Just a few points, regarding the X-Men Panel page updates (this hour) on CBR. Spoilers neatly tucked away beneath the cut, for those not wanting their eyes and ears bleeding.

...When it comes to T&A. Particularly Rogue's... in this particular position... with Remy's hand lingering only very slightly north of her posterior.

...

In my humble opinion, it's still hot.

Hell, the pose is practically iconic. Or is that cliche? This makes the second twisted-back embrace with cards and the threat of exposed skin seen in a matter of months, the last incident being #204 of Adjectiveless. Thoughts? Third time's a charm, says I. Bring it on, Marvel. You can't do any worse with these two than you've done so far.

Ick.  
Just a little too much "drinky drinky" last night in pre-Canada Day celebration. (It was St. Jean Baptiste last week, which means absolutely nothing to me since I worked that day, the fireworks kept my dog up, which in turn kept me up, and people were just generally obnoxious in displaying their Quebecois-ness... this happens in equal proportion to those of us in Quebec who demonstrate our Canadian-ness today. Fortuneately for greater Montreal society, I'm too hungover to do much by way of flaunting the red n' white.)

Anyway.

There was a point to this post:

I crave beignets and cafe au lait.

Instead of beignets and cafe au lait, I found New Orleans based-ROMY darkfic. (Somewhere nearby, Julie Andrews is singing, "These are a few of my favourite things.") It compensates for the lack of fried things covered in powdered sugar, trust me. (And you all know how I get with my cravings, right? I covet enthusiastically.)

P.S. Wall-E is the shit, but more important than Wall-E were the Pixar previews. Can I just say that The Tale of Despereaux looks awesome? OMG. Daredevil Mouse with Big Ears. I'm totally sold already.

P.P.S. Ten days. (Hint: The Right Hand of Doom is > you.)

It's been a while since I've done one of these, and I'd like to keep something of a flow happening over the summer (since its the only time I seem to be able to read fanfiction at all). Fresh fan-to-fan recs, folks. (All Romy, all the time? Something like that.)

On the docket, in no particular order:

I )

II )

III )

ETA: Also, [info]brienze, I saw this and thought of you with a big O.O attached.

Title: The Ante
Chapter 28:  Mistigris – Part I
Fandom:
X-Men: Evolution
Author: Lucia de’Medici
Summary: When Remy LeBeau left Rogue on the shore of the Ripper’s bayou hideout, he slipped a solitary playing card into the palm of her hand. It was a conciliatory gesture — an offer for friendship, an unspoken apology, and the beginning of a less-than-friendly game between rivals. A year has passed. The stakes have been raised, and Remy is not a person who enjoys entertaining the idea of folding before the bluff gets called.

Author’s Notes: My New Orleans lust: let me show you it. (Extensive) notes are at the bottom. This chapter goes out to my home slices on LJ, who frequently inspire me, frequently get me screaming about Emil like a ridiculous fangirl, and frequently remind me why I started writing this ridiculously long, never-ending piece of fanfiction. I loffs you. (Long live the Cult of the White Rabbit. Now accepting minion hoards to worship at the altar of Emil. Or something.) A note regarding this sequence in particular (and the following “Parts” to come: this chapter has been broken down into several smaller chunks. The whole of Chapter 28: Mistigris is going to hit a page count of some hundred and fifty pages or so, and to accommodate both your schedule and mine, I broke the chapter into smaller parts… such as what you’re seeing here. The rest of it will be posted as each part is completed and polished, and life will carry on as usual as soon as this “interlude” of sorts wraps up.)
