Subtitle: in which Jeremy Renner proves he can take any glop of cheez whiz and,  with the judicious use of black leather and attitude, turn it into gourmet fondue.

Really? You're reading this blog and need more than that? OK. I agree with whichever critic said the R rated language was unnecessary. Oh, and Pagans' knickers are justifiably twisted over this. Still....

Moving In (To Every Single Aspect of Danny's Life, Including the Boring Bits Like Dry-Cleaning) by westgirl
Hawaii Five-0
Male/Male slash, Teen and Up rating
Summary: It felt wrong for Steve to sound unsure of his place in Danny’s life. His place in Danny’s life was at Danny’s side, driving him slowly insane. Steve should feel secure about that.

FYI: I stopped to recommend this at the point when Chin said "We're going to get lunch," and Kono added "On the mainland," as much because it was funny as that I needed to get my breathing under control and make the wheezing stop.

Pimpin' crack, yo. I was actually looking for an epic AU that paired Steve McGarrett and John Sheppard, and found this series, "Feelings Are Boring," in a completely different universe (Trek 2009) and genre, i.e., crack. There are only two stories so far  totaling about  23k words and I am again recommending a story (the second, with the slash in it) before finishing. (Tries to be if not ashamed, at least a little chagrined. Fails.)  I mention that I haven't finished yet because the discrepancy between the movie (absent mom, jackass stepfather,) and this story may be explained, but then again, why? It's crack, pretty hot crack and has already involved recasting Kirk's mom as a liberating foul-mouthed engineer who calls Pike "command bitch" and a species of intelligent cats with a warrior bonding ritual.

First story: One Foot in Front of the Other by lazulisong.
Summary: Winona is called to fix the cock-up of the Yorktown's engines. She uses one of the science-bitches to help her do it
Gen,  1390 words.

Favorite quotes, cut for the spoiler sensitive )

Second Story: Feelings Are Boring, lazulisong
Summary: This is not exactly what Jim thought the 'exploring strange new worlds and exotic civilizations' was about. Also, Vulcans are kind of crazy. Jim and Spock go through a alien ritual, which, yes, changes everything -- he's hoping for the better. Spock just wants to get through this with his sanity, if not his dignity, mostly intact.
Rated as Gen, M/M. (I'd call it full contact or pants-on gen and am not quite 1/2 way through) 22k words. Oh, and illustrated, FTW.

Favorite quotes, again behind the I'm!Not!Spoiling!Cut )

[livejournal.com profile] nialla42 with the phrase "I'd listen to (insert actor with fascinating accent here) read the phone book." No clue where she got it from, but it's one of my favorite fangirlism now as well as the reason my current listen is making me feel very, very dirty.

Niall Ferguson is a Scot. With an educated Brit accent that...slips...occasionally, making little shivers go up and down my otherwise-matronly spine. Listen to him here and know my shame. (hangs head)

(by the way? the book is about why it isn't Eurocentrism to say the West has taken over the world, but a statement of fact. He explained money pretty well in a different book, so I'm cutting some slack for at least another chapter.)

I have slight guilt for venting my spleen all over my hapless flist about an episode I was mostly enjoying up to A Certain Point. To make up in some small part, I offer a link to [livejournal.com profile] thegrrrl2002, who provided pictorial reminders of everything squee-able in the ep:

Go. Look. Squee. :)
