Kara Week--time to celebrate!!! and OMG!Leverage

[boomqueen]

Kara Fest is going on over at dionusia's so go show some love for our girl.

Here are my offerings to date, just in case this whole closing-on-the-house-tomorrow thing precludes any further fannish creations this week.

Crackpoems:
Kara, the Tyger - in which Kara pwns all manflesh. Based on the Tyger by William Blake.
"Whenas in tanks my Kara goes" and "Delight in disorder" - pilot-centric reworkings of two poems by Robert Herrick.

Vids:
Kara-centric
Bonafied Lovin - a smack-talking showdown between Anders and Lee. Either way Kara wins.
Push It - this is the noise that keeps Kara awake.
Bad Reputation - my obsession with Kara the screw-up and her pretty by toys knows no bounds.

Kara/Lee
Speed Racer - a crackvid where Kara is Speed Racer and Lee is Trixie.
Dangerous - it's dangerous, the way Kara leaves Lee wanting more
Sexy Back - Pilots are bringing sexy back
Someone That You're With - Lee has hilariously bad timing where Kara is concerned

Kara/Anders
Lie To Me - the bittersweet prettiness of Kara and Sam's relationship

Kara/Leoben
Pet - in which Kara is gorgeous and Leoben is really creepy (in an unsettlingly sexy kind of way...)

In other news, PEOPLE, please talk to me about the awesomeness of Leverage.

I love the snark, I love the thievery and I LOVELOVELOVE Eliot and Hardison. (speaking of, any one got recs for fic? I'll take anything but Eliot/Hardison sounds divine).

Re: Leverage...I know, eh? I'm personally all over Parker/Hardison but the common denominator here is the awesome of Hardison. Seriously, I think he's sleeping with the writers because he gets ALL the good lines.

I could totally see Parker/Hardison too. And he does get all the good lines! I kept pausing it and poking my hubby to make him listen to all the hilarious stuff Hardison was saying!

Leverage is fantastic! I'm so sad first season is over...but hurrah that it's coming back in the summer! The snark is off the charts. I'm shocked again and again by how genuinely funny this show is for a heist drama. And I love all the team members individually, but I absolutely love them all together most.

lyssie has written some Leverage fics but they're mostly about the girls. oxoniensis's most recent porn battle also had a Eliot/Parker/Hardison fic. Other than that I haven't seen much around.

I've only watched about half of the season so far, so I've still got plenty of snark ahead of me for now :)

And you're right about the team/cast. I love all of them as characters (well, except for the brunette--I just think she's kind of okay so far) but I REALLY love them as a team.

Thanks for the recs T! oxoniensis has been the facilitator of much awesome random fic over the years :)

I have not yet seen tonight's ep (work, once again getting in the way of fannishness!), but I looooooove it. Snarky goodness.

With-a-kay has some good snippets (eliot/hardison and parker/hardison and permutations thereof). Also, the Underwire Job (parker/hardison, but with bonus eliot & parker interaction!) is faaabulous.

Yay for snarky goodness! I've only watched a handful of episodes, but I recorded all the back eps during yesterday's marathon so I've got lots of snarky goodness to absorb :)

And OMG I love Chash (with-a-kay) so much!!!! How did I not notice she was writing Leverage too! That is soooooo insanely happy-making :) And yay for the other rec too--thanks baby D!

I am so sad that I watched the last Leverage tonight. Until summer anyway. It is so smart and fun and I have a new crush on Christian Kane, just another reason to watch Buffy so I can watch Angel. :) And I'm even listening to his band and I'm not so crazy that it's country but it's Christian Kane! Ah. :)

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

I'm so sad that it took me forever to wise up to Leverage! I could have been enjoying the Christian Kane and Aldis Hodge awesomeness for months!!!

And YES. Another reason to watch Angel! Although I have to admit that I'm enjoying him more as Eliot than I did as Lindsey Macdonald; it's a much more playful, tongue-in-cheek role. (Though he was definitely eye candy on Angel--there's some gorgeous stuff with him half-naked covered in body tattoos at some point that is just...guh).

I admit to downloading his country album to. House Rules is just such a fun song!

Okay, a show with Christian Kane and I've never heard of it, something is seriously wrong in the 'verse. Where do I find this show???

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

It's been on TNT so that why you might not have noticed it, but I totally recommend downloading all of S1, or renting/buying it when it comes out on DVD. I think you'd really enjoy it :)
