Arts recs (and a fic too)

Has everyone seen this?



Isn't it beautiful?! It's by quickreaver. The original post is here, A Deliberate Life.

I absolutely love the way it captures Sam. It makes me what to cry and smile at the same time. There's an inner peace that Sam struggles to find and I can see him taking this time out to heal his heart and soul. It's such a beautiful candid moment. And I love the beer by his side. I just want to sit and stare at this forever *guh* (and hence the icon I made - I want to see keep seeing it).

It's from a lovely prompt by de_nugis for the ohsam comment meme.



amber1960 has created some striking art for the prompt: The Alpha vampire makes good on his threat to come back for Sam. Any season, any co-star... (Of course, art is invited!) Oh man, Sam's eyes...(and now I want the story! The alpha!vamp was such a great character).

I also love her delightful fic with a a range of characters helping Sam celebrating his birthday. Uplifting. :)

chomaisky has created a delicious pic that features FBI Sam with short hair! Shorter Hair. Still Pretty. I adore Sam's flowing locks, but this makes me think I would also love it short!

There's other works I still need to check out and lots and LOTS of amazing prompts.

Can I steal your icon, if you and quickreaver don't mind?

Fine by me! In my comment to QR I mentioned I'd like to make an icon (and screen saver and print one out so I could stare at it forever and ever.) and she said she was happy for me to do that - so I'm sure it would be ok. :)

Thanks! And, btw, you linked to oh_sam, the cracky Frodo/Sam Gamgee comm -- the hurt Sam W is ohsam with no space. /has made that mistake a time or six

Haha! Oh dammit. I've done that SO many times! Thanks.
