ready for the comfort now

I am starting to suspect that while I wasn't looking, someone decided to rewrite my life as a comedy episode of House. I mean, I had health issues, I had surgery, I felt all loopy and had lying-on-the-couch recovery time, so far, so good. Then I got some side effects from the surgery and felt all loopy again. Then I got some fairly intense treatment for the side effects. Now I'm having side effects from the treatment for the side effects which, yes, make me all loopy. It really is kind of funny, although it will be more funny in a few days when I start feeling better again.

Anyway, things could be so much worse. Last night I read through most of the oeuvre of a gen writer with a favorite character. Lots of stories, one overriding theme. This character got shot so often that I lost count; he got beat up and stabbed; he got whipped quite a bit; buildings fell on him, he fell down sinkholes and ravines and into raging rivers, he was trapped in a collapsing mine shaft. Oh, and savaged by a wolf, I particularly liked that one. I am filled with gratitude that whoever is rewriting my life isn't quite so hardcore.

Also, this meme seemed entertaining:

The thing is, when people look for stories, they always make it sound like badfic. Now, often that's because it really is badfic, but sometimes it's good and they just suck at describing the story.

So, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to summarize badly anyone (or more!) of my stories and I'll try to guess which it is. You could even pretend you don't remember the pairing or fandom to make it harder to guess.

You can see my stuff here, and truth to tell, I have trouble remembering some of it even when I'm not loopy, so just go ahead and confuzzle me.
