I always do, Betsy. But my absolute favorite love scene I ever wrote contained the phrase "Because I love you, you idiot!" so maybe I'm not the one to ask. And, yeah, is a big problem for a lot of House fics.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

I'm afraid I don't have a link to it handy, but one of my favorite meta-fics involved Methos reading a super-schmoop story about his character and editing it heavily. I think his sword was involved in the edits at one point. And the word "eviscerate".

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
there's the fact that I like the characters better in fanfic, which was not true of the Whedon characters.
Oh, totally.
is there a good archive for the GA fic yet, or does anyone have recs?
No archive, but Yuletide had a couple good ones.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The only GA fic I've read is Annakovsky's post-Bomb episode fic, [link] in which Kovsky writes George/Bailey and somehow manages to make it work.

RPF with the Muppets! HEEE!
Betsy--House?
God knows, this is a multi-fandom rule, but this was touched off by a particularly bad Duncan/Methos in which Methos was about as hard-shelled as a marshmallow. Or Marshmallow Fluff.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Has this SGA fic ("Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose") been recced here yet?
One of the best fics I've ever read in any fandom, ever.

No; but Synecdochic's a pal of mine from popslash fandom, and the two (three?) SGA stories she has out right now are superb. She's working on a big novel-length, punch-you-in-the-gut story right now that I can't wait to read.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Oh my.
I think that's the most powerful SGA fic I've ever read (no small feat when people like shalott and Speranza and Minnow and Consuela are contributing to the fandom).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It reminds me of the kind of story you get from Kat Allison!
