Hands

Two completely different fandoms, but one glorious kink: hands. Most of you on my list are fans of one of these fandoms or the other, but may I strongly suggest that you all try reading BOTH of these:

In the HP inspired Play It Again by kabeyk, Sirius gets all hot and bothered at the sight of Remus's hands: playing the piano, fiddling around with rings, and most of all, touching himself or Sirius. (And I get all hot and bothered along with him.)

In The Charioteer inspired Hands Clasping by poicale, it's Laurie getting all hot and bothered at the sight or touch of Ralph's hand. (For those of you who've never read The Charioteer you need to know that Ralph's hand was disfigured when he was wounded in WWII. He's missing some fingers, and the palm is an inch narrower than it should be.) This one leaves me feeling all warm and fuzzy.

Both of these stories have been around for a while, but I recently reread one and was inspired to post this joint recommendation.

Vampire Detective...hmm, sounds familiar

Does anyone else think the new tv series Moonlight seems a bit too much like the old tv series Forever Knight? One is about a vampire named Nick who works as a homocide detective to attone for his past sins and falls for a mortal woman. The other is about a vampire named Mick who works as a private detective to attone for his past sins and falls for a mortal woman. Can you even tell which sentence applies to which show?

(Or have I just dated myself horribly by admitting that I remember the earlier of these two shows?)

I've got to say that I loved the character of Lacroix on Forever Knight. He was the kind of character you love to hate--and then he'd turn around and do something halfway decent and confuse the hell out of you.
