It's been so long since I've done one of these! XD
FANDOM: X-Men
Title: Bad Touch
Author: katjen
Summary: A retelling of Rogue's story. (AU, Romy)
Status: Complete
Rating: T (PG-13)
Comments: Seriously, it's one of the best fics I've ever read. Everybody's scarily in-character and the prose is just too beautiful for words. Be sure to also check out its sequel, Cheating at Solitaire.
New Orleans is a woman. He knows her intimately. He's seen her clothed in moonlight and naked as the day. He's followed the curves of her body to places he never imagined existed, breathed in her heady musky scent until it made him dizzy, made him drunk. He's swum in the rivers of her crowds slippery as a fish and twice as swift, he's found refuge in the cradle of her arms, been rocked to sleep by her big brass heartbeat. He's had his fingers on her pulse and his hands in her pockets for as long as he can remember. She's his first love.

FANDOM: Howl's Moving Castle
Title: There and Back Again
Author: Calcifersgrl
Summary: Sophie finds that living Happily Ever After with Howl doesn't come so easily, especially after being catapulted into the fairytale plans of the Witch, who will do whatever it takes to live Happily Ever After herself.
Status: In-Progress
Rating: K+ (PG)
Comments: This was the first HMC I ever read, and reading it again made me feel nostalgic. Too bad it still isn't finished, although it is on its final stretch...
The charming if ramshackle life she had led in the Moving Castle seemed almost another world. (It was, in fact, but Sophie tried not to let that little detail deter her.) And the mundane life she had led after her father’s funeral seemed almost an entirely different other. And the life before that, another. There were so many worlds to contemplate, so many what if’s, what thens – what if her father hadn’t died, what if her mother hadn’t died, what if the Witch had turned Lettie, as she had intended, into an old woman, what if it had been Lettie who had barged into the Moving Castle and taken up residence. What if.
That's all for now, cutting and pasting URLs makes me too lazy to type...XD
