Familiar works here; though I'm not entirely sure I read Post-Grad, it does seem like I might. I actually looked it up to see if I'd recced it myself in the past but it doesn't look like it has been!

If you haven't read Post Grad, I can definitely encourage you to do so, and if you find you have read it, then have the pleasure of reading it again! *g*

I often find with this comm that half the pleasure is looking at titles and thinking, I'm might have read it, but I'm not sure, so there's all the fun of rediscovery of things I've forgotten about.

omg, so many stories so little time! I want to read three or four of these simultaneously. D: Thank you, fantastic list!

Oh yes, you can line these ones up, one after the other and gorge on them like a huge box of chocolates - they might give you some hot flushes, but they won't give you tummy ache! *g*

I started "Of Old Mystics", and it looks very nice already. ^^

Woot! I hope you enjoy :)

Yep, these are all amazing, but *averts eyes* I still haven't read Nessuno.

Waves finger at you - I'm going to come over to the other coast, tie you to a chair until you read it. It's called tough love! *g*
