I'm not terribly in love with ballet or ballet dancers, but I absolutely love the sheer amoutn of personality that comes through this Harry and Eggsy. So good and so worth the read.

Summary:

ballerino, Italian
1. (n) male dancer
2. (adj) unstable, fickle, fluctuating

AU: How different would Eggsy's life have turned out if Kingsman gave decent financial support to Lee's family after his death? With no Dean around to squash his interests, gymnastics leads to ballet school and a career as classical ballet's least likely ingenu.

There's also some kind of drama about famous folk disappearing and something about mass genocide.

There's also the matter of Harry Hart's gigantic, embarrassing, all-consuming crush. Bit awkward, really.

Sometimes, the best part of a crossover is wondering how two characters could possibly get on, and then being happily convinced that they absolutely would.

I am terribly lazy and procrastinating sharing this simply because it didn't have a handy share button. I am very spoiled these days.

Because I'm not a tumblr person I kind of missed the big to-do about the music clip for Miike Snow's Genghis Khan. I have now watched that clip many, many times.

Honestly, it's just delightful. 60s Bond era smooth moves and supervillians, dancing, romantic obsession ending in happy gay domesticity. This is currently my happy place.

It kind of makes me want to write Kingsman fic, except I have no real plot. It would just be...

( 729 words of sheer pointlessness )

So, vids. I don't honestly watch a lot of them but this post is half to share teh goodies I've been loving lately and half a reminder to self to download these when I get home because there's a certain point where I've watched a vid multiple times and I realise I want to possess a copy of my own. (And love it and hug it and call it George.)

The first is Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy, and courtesy of

misbegotten's rec: Lock Me Up. The song is a great choice and the cutting really works for me. I love a good strong cut on the beat, but too many cuts or too fast jerks me right out of a vid. Likewise, zooms can be misused, but I love the use of the clips here. The focus on their little faces! The drawing attention to their hands (mmmm!).

I liked the timing of visuals with lyrics, Eggsy yelling on "stop" made me smirk but the flashes to Eggsy in a suit when the lyrics talk about wanting to be something more.

Yes, it's the kid of vid that makes Kingsman look like a romance movie between Harry and Eggsy and I have no problem with that whatsoever.

The second is older but new-to-me, X-Men First Class, Charles/Erik: Perfect Drug. There's a good chance everyone else has already seen it but I've been loving it for the last few days. It's so perfect for Erik -- dark, industrial sound, intense and sharply focussed -- and I really love the construction of the verses. How the first verse is so completely dominated by Shaw and shifts to revenge, how the second verse revolves around Charles and those visual comparison moments between Charles and Shaw, Erik straining his powers to do more, the gun to Erik's head, the coin and bullet in his hand. It's not a happy ending vid but it's got such an emotional punch that feels so true for them.

The third vid is much lighter, because it's needed after that. Express Yourself is multifandom with dorky dancing. It's fun, it makes you want to dance along, and I dare you to watch it and not find yourself smiling along and doing a little chair-dancing.

Summary:

Harry and Eggsy and the golden years.

This is such a lovely gem of a story. It's a really interesting and believable look into Eggsy and Harry's future, into what happens after the Happily Ever After, and it's so sweetly heartfelt and content. I love this sense that they've both grown but they still remember each other as they were, that there's history and shared memories keeping those past selves alive through the years.

A really sweet story.

Silly boy, Harry thinks despite himself, despite the fact that Eggsy hasn’t been a boy long since — he will always be Harry’s boy, come what may.

Care and Custody by Esama is a wonderful read. It's 50K but felt like such a nicely fleshed out and satisfying story. It's Harry/Eggsy, and a different take on them meeting. I love Eggsy raising Daisy and taking on that responsibility as best he could. I love that his impression of Harry is both his saving grace and a posh freak (I loved Eggsy's reaction to Mr Pickle), and that sense of cheekiness that remains throughout.

I sometimes find that long stories drag out and lose pacing and focus, but this one was lovely in every way. Just... a really good read that I enjoyed.

Summary:

The Weeping Angels, Eggsy reads on the stolen Torchwood intel. Aliens that pose as statues, and kill their victims by sending them back in time and feeding off their years not lived in the present. The politest psychopaths in the universe, a note reads, scrawled in what looks like a doctor’s chicken scratch on the edge of the page by someone who clearly had a perverse sense of humour. A one way trip, the report concludes; you get transported by the angels, and it’s the slow road back to the present for you.

Eggsy lays his head back on the wall, takes stock of his situation. He’s lost 30 years - three years more than his entire lifespan up ’til now - in the blink of an eye, and now he’s stuck here, in 1988. Three years before he’s even born. Arthur, the prick, is sure to be heading up the Kingsmen, and Merlin, if he’s even there would be…20, maybe. Fuck, so fucking young.

Shite, even Harry’d only be…

Alive, Eggsy thinks, and finds himself sitting down hard from where his knees can’t hold him. This is 1988, and Harry’s 23, and alive.

Suddenly, being stuck in 1988 doesn’t seem so bad.

Or, the one where love means changing the future. Harry/Eggsy, Time Travel Fix-It.

Time Travel Fix-it should probably be its own genre. I'm very fond of it.

I'm fond of happy Christmas stories, and this was especially lovely. It's warm and heartfelt, and such a lovely slice of holiday joy. There's such a wonderful sense of affection and acceptance in this story. Eggsy and Harry know each other so well, and genuinely care and respect each other. I gives me all the warm, gooey feelings.

Summary:

It starts with being cursed.

No, scratch that. It starts with a garden and a serpent. And no, it goes a little differently from what you’d think.

I was very tempted to title this post "One of these things is not like the other" (because I grew up on Sesame St reruns) or "Three Kingsman and an Epic" (because I also grew up on 80s comedies) but practicality won out. Plus, I remembered a fourth story as I was typing, so I lost my 3 + 1 pattern to make those references work.

Kingsman:

Firstly, I am a sucker for a good intense romance. For loving someone down to your bones and being a little terrified of it, and this story worked for me. I loved the Eggsy POV -- a little foul-mouthed but still sweet, very familiar with Disney tropes but probably still has a terrible foxtrot -- and Harry through his eyes is irresistible. (Plus, I adore the idea of them playing spy-tag in the hallways during Eggsy's training. It's such a lovely thought.)

From romance to Lovecraft-style eldritch horrors, we have "The Monsters are Alright". Because Harry/Merlin is an attractive possibility and if anyone could convincingly be an ancient eldritch horror beneath the accent and charm, it's Harry Hart.

Summary:

"What sort of aggression is it then?" Eggsy asks, cutting right to the heart of the matter.

Harry knows even before he hears the response. Knows because even as Merlin is saying, "It appears to affect sexual responses. Activating latent desire and cranking up the subject’s sex drive whilst simultaneously increasing pheromone production," Harry is thinking primarily of the distance between himself and Eggsy and how very few steps it would take to be within range to push the boy to the floor and pin him there.

ETA: I lied, one more Kingsman rec that I almost forgot. Just a tiny thing, and not even especially slashy, but I loved the concept. No, I loved Harry's reaction to the concept. It made me fall just a little bit more for the character, and that's saying something.

Avengers:

I have been following this wip for months. And then it ended and I kept procrastinating so I would have to read the last chapter and have it finish. But it did, and it's lovely, and it's long, and so I'm reccing it. It has aspects I usually steer away from -- multiple POVs, strong emphasis on plot and action, multiple romances -- but it caught me by secretly starting just with Phil and Clint on a tiny little island, isolated from the world as they fell for each other (a trope I do love beyond words) and then suckered me in with the two of them working towards putting everything right. The word count is kind of terrifying, but the story itself started well and kept the momentum going.

Phil Coulson has been the Keeper of North Bar, and about half hermit, for fifteen years by the time he finds the wounded man lying on the beach in the wake of a storm. (Actually-- it was the dog that found him; blame the dog.)

Clint Barton has been a circus act, a mercenary, a spy, and a superhero-- now he’s a wanted man, and a half-drowned one to boot.

When they start trying to clear Clint's name, events spiral out of control in ways they can't imagine. Their lives will never be the same -- and neither will the Avengers, SHIELD, and the entirety of Long Beach Island, NJ.

Sometimes, I like a good falling for an enemy storyline and getting to see Eggsy as a rather efficient villain is a lot of fun. (Okay, mostly, it's seeing Eggsy interact with Valentine and Gazelle that's fun. And a little hilarious.) The Harry/Eggsy is hot and it was an interesting what-if that kept me reading last night.

Summary:

“This is your next target,” Merlin said into Harry’s earpiece, as Harry leaned forward to look at his laptop screen.

It blacked out, for a moment, then a clip out of some interview began to play. The video was in black and white, crisply and tightly shot, its subject a young man shown seated from the waist up, against a pale gray background, grinning at the camera. He was probably in his mid twenties, dressed down in a black leather jacket over a pale t-shirt, loose over denim jeans, his hair long enough to feather slightly over his forehead, a hint of stubble over his chin. He was also, quite possibly, the most beautiful young man Harry had ever seen, and disturbingly… familiar, somehow.

As the young man laughed noiselessly at the camera, elegant serif type faded over the lower third of the screen: Gary Unwin, by Vanity Fair. Harry blinked, and studied the young man’s pretty face more closely, the crinkling around his eyes, the joyous curl to his mouth, the way he sat, relaxed yet alert, like a hunting hound, waiting to come to heel.

Both are Harry/Eggsy and both made me happy. Firstly, we have a nice insight into Harry's past:

Summary:

Harry Hart has seventeen years worth of mistakes.

Of all the mistakes he made, this is the one he regrets the most.

I like the Harry voice here, and there are some pieces of dialogue that work perfectly for me. I like stories that make the Harry/Eggsy vibe feel obvious and right (I should be able to explain that better, but it's early morning and I can't.)

Second story is much longer, and is more of a complete example of "this is how you do amnesia trope with plot". I liked Eggsy and amnesia-Harry, but more than that, I really liked the background of Kingsman and the Merlin department and how carefully the author had thought about how different areas of Kingsman see each other. (The support department's attitude about agents cracked me up, much like the idea of Finance truly holding the strings to the organisation.) It's a well fleshed out world and very easy to read:

Summary:

“Eggsy, I really don’t think-“ Merlin began, and stopped, because at that very moment, Eggsy walked right into a lamp post.

Across the street, at a sidewalk corner cafe, reading a paper, sandwich part-eaten on a plate, sleek, long legs crossed neatly under the table, was Harry Hart.

I fell for this story quite early, when I read:

Harry’s not happy about being out of the field, but he’s still a steady presence and a calm voice in Eggsy’s ear as he defuses bombs, takes out goons, and generally wreaks havoc on the plans of wannabe-megalomaniacs, none of whom appreciate his well-timed one-liners the way Valentine had.

Bastards.

The sex is hot -- didn't just hit my buttons, pretty much smashed the remote -- but it's the characterisation that shines here. Any porn that can make you laugh out loud in the middle is something to be enjoyed. And shared with other like-minded fans. *g*

Summary:

It is a real, physical struggle to not stare like a dogger while Harry shrugs off his jacket and undoes his collar, sets his signet ring aside. He has detailed, minutely detailed, fantasies about unbuttoning that fucking collar. At least he’s not wearing the holster right now, or Eggsy’d be sprung already. “It’s time you learned the fine art of the straight razor shave.”

Eggsy gives him his best you havin’ a fucking giggle, mate eyebrows. “Like Sweeney Todd?”

Harry’s sigh is just bordering on melodramatic, but he’s also got that odd— Roxy calls it enigmatic—smile he gets when Eggsy trots out some unexpected bit of culture. "Yes, Eggsy, like Sweeney Todd."

To be honest, I didn't realise I wanted to read about Clint and Natasha meeting Eggsy and Roxy, but I totally did. This story is a lot of fun.

Summary:

Espionage is kind of a small world, and it attracts a certain kind of person.

Or: Clint Barton gets captured, gets rescued, and gets lucky.

My approach towards Kingsman is essentially "ALL THE HARRY!" (phrasing courtesy of

margrave), and this story had the most appealing Harry Hart. The Eggsy voice was excellent -- cheeky and competant and certain of himself -- but Harry was a joy. As charming and considerate as a gentleman should be, but there's also that sharp hint of humour and the very serious ability to fuck shit up when the need arises.

(Also: points for really good action scenes. I am terrible at action descriptions, and for a canon that has such clearly stylised violence, getting the action to be convincing, clear and vivid is an achievement.)
