a humble request

posted by [personal profile] the_dala at 11:04am on 04/09/2004
Having a very bad day. Can't seem to write myself into a better mood, gonna try reading instead.

So: I'm asking for recs. Recs of happy, recs of fluffy, recs of sweet, recs that make you go "awww *sigh*" I'm thinking of PotC, but if there's something in another fandom that fits the bill and I can basically figure out what's going on, I'll take it. Any ship, het or slash, as long as it's relatively angst-free (unless it's hurt/comfort and everything turns out all right in the end). As many or as few as you like; your own stuff if you want; stuff you know I've already read.

Please?
Music:: "ship song," heather nova
Mood:: 'melancholy' melancholy

Actually, "Shelter" was one of the first things I went hunting for before I made this request :) It's like a comfy blanket.

And I cannot thank you enough for sending me in the direction of [livejournal.com profile] monkeycrackmary. I want to live in that AU.

*slaps up an exerpt*

Down, down, -down- my banister he slides, his wild clothing floating around him as he picks up speed on the slight wooden curve. Kicking off at the last possible moment to save himself from extreme pain from the wooden pillar at the bottom, he twists his body down the last few steps, fumbling for some sort of balance. He stumbles to his feet, finally nearly falling into one of the maid's arms as she walks out of the parlour room, obviously moving up the stairs to change the bed linens. She blinks blue eyes wildly at him, wondering why she has a armful of pirate and not of sheets, no doubt. In turn, he flashes her that -smile- of his, speaking admiringly, "Good reflexes there, love."

The maid flushes as Jack comes to his feet again, ambling the rest of the way down the steps and towards the dining room. She gives a breathless sort of sigh, then titters her way back up the stairs. Lucien gawps, his own blue eyes wide as my saucers, utterly stunned to silence by the pirate nearly skipping his way to breakfast. And I? I do the only thing that I can in this situation. Heave my long suffering sigh, and continue to go through my letters.

"...Ja...Ja...Jack Sparrow!" Lucien gasps, the tray in his hand shivering so loudly that the clacking is audible.

"Captain Jack Sparrow." I say absentmindedly. My dear Lord, how many invitations have I gotten today? Do we honestly have this many unmarried women in Port Royal?

"Never forget the honorific." Jack says cheerily, and I just -know- he is violating the poor man's personal space. "Or I might get a bit cross ...savvy?"

Or ...perhaps these were friends of said unmarried girls, and were giving them every opportunity to throw their charms in my direction? My God, how far did this marrying conspiracy go?

"Si...si ... sir?" Lucien's words travel in my direction, still gawping like a fish, and I fight off the urge to laugh as I lift my head to peer gravely at him, then over at Jack.

"He's harmless, Lucien, and he is also our guest until the Turner wedding." I shoot Jack a steady green-eyed glower, "He'll also be behaving himself unless he wants to deal with -me-."

Jack flops down in the chair opposite me, fluttering his eyelashes in a totally exaggerated fashion. "Wouldn't -dream- of being bad, Commodore." He plucks up the napkin sitting beside the eggs, and snaps it open with a flicker of his wrist. "Well, no more than usual."

Oh. Oh, I know this wasn't written for me, but I'm SO glad I saw it. What a wonderful funny little slice of yummy! I loved this.

You should continue this... infact, continue this until it never ends! I loved it.

Well, I'm pretty sure you've read thes already, but they're the only two of mine that people said were "sweet" when I first posted them, so here they are:

Legacy
Bounded in a Nut Shell"
Both are quite short.

And [livejournal.com profile] commodorified's All The King's Men is a lovely Horatio Hornblower Archie/Edrington piece which I think you can enjoy even if you don't know the stories.

I hope the rest of your day goes better.

Well, ordinarily I wouldn't self-pimp (this obviously, anyway) but the words fluff and angst-free pretty much describe my fic, Harry & the Pirate, provided you are not opposed to het, of course.

So sorry you're having a bad day.

I kept meaning to read this! And now I've started it, and it's wonderful, and I promise to leave you sufficient feedback soon.

Thank you :)

I hope this will make you laugh. If possible about it, and not at me ;)

Once upon a time, under the Caribbean sun,
Young God Cupid decided to have some fun.
So with care he took one arrow,
Shooting it at dear Jack Sparrow,
(Who shouts: You forgot the Captain, whore!)
Another he shot at a certain Commodore.
The pirate took James onto his ship,
kissing him right firmly on the lip.
Tackled down to fall unto soft bed,
the Commodores cheeks blushed bright red
The ship was filled with their laughter,
And they shagged happily ever after.

I just wrote this in response to your request. Hope it helps cheer you up even a tiny bit. I'm half asleep, so not sure how it reads to a normal,
lucid person. *g*

Sure.

Real Life Comics is almost always amusing. The archives are pretty extensive, and there are some absolute gems in there.

In terms of fic, I have some stuff that you might like.

They Say He's A Liar (part of this series) is a very sweet piece that you might like.

IF you like X-Men movie fic, these should help you cheer up. "Beneath The Harrow" begins sadly, has some happy moments, and ends on a note of hope. The non-series pieces are some of the weirder things I've seen, but very amusing.

I've got some hurt/comfort in two parts (Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod/Horseman).

I hope these help and that you feel better soon.

Enough by Sleeps With Coyotes. J/W, very sweet. While you're at it, check out the rest of her PotC fic here. The fluff:smut ratio varies from story to story, but it's all good.

You've already read my h/c fic Remedy, but here it is again.

Feel better.

The Final Fate of Bootstrap Bill (http://www.livejournal.com/users/butterflykiki/15954.html), best dialogue only Jack Voice I've ever read.

Best Laid Plans (http://www.catthause.com/webcrow/bestlaidplans.htm) because it's Sparrington, and I think that's your preferred pairing. And also, [livejournal.com profile] webcrowemancer and [livejournal.com profile] hija_paloma are very good at the smut.

And one of my own, because.. um.. I'm not above self-pimping. Anyway, it's got no angst, and I like it. Anyway, enough apologizing for reccing my own... Kissing Men (http://www.livejournal.com/community/pirategasm/641875.html). Jack/Will, because it's my favorite pairing.

Also, I'm so memorizing this post, because hey... lots of rec's I've never read!

Speaking of rec's (which is just a happy coincidence. Just reminding you the deadline for the POTC Reccing Ball was tonight, but we'll make it tomorrow, because this one fell a little to the wayside because I believe Sparrow is out of town.

Post your rec's here, or let me know if you can't or don't have time.
http://www.livejournal.com/users/sparrowhawk723/6012.html

Hope you feel better!
