yuletide is up, as is Secret Slasha. *squee*

Another Drink Seinfeld fic. Absolutely, utterly perfect Seinfeld fic. *dies laughing*

It's entirely possible this is the worst party Elaine has ever been to. Any party where the bulk of the evening is spent talking to George is by definition a bad party. You never know who you might pick up at a party, but it's hard to imagine anyone being worse than George

Mischief. Mayhem. Soap. I'm glad glad glad that LFN qualifies for Yuletide, because this? Is perfect.

Birkoff was in the middle of the last stage of Final Fantasy 7, utterly kicking the ass of the boss, when his intercom beeped. Briefly, he considered throwing the controller at it and then, thinking better of that one, he grabbed a rolled up pair of dirty socks and threw those instead. He was getting sick of trying to explain to Madeline how he'd wrecked yet another controller anyway and he suspected she knew exactly how controllers two, four, five, and seven had died.

I was going through the Secret Slasha entries, thinking 'There's *Buffy/Dawn* (I still have some squicks left. This is one of them), and no Buffy/Faith?' I was wrong, of course, because there is one - and what a story it is!

There is No Revolution without Boots and Song Post-NFA Buffy/Faith. Words cannot express how much I love this story - the narration, the pitch-perfect Buffy voice, the characterisations... I wish there was a way to send feedback right now. *happy sigh*

Angel's gone, Spike's gone, and Buffy and Faith are the only ones really mourning. That's what Buffy tells herself. At least for Angel, anyway. Buffy and Andrew are the only ones really mourning Spike. That would totally bum Spike out. Maybe. She's losing touch with how either of them would react.


*goes off to read all the Wonderfalls stories*

ETA:

Innocent as a Rose The Sound of Music. Liesl, far away from home.

Even in Austria, the Von Trapps were always more Austrian than anyone else. Now, in America, it seems they are to be Austrian to earn their bread. But it is more than that: Father seems to have decided that it is his family, and his family alone, that will keep Austria alive long after Anschlüss has closed the country to the outside world.

Nice Things There should be more Mahandra/Aaron in the world.

Maybe there had been times, back in high school, that had involved Mahandra imagining being admitted to Jaye's hospital room to find her sitting up in a smock with a baby in her arms, but those had been inspired mostly by overexposure to after-school specials and in part by watching Jaye leave pool parties to sneak into the cabana with Francis Holyoke. And Brad Troy. And Danny Succonetti.

ETA 2:

Been Put Back the Right Way Round One Tree Hill, Brooke/Peyton. Brooke and Peyton are on a guy break. Lovely, lovely best friends turning into something more story.

Naturally, she told Peyton first, when they met in the parking lot at school. "I've decided, P. Sawyer. No boy is good enough for me. At least for a while, anyway. I'm washing my hands of it. I'm hot, I'm great, I'm Brooke, I'm right about this. I may be right about everything."

Every Good Girl Does Fine Oh. Oh. Peanuts fic! Marcie/Patty in highschool fic! This is just so *amazing*. There should be more fic like this for those of us who can't go and see Eliza Dushku and Ian Somerhalder in Dog Sees God. *sniff*

"But these are our times -- our glory days! This year, Marcie, we could bat a thousand if we wanted."

Marcie squints behind her glasses. She says, "Well, I'm excited, sir."

For what it's worth, the sun seems to shine brighter than yesterday.

And now, off to bed.
