This is for the fic of my heart amnesty challenge---and can I just say how thrilled I am that this is going on? Because I went through like all these fics, agonizing over which to rec, FINALLY getting down to three, I had the tabs open, I was all excited about posting---and then I somehow missed the deadline. It was tragic ( Read more... )

They are classics and I'm sure you've all ( Read more... )

The theme for this week is the Due South Story of our soul. That one or two or three stories that no matter what, you always come back to. I've read 90% of the Due South fic on the internet, but there is one story that always, always, always has me coming back for more.

I add my wails to the choir of "impossible!" It's terrible to try to pick only 3 fics of my heart for this fandom. I don't know what tack to use to approach the question, whether it should be the things that I have reread the most, the things that have pressed my buttons the hardest, the things that have surprised me and therefore found a sneaky ( Read more... )
