the only thing I ever want anymore
Oh, man, it's been a while, hasn't it? :( Missed you guys.
I have an assortment of recs, though! :D?
Make Me Call Again by summerstorm - Community, Britta/Slater, PG-13/R, 5300 words. Britta comes to the conclusion that hating Slater isn't worth the hassle of avoiding her. Slater comes to a similar conclusion about avoiding Britta. They attempt to call a ( Read more... ) -
sent up our flag and moved on
I had forgotten how much I love painting. Laying protective tape just so satisfies my inner obsessive-compulsive, and the repetitive motion of brushstrokes is lulling. I also really love the color I used, this pale green that changes with the light but never looks garish.

I finished reading Santa Olivia today, by Jacqueline Carey. ( It was SO AWESOME. No spoilers you wouldn't find in a blurb, but cut anyway. ) -
it's only fear
I am tiiiired, oh my goodness - unwontedly and unwarrantedly so, really. But I do this thing where I wear myself out thinking of all that I need to do, mentally retreading my to-do list and bullet-pointing lots of anxiety under each item on it. It doesn't help that I tend to procrastinate more when I'm afraid, and there's very little I dislike more ( Read more... ) -
miscellaneous linkage + that meme
- Most of you have probably seen it already, but Rachel Maddow on DADT and on winning votes because you earn respect for your actions, not because you stir up fear of your opponents' actions.
- Meta rec (via poisontaster): Neoliberal Holmes, or, Everything I Know About Modern Life I Learned From Sherlock. This sharply, succinctly articulates much ( Read more... ) -
you who are my home now
Hello, denizens of livejournal! I have missed you. ♥ The month or so I spent away was a little rough, but hey, I'm in fandom; I should know coping skills are hard-earned, right?
Anyway, one of the first things I saw upon returning to the bosom of the Internet was news of Evan Lysacek's latest adventure in doucheland, and worse still, some people ( Read more... ) -
if you break down, i'll drive out and find you
So, I think that after this post I will probably be even less visible than usual. (I'm sure that you're all heartbroken.) I'm going to try taking a break from my computer/the internet for a while.
Here is a shitton of recs (what else) for the road, including lots of fic about women, organized by fandom.

your days are numbered
- Happy Memorial Day to other Americans on my f-list. I watched the neighbors ready their grills and listened to a long excerpt from Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried on the radio this afternoon.
I feel guilty sometimes. Forty-three years old and I'm still writing war stories. My daughter Kathleen tells me it's an obsession, that I should ( Read more... ) -
rec + anecdote
I was going to wait to make a longer post about alllll the fics I love from wintergameskink, but then the last paragraph of the most recent update of this one tipped me over into MUST REC NOW! mode:
"We were never," Johnny broke in. He paused, trying to figure out how to explain it. They wouldn't get it anyway, because they'd never been there - and how fucking ( Read more... ) -
insta-rec
the late-night delicious trawling of the insomniac sometimes pays off in the form of good, adorable fic with really well-incorporated ust/teasing and sex scenes. I prefer this to when it results in me falling asleep in my cereal.
All Life Turns to Words (But Just the Sounds), by lordessrenegade. figure skating RPF, Stéphane Lambiel/Johnny Weir, NC17, ~12,000 ( Read more... )
