that I could, in fact, slash Ewan McGregor in Miss Potter, or rather, prior to Miss Potter… and explain Norman's strangely staid-yet-foppish-without-overt-flamboyance appearance.

The Strange Case of Mr. Norman Warne, or how to make the most seemingly upright, prudish character Ewan McGregor has ever played have sexsexsex, if only in a mild fashion..."

You Are Combat Boots

You are a complete and total rebel. You refuse to do what you're told, and you're quite stubborn. You really don't care what other people think of you. You are tough and often ruthless. You are independent, iconoclastic, and countercultural. You resent authority figures. You are very headstrong. No one is going to pressure you into being someone you're not!

*is smug*

(And wasting time...)

I'm greedy, I'm demanding, and I want the best fanvid ever. Can YOU make it for me?

I will pay. BIG. I'm talking MAJOR PORNTASTIC BONANZA to whoever makes the the following video:

The Monty Python Penis Song (the Not Noel Coward Song), ( lyrics here: )

...set to clips of Doctor Manhattan from The Watchmen. ( Picture under cut for the uninitiated and for purposes of work-safety.. )

Bit of a no-brainer, isn't it?

And I'll write any Watchmen porn you want, as long as it's not noncon, incest or mpreg.

Because that is how much this video would entertain and delight me.

Make it. Make it fun. Make it clever. And ye shall have the smut rained down upon you.

*puppy dog eyes*

Oh, well, mlyn, you're just going to have to live with your Kirill/Damian being fashionably late. Hopefully worth the wait.

Title: The Lake District – Adrenaline Withdrawal
Author: heartofslash
Fandom: Ummmm… it's kind of pre-Bourne Supremacy, kind of original, with links to D-Tech, hence Black Hawk Down, but with no one from Black Hawk Down in it. Hence, the "original"ish classification.
Pairing: Damian/Kirill
Rating: R
Disclaimer: Made up, and shamelessly so.
Follows: Aftermath and Off the Clock. Damian has brought Kirill to a cottage in the Lake District, because that's the last place anyone would ever think to look for guys like this.
Dedication: For mlyn, the most patientest perv ever. And cute too!

It was not easy.

But then, nothing was ever easy where Kirill was involved.
