And by the way, not to change the subject, but how are we supposed to have any moral credibility when we talk about gun control and making sure that guns don't get in the hands of the wrong people? God, Nancy! What the hell are we defining as the *right* people?

( 'Oh, Holy Interruptus, Batman!' )

The West Wing is not a canon I am particularly fannish about! If anyone has any CJ-centric recs, please leave them below.

Month of Awesome Women, week two:

Martha Jones | Kaylee Frye | Cara Mason | Jennifer Keller | Guinevere | Jadzia Dax | Olivia Dunham

Luna did not seem perturbed by Ron's rudeness; on the contrary, she simply watched him for a while as though he were a mildly interesting television program.

( 'Don't worry, you're just as sane as I am.' )

Rec: Not A Necklace by snegurochka_lee (Ginny/Luna)
Asking Luna Lovegood if she would be willing to break a few rules was something like asking a Puffskein if it would be willing to have a go on the dance floor, Ginny decided early in their sixth year at school: in both cases, you would be asking the wrong question.

Don't mistake a new face for a new soul.

( 'I guess you boys from temporal investigations are always on time!' )

Rec: Old Man by snow
Prompt: "the Trills' relationship with gender is ... complex." Written for LGBTfest.

" I just haven't been sleeping very well. This whole being in control thing kind of makes me anxious."

( 'I appreciate you trying to lie to me.' )

Rec: Let It Grow by bluflamingo (Keller/Vega, Cadman/Brown)
In which Jennifer works through her own sexual identity, Katie and Laura get back together after all, and Alicia and Laura bond over the perils of being queer in the US military, and why exactly both their girlfriends have been interested in Rodney McKay; au for season 5

"Oh, well, let's see. We killed Simon and River, stole a bunch of medicine, and now the Captain 'n' Zoe are off springing the others got snatched by the Feds!"

( 'No power in the 'verse can stop me.' )

(You Are) Wishbones and the Axis by musesfool (River/Kaylee/Mal)
River thinks the shift to a pas de trois can be accomplished smoothly, if only Mal will cooperate.

"I've been taking computers apart since I was like, six."

( 'I speak five languages, but I don't speak Walter.' )

I don't have a fanwork rec for Astrid! Sadface! Please rectify in the comments if you have links to hand. I do however recommend Jasika Nicole's tumblr, sugar booty, where she posts art and answers fan questions and talks about queer activism sometimes and in general is amazing.

"Oh, you better remember me like your life depends on it!"

( 'Why don't you take a closer look?' )

Rec: Imagine the Ocean by damkianna
Hakoda found the boy in the ice eight days before Kya went into labor. Avatar!Katara AU.

Note: this is a WIP but it's already extremely long and extremely good. And I actually just realised that it's recently been updated, hurrah!

"You all right?"

"I'm running around in a wedding dress with what feels like a keg of lager stuck up my skirt."

( 'What do you think?' )

Rec: The Joy of Cooking (or Gwen and the Big Huge Cooking Fiasco) by pocky_slash
In which Gwen sets fires and puts them out, both metaphorically and literally.
