183: Let the Healing Begin

[thefourthvine]

Recently, I posted a set of SGA stories. They were all future stories, all long, and certain people - I am naming no names - thought there was perhaps an over-emphasis on the depressing and distressing

They've already got rings. (Okay. No rings to my actual knowledge. But if there was an episode where Vince gave Eric a ring, I would not be at all surprised.)

Okay, no physical rings, but in the first season, Eric moved into the guest house and Vince was like, okay, not happy, but okay. In season three, Vince bought everybody Aston Martins, well, b/c Drama and Turtle would probably have cried if Eric got one and they didn't. In season two, Eric and Vince have a fight and Vince tries to drive off, but uh, Vince can't drive. Seriously, he totally destroys the SUV. Last season, Eric rented space for his own production company and Vince bought him a $50,000 desk. This season, Vince went on a sabbatical to find himself, and he told Drama not to tell E where he was, but E was like, fuck that noise.

That's pretty damn married to me.

They are totally married! They pretty much come pre-slashed for our convenience; seriously, I know the writers intended it to be all LOOK THEY ARE SUCH MEN, but - really. They come off as total men who just happen to love each other and need to bang each other's brains out.

I love the idea of safety tabs. I'm such a wimp though, I may still need my blankie too *g*

[thefourthvine]

I totally encourage blankies AND safety tabs. Not to mention a dog to squeeze, if things get really rough.

I can't believe I never read that Sports Night story before. See, so every rec is useful to someone! :-)

That would be a very bad thing to miss! I'm pleased I managed to point the way. (You should probably do a quick check to make sure you haven't missed any of Shrift's other SN. That would be tragedy.)

[darthfox]

I did, and it turned out both Shrift and her colleague Nestra have carried on writing SN fic long after the show went off the air, and I'd missed most of it! ACK! But I am now read up. :-) Hurrah.

I am SO DELIGHTED that Healing Station Argh is your current safety-tab story. It fills me with joy. Also, Chicago's Most Wanted is totally one of my safety-tab stories.

[thefourthvine]

It's such a perfect safety story it's like you wrote it just for that purpose!

And, really, it doesn't get any safer than Chicago's Most Wanted. The Mafia! Amnesia! Criminal actions! Leather jackets! To me, that is how you spell safety.

Um. I mean, fictionally, because obviously that's less than ideal in real life.

[toft_froggy]

I'm so glad!

I was trying to describe the plot of Chicago's Most Wanted to someone the other day, and I was like, "And then he joins the mafia and becomes the perfect bank robber! And it's so sweet and lovely!" But it IS!

I have just noticed - I have no author credit on your post for HSA! Can I have one, so the world knows my name and bends its knee to my overlordship in writing safety tab stories?

[toft_froggy]

Ta!

Have you tried snarchive? If I've got the name right. (If not, check phoebesmum's user info which will have a comm with a *very similar* name to that (I hope!). Anyway, it pretty much does what it says on the tin, it's meant to be an archive of SN stories, so possibly you could find some of your missing links stories there?

[thefourthvine]

The last time I looked at snarchive (which I keep mistyping - and misremembering - as snarkive, because that also works with this show), it was brand new and not much was there. Thank you for reminding me that I meant to go back someday, because obviously that day is now! And, oh, it would be so lovely to find some of my missing links. I have so many stories left to rec. *hopes hopes hopes*
