oh fantastic

[fahye]

SURE, UNIVERSE, TAKE MY HEALTH, I WASN'T USING THAT FOR ANYTHING.

I have neither Strepsils nor the energy to walk to any place that might sell me Strepsils :( White tea and napping away my Friday afternoon it is, then.

With any luck I will be able to attend _leareth's election party tomorrow without feeling like I am choking on steel wool.

Oh, oh: I am frustrated at the number of times I have read absolutely everything in my pie.fic tag (you know, the stories you turn to when you are upset or feel like death warmed up) so I would like recs for fics that you read over and over and over again. For reasons of hilarity or delight or epic romance.

I've tried not to repeat all the fics that are already on your list, but even so, you've probably read most of the fics on my list anyway. :D

celli's DAVID/DAVID FIC, WOKE UP MARRIED. (http://celli.livejournal.com/931319.html) I KNOW, LOL THE DAVIDS, BUT THIS FIC. omfg omfg. It's seriously one of my favorites in any fandom ever, it's just. SO GOOD. *____*

katieforsythe (KATIE FORSYTHE <33333)'s fic That Which Gives Extras (http://liquidfic.net/thatwhichgives.html). THE SCENE ON THE TRAIN PLATFORM = MY HEART IN HER HANDS FOREVER. <3

somniesperus's Devil Wears Prada fic (Andy/Miranda), The X Ingredient (http://telanu.thirteenblackbirds.net/fic_unfinished/the_x_ingredient.html). it kills me that she insists on thinking this fic is unfinished when it is BASICALLY MY FAVORITE PORN-WITH-PLOT-(REALLY) OF ALL TIME.

longsufferingly's Anne/Gilbert college AU fic, And Still he Offers the Seashell. (http://longsufferingly.livejournal.com/9368.html) just. faklfjd;. god, best ever.

thehoyden's Hikaru no Go fic Blossoming (http://thehoyden.livejournal.com/141375.html). This is a really early fandom fic, and it not only sealed my eternal love for the fandom, but gave me a wonderful friendship. <3 I reread this fic so often.

DRACO MALFOY AND THE HEART OF SLYTHERIN. HELL YES. (http://www.sabershadowkat.com/harrypotter/heartofslytherin1.html) :D This fic, haha, my love will never die. I've reread it SO MANY TIMES, it's ridiculous.

scrtkpr's post-canon H/D fic, Perfect Day (http://hdworldcup.onnedhiel.net/teamcanon/perfect_day.html). LOVE.

Everything silviakundera has ever written, but for the sake of brevity, most especially And I Get By (http://silviakundera.livejournal.com/582572.html) and Deus ex Machina (http://silviakundera.livejournal.com/544777.html) and Butter and Pigtails (http://silviakundera.livejournal.com/493846.html). <3 <3 <3

thehoyden's Jeeves & Wooster fic Taking Liberties (http://thehoyden.livejournal.com/261311.html). I SPENT A WHOLE DAY RESEARCHING PIANOS FOR THIS FIC. IT WAS WORTH EVERY SECOND.

eleveninches' classic, classic H/D fic, How Harry Potter Got His Groove Back (http://dejabu.robot-army.org/groove.txt). It will never not be hilarious.

eye_queue's McShep AU Strangers on a Six Train, (http://eye-queue.livejournal.com/680.html) prolly my favorite fandom AU ever.

zionsstarfish's classic H/D fic Open Doors (http://community.livejournal.com/contrelamontre/286115.html). Cat!Harry forever. <3

OH HEY I RAN OUT OF ROOM >:E

sorry for the multiple edits--here, at least have an icon of bradley james

[bookshop.livejournal.com]

cesperanza's Things to Do In Denver When You're Dead (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Denver.html), and really every Ces fic should be on here except they're so intense I need to, like, take WHOLE WEEKS OUT OF MY LIFE to read them and then recover and then leave her long-winded rambly spiels that may or may not devolve into story tags.

Draco, almost H/D, post-book-6, Inexpert and Unexpected Things (http://amalin.livejournal.com/35702.html) by amalin. HOW IS THIS NOT ON YOUR LIST ALREADY.

My favorite Hikaru no Go fic of all time, arboretum's A Resolution of Territory (http://answer-key.livejournal.com/62338.html). I don't know what I can say that hasn't already been said. It's just the best fic the fandom ever has or ever will produce. <3

Three Tasks (http://syllic.livejournal.com/2021.html) by syllic. *_______* oh, Syllic/Merlin, my OTP.


~The Obligatory astolat Section~

Despoiled (http://intimations.org/fanfic/merlin/Despoiled.html), aklfjkldjl this fic. It's like her most underrated Merlin fic, I LOVE IT SO MUCH. JOY IN MY LIFE ALWAYS.

real forever if (http://intimations.org/fanfic/idol/real%20forever%20if.html). Another david/david, but it's just skfj;afsd. it's SHALOTT, what do you even need to say.

Time in a Bottle. (http://intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/time_in_a_bottle.html) 'Time in a Bottle,' which I'm sure you've read but whatever, is always jostling for first-place tie as my favorite fanfic of all time.

But it ultimately will always lose, if only for nostalgia's sake (and for sheer number of times I've reread), to....

A Weather of the Heart (http://intimations.org/fanfic/hp/AWeatherOfTheHeart.html) | A Weather of the Eye (http://intimations.org/fanfic/hp/AWeatherOfTheEye.html) | A Weather of the World (http://intimations.org/fanfic/hp/AWeatherOfTheWorld.html).

I read this fic first the third weekend of November, 2001. I still know nearly every line by heart. <3


(and I know it's early yet, but I've already reread pyrimidine's Boarding School AU (http://pyrimidine.livejournal.com/4244.html) and sequel (http://pyrimidine.livejournal.com/5365.html) like 3 times, as well as, like, daily re-reads of The Insomniac!Arthur (http://suchdisguise.livejournal.com/8521.html) fic by ifeelbetter. oh, this fandom. <3 <3 <3 - oh, and i might as well just go ahead and throw in SuperAnon's entire body of work (http://www.delicious.com/meiface/author:myfavoriteanon), because good lord almighty, will you *look* at that output. GOD HOW IS ONE PERSON SO AMAZING.)


And now, all that remains is for me to stalk your tag and read everything there that I haven't already. <3

SDJAKLJKD OKAY SORRY I'M DONE EDITING THIS COMMENT NOW <3

Aja, your dedication to stuff you love is awe-inspiring <3 NOW READ MY FIC HOBAG

(That tag of mine really should have more stories by astolat and cesperanza, because I have a tendency to have similar gorging-self-on-favourites sprees. I still remember the time I discovered SGA fandom and read seven billion fics in one weekend and short-circuited my brain.)

[littledust.livejournal.com]

Live Free or Twihard (http://longsufferingly.livejournal.com/114842.html) is the most wonderfully hilarious thing ever, and I don't even read J2.

The Student Prince (http://archiveofourown.org/works/91885?view_full_work=true), which I found via thefourthvine, is an Arthur/Merlin AU that is LONG and also features Gwen being her wonderful adorable self, Morgana being her wickedly awesome self, and Lancelot being a Buddhist.

Iiii think I have already linked you to all the rest of my personal pie fic! I'll let you know if I find anything more.

Wish, command

[ineptshieldmaid.livejournal.com]

Queer as the Fork When the Knife Ran Away with the Spoon (http://archiveofourown.org/works/37247)

Normal Working Relationship (http://toft.dreamwidth.org/487539.html)- mythbusters, bdsm: not something I turn to for porn, but rather something i read when in emotional wossnames, because it's about emotional wossnames.

A Beginner's Guide to Vulcan Sexual Practice (http://thingswithwings.dreamwidth.org/83103.html) by T'wings - this is the kinkfree bingo fic, and it is amazing.

Coffeeshop Muffins (http://skellerbvvt.livejournal.com/57045.html), which is the most adorable, ridiculous, wonderful bromance fic in the history of EVER. I kind of prefer the alternate ending, actually.

World needs more love, and cooking, and girls who love each other cooking things (http://community.livejournal.com/kinkme_merlin/4920.html?thread=1695800#t1695800) - gwen/morgana modern AU for the SHMOOOP.

A kinkmeme prompt about literary analysis and porn and crack (http://community.livejournal.com/st_xi_kink/3656.html?thread=7582280#t7582280)

Four Consequences of the Unexpected and Unlikely Friendship Between James T Kirk and Nyota Uhura (http://trisfic.livejournal.com/4223.html).

dja;s;kdj I LEFT QUEER AS THE FORK OFF MY LIST, and only the fact that i'm a moron who had to edit my comment 3 times already kept me from adding it back in, because it is THE BEST BEST BEST. ♥

Re: Wish, command

[ineptshieldmaid.livejournal.com]

IT IS! I printed it out on ACTUAL PAPER so I can KEEP IT NEXT TO MY BED.

[ashen_key]

Okay, I do have links for you, I just need time to FIND THEM. In the meantime, have a fic that is going to become a pie-fic of mine, and would be considered one if I hadn't read it today. Because it is DELIGHTFUL.

Inception, Robert Fischer post-canon: The Strange and Unexpected Life of Robert Fischer, D.V.M.

Following the death of his father, energy tycoon Maurice Fischer, in 2010, Fischer dismantled his inherited empire and entered the veterinary medicine program at Cornell University. When asked why, Fischer responded, "I felt I needed to make a drastic change in my life. My father's death was a wake-up call for me in many ways, and this has always been my dream. I finally decided to follow it." The Fischer Animal Clinic will offer free and reduced-cost veterinary services for low-income residents of the Los Angeles area.
