KIRK: Mrs. Sarek, I just don't understand. AMANDA: Amanda. I'm afraid you couldn't pronounce the Vulcan name. KIRK: Can you? AMANDA: After a fashion, and after many years of practice. Shall we continue the tour? My husband did request it.
Also oh god End of the Road. Kat is evil and geniusly and oh goooooood. I always have to follow up that story with Heavy Bag just to keep from falling apart.
On, Pearl. I love you so much for having that RIGHT AT YOUR FINGERTIPS. (Also, why do I not have any ST icons? MUST REMEDY THIS. Oh, I laugh at the days when I insisted my icons not be fandom-specific.)

...You mean there's a way to read The End of the Road and not fall apart? I did not know this!
fan fiction cliché and subverts it There aren't enough stories like that around. Given the immense amount of crack in fandom, I feel this is an undermined genre - I'd be working on it harder myself if I didn't have so many small research projects to occupy my time.
This is very true - I've found it to be an excellent motivating factor to look around, realize nobody else is going to write what I want to read, and then do it myself. It worked pretty well last summer, so I'll have to see what happens this time around.
Oh, I can't read The End of The Road again. The first (and last!) time I read it I cried so hard I nearly revisited my dinner. I lovelovelove angst, and have deliberately set aside entire evenings in which to read all my bookmarked Really Sad Fic, but Kat Allison has, like, witchcraft on her side. Never again.
(This is also because it's Benton and Ray K, for whom I have never lost that OTP spark. If it were anyone else, I'd probably read it all the time.)
However, thank you for the SG1 fic - I haven't read it! I will do so immediately!

See, and I don't even LIKE angst, and most of the most painful stories I read I tag with the equivalent of NEVER AGAIN. And yet I could not STOP reading The End of the Road. Truly, Kat is magic. VERY DARK MAGIC.
See, it's totally NOT my canon. IN MY HEAD THEY ARE TOGETHER FOREVER. THE END. And it's actually Kat's realism that allows me to do that, because nothing Ray and Fraser EVER have done has been that realistic and true to life. So it doesn't really match canon, and I can think of it as an AU set in a much grimmer world. Like, you know. Ours.

Which is not to say I'd mind seeing a few more. I would not. At all. *g*
