Have to actually start work in ten minutes, but I couldn't resist sharing Tom Hiddleston's awesome dance moves, courtesy of bethbethbeth.



I swear to God, this man owns my heart now. Seriously, Hiddles. Stop being so damn cute. D: And tall. And lanky. And beardy.

GOD. That smile.

I think I need a Hiddleston icon.

Okay, so it's totally noeon's fault, but I now have a fannish Facebook which lets me hide from my RL family and friends the number of times I play Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe on Spotify. (Shut up. I like that song.) Also Noe may have convinced me with the fact that I could share fannish playlists through my Spotify account which now has to be linked to a Facebook account, damn you Spotify.

So. Yeah. I'm here under Femm Lokisdottir, because a) fuck you, Facebook, that could be a real name *looks shifty* and b) evidently Facebook will take Femm as a first name but not Femme. Enh. Anyway, feel free to friend if you want to follow my obsession with cheesy pop. (I can't help myself. It's summer.) I have no idea what I'll use it for yet outside of Spotify playlists.

In other news, someone really, really needs to stop me from writing fic in which Loki returns to earth and, since Daddy has cut him off from his account at Asgardian First InterRealm, he has to financially support his supervillain habit by working some crappy job a la Office Space and living in a tiny studio in Queens because, dude, rents are crazy in NYC, and to conserve his magic for annoying the crap out of the Avengers--in particular his brother and Tony (whose metaphorical pigtails he can't seem to stop himself from pulling because hello, have you seen how hot Stark is)--he has to take the bus and subway to work which annoys him immensely because, well, have you ever been in the subway or on a bus in NYC during the summer heat, my God, the stench of humanity. (You can't tell me that wouldn't offend Loki's sensibilities because really, hello, there's nothing worse than the whiff of heated urine where somebody's peed in the corner when they were drunk, not to mention the crush of sweaty bodies....ugh. Public transit in the summer sucks. D: I'm looking at you Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and your stupid bus that didn't have AC this afternoon.)

Anyway. I do not need to write that fic. REALLY. I don't. Unh unh. *eyes that bunny warily* I particularly don't need to give him a band of nerdy sidekicks who just want to sit around and read comic books and drink beer and be all snarky about how Loki sucks as a supervillain and really, who wants to wear that much leather in the summer, Jesus Christ, no wonder you're such a cranky shit, Laufeyson. Put on a fucking t-shirt, sit in front of the goddamn window AC, and open a cold one, for fuck's sake, and OH MY GOD, did you just chill that beer with your bare hand?

...

BAD BUNNY. NO BISCUIT.

ETA: Evidently I am incapable of wanting to write anything but crack in this fandom. Where the hell did my angst!whore tendencies go? *is confounded* LOKI, GIVE THEM BACK, DAMMIT.

So reveals are up for hp_beholder which means I can give chazpure HUGE hugs and thanks for my awesome Eileen/Tobias gift, The Life She Chose , which still makes me squee wildly every time I look at it. (If you haven't seen it yet, you should. It's fic and art and I adore it so, so, SO much.)

And I can also admit that I wrote Snape/Goyle. Oh, yeah, baby. You read that right. Snape/Goyle. And in the process discovered that I really, really, really like writing inside Goyle's head. Which should probably frighten me. Ah well. Anyway. Here it is, with links to AO3 and my fic journal if you'd rather read it on either of those platforms.

Title: The Oddity of Kisses
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Snape/Goyle, background Harry/Draco
Word Count: ~6,300
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View):  *post-war, EWE, frottage*.
Summary: Sometimes when Greg's flustered his mind doesn't work quite properly, and then things happen. Like kissing Snape.
Author's/Artist's Notes: Written for kinky_kneazle in the 2012 hp_beholder fest. Huge thanks to noeon for betaing and to bethbethbeth for her very gracious modly patience. kinky_kneazle, thank you so much for giving me a chance to write a pairing I've always wanted to try my hand at. \0/

So, way back in March, noeon asked me to make her a Harry/Draco vid for Jack White's song Love Interruption. I started, then got co-opted by schoolwork, but this weekend I finally finished it and uploaded to YouTube. You can watch it below, or download a HD version suitable for Quicktime or one formatted for iTunes.

Song: Love Interruption by Jack White
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Disclaimer: Blah, blah, blah, don't own, etc. :)
Notes: Clips from Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows 1 and 2. *hearts Noe for the push to finish this*

1) Today there's a post-graduation catered picnic lunch provided by uni administration for all graduates and staff. New bosses nabbed me a free ticket for it. \0/ Cardnial rule of being a grad student: NEVER REFUSE FREE FOOD.

2) Said lunch also came with schwag: I now have a super-nice insulated lunch bag branded with uni's name. SWEET. That'll come in handy the next two years. I've been using Stop-and-Shop plastic bags up until now.

3) One of our reference librarians showed up at my desk this morning to show my boss and me an an early eighteenth century book on the Old Testament he'd found in our archives that had a bookplate in it that indicated it originally belonged to William Penn. YES. THAT William Penn. You guys, I got to touch William Penn's book. *FLAILS* That is just really super-cool.Best. Summer. Job. Ever.

4) I am wearing my favorite Avengers t-shirt, courtesy of Gap, and I came in to work 45 minutes early and just sat in one of the student lounges and wrote almost 1,000 words of fic.

So far, today is AWESOME. And starting tomorrow I have a four-day weekend. \0/ God bless you, Memorial Day.

And on that note, back off to finish up this afternoon's work. :D

So I'm watching Iron Man 2 for the first time ever on Netflix as fic research (as one does), and I just have to say....

OH TONY STARK, YOU ADORABLY SNARKY BASTARD, I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOUUUUUUUUU. I DO. I DO. I DO.

*shoves Iron Man action figure up against Loki action figure and makes snarky kissy-kissy sounds*

Back from my first day at the library job. I'm in acquisitions, so seriously, I spend all my time cataloguing book info into a database. It's like HEAVEN. *happy sigh* Also, they don't care if I listen to music while I work, so I can rock out with my Loki playlist on my iPod. \0/

I am writing away, too, and you guys, seriously, I'm rediscovering how much fun it is to write again. It's been like pulling teeth for me for months and more of Self-STFU-you-have-to-write-this and not Self-you-can't-stop-yourself-from-writing-this-because-it's-exploding-out-of-you, and now I have this wave of fannish glee overtaking me and I just love writing All The Things, All The Fandoms.

Here, have a snippet of one of my current WIPs. Avengers Tony/Loki, since all my HP fics are either for fests or being cowritten.

( Four paragraphs of unbeta'd ridiculousity )


WRITING IS SO MUCH FUN AGAIN OH MY GOD. This blissful feeling, oh how I have missed you this year. *hugs my prodigal Muse so fucking hard and tries not to sob in relief*

Now I have to make a sandwich for lunch and go back to writing. \0/ \0/ \0/ \0/

HAVE I MENTIONED WRITING IS AWESOME?

*does the happy, happy dance of unblocked creativity*

Femme: *scrolling down my Tumblr dashboard* So according to Tumblr, there's some vague, unsubstantiated rumor floating around that Tom Hiddleston may or may not possibly be bisexual which, for some inexplicable reason, appears to be causing some sort of wank somewhere in Crazyville among people whose business it most definitely is not?

Noeon: *shrug* He doesn't seem gay, and he doesn't seem not-gay.

Femme: *shrug* Yeah.

*a beat*

Femme: I mean, for God's sake...

Together, in unison: He went to Eton.

In other news, reading Loki/Tony is giving me ALL THE FEELS, you guyssssssssssssss. So here, have an AWESOME Loki/Tony vid that makes me all shivery and sniffly inside.

( Cut for potentially spoilery footage )

GOD, IT HURTS SO GOOD.

*draws more silver gel pen sparklyhearts around them because evidently they turn me into a starry-eyed twelve-year-old*

Went to church this morning. Was responsible for leading the Prayers of the People during the liturgy. During one point of the prayers, I read the first names of people who've been written down in the book of thanksgiving and concerns back in the back of the church prior to service. It took ALL my restraint not to keep going when I reached the end of the list and add "Clint. Natasha. Bruce. Steve. Tony. Loki. Thor."

The only thing that stopped me was that I was pretty sure I couldn't explain away the names Loki and Thor. Dammit.

Also, I may have turned to Noe during one of the hymns in which we were singing about the King of kings and Lord of lords and murmured, "I really think Loki would appreciate this being sung to him." In response, she added Asgard into the kingdom of heaven on the next verse.

WE ARE GOING TO HELL NOW.

Ah well. As long as there's Tony/Loki fic down there....

Friday was the eighth anniversary of my dad's death, which made me kind of introverted this weekend. So I've been driving around Boston with noeon listening to the final days of our favorite independent/alternative radio station, WFNX, which has now been sold to Clear Channel, fucking bastards, then coming home and reading/writing fic--both H/D and Loki/Tony. It's been nice.

And I found the following gif on Tumblr, made by agentfirstname which makes me LOL constantly now, because it's pretty much the reason I ship Loki and Tony together.

( Cut for spoilery images )

Oh, Tony, bb. Yes. You and Loki? Pretty much the same. *draws sparklyhearts of lurve in silver gel pen around you both*

God help me. I have a serious OTP crush.

Went to the oncologist. Got the all clear for now. It's really weird though...every time I go to Dana-Farber for an appointment, it's like I enter this entirely different world where I take on this identity of cancer patient, and even though I'm not in active treatment, there's still this odd sense of community there where this disease defines you in a way.

I guess some of it comes because you're ID'd in so many different ways there: you have a hospital bracelet and a locator you wear the entire time, and you use the blue credit-card-type ID card that they give you on your first visit with your name/birthday/medical record number to sign in for parking and to check in on your oncologist's floor. So from the moment you get there, you're in this separate world where you're clearly marked as a cancer patient. Every time I go it's a curious, almost otherworldly experience.

Anyway, I don't have to go back until the end of August unless a laundry list of symptoms pops back up. Which means stupid-cancer's sorted for another three months, woot woot. \0/ \0/ \0/

So, of course, post-appointment, Noe and I did the still-no-recurrence dance o' joy, AKA Go Out And Buy All The Things. Which means I now own two Avengers t-shirts and Loki, Tony and Thor figurines. Er. And I may have bought Thor and Iron Man comics. *looks shifty* You guys, nobody told me comic books were actually awesome, dammit. My budget is so fucked.

Also, Noe is awesome because she distracted me through my appointment by helping me come up with crazy-awesome-hysterical Loki/Tony plots, and yeah, er, we may have come up with a way for me to write Loki/Tony-with-deaged-Steve fic. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. I am so starting it tonight.

You guys, I am so filled with fandom love I might just explode in a sparkling-confetti burst of fangirl squee. *FLAILS*

So evidently being on summer vacation + delving into a new fandom means that I post fifty times a day.... /0\

*cue Loki squee* I mean, WHAT IS THIS YOU GUYYYYYS I CAN'T EVEN. Swear to God, if I still had ovaries, they'd be exploding over this picture:



Seriously. Someone really needs to write me Loki/Tony fic with de-aged Steve based on this picture. *makes puppy dog eyes* I WILL BEG IF I HAVE TO.

Tom Hiddleston, I lurrrrve you. I do. And the Cheezburger Avenger tag is AWE-some.

Also, for any HP fen who are like OMG shut up about this movie already, I feel your pain. D: And in apology I come bearing an AWESOME rec from hp_beholder. My gift fic posted today, and it's absolutely adorable Eileen/Tobias art with baby!Severus. And there's a beautiful drabble posted with it. So yes, those of you who have any interest in the Snape family should definitely go look at it right away and tell the author/artist how amazing this work is. \0/ \0/

In toe news--once the blue started seeping past my toe and into my skin today, noeon and I decided something really needed to be done. So, armed with YouTube videos explaining how to trepan a subungual hematoma, a bottle of iodine, an armful of paper towels and a paperclip, Noe operated on me. Greater love hath no friend than (while you sit there with your eyes squeezed shut, trying not to whimper) she grimly burns through your toenail with a OMG!HEATED paperclip to let the blood drain. Or spurt, rather. GAH. EW. UGH.

Still...it feels SO much better. Even if it still hurts like fuck. Which pretty much tells you how much pain I've been in. /0\

Although I'm really, actually going to miss the Jötun blue.

In other news, I just discovered I have an oncologist's appointment tomorrow morning that I totally forgot about. Meh, quarterly visits. Ah well. I'll just load up a bunch of Loki/Tony on the iPad to read while I'm waiting to get poked and prodded and with any luck told that I remain non-cancerous. I might even get them to look at my toe while I'm there.

Speaking of Loki/Tony, I absolutely do not have 16 Chrome tabs of Loki/Tony prompts from the avengerkink meme open in my browser for possible later writing. Of course not.

*looks shifty, then goes back to writing Harry/Draco*

You guys? So my poor smushed big toe? My entire toenail now looks like I painted it Jötun blue. I kid you not. I am turning this color:



To say it is painful is an understatement. Noe and I are taking bets on how long it takes my toenail to fall off. D:

In Ascendio news--I know some of you are planning to buy a one-day pass. If you haven't done so, yet, there's a Google offer up for half-price on one-day passes for the con. You can find it here, but don't delay--they're only available for another day or so. So if you were thinking about going but can't pay the full registration price, this might be an option for you.

Also, for people looking for cheap accommodation, the Slash Suite has a few couches we're offering up for people to sleep on for a very nominal amount. If you're interested, PM me and we can talk details.

Oh, and we've concentrated the bulk of the slash programming on Saturday. Just so everyone's on the same page. :D

How not to start your day: dropping a full, unopened 2-liter of Coke Zero on your big toe. I've had my foot propped up under a bag of frozen peas for the past forty minutes and it STILL hurts. :(

And my toenail's going a lovely shade of purple. Woe.

ANYWAY.

I have been reading Loki fic, and I have some OTP Thoughts along with recs. So, in no particular order:

( Thor/Loki )

---

( Darcy/Loki )

---

( Loki/Steve )

---

( Loki/Tony )

Loki/Tom Hiddleston Friending Meme


Also, I stayed up until 3 a.m. last night reading fanfic. GOD, I LOVE SUMMER VACATION.

ETA: And for the HP side...you guys, I am totally writing for this fest this summer and I KNOW there are some of you on my flist who want to claim a prompt or two. You've got THREE DAYS left and there are some AWESOME ones over there. Go! Look! Claim! Write me some Snaco, please, please, PLEASE?

Goddammit, Loki, you bastard.

*hits replay again*

*chokes back a sob*

*gives in to new OTP*

Also, you guys....I bought a comic book for the first time in my life today because of this fandom. I DON'T EVEN KNOW. I just. LOKI, you know? D: D: D:

LOKI. LOKI. MY POOR MISUNDERSTOOD WOOBIE WITH DADDY ISSUES. COME TO MAMA. I WILL SNUGGLE YOU AND MAKE IT ALL BETTER.

*happy sigh*

(Or as noeon says, "Oh, God, you really do have a type, don't you?" YES. YES I DO. It seems broken, villainy/morally ambiguous individuals with dysfunctional parental and/or sibling relationships are like candy for me. *flails* Screw the clean-cut, well-muscled good guys. Give me the pasty fuck-ups in need of redemption/a good smack upside the head, please. Also? MAGIC.)

And dude. I totally get Thor/Loki now. Holy freaking cow. Halfway through the fight scene, noeon looked at me and said "So this is the part where Loki kicks his ass for cheating on him with some Earth chick?" My response: OH HELLS YES, LOKI, THROW THAT BASTARD DOWN ON BIFROST AND SHOW HIM WHO KISSES BETTER, YOU OR NATALIE PORTMAN. Noe: Like that helmet isn't a giant fucking metaphor. Me: Mmmm. Metaphors.

So, yeah. Thor/Loki. Bring it on, baby. (Although not-so-secretly, I also ship Darcy/Loki and Tony/Loki because LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL, the snark. To be honest, I ship Loki/everything that moves because dude. Loki. Just saying.)

Also, I am on Tumblr here. I desperately need more Avengers and Loki content on my dashboard. Anyone have any recs for Tumblrs to follow?

TAKE THAT, ACADEMIA.

Just turned in my last paper of the 2011-12 school year which was only supposed to be 20 pages but of course ended up 28 because we all know how much of the soul of brevity I am, don't we? Enh. It's done. I care not any longer. Let the grades fall as they may. Er. As long as they fall on the higher-end portion of the bell curve so my GPA doesn't suck eggs.

In other news, I have next week off before my summer job starts. I intend to use it to write the hell out of some HP fics I have to finish. And sleep. Lots of sleep. (Note to self, a full week of getting roughly 4 hours of sleep a night while frantically writing/studying/researching? NOT SO GOOD. I am too damn old for that kind of shit there. I'm just saying.)

SO. I'm going to go take a nap now. A long nap. In a pile of kittens. And when we all wake up, Noe will be home and this evening will be spent watching Thor and reading Loki fic. (This is basically how I plan on spending the whole weekend: SLEEP LOKI LOKI LOKI LOKI SLEEP SLEEP LOKI LOKI catch-up-on-other-things LOKI LOKI LOKI LOKI SLEEP.)

LOKI.

Life's not bad...

*yawns widely*

OMG, sweet, wonderful bed, I love yooooooouuuuuuu.

I GOT THE LIBRARY JOB. \0/ \0/ \0/ Summer money sorted, I hope, knock wood. Although, still on a super-tight budget. Woe. Hilariously, I also got called earlier this afternoon for an interview with a real estate company. (Less money, less convenient, pain in the ass with a summer school schedule.) I set it up because I hadn't heard back yet, but I guess now I'll need to call them tomorrow and cancel.

Finals schedule for the rest of this week:

Tuesday

Hebrew Bible exam - can nail the dates/names/events/Scripture ID. Absolutely have to spend the rest of the evening trying to cram 39 pages of notes for 9 essay/short answer questions into my head. Have to be ready by 9:15 tomorrow morning. NO SLEEP TONIGHT, WOOT.

Hebrew Bible paper - five pages on a feminist interpretation of Vashti and Esther? Done. \0/

Wednesday

Theory paper - 12 pages out of 15 written. Down to the last point + conclusion. Due by 5 p.m. Will be writing my ass off tomorrow evening. Also have to finish writing my last response paper for this class b/c I have just not had a chance to do it in the past two weeks. Whoops.

Friday

Faith paper - 0 pages out of 20 written. Due by 5 p.m. *breathes into a paper bag*

Saturday

Fucking sleep and read ALL THE LOKI FIC all day. And maybe watching Thor and talking Noe into going to see the Avengers again. *looks shifty*

So. Yeah. Just a heads up that if you email/PM me this week...I will probably completely miss it. /0\ On a SCORE note...got my Magical Texts paper back with an A. That's one grade sorted. \0/

And on that note, back to cramming the entire structure of the book of Psalms into my brain. *cries*
