Fire Juggler

When you're just starting to splash around in a new fandom, there is really nothing like finding an awesome author with a blanket permission statement on their masterlist or profile. queenklu was actually one of my introductions to H5O fandom, through reena_jenkins's fabulous podfic of I Have a History of Taking Off My Shirt (totally awesome--both the story, and the podfic--check them out, immediately).

When I read Aloha Aku No, Aloha Mai No, I just couldn't resist. Danny with his hibiscus petals, and Steve with his repressed, confused denial. queenklu writes with such humor and compassion and all-round wonderfulness. Her dialog is just so……. sparkly and spot-on and I just want to hug all her stories tight and never let them go.

Huge thank you to queenklu because between the wonderful writing and Blanket Permission, you are so awesome!!! And thanks to takola, who listened to this pretty much the minute I sent it to her just so that I could get it posted before I travel for the holidays. ♥

So…while I've been having my wee sulk, I've been podficcing!! Might as well be productive while sulking, right? I decided it is time to branch out, break out of my fandom rut. Because I consume in LOTS of different fandoms, but I only seem to produce in, well, Harry Potter. So, last week I was sulking and reading and I came across this fic and by the end of it, I was just so happy!!! I wrote this kind of hand-wavy, flailing, incoherent email to the author that was like "ummm…. you don't know me….podfic….your fic!!! Guh! Happy happy!! Can I?" Which she somehow decoded and said "Sure!" almost instantaneously (for which I am forever grateful).

This fic, guys, it's…well… hand!kink porn, and it's just so lush and lovely and fun (it was inspired by this photo of Steve's huge hand around Danny's wrist). I love the descriptions in it, the humor, the hotness and…. geez… Just go read it. Now. OR….you could listen :)

Many, many thanks to alamo_girl80 for her permission and her enthusiasm. And, as always, thanks to ladydeth12 and takola, to whom I said "not your fandom, but will you beta anyway?" and they said "of course!" and didn't even make me feel guilty about it. *glomps*
