This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Lee, sorry honey, only that single random Charlie/Marshall one. There's Larry/Charlie slash and Colby/Charlie and maybe even a David/Colby or two, but I haven't been moved to read them. My fulcrum for the fandom is the Eppes family, so I mostly read stuff involving them. numb3rs_notice has most of that stuff linked.

(Because I am hypocritical, I'm not actually opposed to reading Don/Charlie, as such. It doesn't squick me - I just don't think I'll buy it. But there are lots of stories I enjoy without believing. And, hell, a good writer can sell me on anything. I just really don't SEE it in the teeny bit of canon I've seen. Still - pretty.)

Heh. Obviously the solution is to get you more canon. And you're welcome for the stories, I hope they're a start.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks Dana! I will have to do some printing this weekend, I can tell.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh, lord.

SO sucked in.

(And, yes, of course I'm reading the BroYay. Although I still don't believe it at all. But - pretty boys. Apparently I am that shallow.)

...well, I have to say that there's some very enjoyable Charlie/Don out there, but it still doesn't really ring true for me. Whereas Charlie/Larry I am ALL OVER like a rash. Yes. Totally. Bless the geeky vaguely crossgenerational big gay love. BLESS it.

It's surprising how equal and close they are, isn't it? Given the difference in their ages. Larry always treats Charlie as if they'd done the whole thing together, instead of being Charlie's mentor for awhile there. It's interesting.

It's perfect.

And oddly, whilst I find Snape/Harry fucks with my head utterly, Larry/Charlie absolutely not a problem.

Well, no, okay, there's nothing odd about Snape/Harry fucking with my head. Because (1) Harry's a child and now a teen in canon, compared with Charlie Eppes' canonical age. And because (2) there's really nothing unhealthy about me having Big Issues about Teachers wanting to bang their pupils, and it making me want to run screaming into the night, brandishing an axe.

Well, it helps that we're seeing them both as adults, I think.

Cool, Purna has just posted a long, angsty McShep fic with pitch-perfect John POV: [link]
