okayawesomeAccording to Terry Pratchett, that many exclamation points are the sign of a diseased mind, but I do not care.
So I've been pretty quiet lately! Partly because, as usual, as the year winds to a close, things have been absolutely sucking for me lately. What it is about the holidays and my life, I don't know, but things are always objectively really un-fun around this time of year.
I'm saying this to emphasize was a huge pick-me-up it was to find out that I had three fantastic Yuletide gifts this year! It was a surprise and a delight to read them all. I haven't had a chance to read most of the archive yet, but I did read mine, and of course I had to come and rec them right away:
My 'main' gift, Psychological Factors in Costume Design, is Community, is Troy/Abed with a healthy dose of Jeff thrown in, and is totally awesome. I can't be the only one who absolutely loves that trio, can I? Troy/Abed/Annie warms my heart, but a lot of my favorite throwaway moments on the show are Jeff reluctantly getting involved with Troy and Abed, and this fic does a great job of capturing his mindset when he winds up in the middle of, say, strip poker, or Sesame Street flash mobs. The ending was a sweet, sweet bonus.
And my treats! Swim from the Shallows into the Sea, a Darkangel Trilogy fic, is ACTUAL AERIEL/ERIN do you have any idea how happy that makes me? It is literally the only Aeriel/Erin fic I've ever read, because no one writes Darkangel fic and the few who do don't write Aeriel/Erin, which I find heartbreaking. They're one of my all-time lesbian OTPs. And it's from Erin's POV, even!
Nobody's Pool Boy is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang fic centered around my conviction that all KKBB fic requires a lot of Harry being stupid and doing really, really stupid things. Bless this author for delivering in spades. The Harry is great and the narration is spot-on (I have such a love for fic where he meta-comments on his own narration), but what really made this for me was the perfect Gay Perry, with his nitpicking, turning Harry into a fussy Pomeranian, and booming Take Down Evil voice. I could read ten thousand more words of this.
A huge thank you to my writers, especially the ones who took extra time out to write treats. These stories really gave me a boost when one was needed. ♥
I would love nothing more than to spend all day reading other Yuletide fics, but I have to clean a lot today, so expect another rec post... IDK, sometime during the week! Did I hear something about a Sharktopus fic?
