"Human Contact", a Newsflesh fic, a couple nights ago.
I discovered this while sitting in the inn's common room, late enough in the evening that the fire was dying down and there were only a handful of us still awake and in there. And unlooked-for Newsflesh fic is just something that hardly ever happens in my world--maybe once a year? (Yuletide is different; obviously I hope every year that someone besides me will write some, and I get very excited when other people do, but I'm prepared for it.)
Let's be honest: I don't have much dignity to begin with. But in the throes of wholehearted fannish joy, I literally bounced and squeed and covered my face with my hands and flailed a little. My poor minister was sitting closest to me, and looked up from checking his blog stats to stare at me in confusion. *g* And then he compared my reaction to three or four different breeds of dogs, point by point. (He's a dog person, to put it mildly.)
This was all over just discovering that the story exists, mind you. Then there was debate over whether to read it right away (which I settled on, since it's quite short) or save it to have it later. At some point
wildpear was finally just like "...do you need me to come sit there by you?" (Yes.)
And the story doesn't just exist--it's also good. *g* I got to read new words about Georgia and Shaun, and I was deliriously happy, and now you all know where to find the story too. [pre-series, Georgia/Shaun, posted to Porn Battle but not particularly explicit]
