Two fic recs

Ummm...yeah. I've spent the entire evening, once Baby Mousie went to bed, reading fic. More specifically, Finnick/Annie fic. No surprise there - if you know my preferences, you know I'd be all over that ship like a loon.

Anywho, here are two Finnick/Annie fic recs - both long and both are R/NC-17 for pretty obvious reasons.

Treading Water by the awesome [livejournal.com profile] sabaceanbabe. She used to write awesome Farscape stuff and I am glad to see she's just as good in other fandoms.

Scylla and Charybdis by [livejournal.com profile] puella_nerdii (who wins for the most awesome user name ever. Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] littledelusion, for the link).

This reminds me. How do I go about downloading fic on my Kindle?

EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Thank you so much for the rec! :D

As for downloading to your Kindle, for mine, I either download from AO3 if the fic is available there, because it can be downloaded as a .mobi file. Otherwise, I try to save the fic as a PDF and Kindle has a way to email the PDF to yourself via your Amazon Kindle account so that it can be converted to a Kindle-usable file. It works, but the formatting is sometimes a little off. All of the files I've downloaded from AO3 have worked like a charm.

Scylla and Charybdis and A View From the Lists (I think that's the name of the sequel) are fabulous.

It is such a wonderful fic, I thought the more people knew, the better.

Re: AO3. excellent! Your fic was the one I wanted and I know it's on AO3. I'll be trying it out this weekend!

There is a sequel to S&C?! There goes my free time!

I just put together a quick fic rec post for you here, which includes a link to it. :)

If I can't dl a .mobi from A03, I make a .pdf (google docs will do this if you don't have any other way) and drag/drop or c&p into the documents folder of Kindle since it will read .pdfs. When I do this, I try to enlarge the text so it's more readable. I've been reading all my fic on my Kindle for the last year and a half, and it works a charm, esp. for long fics.

That's great. Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it! It's the fic that took me from extreme interest to extreme shipping obsessio.

I am still working through it, but yes, awesome

THANK YOU.

These two are my sole OTP for the Hunger Games (I started out liking Peeta/Katniss but in the end found I didn't really care?). I love them so much, and yes, particularly for the angst/tragedy of it all.

Glad you like! These were a total (but great) timewaster last evening.

Yup, they are my sole OTP. I never got convinced Katniss was in love with Peeta.
