I’ll be out of town for the next week or so, with very little internet access. So if I’m a bit late replying to e-mails, that’s why. *g*

Reading Jingo. How much do you love Sam Vimes? *squee*

I’ve been thinking of reading Discworld fic – after I’m done with the series, of course (at least the Vimes books); I think what I want to read most is gen. With some Vimes/Sybil and Carrot/Angua. I’ve heard Vimes/Vetinari is a popular pairing, but I’d rather read Vimes/Carrot – there’s enough interesting stuff between them in this book itself to make a good slash pairing. Lord Vetinari just doesn’t interest me much. Angua/Sybil could be a good pairing as well… even though they haven’t actually met (as far as I know) – I’m sure they would get along really well if they *did* meet…

I’d also read Vimes/Angua. Yes, I do heart their respective canon partners, but you know – they’re my favourite characters! It’s irresistible!

*

‘The Body’ has to be the scariest Buffy episode ever. Scary because it’s so *real*. The way Buffy panics, and babbles, and works on autopilot; the awkward silences; Xander being silent for once because wisecracks don’t help here; Willow’s obsession with her clothes and being ‘proper’, contrasting with Anya’s confusion and honest despair; Tara’s mute sympathy; Giles’ horror…

*

I love how Desperate Housewives keeps getting darker, without losing its humour. Yesterday, I *really* felt sorry for Gabrielle – which is saying something. And somehow, I can’t bring myself to hate Rex, because he, like Bree, demands a more complex reaction than that.

Vimes/Angua

[reikoyazumi.livejournal.com]

Hey, I randomly stumbled across this post while in search of Disc fanfic.

Vimes and Angua are my favourite characters too, so, naturally, I wanted to pair them together. However, it is damned near impossible to find! I've used various search engines, ploughed through ff.net, nothing.

Well, I found one story, Transformations by samvimes/sam_storyteller, and about three helpings of pron.

Could you direct me to any fics? It is an itch I need to scratch!

Thanks. I'm going crazy stuck at home with only my computer (and fanfic) for company ;)

Alas, Sam's 'Transformations' is the only decent Vimes/Angua I've ran across so far. Fandom is just obsessed with Vimes/Vetinari - which I wouldn't call *bad*, as a pairing, it's just that I heart Vimes/Angua and there isn't any. I have some Discfic (http://del.icio.us/swatkat/fandom:discworld) bookmarked here, though, if you're interested!

Alas, alack and possibly Aladdin too, no one has fic for me!

Yeah, normally I'm a happy slasher, but Vimes/Carrot (also omnipresent) is rife, along with V/V, and they just don't quite...work.

I suppose I shall have to resort to writing my own. *dramatic sigh*

I'll send you links if I manage to find any Vimes/Angua along my travels, and I'll have a look at your bookmarked fics.

Thanks!

I believe purimgifts had Aladdin fic (http://community.livejournal.com/purimgifts/tag/fandom:+aladdin). I haven't yet read it, and it's an Aladdin/Lost x-over, but you might consider taking a look.

And yes, links would be lovely! Thank you!
