Fire in the Hole

A couple rec requests because I got on another scoring run for impossibly small fandoms and/or rare pairings and didn't find enough of either to satisfy me.

#1 Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, William Brandt/Jane Carter. Saw it yesterday, and after I learned to pretend it wasn't Tom Cruise who played Ethan Hunt, I loved it. Also, Jeremy Renner is in it and boy, was I in love with his character the moment he appeared. No really. And then I went looking for fics and I ended up finding like four Brandt/Carter fics. Like, on the whole interwebs. If anyone has fics to rec for me that are neither on ff.net nor on AO3, I'd be very happy.

#2 The Hunger Games, Gale Hawthorne/Johanna Mason. Jesus fucking Christ, I've got issues with that trilogy. Like... massive ones. As massive as the Nut mountain thingy in District 2. I'm nearly finished and I want to throw the book against a wall at every other sentence (I'll explain why after I finish Mockingjay). But, I kind of fell in love with Gale/Johanna after a very short look into fanfiction on HG. I read there were grief and ruins, and you were the miracle. and Feel What It's Like To Be New and they are both awesome and I want more fics like that (which means: no actual appearance of either Katniss or Peeta and most of all no Katniss/Peeta because I just can't abide that pairing). Pretty please?

#3 The Avengers, Clint Barton/Natasha Romanoff. I haven't even seen the movie (and probably never will until it's out on DVD because there's not even one cinema that shows it in 2D in the entire fucking city. It's a city of 3.5 million people and God knows how many cinemas and none shows it in anything other than 3D *sobs quietly) but just from reading other people's accounts (most of all sangate's) I have a feeling it must be awesome. And I just love the idea of two very highly skilled but otherwise ordinary humans on a team of supermen and it just feels as if they'd fit each other very well. I did find a couple of fics but most of them felt OOC even for someone who hasn't seen the movie yet (that sounded pretentious, didn't it?). So does anyone have recs with Hawkeye/Black Widow that don't have them both be OOC? Yes? Anyone? Anyone at all?

In light of next month's 100th anniversary of International Women's Day (a tradition that used to be firmly observed in East Germany but is slowly starting to be forgotten :() and the reoccurence of Women's History Month in March and a suggestion by sgteam14283, I was thinking about a little quick challenge to celebrate it, in two of the comms I (apparently, according to LJ) own:



Women's Day/Women's History Month challenge poll @ major_explosion (Lorne/Cadman comm)

Women's Day/Women's History Month challenge poll @ stargate_ocs (a comm for Stargate OCs)

Go on, everyone, take part! Let's celebrate all those wonderful Stargate women! And I certainly hope to see lots of great Stargate women fic and art next month :D 100 years of International Women's Day, girls! Let's have a party!

Und zwar: Ich will mir ne Stola stricken und kann mich für keine Farbe so richtig entscheiden, deswegen dürft ihr mitentscheiden (and because I want as much people voting as possible, here for my English speaking readers: I want to knit a stola and can't decide for the color... so you get to do it ;)).[Poll #1333350][Poll #1333350]
