• Sat, 00:40: So. Iron Man 3 is a Chinese co-production with some Chinese actors, but Ben Kingsley playing Mandarin so as to not "harm the Chinese image"?
• Sat, 00:40: I really don't see how casting Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin helps make it less insulting to have the Mandarin NOT played by a Chinese actor.
• Sat, 00:41: Unless the twist is that Ben Kingsley is not really Mandarin and that Mandarin is actually Andy Lau's character. I could live with that.

DEAD[ish] by Naomi Kramer
My rating: ★★★★★

Short but fun and engaging, I enjoyed seeing the story through the eyes of the different characters and finding out exactly what had happened to Linda. Maybe it could have been fleshed out a bit more so we could see a bit more of what Mike was and had been up to, but it’s definitely made me want to read more of the series.

Flowers!

1. What is your favourite flower?
   Poppies. And lilies, but they tend to make me sneeze.
2. Do you buy or send other people flowers for special occasions?
   Yes, usually Mum.
3. Have you ever picked flowers from your own garden (or wild flowers, if you don’t have a garden) to give to someone else?
   Not for a long time, but I did pick some daffs from the garden once when I lived at the parents’ place.
4. If flowers could talk (think Alice In Wonderland), which flower would you most like to converse with?
   Triffids! From a safe distance, of course.
5. Have you ever used edible flowers in cooking, or eaten one?
   I’ve had lavender chocolate, and didn’t really like it, but I’d like to try lavender and honey ice cream, and I think you can eat some kinds of pansy in salads?

Sillytimes! There is such a thing as domestic avengers on Tumblr, which is...um...domestic Avengers. Tony/Steve with Peter Parker as their son, Clint/Bruce, stuff like that. It is adorable and awesome and I highly recommend it.

This wallpaper is based on this gifset specifically. I can't recommend hemsworthss enough, just in general. :)

Um. Some of these are pretty old, I think, because of my thing about having 10 fics to rec. *hands* Whee!

X-Men

another gorgeous thing that should not have happened by postcardmystery and gyzym. Zombie AU, still-powered, Charles/Erik and Logan/Scott. It's...at first I wasn't sure I was going to like the style, but then I got sucked in. It's haunting.

Homestuck

The Life of the World to Come by emilyenrose. Feferi/Sollux and The Condesce/ψiioniic. Juxtaposition between their relationships.

A Sailorman's Hymn by VastDerp. Signless/Psiioniic. Signless finds Psiioniic long after they've both died.

PROMSTUCK by shelby, urbanAnchorite, and Cephied_Variable. Johnkat with a little Kanaya/Rose and others. At the prom. Completely adorable plus art!

Ashes by OtherCat. Non-Sgrub AU where the twelve have led a successful rebellion, killed the Condesce...and find her Helmsman.

Avengers

The Five Times Clint Barton Proposed to Natasha Romanov (And The One Time She Said Yes) by eiluned. I love this Clint. Love-love.

Let Go by eiluned. Clint/Natasha. BDSM, consensual.

The Only John Wayne Left In This Town by gyzym. Clint/Darcy. Clint loves his banjo. No, he really does, and this is really good.

Stillness of the Mind by tju_tju_tju_tju. Tony/Bruce. Tony is all about science...and boning Bruce.

Original Work

Margot's Room Not fic, but a comic, and brilliantly done.

ETA: I forgot to mention, the comic works like this: you choose things in the picture to click on, based on the text. So "First he gave me flowers," means you start with the dried flowers on the wall, etc.
