TSN not-ficlet thingy

Reposting this from tumblr on account of how fast content gets lost in the shuffle over there, and because after ten years I'm pretty deeply in the habit of posting ficcish stuff to lj.

So herein lies a scribbly half-ficlet I dreamed up this morning. Literally. I had an Eduardo/Marilyn dream. (note: I think on reflection she spells it Marylin but that is way too close to my own name so I'm not going to go through and change it because it'd be a little weird for me.)

SO UM HERE. ( Read more... )

……… and then I DON’T KNOW but somehow it would all end in Mark/Eduardo/Marilyn because THAT IS JUST THE WAY I ROLL.

Death Note

I literally cannot go more than two pages of Death Note at a time without laughing out loud. And I usually read it when I'm on the train or at a cafe or suchlike, so I have spent most of my recent public time looking like an unhinged person.

I can't help it. Everyone in it and everything they do is just magical and amazing. I don't even know how to begin to describe it, suffice to say that while Tiger & Bunny has been my post-DC-Comics refuge for excellent, touching, hilarious, exciting stories about superheroes who have way too many feelings, Death Note is the text I'll now turn to when I want stories akin to the more psychologically horrimazing exploits of the Bat family.

Think of every time little blonde Pre-Crisis Jason told Bruce 'my whole soul belongs to you! I don't even care if you cause my death! THAT IS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOOOOOOOU!', combined with that time Bruce deliberately gave himself amnesia of ever having been Batman so that he would be totally convincing as Bruce Wayne while being observed, combined with every single one of Tim Drake's more Dexter-y moments cranked up to eleven, combined with the way Jason sometimes fights with Dick and Tim and Damian like they're all wet cats in a sack, combined with Jason and Stephanie's inability to comprehend why Bruce is like 'no seriously, killing criminals is wrong, even really bad ones, if this keeps being a theme with you guys I'll be annoyed', combined with...

You get the point. IT'S JUST AMAZING AND WONDERFUL AND A DISASTER ON EVERY POSSIBLE LEVEL. I love it so very much.

I've actually only got one fic rec for it so far, because I still have heaps of canon to gleefully devour (in addition to the original manga, which I'm making my way through, there is an anime series, a couple of live-action movies, and a couple of novels).

But if you're already familiar with Death Note, you should read A Tithe to Hell (though heed the warnings at the start!) because it's just so fucking good and basically everything I could want in an L/Light story.

Ugh ugh I just love them so much.
