Yet More Recs
This morning I made an appointment for my dog to be put down, and this evening I had an encounter with a neighbor who made it clear that he thinks I am doing the wrong thing. Both of those have made tonight difficult, so I've decided to do another rec post. I always find them cheering.
I'll be drawing inspiration for this list from a collection of themed fic recs that I found via a Google search. I'm also going to try not to repeat any of the recs from my posts Genre Fic Recs for Bistocon, These Are a Few, or 66 Recs (to Get Your Kecks).
