why the heeeeeat, sydney

My list of books read so far in the month of November:

- E.M. Forster, Howards End
- Diana Wynne Jones, Howl's Moving Castle
- Tony Kushner, Angels in America
- Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, Good Omens

I may as well put a big sign on my head saying FAHYE IS SICK AND INSOMNIAC. That's like. All of my comfort books devoured in less than two weeks. (Except Larklight, which is in Canberra.)

Now all I have to do is watch Amelie & Strictly Ballroom and I will have completely run out of things-which-cheer-me-up. Maybe I will watch Hairspray tonight. For the millionth time.

Seriously, this sucks. I have had to invent a new tag for my delicious account: pie.fic

It needs more entries. Which fics do you reread over and over again when you need to be cheered up?

I've read Healing Station Argh (http://toft-froggy.livejournal.com/376385.html), like, five billion times; also My Home and Native Land. (http://community.livejournal.com/i_defeated_sga/11675.html#cutid1) Outside of Stargate, I go on doyle_sb4 whofic binges fairly often, and I'm a big fan of a cup of hot chocolate and the Yuletide Quicksearch List -- the Buried Treasure Racket (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/30/theburied.html) (the Sting), Noir Enough (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/23/noirenough.html) (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), Those Who Stand For Nothing (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/31/thosewho.html) (Alexander Hamilton/Thomas Jefferson).

It goes without saying that eyai fic have been a staple of this for some time now ... :)

her stuff: http://noiresensus.com/authors/a_libertine.html
especially 'the snitch sequence', but not the arc actually titled 'the snitch'. that one one can skip.
it is pre-book 4, long and hilarious, and has the best lucius malfoy ever.

huh, how did I miss this post?

I read this (http://kabeyk.livejournal.com/40911.html) ('Perfect', by kabeyk, Sirius/James) over and over again when I need cheering up. It doesn't cheer me up, but I read it compulsively anyway. Possibly that counts as wallowing.

Shoebox is usually a better idea, but it's down.

If I need something to make me giggle and feel better about the world, I read this (http://xxlucyferxx.livejournal.com/10857.html). Regularly. ('Why Narnia Is Not Ruled By Republicans', xxlucyferxx)

Or things by Celandine (http://community.livejournal.com/cels_fic_haven/tag/narnia+fic+caspian/edmund).
