Apparently reccing fics is what I do these days. To be fair, there are so many exchanges and challenges posting/revealing right now, it's kind of hard not to shove links in people's faces, you know? So whatever, I'm sure none of you are actually complaining.

I Saw Three Ships (the threesomes/moresomes anon exchange on DW) posted late Sunday night! The mystery writer who had me wrote an empty hourglass in the sand (Natasha/Coulson/Clint), and it's very pretty. Reveals are going up on the 13th, but if you've spent any time around me, or if you've read my f-locked entries over the last few weeks, I think the one I wrote is pretty obvious. >.> ANYWAY, another 3 Ships fic I really enjoyed was Heard You Fuck through the Wall (Lydia/Peter/Stiles). It's WEIRD and DARK and totally awesome, and I really love the author's style.

I made some other recommendations on Twitter yesterday. There are two Steve/Peggy/Bucky fics that I am 99% sure will interest some people 'round these parts. There's a bunch of other Avengers moresomes - Clint/Darcy/Steve, Tony/Bruce/Pepper/Betty, Luke/Jessica/Danny/Misty, to name a few - and some Doctor Who, Leverage, Sherlock Holmes, Stargate SG-1, Haven, and Luther as well. I haven't read any of these, but I make good mention in case you're interested, friends. It's worth a look-through if you're hard up for fic at the moment.

And here's a mini Teen Wolf reclist:

*You Are Here (Lydia & Stiles gen) [When they cross the boundary into Hale territory, Stiles shifts a little in his sleep, shoulders hunching. Lydia's immunity carries over into most of the supernatural world: she can't be bitten, she can't be poisoned, and she's never been able to do magic on her own. Unlike Stiles, she can't feel the veil that separates Beacon Hills from the rest of the world. Sometimes she wonders if what happened before they left would have turned out differently if she'd undergone some transformative alchemy, but usually she tries not to think about it at all.]

*Some Like It Hot (Stiles/Derek) [All Stiles wants is a night out with the girls but when Derek shows up, things go topsy-turvy very quickly, and he gets far more than he expected.]

*Best Laid Plans (Danny/Stiles) ["You want us to be fuck-buddies so I can get some rebound sex and you can get some experience with a guy?" Danny repeated slowly.]

*set all your regrets on fire (Peter/Stiles) [I’m going to die, Stiles thinks, remembering the last time he saw Peter Hale standing over the trunk of a car. I’m going to die, and no one will make my father eat his vegetables, and he’ll die of a heart attack before they even find my body. // Peter kidnaps Stiles. Meanwhile, a series of gruesome murders has the Argents and Derek’s pack working together.]

In other news, I watched a show about colossal squids last night. It freaked me out a bit - apparently squid eyes scare the fuck out of me! who knew! But not as much as the next episode I watched, which was about humboldt squids expanding their territory for no discernible reason and being pack-hunters and how they're going to eventually rise up out of the ocean and eat all of us.

Remind me never to watch nature shows about squids ever again. :(

oooo I want to watch that about the humboldt squids now. I will, of course, be terrified while doing so, but want to watch it anyway.

It's on Netflix! The program was a Discovery Channel special called Colossal Squid (I think?), and it has two episodes - the second episode is the one about the humboldt squids!

I DID SEE THAT. Or, I should say, my boss made a point to tell me about it after I explained in great detail about squids scaring the shit out of me. D: THEY ARE BOTH MAJESTIC AND REALLY FUCKING CREEPY, OKAY.

Squids and other cephalopods are the most terrifying creatures on earth :( http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=493

"HUGE EYES, BEAKS, INTELLIGENCE, and AMBITION" - this comic speaks the truth! :( :( :( :(

In college my friend Molly and I had this horrifying game where we would try to find out the worst facts about cephalopods (and occasionally other sea creatures) to tell each other. They can pick locks! They can solve Rubix Cubes! they are coming for us

WHY WOULD YOU TELL ME THESE THINGS

I am so going to have to try and give Teenwolf another go, simply because I want to be able to read some of the things you're reccing. It's just ... the one time I made the effort to watch it, it was not good

But then I could say the same for the Sentinel fandom as well. I came into that via fanfic before even seeing an episode of the show. Are there any Teenwolf stories you'd suggest for somebody who doesn't necessarily want to watch the show?

Teen Wolf is one of those shows that you need to dedicate some time to for sure. I'd say that season one overall is pretty shitty, but once you get started on season two, it's like a switch flips and suddenly you care about EVERYTHING (even season one). Your mileage may vary, but that's been the consensus almost everyone I know who's watched it has come to!

As for recs for a non-watcher, I'll leave some links below! Hopefully you won't have to spend too much time scratching your head and running for Wikipedia. XD I tend to read a multitude of pairings (since Derek/Stiles is the main pairing in the fandom, there'll be more of those) and tropes and AUs, so I'll try to pick stories that don't rely on too much canon and you can go from there. :D
