painless_j	9:41p	HikaGo recs. Vol. 2: Arboretum and Aja A Resolution of Territory, by Arboretum (has a sequel, A Pretty Good Year, but it's unavailable ATM) # Akira/Hikaru, NC-17, ~10K words. Brilliant all the way through and very amusing. While being highly advanced in Go and renown in the official Go world, Hikaru finds that he's very much behind in the areas of life that interest 'normal' teenagers the most. Namely, sex. Hikaru's Life-Changing Discoveries and Steps on the Way are accompanied with lots and lots of Go and relationship counselling from the unwilling Waya. That's the kind of fic that gives you real pleasure while you're reading and puts a happy smile on your face when you remember it. Awesome! Quote: They fight so loudly all the time eventually three different guests from three different countries all suggest imposing a restraining order on Hikaru. "No way," Hikaru and Touya say at the same time. Well, Hikaru says, "No way," and Touya stiffens up and says, "Absolutely not." Same thing, whatever. Waterloo, by Aja (bookshop) # Akira/Hikaru, PG-13, 8000 words. This story shows us a very interesting situation: Touya Jr. is on the brink of a victory which would better (much better) be a loss. One victory he's not ready for. Think of him and you'll know which victory it is. The way it's shown to us is, while not unheard of, interesting. Aja reveals necessary details one by one so that we construct the whole picture from them gradually. It's not a puzzle though, nor is it an annoying formal trick. Instead, it lets us connect to the characters and their emotions slowly and the more inevitably the more we learn. Wonderful piece, masterfully written and very intense. It will make you love the pairing and Go even more: how they work, what things mean between them, what the game is for them, what secrets they harbour and how those affect them, everything. Wonderful! ( And dragons ) (Comment on this)

painless_j	3:10a	HP rec: Yearning, by Mandy (Snape/Harry, NC-17, EWE) Yearning, by Mandy (geneticallydead) # Snape/Harry (Harry/Ginny mentioned), NC-17, novella, EWE. Summary: Harry buries Snape at Godric's Hollow. As he was in life, so he would be in death. Alone. But not forgotten. When I saw this fic posted in the snape_potter comm, I immediately spammed my friends with squeeful emails. One would think that I should have read the fic first, right? But whether it was going to be wonderful or a disappointment, it was an event anyway because this is the Mandy who wrote Möbius 2.5 years ago, her first and only posted HP fic until now and the story that is still among my most favourite HP fics of any pairing, the riveting, highly original one (what? haven't read it? run, don't walk!). So was Yearning a disappointment? Not at all! I'd even say "Of course not" but that would lead me along the twisted path of babbling about writing in general which I'm unwilling to do at the moment. To avoid spoilers, let me put it like this: don't let the summary frighten you off. This is by no means a fluffy fic but it's not a tearjerker. It's serious and gritty or unpleasant sometimes -- don't forget who are the main characters here. Which main characters are written really, really wonderfully here. But what I like even more in this story is that it's full of small things that stick to your memory and that make you see very vivid images. To name a few: how Hermione nearly but not quite looks down to check if she leaks milk; how flakes of dead skin are suspended in the air after said skin is dried off with a towel; what grass under fingers feels like, etc. Lots and lots of them. Really wonderful story! Go read if you missed it! (Comment on this)

painless_j	3:39a	OMG this is bloody perfect!!! Gmail now offers you to pick a skin, and I chose the one with foxes, Tea House. Because, you know, foxes :) I couldn't resist. It changes depending on the time of the day. The fox character in the bottom left corner does various things. And OMFG, this is so, so perfect in the light of my new manga/anime love! Look! ( In the night, there are fox ghosts there that play Go! ) Aww, too cute for words. ( And dragons of course ) (Comment on this)
painless_j	2:28a	HikaGo recs. Vol. 1: Pru and Mirabella New fandom, new fandom, yay! I don't know how long I will spend reading HikaGo fiction or anything but I'm going to dip my toes in it, most definitely. Because I'm not ready to say goodbye to these characters. Oh no, not ready at all! Expect a squeeful rec of Hikaru No Go manga and anime from me soon when I make the jumble of thoughts, emotions, and impressions in my head into some sort of a coherent whole. For now though, my first HikaGo recs. I've read only four fics so far and liked them all. What amazed me was that they had very different characterisation of the same characters, but all of them were absolutely believable. I loved it! The Relative Value of Things series, by rageprufrock # Ogata/Shindou, some Touya/Shindou, NC-17, series of short fics. It so happened that the first ever HikaGo fic I read was Ogata/Shindo. Not my first pairing of choice but I certainly don't object, and this is why I love Pru's writing. A writer like her can turn you to any pairing, tested and proved by pj. Because I loved Remus/Sirius fics of hers in HP fandom and I don't even like Remus/Sirius. The same happened here. The story grabs you, makes you see with Ogata's eyes (3d person), and just try not to like him -- or him paired with Shindou! Scorchingly hot, too. You feel the air charged with desires, covet glances sliding past you from one incredibly intense guy to another, rivalry, jealousy, and victories. Absolutely wonderful! Inertia, by rageprufrock # Touya/Shindou, Touya/OFC, NC-17, oneshot. Summary: Touya has always been a quiet, mature child. Touya Akira is married and has a baby. Can you imagine it? How do you see it? Myself, I now can see it only like in this fic! It's perfect. Yes, yes, I believe that this is exactly what Touya's adult life must look like. 'Cos come on, does he even know anything about life except Go? Is he even aware of anything besides Go, well, and Shindou. Or is it Shindou and Go? Anyway, the story is absolutely wonderful. Angsty and funny in turn, and moving. And the writing is better than Hikaru's Go <-- forgive me, I couldn't resist my first Go pun :) Issues, by Mirabella (or here, locked) # Shindou/Touya, PG-13, short. Summary: Five things about Shindou, Touya, and sex. By request. This is, IMO, what good writing is about. I don't like "five things" kind of stories but couldn't help liking this one. Hikaru is having a rather belated sexual identity crisis. The story, or five scenes more precisely, is/are built around it. Amusing, moving, spot-on in characterisation and the details chosen to speak instead of large blocks of text, and pushing all the right buttons. I can only call storytelling like this elegant. Quote: It actually takes Shindou a long time to realize that he has Issues. He's got Go and manga and the occasional pick-up basketball game and he jerks off in a sort of desultory way, and it takes Akari yelling at him to get him to realize that when you're eighteen years old, have a successful career, and live on your own, you're really a long way past the point in your life where you should be convinced that girls have cooties. The Art of New Games, by Mirabella # Touya/Shindou, PG-13, short. Summary: Touya really doesn't think his clothes are all that bad. Shindou and photographers disagree. Touya wouldn't really care, except that there are advantages to humoring Shindou once in a while. The story addresses Touya's fashion sense (lavender suit OMGDEAD). Amusing and so charged with teenage hormones (and awkwardness) that I was really surprised to recall after reading it that it hadn't been rated NC-17. Wonderful! Quote: "There is nothing wrong with that suit," Akira says between his teeth. Shindou gives him a Look and rummages in his backpack. "Touya, there are so many things wrong with that suit that finding them all should unlock a secret level. When I get the Honinbou title I'm going to burn it as a present to myself." Ah, now to find and read some fabulous Sai/Hikaru! And Isumi/Hai Yang or Isumi/Shindou. Thank you all for the recs, guys! (2 Comments |Comment on this)

painless_j	1:33p	HP and PSOH rec: And Then It Bit Him, by who_la_hoop (Snape/Count D) And Then It Bit Him, by who_la_hoop # Snape/Count D, PG-13, ~10K words. HP/PSoH crossover. Warnings: Epilogue-compliant for HP, but with live!Snape; contains a massive spoiler for PSoH Volume 10. Summary: When Snape's first Animagus transformation doesn't go entirely as expected, he finds himself plagued by a mysterious being, who – in the company of a pet man-eating goat thing – proceeds to thoroughly turn his life upside down. A/N: painless_j's prompt asked for Snape's first Animagus transformation, and Snape and Count D discovering unexpected magical worlds and clashing personalities with gusto. I'm one happy fan now 'cos not only has my prompt from way back been picked but the story who_la_hoop made out of it is absolutely delightful! Severus in it is a bit less paranoid than how I see him but I think it's stylistic or genre requirement rather than characterisation issue. Which style is humorous: maybe it won't make you guffaw but it's hard not to smile or even chuckle. I want to quote it here almost line by line, especially dialogues. Like here: He was shorter than Severus by some inches, and when he looked up into Severus' face, Severus noticed that his eyes were different colours – neither of them natural looking in the slightest. "What are you?" Severus asked, tensing. "I am known as Count D," the man said, a half-smile on his lips. "What are you?" Severus felt marginally more certain that he was talking to a man. He also felt marginally more irritated. What sort of a way was that to answer a question? "I am Professor Snape," he said, scowling down at the enigma in front of him. Legilimens he thought, focusing hard. For a moment he was pulled into a dazzling, incomprehensible slide-show of images – before a sharp, sudden pain on his cheek shoved him back out. He blinked, raising a hand to his face. He was bleeding. "My apologies," Count D said. Severus thought he didn't look very sorry. "Is it not normal to knock before entering?" Severus frowned at him. A Muggle would not have been able to detect Legilimency. He felt strongly though that this Count, or whatever he was, was no wizard. "You didn't answer my question," he said, finally. "What are you?" Count D licked delicately at one finger. Severus shuddered when he realised he was licking a drop of blood – Severus' own blood – from it. "I own a pet shop," he said. "What are you?" Severus reached for his wand again. "Tired of this," he said. "Oblivi—" Wonderful reading! If you are into PSOH at all, head there! (4 Comments |Comment on this)
