I'm special too! If anyone wants codes!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Lotsa special going around - anyone who wants to join the specialness, just shout!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

We're all special. In exactly the same way. Feels kinda less special, I will admit. But, hey, codes are cool.

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

Yup. Special.

Me too! Special, and willing to share it around.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I've managed to give one of mine away!

Does that make me more specialer?

I feel the need to pimp a fic I believe is seriously underappreciated. It's a Star Trek gen fic and so there just aren't as many communities to post it to, so it's not getting the traffic it deserves.

The Light of Distant Skies (gen, PG-13).

Summary: 16.45 years after Vulcan's destruction, the last light from Vulcan shines on an Earth on the verge of war, and on Starfleet officers facing decisions on whether to confront the enemy or seek out new life.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The SPN thread is full of fan fic recs and anti-recs, but this one stood out to me recently: It's Always The End Of The World Somewhere. It's an NC-17 high school AU (Dean/Cas pairing), but if all that doesn't turn you off, it's really good. It's got some of the most complex AU Castiel characterisation I've read anyone accomplish. I've read a decent amount I've enjoyed recently, but when I consider recommending something to my sister who doesn't even watch the show, then I know I'm hooked.
