Recs fest 2011: Feel good fics
It's Friday the end of the working week for many, so today we're looking for fics that cheer you up after a bad day. What do you turn to when you just want a smile: hurt/comfort, fluff, something different?

Why I recommend this piece: Sam eats and pomegranate and talks mythology with Gene. I absolutely love Gene's take on Persephone: “Well, wouldn’t be the first girl to run off with a bloke her old mum didn’t approve of.”
Gets to questions of belonging and difference in a brilliant, funny comparison that makes you want to revisit the show and tellings of the myth.

Why I recommend this piece: Absolutely gorgeous writing--"sensation ripples through him, thick and liquid like honey"--and fantastic Gene pov on the progression of their relationship. Also the only take I've seen of Gene finding out about and reacting to Sam's decision in the finale.

Rating/Notes/Warnings: Greeny-blue cortina, or teen
Why I recommend this piece: Some of the best Sam/Gene banter I've ever seen. One of my favorite bits: "That is not food. That is rubbish someone put on my plate by mistake." Also very interesting Sam response to Gene's discussion of feelings.

Why I recommend this piece: I have a deep and abiding love for post-ep, especially post-ep that involves Gene essentially frog-marching Sam upstairs for a bath and yelling at him. Amazing look at Gene and all of his layers of emotion post 2.1.
