incomplete phelps/lochte rec list

Sports Make You Health
an untitled and painfully hilarious WIP about which I will not say anything other than, well, the tag

by dee_lirious:
put your circuits in the sea

by dancinbutterfly:
False Start


plus BONUS FIC written, like, two days ago:

YOU ARE A GENIUS

THANK YOU I'M FLATTERED

OMG THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED :O

I discovered a Michael Phelps fangirl in me a few days ago O.O she just popped out of nowhere. and then I got a massive craving for Phlocte for some reason. even though I don't even like Ryan Lochte.

my recs - all from surfing the Lochte tag on AO3 :P you gotta love those tags.

At Least the Water's Beneath Your Chin
move, but stand in place

thank you for these! :D I will be a very happy person for...however long it takes to read these.

Yay, I'm glad it's going to good use! thanks so much for the links - I haven't yet read any of the newer fic aka anything written since about... 2009, so these are great. :D

[ex_sparksfly744]

no probs :)

btw, do you know if there's a swim slash comm?

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

there are a couple but it looks like neither have been updated in several years - i think your best bet is probably olympic_slash, which is mostly swimming. :)

[ex_sparksfly744]

thank you :DDDDD

I swear, I thought I'd have an only passing interest in the Olympics but now I'm all obsessed. and when I like something, I automatically want to read fanfiction of it. *sigh* slash takes over your brain.

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

ahahahaha I understand completely, I'm shipping basically everything that comes on the screen. it's so great.

[ex_sparksfly744]

oops, I just noticed I am blind and gave you recs that you already have here -.- I have moments when my mental retardation come through.

this is completely random but KOHEI UCHIMURA IS SO PRETTY ♥♥♥

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

hee, no, just the first one -- I totally added winning rights as soon as I read it thanks to your comment. :D

UCHIMURA-SAN. I love him! I'm watching the NBC broadcast right now -- I hear he medals but I don't know which one it will be. eeee!

[ex_sparksfly744]

I think you'll be very happy :DDD

I heard how he messed up something 4 years ago (no idea why I didn't watch men's gymnastics then, grr) and then he took a picture of his silver medal and kept it as his cell phone screenshot to motivate himself. poor bb :( I heard he fell on the pommel horse and on something else? it seems so unlike him.

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

yay!! aww, that was great. i approve of this podium in all ways.

[ex_sparksfly744]

his expression is totally yayy look at me - I'm a gold medallist





so. cute. ♥

[dreamofthem.livejournal.com]

Can I just sit here and laugh? Not in a mean way, just in a 'i love the internet' way. People watching something and then all simultaneously sort of side-eyeing each other like "sooooo....... there's fic, right?" is something that constantly delights me.

In other news, say I was to just read one of these, which would it be?

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

hmmmmmmm. if you want to go heavy on the bff/bro-ing, probably one of the fics by hackthis; otherwise i would be hard put to choose between canarycreams and lifescript... i would try one and if it doesn't seem like your thing move on to the other.

[portions-forfox.livejournal.com]

I NEEDED THIS! Thank you so, so much for this list.

*scurries off to read*

PS. did you know there's an olympics rpf ficathon going on right now? there've been some truly awesome fills

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

You're so welcome! No, I had no idea -- where would I look for that? I would love to read some current fic. :D

[portions-forfox.livejournal.com]

It's right here (http://lyrics-soul.livejournal.com/10880.html)! I particularly recommend this (http://lyrics-soul.livejournal.com/10880.html?thread=19840#t19840) awesome college AU drabble, and this (http://lyrics-soul.livejournal.com/10880.html?thread=39808&#t39808) awesome fill someone did for me!! The dialogue on the second one is like out of this world good.
