Fic Rec: In Perfect Trust by Mijan

I read the most amazingly intense fic recently and I had to rec it.  OK, it was like 2 weeks ago, but better a late rec than never, right?  My thanks to emiliglia  and weepingnaiad  for the fantastic rec!

In Perfect Trust by mijan : 
Kirk/McCoy, Star Trek Reboot, fic, NC-17.  Warnings: BDSM, Medical kink, sounding, needleplay.  Intense kink here, bbs!

Summary:"Everything feels just... it's like I'm itching for something that I can't quite scratch. So I wanted something that could… snap me out of that. Feel like I'm trying something new and dangerous.
It certainly wasn't how Leonard McCoy had ever hoped to discover Jim's more unusual sexual interests, but now that he knew, he wasn't going to let the opportunity slip for either of them... if Jim trusted him enough.

This is one gorgeous fic.  Seriously, I can't even tell you. The trust, it's one of the most beautiful, intense things I've read in a while. I was uncertain in the beginning, very much like Jim, because I've read very little medical kink and I didn‘t know where mijan was going to go with it. But the sensations were incredible, just incredible, and probably intensified by those very feelings of nerves and uncertainty.  This fic was everything I never knew I wanted from these kinks!

Mijan did a wonderful job of showing the logic and thought process behind the things going on in the fic, but also describing the uncertainty and sensations in such a way that I felt them too.  It was as though Mijan was guiding me through these unknown kinks with the information I needed to trust enough to let go and enjoy, while still allowing me to experience the fear of the unknown.  It was actually the perfect read for how stressed I've been feeling lately.  It made me forget about everything and just experience the story.

Also, the kink was written so that it fit surprisingly well with their personalities. I could really see Jim responding like this, getting off on this. It seems to really explain some things about Jim and Bones in the new movie - more discussion from mijan in my comments here, after you''ve read the fic.  I really appreciated the way these unusual desires and activities were woven into the characters as I know and love them, and felt so organic to them.  This fic is perfect for BDSM readers who like to really push the envelope, but still want realistic fic that is safe, sane and consensual.

Now I need to follow this up by reading Blissfully So, weepingnaiad 's sounding fic for km_anthology !

Movies: The Price of Milk and Doom reviews

Well, more like my quick thoughts on them.

The Price of Milk

Absurd: Yes

Quirky: Hell yes

Adorable: Yes

I loved Karl in this, he was just adorable.  Especially in the beginning when they are all in love, and especially in the opening credits when he's sleeping with that ridiculous bed head.  I LOVED the bit with her swimming in the milk.  His face when he found her was priceless, and then got mad at her, then jumped in with her, and it was just the cutest thing ever.  And I think that might have actually been his butt.  I mean, that's a pretty small tank, how many grown men can you hide in it?  The whole befuddled, unlucky in love thing looked good on him, poor thing, but I'm glad it ended well for them.

Plus, I squeed when I saw Fran Walsh was a script consultant.  I guess that's the beauty of watching films from a small country, there is bound to be some overlap.

Doom

Yeah, Karl with a big ass gun fucking shit up works for me.  I really liked him in this- it was a hell of a contrast from Milk.  He looked good and his acting with 'Samantha' was realistic and the best part of the movie.  Well, other than stuff blowing up it was really the only part of the movie, so they carried it well.  I also liked Rosamund Pike as his sister.  I thought she was quite believable, and it was fun to put more of a face to the actress who has been 'cast' as Nurse Chapel for the McChapel team on Ship Wars.  The Rock was fun to watch too, and I like his larger-than-life personality.  It was good to see the origin of all those Reaper!Bones fics, although I think I've only read, like, one of them.  Doom and Trek make an interesting crossover, one that I think actually works well.  Doom isn't the greatest movie ever made, but it was pretty good entertainment.

There you have it.  I have a class for half a day tomorrow, and then more studying.  And then reading and voting on the Jones fics.
