Rec of the day

INSTA-rec:
Second Mouse by [archiveofourown.org profile] AlphaFlyer (Avengers/Skyfall)
(eta: and check out the artwork by [personal profile] inkvoices!)
Gen; Barton & Bond, Natasha (and Coulson, Moneypenny, Fury, M, Q); casefic/crossover/action/spies and secret agents; teen; 36862 words
Summary: "The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese." (Aldrich Killian)
When HYDRA is suspected to be carrying out illicit activities in Scotland, SHIELD and MI-6 are asked to cooperate. Two covert agencies on the same turf -- Barton & Bond, Fury & M, Coulson & Moneypenny -- what could possibly go wrong? (Oh, and who exactly does the gorgeous redhead work for?)

A fun crossover with a well-thought-out plot and great character interaction between the two canons. (No knowledge of Skyfall canon necessary; I haven't see the movie myself.)

“That supposed to mean something to me, Ma’am, double-oh?”
“It means, Mr. Barton, that Commander Bond has a license to kill.”
“You’re shitting me. You need a license for that here?”

No new SHIELD tonight. Bugger.

I just renewed my paid account once more. I had considered letting it lapse back but I hadn't realized free accounts can only track up to 25 threads or people. That would seriously mess with my reading of f_fa so I shelled out the 20 bucks. Well, I would've missed my userpics too. And all my images are stored on scrapbook so I don't mind paying a bit for that alone. Just hope they won't do something stupidly undiplomatic again.

I've let my LJ paid account lapse and am missing the icons and the tracking (though I follow kink memes less now than a while ago), but it made no difference for scrapbook, because they increased the free capacity so much that even with over a thousand pics I'm nowhere near the limit for free users which is 1GB.
