I've got ham, but I'm not a hamster

I committed not-fiction, because I am avoiding PhD work (as you do), which you can find over on ao3.

Title: In Love and War
Fandom: 1D/Radio One RPF (I know)
Pairings: OT5, Nick Grimshaw/Harry Styles, Liam Payne/Zayn Malik, with Nick/Liam, Harry/Louis, Nick/Harry/Liam, and background Nick/Harry/Liam/Louis, Harry/Zayn, OT5+1. BASICALLY A GIANT POLY MESS, OK.
Summary: This was born in the doze between hitting snooze the second and third time one morning several weeks ago. All it was, to start with, was Harry and Nick running around Blitz/blackout London, holding hands and giggling, going from club to club to sing and party and cheat death. It kind of grew massively from there, to take in all of the Second World War - no one's in the armed services, everyone's still a performer for ENSA (Entertainments National Service Association) except for Nick, who works at the BBC - and the postwar period besides.

Many many thanks to all those who audienced, including toomuchplor (despite it not being her fandom AT ALL), justchelle who convinced me of Liam/Zayn, Eloise who cheerlead-ed formidably and Shai for helping me with Louis. Thanks too to sunsetmog for the flail, and to harriet_vane for reading through the final version and deeming it post-able. Finally, thanks too to Laura, for being there when I woke up to hear my dream, and for being enthusiastic all the way through. Could not have done it without you all. <3

Reminder: this is notfic/chatfic!

So, having been to see Tinker Tailor on the weekend, and having now devoured the book, I seem to be rewriting the book (in bits!) to reflect movie canon for Peter Guillam.

THIS IS MY RETURN TO FIC. LORD HELP ME.

Also, does anyone want to talk to me about it? *winning smile*

This follows on from bossymarmalade and gyzym's posts yesterday, with awesome music by awesome women. I felt moved to do the same today. THIS TOOK FOREVER. But I'm glad I did it!

( 50 tracks, 50 women )

So in the midst of all my myriad papers and scholastic nonsense toomuchplor cheered me by writing Under the Steinway.

Well.

She's so fucking awesome she KEEPS WRITING in this verse, and has now produced 24k of Arthur and Eames at college in New England as bb!music students. And it's unbelievably good. I have flailed and laughed and cried while she pasted all of it in bits and pieces at me as I was writing away, and I am so stupidly in love with this fic, this universe. If you care about music at all, you should def read this.

Ach, des Knaben Augen - their love is so lieder, you guys. Go, read, tell her she's awesome, because she really really is.

Okay, so I'm getting close to the end of a rly hellish end of term... thing, and one of the last things I have to do is a presentation tomorrow in class, and what do you know, I can't find any youtube videos that I need for it.

So, dear flist (and anyone else who's come along), can you help?

CAN YOU PLS DROP ME VIDEO LINKS TO ANY FORM OF STAGE GAY YOU CAN THINK OF, ANY TIME, ANY ARTIST?

I mean My Chem, them Panics at the Disco, Bowie, Springsteen, Prince, Muddy Waters, WHOEVER. Any and all examples gratefully sought! If you have knowledgeable people on your flist, I would be SO GRATEFUL if you could link them to me, or if you can think of somewhere comm-wise that it would be useful for me to post this self-same request, I WILL KISS YOUR FEET or DO YOUR DISHES or SOMETHING ELSE EQUALLY HUMBLY GRATEFUL.

I remain, yrs hopefully and faithfully,

One Stressed Grad Student.
