extemporallyAs I am currently dealing with severe undermotivation and some substantial procrastination.
Wish Orbs Are Serious Lumping Business; Or, Donna Meagle Gets a Concussion - Adventure Time, Parks and Recreation
"When it comes down to it, Pawnee is pretty much like Lumpy Space, but with better malls."
OH MY GLOB, THIS IS AMAZING. My second-favourite character from Adventure Time (Lumpy Space Princess; my favourite is BMO) and one of the best most underused characters (Donna Fucking Meagle) from Parks & Rec? TOMHAVERFORDEXCITEDFACE.GIF. This is one of the wittiest, sweetest, and most on-it / true-to-canon crossovers ever. I'm not sure what else to say. Run, don't walk.
talk to your friends, talk to my friends - Parks and Recreation, Ben/Leslie
"Ben needs some good, solid advice from a rational human being.
Too bad he's in Pawnee."
ADVICE MONTAGE MINI-DOCUMENTARY THAT TURNS SWEET AT THE END RUN DON'T WALK ETC STOP
Up and Over We Go - Parks and Recreation, Ben/Leslie
Seriously, what is with the Parks & Rec section of Yuletide 2012 and the way it's just so constantly killing it?! "The first time he sees Leslie's house, Ben suddenly understands that they're going to have to make a regular choice about where to spend their time: the frat house from hell where his roommates have a bizarre set of rules and no sense of appropriate behavior, or the hoarder house from hell where he's genuinely afraid of being crushed by a falling stack of Tiger Beat and Economist back issues."
COMIC TIMINGGG
Shipmates - Hark! A Vagrant, Brigand/Nemesis
The Hark! A Vagrant stuff that comes out of Yuletide is always so unfailingly hilarious and farcical and sweet, much like its canon. :D This is a story about the Captain & his (homoerotically-motivated) nemesis!
Reasons Why Lizzie Bennet Is Perpetually Single: A Helpful List Compiled by Her Awesomer, Sexier, Totes Adorbs and Amazing Younger Sister - Lizzie Bennett Diaries
I don't have to talk about how LBD was the breakout fandom of the year, right? It sure feels like that! (I mean the Avengers doesn't count, we are talking niche here.) This is a sweet and hilarious and totally perceptive fic-via-list about Lizzie & Lydia's relationship, and my favourite item is the second to last.
Never Mind the Bitemarks - Never Mind the Buzzcocks RPF
HOW CAN YOU NOT CLICK ON A FIC CALLED NEVER MIND THE BITEMARKS. I don't even know this fandom except I know Simon Amstell is a cool dude. Anyway: zombiefic at its hilarious best!
In other news todayoliphaunts and I were talking about the upcoming BBC adaptation of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (WHO IS EXCITED ABOUT THAT, CERTAINLY NOT ME, IT'S NOT ME GETTING ALL OVERHEATED OVER HERE AND PASSING OUT IN A FAINT) and then she said, "Idris Elba should play Stephen Black!" and then I passed out forever, the end.

“Yes, he was my friend,” the captain said. His face darkened. “But he used the battle, the smoke and confusion, to slip away. He stowed away aboard the pirate ship, and never told me. I thought he’d been killed! I felt — well, never mind how I felt.”

Funny thing, for future reference: if you happen to ring the police as you run for your life — just to let them know that there's an army of zombies in the BBC Centre, and it'd be grand if they could pop by — they're not all that eager to help.
