Note about Japanese sites:
Japanese fanart sites tend to go down or change to reflect the artist's changes with involvement in fandom. I do check for broken links every year, but I only fix them on the site archive as it's too much of an undertaking to do both the site and the journal.

Author: sunpeel
Fandom: Hunter x Hunter
Pairing: Killua/Gon
Rating: PG-13
Author's Summary: 26 drabbles on Gon, Killua, and what is between.
My thoughts: Glimpses of Killua and Gon's relationship mostly from Killua's POV. Sometimes sweet, sometimes sad, sometimes hopeful and sometimes funny, but always feeling like they could really happen. ♥
Excerpt:
Temptation:
Killua bet that together, after all these years of training, they could probably just kill Hisoka by now and be rid of him and his freakiness forever. The problem was, Gon liked Hisoka. And Gon didn't like killing. So the idea was moot, really.
But sososo tempting.

Sorry I haven't rec'ed much lately, but we've finally settled down for the most part and I'm going to try updating again. :D
Title: Mind Heist
Vidmaker: xXxASTRAEAxXx
Fandom: Brave 10
Background Music: Zack Hemsey - Mind Heist
Episodes: Episode 1
Characters: Various
Rating: PG for blood/violence
My thoughts: This is like a really epic trailer for Brave 10 (but using only the first episode)! I'd love to see a new AMV made like this now that the anime is complete.
Title: Single Ladies
Fandom: Glee
Background Music: Beyoncé - Single Ladies (Put a Ring On it)
Episodes: Season 1
Characters: Kurt, Finn, various Glee cast
Rating: G
Summary: The highlights of Kurt’s fabulous yet subtle flirtations..okay it’s simply his pining over Finn but hey, can’t blame the boy can you?
My thoughts: I loved this video! Lots of fun, gotta love Kurt. xD Could also be seen as Furt because, well, see the summary!
Title: Hisoka vs Gon
Fandom: Hunter x Hunter
Background Music: Papa Roach - Last Resort
Episodes: 23, 38, 39, 41, 42
Characters: Hisoka & Gon main
Rating: PG-13 for violence/blood
My thoughts: The only thing that would have made this better is if it included the scene from episode 8! At first I couldn’t get into the song matched with the video, but by the time it got to the tournament match I was excited! I love a determined Gon. I think the original anime did an amazing job showing Gon’s emotions through his eyes/expressions.

Fandom: Star Trek Reboot
Pairing: Chekov -> McCoy, McCoy/?
Rating: R+
Author's Summary: PWP. Voyeur!Chekov. Inappropriate use of Sickbay. Enter at your own risk.
My thoughts: I love the comparison between the moon and Chekov's religion, and how it was weaved throughout the fic. I'd love to see how Chekov goes about his 'mission'!
Excerpt:
He had only dropped by sickbay on a whim, really. It had become a recent habit to do so, as the doctor (BonesMcCoyLeonardDoctor) usually ended his shift at the same time and was occasionally amenable to a drink and perhaps a game of checkers. Chekov liked to hear him talk about his daughter—which he was willing to do with only the slightest provocation—or hear him describe a sweltering Mississippi summer, or grumble about how often he was being forced to beam down on away missions when he didn’t “trust that damned infernal technology any farther than I can throw it.” It hadn’t quite occurred to him that McCoy might be working a different shift that day, or that he might want to exercise a touch of caution upon entering a public area of the ship.

Pairing: Adam/Kris
Rating: PG-13
Author's Summary: fandom cliche #82: in which the heroes get older, grow up and fall in love.
My thoughts: Apparently my first rec for this pairing, and possibly the first fic I ever read in the fandom! I really like what the author did with Kris, I feel it's true to real life. I love how he found what he really wanted for himself, even though it was harsh at times. Also, I loved the cuddling. <3
Excerpt:
Adam calls him a few days later. “I met someone,” Adam says.
Kris is at the beach. It’s crowded, but Paris Hilton is half a mile down the beach from him, so no one is paying him attention. Kris tans and burns unevenly, in weird, unpredictable splotches, but it’s better than nothing.
“You meet people every day,” he says, digging his toes into the sand.
“No, I met someone,” Adam says. His excitement is palpable through the phone; it’s in the distinctive hitch in his voice.
Kris squints down the beach. “I think Paris Hilton might be drowning,” he says, “or maybe she just swims that way for fun.”
Adam huffs impatiently. Kris isn’t really sure why he’s trying to annoy Adam, but he is sure that he doesn’t want to talk about Adam’s new boyfriend. Adam’s had a lot of them over the years, and since Drake none of them have stuck for too long, and today Kris is tired.
“Well I can tell this isn’t going anywhere,” Adam says. “Call me when you feel like being a human.” And he hangs up.

Genre: AU
Pairing: Castiel/Dean
Rating: R+
Author's Summary: Online dating can be tricky, even without involving the forces of Heaven, Hell, and the monsters in between.
My thoughts: I love this AU! Jess is still alive, and Castiel lives on Earth with his siblings Gabriel and Raziel. I really like how the author wrote Dean, and Castiel is quite interesting. I love the progression of their relationship. The side-characters were fun too! I'd love to read a timestamp fic showing what happened in the end with Dean and Castiel. Something I only realized until after I was finished reading was that Dean's question about Castiel having a kid wasn't resolved. It doesn't impact how I feel about the fic but a brief clearing up of that would have been spiffy. XP
Excerpt:
"Online flirtation is weird, Sam," he answers. "Just for the record. This guy already wants to meet me."
"You didn't send him a picture of your dick, did you?"
"Is that really what you think of me? I'm savin' that one for the third date."
Dean taps his fingers on the table while Sam mumbles about how it's a bad idea to send naked pictures to people online even though Dean knows he has a folder of naked pics of Jessica floating around on this thing somewhere.
"Not the point, Sammy," Dean interrupts. "He wants to meet me. In Vegas."
There's a beat and then Sam says, "Sounds like he wants to be your sugar daddy."

Pairing: Puck/Kurt
Rating: PG-13
Author's Summary: Nineteen years ago, a baby boy was expected to the newly married Hummels.
My thoughts: Is this really my first Glee fic rec? Huh! It was really interesting to read this in 2012 when so much has happened since the fic was written in 2009. I think it's really cool how the author made this idea work! There were a lot of fun and interesting moments. When I read fic in this fandom it's usually other pairings, but I've read a few Puck/Kurt stories that just worked. This is one of them. Highly recommended, obviously!
Excerpt:
"So," Puck says during AP English the next day, currently ignoring all the rules of McKinley High and leaning against Kurt's desk, not even pretending to look threatening, "Are you going to be my private Glee tutor?"
He's leering as he says it, and Kurt fights hard to keep the amusement off his face. "I suppose me and Brittany can sacrifice some of our pre-So You Think You Can dance ritual to teach your stupid nearly-could've-lost-us-Regionals ass the steps you're missing."
"You forgot hot," Puck grins, which is a surprising twist of events that Kurt's still marveling over when Puck goes, "Wait, you and Brittany have a ritual?"
"Yes, for several years now," Kurt says, "We tried other shows before it, but none worked as well as So You Think You Can Dance. It provided us with the perfect mix of opportunity to bitch, laugh and be amazed at professional dancers. It's also never had an episode that was all disappointment."
"I never actually thought of the show that way before," Puck says and Kurt smiles, amused.
"That doesn't surprise me."
"So how long have you and Brittany been friends?"
"Since we were little." Kurt says, "The future social status doesn't mean much when you're three."

Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series
Pairing: Kirk/Spock pre-slash
Rating: PG, drinking
Author's Summary: Kirk, Spock, Scotty and McCoy kill time in a bar.
My thoughts: I think the author nailed the characters in this. I could so easily imagine this scene in my head, especially when it's Kirk's turn to say what he thinks Spock would never say. The ending is really interesting, it's almost like a punch in the gut.
Excerpt:
“Well, this’ll show how well we know each other. You and Scotty and Jim, for instance, will all come up with a sentence that you think is exactly the opposite of what I would normally say. And then, I’ll try to top it with something even more opposite.”
Spock tilted his head and regarded the doctor solemnly. “It is not possible,” he told McCoy pedantically, “to be ‘more opposite.’ It is like saying that a thing is ‘very unique.’ It is either unique or it is not: there is no matter of degree in an absolute.”
McCoy rolled his eyes. “Yeah, whatever. All right, then, let me put it this way: I’ll try to come up with something even more outrageous than the three of you have said. It’ll show whether I know myself the best, or whether one of you does.” He shot a challenging look at Spock. “So what do you think?”
“I think” Spock replied slowly, “that if the object of the game is to generate an outrageous statement, you will most likely be declared the winner almost instantly.”

Pairing: Kirk/Spock pre-slash
Rating: PG
Author's Summary: While accompanying his parents on a routine visit to Earth, a teenaged Spock meets a fascinating young boy named Jim.
My thoughts: I quite like this Spock, though it's hard to imagine him as a 'teen' with the way he is! Young Kirk is also really interesting, this takes place a year after the cliff incident. I love the way he just does what he wants and Spock's reaction to it. XD This makes me want to read more younger!K/S. The ending to this...oh Kirk. The author mentioned a sequel or series, and I think it'd be interesting to read Spock's reaction to Tarsus and maybe what would happen if they met again, but it also stands alone just fine because we can imagine what happens ourselves.
Excerpt:
“Perhaps if you had taken more time reading the display and less time circumventing the Arboretum safety measures, you would not be in your current predicament,” Spock told him primly, holding his hands discretely aloft to prevent touching Jim accidentally.
The Human scowled mutinously, reaching upward to tug at Spock’s sleeve; he raised his hands higher to avoid this, noting their positions with some irony. It seemed Spock was now to take on the role of evader.
“I don’t have cooties, you know,” Jim informed him, allowing his arms to flop back to his sides crossly. “I’m not carrying any communicable diseases, and you won’t catch my humanity by touching me.”
“One does not catch humanity; one is either Human or not,” Spock told him, carefully not adding that it was also possible to occupy the middle ground of this distinction, seeing as he was a prime example; Jim did not need to know that.
