This is Shirasade‘s fic and vid recs collection, starting 2015. (Unfortunately my recs from 2005 onwards were hosted on Delicious and went bust with the site, although I was able to import an old bookmarks list from 2010 into Tagpacker.) Because I moved from Delicous to Tumblr and now WordPress, the older posts don’t look quite so pretty.

I love concept vids like this.
They aren’t the same people they were, but they are.

A lovely bit of post-canon for this cute 90s teen rom-com.
Kirk glances over his shoulder and meets Spock’s gaze. His shoulders drop as if in relief, he smiles.
Spock’s fingers tighten against the urge for skin-to-skin in order to fully understand, but perhaps he does not require it. Perhaps – he has to consider – neither of their reactions are illogical. Spock was the first officer Kirk came upon on the planet. Kirk associates him with that moment, with rescue and safety. And for Spock, determined not to allow another Starfleet officer to be lost…
Isn’t service in Starfleet predicated on mutual protection? While his connection to Kirk isn’t that which he had with Una, Hemmer, or Michael, isn’t Starfleet a bond of kinship nonetheless?
His controls smooth, settle, as he seats himself next to Kirk. Maintaining a distance throughout the day now seems illogical.

A lovely post-season 1 SNW fic about two complicated people in complicated situations finding themselves drawn together rather unexpectedly.
So Alec turned his head to Jace. Even now with all those conflicting emotions running through him, with the strong need to make things right with Magnus, he still knew that the only way to save them both was to kiss Jace. How many times had he dreamed about kissing Jace? And now he was going to do it, in this nightmarish perversion of his forbidden fantasies.
Alec averted his eyes as he walked over to Jace, shame, anger, fear, sadness all running through him. His heart was beating so loud that when he finally stood before Jace, he would have worried that Jace could hear it. But he didn’t need to, because the bond had already synced Jace’s heartbeat with his own. Alec wanted to tell Jace – and Magnus – that this didn’t mean anything. But he couldn’t. Not when it meant everything.

A thrilling (and seriously hot) canon divergence from the Seelie kiss.
“Go talk to him.”
Charles watched as Edwin went back to his book, quickly becoming engrossed and oblivious to the room once again.
“And say what? Hey mate, you know how you confessed your undying love to me and I was all ‘well thats nice anyway’ about it? Yeah so funny story, samesies wanna hold my hand and go skipping?” He rolled his eyes at her.
“Well,” Crystal said, “I assume less hand holding more fucking. But sure.”

Charles gets a clue – and the boys get hot and bothered. 😉
It wasn’t romantic by normal standards, she supposed, but it was purely Snow and Charming. Battered, bruised, and dirty after a skirmish, hiding in what was essentially a hole in the ground, but it was a very fitting getaway for a bandit princess and a shepherd turned prince on the run.

A perfect first time fic. Headcanon accepted.
Not a fanvid per se – this is an official edit released by Paramount and Disney, and it made me very, very happy.
David walks her home. It’s hardly discreet, but he is a gentleman and she is the woman who saved his life. They’re friends. That’s all. Friends. The platonic type. No benefits whatsoever. Nope. None. None at all.
She reminds herself of that as she scrapes her key into the lock and lets him inside.

Canon-divergence. This is lovely, especially the way their memories echo.
He sighs, his forehead leaning against hers. His voice is warm and inviting. “Snow …”
“Charming,” she says again, more tenderly now. “We can’t — you know we can’t stay like this forever. Tomorrow–”
He cuts her off, kissing her softly then nudging her nose with his own. “But we have tonight.”

I’m very late to the OUAT party, but here I am. 🙂 This fills in some gaps between Snow and Charming’s parting after the troll bridge and her coming to stop his wedding.
This is probably my favourite vid for this fandom so far. Perfect song choice, perfect editing. Seriously.
