Staring Through the Demons, bexless's sequel to her I Have Been All Things Unholy--which is epic in its own right--is up. And amazing. I'm a little blown away right now, having just read Part II in its entirety in one sitting, and just...fuck.

newredshoes, it's like when I read your Athens fic all in one go. Only a little bit moreso, because the ending is more of a beginning and there's still more to come. Jesus Christmas. I need to go lie down.

...okay, not really because I'm already reclining in bed with the laptop. But I'm tapped out for the night, I can't go read bookishy's vampire book now (even though it is AWESOME) because I am too drained. Angsted out.

Damn.

GOD DAMMIT WHY DID YOU POST THIS WHEN I HAVE TO FINISH READING SOME STANLEY FISH ARTICLE ABOUT PARADISE REGAINED??????

AUGH FAITH IT IS SO GOOD

I mean, it'll still be there in the morning when you have finished with Stanley Fish. And you definitely can't just start it and come back to it later. What time do you have class tomorrow?

[route52.livejournal.com]

Ok, so I read it even though I should have been reading like school work, and uh, holy crap. HOLY CRAP.

Bandslash trumps vampires. Always. Now as to what trumps bandslash . . . I can't even fathom.

[e-clare.livejournal.com]

But vampires still win in life! Because I can read them on the subway, and bandslash...I cannot.

Okay, seriously, you are not allowed to lure me into new ANYTHING.

...

No, seriously.

Does your "..." mean you clicked the link? Because I think it might...

Part 1 (http://www.waxjism.org/bex/b07_unholy.html) (which stands on its own so, so well!): Hot tattoos! Hot research skills! Hot-ass priest and a dog-loving but dogless protagonist! A side of general hilarity to go with your (slightly upsetting) case of stigmata! And also, there's this excerpt:

Frank shook his head. "So tell me - if you're a priest and you're not giving sermons, what do you do?"

"I'm an investigator for the Vatican," Gerard said, all off-hand like I'm a plumber or whatever. "You know, if people think they saw a miracle."

Frank was actually impressed, but he tried not to show it. "Like statues of Jesus crying blood?"

"More like the Virgin Mary's face appearing on a piece of toast in Maine," Gerard smiled. "I was only ordained five years ago, so my assignments are pretty low-key. Most of the really crazy stuff happens in South America, for some reason."

Frank nodded. "You ever see a real one?"

Gerard grinned. "South American?"

"Miracle," Frank said, rolling his eyes.

Gerard shook his head. "So far," he said wistfully, "It's always just been toast."
