I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I've been devouring the due South recs from polyarmorous and came across one that simply undid me (I was drunk and so I cried extra hard and had an existential crisis) and when I reread it sober it still hurt, but didn't give me fits. It was Exposures, and it's still haunting me through every fluffy piece I've read after. It took me awhile to work it out, and I'm not sure I e gif the plot right, but I'm still feeling pretty fucked up over it. It's coloring every happy-ending post-COTW fic.
Dira Sudis, I believe wrote it.
I also got fucked up watching the ep Good For The Soul, where Ben said that Christmas is about forgiveness, which is off-topic, except to say that I've been highly emotional reading fic or watching old TV of late.

Dira sudis' stuff is always good. I really like her, although she's mostly writing in fandoms I don't read right now (like Generation Kill). But her SG-1 fic is top-notch.
Speaking of fic, Kate Nepveu posted 50-odd recommendations for last year's Yuletide, in case you need something to read while you wait for the archive to go live on Wednesday: [link]

Holy cow, it's been so busy I forgot about Yuletide. But I have an hour of downtime at my house before I go back to my sister's, and look, the archive is open!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
For those who are stuck at work without much to do, I offer Thor's Second Epic, or: Grocery Run, by sanura. aka Thor goes to Whole Foods. I can easily imagine Thor recounting this over dinner in the Avengers Tower or to the Warriors Three & Sif.
The story that inspired it, Exclusive, by copperbadge, is also pretty awesome.

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

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Exclusive, by copperbadge, is also pretty awesome.
Hah! Very well done. That twist at the end really got me.
