A/N: Another comment_fic prompt that ran away from me: Author's choice, author's choice, mercy unlooked for and an enemy's grace This movie is one of my main guilty pleasures and I've been shipping these two like burning since ... 9th grade? 10th grade? High time I wrote something for them!

( Barely even slash, really )

So, Happy Viking ...

How come you're not all watching him? *glares meaningfully*

I just found out on his facebook page that I was the only non-reviewer who recognized him. This cannot stand! He has a great sense of humor, is adorable, talks positively and fairly about metal bands, has done a crossover with Diamanda Hagan, and oh, did I mention he's pro-LGBT rights and once opened a video talking about how people like the Westboro Baptist Church disgust him so much he has to go listen to happy music to cheer up after they've been on the news?

I watch him HERE on Blip, but he's on RVT too, though I hear there's some vague issues with management over there that got alluded to during MAGFest panels, so support him at Blip if that's an issue for you. 

Also, he very apt to interact with you on Facebook or in the comments. 

And he hugged me at MAGFest. So ... yeah.

Watch this man's show. Get your friends to watch his show. And write more fanfic about him! Spread the word any way you can!


This has been me shamelessly promoting a reviewer I think Needs More Love. I don't think I've ever blatantly done this, but I'm doing it now. For this guy. Because he freakin' deserves it. All the reviewers I've loved in the past already had big fanbases and view counts, this guy needs more attention.
