I know I'm in my own world... it's okay, they know me here

Today I am very tired because I got back very late from the cinema (went to see Avatar again, but the decent time was all gone when I got there so we went to the late show) and then I'd run out of cough medicine so I kept myself up all night coughing. Fun times.

I know this is the second day in a row I have recced one of her fics, but I'll be honest, I adore hackthis's writing. She's just such a wonderful storyteller. So: here is a story I absolutely love. She's taken the idea of Superman and Lois Lane's child from Superman Returns, and fused that with the Clark/Lex relationship of Smallville and Clark and Lex's canonical biological child, you heard me right, Kon-El, from the comics, to make an insightful, clever fic that really uses all three sources to advantage, and without using one over the others. You don't have to have read/seen all three to follow this.

We got a new guinea pig!

His name is Fudge and we got him from the RSPCA, so he's already big and about Neo's age. So hopefully they will get along and be friends, and stop being so lonely. It's annoying that I'm just about to go away, but since I'm the only one with enough time to spend with Neo when he was on his own to stop hm from getting too lonely - and he still was - it's also good.

He's very noisy, and lively, and so far they seemed to get along okay when we put them in together for a little while.

Also, fic recs!

Vampyre and Zhombies of London, by girl_starfish.

It's DC comics fanfic, starring Superboy, Robin and Kid Flash (Kon, Tim and Bart.) But you don't have to be familiar with the fandom - it's AU, and fairly self-explanatory, and basically awesome. It's a Victorian-type story where they hunt monsters, there is genderbending and slash. I've asked the author if she plans to write more and the answer is 'not now but maybe'. Really, I got totally enthralled by these (which may, I admit, be because I love and know the fandom.)

Do try them, at least. It's cleverly and carefully done, with slowly developing relationships between characters and slow revelations - the sort of thing I LOVE.
