No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I have a GO fic rec, but I feel like it needs some caveats. (Or maybe I feel defensive about loving it so much!) I'm really not a fan of fics where Aziraphale and Crowley are human, whether it's within the GO-verse or in an AU. And, in fact, I don't care for AUs in general. So, by those standards, I should never have liked this fic, but someone whose opinion I trust recommended it, and I reluctantly checked it out, and I am head over goddamn heels for it.

Slow Show. It's an AU where Aziraphale and Crowley are actors on the same TV show. (Absolutely *not* RPF, to be clear. Definitely an AU of the characters.)

It's not complete, if that matters to people (I know some folks don't like reading WIPs). There are 10 of 12 chapters up. I love it ridiculously.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I could probably google, but was there a Yuletide this year? Are there recs? I miss the days when shrift and Dana read all the fics so I didn't have to!

Polyamorous Recs is still a thing, but I don't know that they've reviewed Yuletide stuff yet. [link]

My subscriptions went a little crazy with unexpected fandom fic toward the end of the year, so I suspect that Yuletide happened.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Ha ha, we have not made a yuletide update yet.

Yuletide definitely happened, but I've been sick since December 24, so I'm behind on reading. I have many, many bookmarks, though.

Here's the 2019 collection: [link]

I will say, this is one of those quintessential yuletide stories, and it is hilarious.

Thanks Dana--that's one I probably wouldn't have read otherwise, but it was a hoot!

Thanks all. I guess what I am mourning is livejournal. I don't get tumblr.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I've never watched The Magicians (though I have read the first 2 books), but I fell backwards into fic for it, and now I can't stop reading it. My brain is so weird.
