fantastic_jackieBy my count, I should be on Day 19 today...
Day 13 - A fanfic
The Wayward Son by Mourning Ophelia
I know I've rec'ed this fic before, but it really is one of my absolute favorites of all time. It's definitely my favorite Zechs x Noin fanfic; it follows them from the time they meet at LVA to after EW. The history between them, the characterizations, the included analysis of Zechs... I don't necessarily agree entirely on her characterizations of Treize and Une, but they're still not remotely OOC. I could never, ever recommend it highly enough.
Day 14 - A song that makes you cry (or nearly)
The only two I can think of that consistently do that are the National Anthem and Taps. Line up some Service Men & Women, a few American flags, and some peaceful outside scenery - whether trees and sky, a cemetary, or a departing C-130 - and my throat will get taut... Oftentimes, the songs themselves will do it, too.
Day 15 - An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)
Uh... Online comic? I'm not much of an art person, but I do love the Phoenix Requiem by Sarah Ellerton.
The art is beautiful, as you'd see if you look even at just the first few pages, and the story is very intriguing. I should warn you before you click, though: though she's pretty far into the story, it's not finished, and she only updates 2 or 3 pages every week. It's well worth it, though - not only for the art, but also the novel itself.
