1) [Podfic] Jess & Tanya by readbyanalise010, text written by anna_unfolding - 2014 NHL commercial - Jess/Tanya (original characters) - 7 min
Summary (mine):Twitter!fic: hockey rivalries.

I loved this a ton. I remembered loving the story when it was being told over twitter, but resigned myself to never seeing it again. This made it extra exciting to see the podfic when it was posted, not to mention that it was read by readbyanalise010. The performance is subtle and nuanced, and for such a short podfic, it manages to capture the wistful atmosphere really well. I particularly loved how the snide little rivalry comments were performed, always a bit mean, but never malicious. As I know well, sport rivalries amongst friends and family have to walk a fine line. I can be mean to my brother's football team ONLY when they are playing my team, that is a definite rule. This podfic is very short and it is well worth watching the advert first (linked above), but it is not necessary.

2) [Podfic] A Congenial Task by Sunquistadora, text written by girlmarauders - Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Amy Santiago/Rosa Diaz - 27 min
Summary: Amy & Rosa participate in the oldest casefic cliché of the century by having to pretend to be dating in order to infiltrate a gay bar.

Brooklyn nine-nine is one of my new favourite shows and I want ALL the Rosa/Amy in the land. This is SO amazing! It's a delightfully written story, and the performance continually made me smile and laugh. Sunquistadora does such a brilliant job with Amy's inner monologue, my favourite line is probably: 'Maybe Amy should take a seminar on voice projection', it had perfect comic timing and was so good I nearly spat out my tea in laughter.


3) [Art] Rosa & Amy by Kisariiem - Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Rosa/Amy

This art work, made for the Rare Pair Fest is awesome! There are two pieces, one is glossy and sharp, and the other is cute and sweet. Both are super adorable.

4) [Art] Cello by lynndyre - Young Avengers - Kate Bishop/America Chavez
Summary: Kate plays for America.

A beautiful piece and you can really see the affection between the two characters. America is bare foot, and Kate is wearing stripy socks and that detail just make them look so comfortable with each other.

5) [Fic] somewhere, someone must know the ending by maleficently - Once Upon a Time - Regina Mills/Emma Swan
Summary: “I’m here because... I think my kid is having some kind of delusional breakdown because he can’t cope with the fact that ... Mayor Mills and I split up.”

Dr. Hopper pushes his glasses up his nose in a measured movement. “What makes you think that?”

“Well, among other things, he thinks his mother is about to cut Mary Margaret Blanchard’s heart out of her chest, before pulverizing it and sending her into a coma that only her true love can rescue her from.”

[AU; here, 'fairy tale land' is merely a product of Henry's imagination during a difficult time.]

Amazing! I saw this highly reced on twitter, and decided to give it a go and OMG SO MANY FEELINGS! The story begins with the two broken up due to infidelity, which is usually a huge no go for me, but it's handled SO WELL, the forgiveness and slow build towards trust is beautiful.

1) [Podfic] The Dancing and Hiking series: 1 | 2 | 3 - exmanhater, written by clio_jlh - Teen Wolf - Lydia Martin/Erica Reyes
Summary (for the first podfic): Lydia thinks maybe there's more to this thing with Erica than just sex, so she tries to make that happen. Whether she's successful is up for debate.

Brilliant! This is a cute series, I love characters figuring out that they having feelings :D exmanhater's voices are just so picture perfect I practically swooned. Lydia's tone while she's figuring things out is super, she's uncomfortable and a bit confused and doesn't want it to show. exmanhater is always excellent, but I especially love her Lydia <3

2) [Podfic] Up in the air read by exmanhater, written by cherie_morte - Supernatural RPF - Genevieve Cortese/Adrianne Palicki - 58min
Summary: Genevieve is an aspiring actress working dead-end jobs to pay the bills until she gets her big break. Her life isn't exactly glamorous just yet; in fact, she spends most of her time waitressing at a chain restaurant inside LAX and pining over Adrianne, a flight attendant who occasionally passes through her terminal.

This is super cute! Pining and adorableness to the extreme. Their interactions are filled with such affection. I really enjoyed the Jared moments too, he's a great side charter who made me laugh. exmanhater did a great job giving everyone their own distinct voices, which made for an awesome podfic. I really enjoyed this!


3) [Art] Month of Love by steendraws
Summary (mine):Favourite love story.

Medieval Lesbians! This piece of art is really lovely, with the lady knight kneeling before her lady, kissing her hand. It is a beautiful, stolen moment, both women are captivated and both have slight blushes. <333

4) [Art] Fairy Tale by omgdragonfly

More Medieval Lesbians! These two are locked in a kiss, with the knight's sword extended, framing the scene. There is passion here, and it is super adorable.

Seriously all, I need all the Medieval Lesbian fanworks please.

5) [Fic] Pulling On All Your Threads by clio_jlh - Teen Wolf - Lydia Martin/Erica Reyes (with VERY minor Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Allison Argent/Scott McCall) - 8803 words
Summary: Lydia has no doubt in her mind that she's going to win this design competition. She just needs to keep from being distracted by one of her competitors. Not that Erica's trying to distract her; she wants to win, too. Getting Lydia's attention is just a bonus.
(A Project Runway AU.)

This story is a truly beautiful blending of two worlds. The Project Runway setting is delightful, and I love the way the show's structure neatly moves time along and pushes the characters into new challenges. The characters are so cute, and their interactions are very well done. Eric and Lydia are the focus, but the story gives you glimpses into the characterisation of the other characters and their friendships. I love the idea of Stiles and Scott becoming an awesome fashion designing duo of insanity. Erica and Lydia make a badass pair!

6) [Vid] Wings by rhea - Multifandom - 3:51
Summary: Awesome Ladies Fanvid \o/

A celebration of female characters with focus on showing their competency not just through violence but through their friendships, determination, self confidence, intelligence, leadership, and skills. Part a remix, part a conversation with the vids that have come before, and part love letter to these awesome ladies and the people who vid them.

This is an absolutely amazing vid! I have literal tears in my eyes over how many awesome ladies feels it gives me. I love how the vid contains women being awesome, women having fun, and women dancing! It feels like a beautiful celebration. I have a few favourite moments: Lydia (Teen Wolf) finishing a maths sum on the board with competent flair, Willow and Tara (Buffy) slow dancing to the lyrics 'we don't let nobody bring us down', Letty (Fast and the Furious) pulling of an outrageous car move as a new verse starts, Starbuck (Battlestar Galactica) displaying a winning hand at cards with the biggest smile, Zoe (Firefly) still shooting someone after being laid flat on her back, again to the lyrics 'we don't let nobody bring us down', and there are many more. I have watched this vid numerous times, and I highly recommend it.
