Did anybody good ever write Joan of Arcadia fic? The series ended so abruptly...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We have some up on PolyRecs. Katie wrote me a wonderful birthday story a couple of years ago that's Luke/Grace. And there's Yahtzee's "Goodnight Moon," aka "the story that made fandom weep like little bitches."

Okay, I'll go look. Thanks. Was afraid to go google and find pink backgrounds and purple type, you know?

Oh, and you should also check the yuletide archive.

Oh God, that one made me tear up despite never having watched an episode. I think it's probably the best piece of fanfiction I've ever read.

I never rec a story before I've read it in its entirety, but I'm breaking that rule for "Unidentified" by fiercelydreamed. SGA AU, and t flails uncontrollably

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

Heh. That's a good enough rec for me, Matt.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

There's an epilogue to that that was just kind of staggering as well. I'm sure it's linked in there someone, but just so you don't forget to look for it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It's there, "Coda," on the index page. Thanks for the heads up, Brenda. And thank you too, Matt.

That Coda rocks so very, very hard.

Oooh, there's a coda. Cool.

I liked Unidentified, yeah. Good story, and it gave the rest of the cast something interesting to do, unlike so many AUs, where the rest of them don't even exist.

Fireball did that, too, again quite nicely.
