Recs
Summer slump is killing anything without sex. Blah. So it's time to rec! Lots of great stories from various fandoms over at apocalyptothon (master list here). Yep, everything's about an apocalypse (I had to laugh - one reviewer said, "But what happens next?" for a story there. Umm ... apocalypse?). Here are ones that I especially liked (one's even funny):
