My first meme in about a year, but it's high time I updated my "to do" list. Blame
duck_or_rabbit for seducing me into it. ;)
1) List 5 celebrities you would have sex with without even asking questions.
2) Put all of them IN ORDER of your lust for them [5 - 1, 1 is the hottest].
3) Say which movie/show/thing it was that hooked you.
4) Supply photos for said people.
5) Tag five people. I hardly dare tag anyone, because I haven't responded to a tag in a very long time, lol. BUT if you want to do this meme, do it! Doooo eeeeeet. Participants might include (but are not limited to)
mrstater,
hrymfaxe,
ladybracknell,
gilpin25,
godricgal,
shimotsuki,
javidan,
vnfan,
lillbet, and
jadeddiva.

Title: Helpless (Part 6 of A Change of Heart)
Author:
bratanimus
Rating: PG-13 for this chapter, R for some others
Spoilers: This story was begun post-Eclipse, my vision of Breaking Dawn. First person Edward POV.
Warnings: Mild sensuality.
Pairings: Edward/Bella, all other canon pairings
Word Count: 7,353
Summary: Now I knew what it was to have something I’d wished for come true: fulfillment comes at a price. Anyone who’s ever read any fairy tale knows that.
Author’s Note: My sincere apologies for the LONG delay between chapters five and six. I promise that real life gave me a really, really good excuse (*coughbabycough*). ;) Anyhow, if you’re still following it, this is part six of my story, A Change of Heart. Prior chapters and summaries:
Chapter 1 (Intention) – The Volturi crash Bella’s and Edward’s wedding day.
Chapter 2 (Consummation) – The wedding night and bite.
Chapter 3 (For Good) – Bella’s transformation.
Chapter 4 (Mastered) – Bella’s post-change gift.
Chapter 5 (Released) – Bella’s first hunt (and other urges).
And the newest, Chapter 6 (Helpless) – Bella faces dark feelings about her new self.
Thanks for reading and for your comments. :)

Harry Potter Fic: The Scientific Method
Title: The Scientific Method
Author:
bratanimus
Summary: Lily/Remus, Sirius, Lily POV. Sixth-year Lily doesn’t know what to do with her libido, which seems to be turning her into a monster. "Scientific method. Chaos theory. Primitive urges mixed with firewhiskey. And choices disguised as fate."
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Language, sexual innuendo
Word Count: 5,958
Author’s Note: Written for the 2007 Tales of Sin and Virtue challenge at
redandthewolf. My prompts were a Björk song, first instinct, and greed. To me, the song seems an ode to the body, to the irrepressible sexual instinct, and that inspired this fic. “I'm a path of cinders/Burning under your feet/You're the one who walks me/I'm your one-way street.”

Harry Potter Fic: Nothing But Fighting
Title: Nothing But Fighting
Author:
bratanimus
Summary: Remus/Lily, set during their sixth year at Hogwarts. Merlin, why hadn’t James told him how much fun fighting with Lily was?
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Language, sexual innuendo
Word Count: 4,128
Author’s Note: Written in 2007 for the Tales of Sin and Virtue challenge at
redandthewolf, this fic was later graciously recommended by
duck_or_rabbit over at Coffee and Chocolate. My prompts for the LJ challenge were a Decemberists’ song, first fight, and lust. The fic doesn’t really have anything to do with the song as a whole, but that particular line inspired this story of awakening: “And all the stars were crashing 'round/As I laid eyes on what I'd found.”

Harry Potter Fic: Breathless
Title: Breathless
Author:
bratanimus
Rating & Warnings: PG for sexual innuendo
Word Count: 1,552
Summary: Tonks is claustrophobic. Remus sighed, reflecting that Tonks looked a bit like an angry, yellow dragon in this state. Then he wondered why he found it such a turn on.
Author’s Notes: Written in 2006, this story was inspired by a strange dream I had about a bunker created by Dumbledore, and which
gilpin25 suggested I turn into my first one-shot. Thanks for the idea!

Harry Potter Fic: Stars in My Fists, Moon Round My Wrists
Title: Stars in My Fists, Moon Round My Wrists
Author:
bratanimus
Rating & Warnings: PG for sexual innuendo
Prompts: Christmas dinner (with a turkey or a goose) and a knitted jumper or hat
Word Count: 721
Summary: Christmas during HBP. After the Burrow, against his better judgment, Remus goes to Tonks’ flat.
Author’s Notes: Written for the Christmas fic challenge, December 2006. If anyone was looking for a heavy dose of Christmas angst, look no further. ;) For the purposes of this fic, I’ve decided to play with first person present tense and train of thought from Remus’ point of view. I also wanted to toy with rhythm of language and give Remus a bit of poetry in his expression. The italics represent his internal dialogue. This is a departure from my usual style, so I’d be interested to see if you think it works or not!

Harry Potter Fic: Fortune's Fool
Title: Fortune's Fool
Author:
bratanimus
Rating & Warnings: PG
Word Count: 1,695
Summary: “I guarantee you there’s no Seer here. For Entertainment Purposes Only, like the sign says.” For a laugh, Remus and Tonks visit a fortune teller. A companion piece to A Star Danced.
Author’s Notes: Written in 2006, this was a scene that I (and
gilpin25, who commented on it in her review on another website) wished I could have included in chapter one of A Star Danced; but the pace of the chapter demanded that I leave it out. I’ve reworked it a bit so that hopefully it stands on its own. Hope you enjoy!

I'm so glad we are friends! Your wit and insight on all things real life and fictional always shed a better light on the subject. Thank Dylan for his nap, which let me make a few icons for you. ;)
Happy Birthday! *hugs*

I dropped off Baby Brat for his first Mom's Morning Out today (*sniffle*), and what am I doing? Making icons, lol. But what better occasion than
mrstater's birthday? ♥
We've been pals for a long time and I always love our chats, whether they be fanfic or mommy-centered. You're going to be a great mother, and now you've got a good start on some appropriately weird icons to honor the little guy. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! *hugs* :D

Because you are awesome, here is a (tiny) snippet of chapter 6 of A Change of Heart. God only knows when I will get the doggone thing posted, but perhaps I can tease everyone with a snippet here, a snippet there, for the next year or so. ;)
Seriously, you are amazing and I'm so happy to call you my friend. I hope you have a wonderful, sparkly day. Dazzle us silly. Get glamourous. You deserve it. :D
( Like every young man ... )

True Blood fans, have you seen the fake vampire news, Blood Copy? This "commercial" cracked me up:
BTW, some of you know I used to act. Well, the actress in the "commercial" is the wife of an old friend of mine. I have another friend who auditioned for one of the American Vampire League commercials, but unfortunately she didn't get it. Apparently the website is doing LOTS of commercials, so hopefully my pals will get some gigs!
Inspired, clever, and sweet. :)
- Last weekend in NYC, a ten-year-old kid wearing an orange life jacket was singing The Phantom of the Opera at the top of his lungs while in a canoe as his mom and dad paddled them underneath the bridge in Central Park. Ah, theatre geeks. I love ya.
- RPattz thinks his head is flat and his hands effeminate. I love sexy men who are also clueless about their sexiness.
- Eric Northman. (I'm not done reading the new Sookie Stackhouse book, so DON'T SPOIL ME PLEASE!)
- Coffee. Coffee. Coffee.
- Shorts that fit, and comfy sandals. It feels like summertime here.
- I'm a mom on Mother's Day. I got a dozen red roses from Mr Brat. He is the best. :D
- My baby snores. His skin is all glowy, like he's lit from within. He smiles a lot. My heart melts every day. I can't read a book to him without getting all teary-eyed. :)
- Concealer.
- The knowledge that I get to see
hrymfaxe when we visit family in Denmark later this year. :D - A good glass of wine in the evening.
- Teh awesomest flist evar. I miss you guys. *hugs*
In no particular order, these are some things that make me happy:
Though with our new baby I am woefully out of touch with LJ at the moment, I figure there must be some sort of happy meme going around the flist, right? And this video has made me happy for years. Watch the WHOLE THING. DO IT. You will thank me later.
I dare you not to try to poplock.
