Heh. Calli, now I'm curious. You got a link?

I love hurt/comfort. There, I admit it. Gosh, that's freeing. I know, I know, there's a lot of damned good stuff out there that goes from h/c (which for the longest time I thought meant hardcore), but a lot of time h/c gets a bad rep. Maybe because it's such an easy springboard for taking characters into unexpected directions.

Darkfic--bad things happen and nothing is learned, no hope is present, etc. etc. I can take a lot of grief happening to characters if there's some bright spot, even if it's just one character lying at the end of the world with his/her life bleeding out but with them content that it was all worth it.

I once tried to read that oft-recced Buffyfic in which a bunch of the Scoobs, Spike & Wes are turned into little kids, but the cutesy-ness of it all made me kind of queasy so I had to stop.

I made it through, but barely. The writer spent too much time on "Kids! Chocolate! Cute!" for my tastes. I mean, yes, kids and chocolate are cute, now gimme some ANGST.

Jack's reaction when Daniel re-hits late adolescence and hits on him is, essentially, "Hell no! I spent three days last week putting diapers on you. Gah-euch! Back off and put some clothes on."

I know exactly nothing about Stargate, but now I want to read this.

It's NC-17 slash (J/D, and D/other guy) and I'm at work, so it's not something I . . . oh, what the heck. [link]

Warnings: Daniel gets a bit overly weepy and femme for my tastes. (Well, I don't really mind femme in guys, but it goes out of character for Daniel, to me.) And the author is from the UK, I think, and sometimes her idiom shows it. (While I can fanwank Daniel using British slang, Jack nsm.) But the rebuild of Jack's Christmas decorations is hilarious. I don't remember which month had the de-and re-aging of SG-1. Somewhere in the middle, I think.

Actually, I do remember now. But it's good for a giggle all the same, even if I should be doing work.

There do seem to be an awful lot of UK writers in SG, based on the number of times I've seen Jack realize that he fancies Daniel.

Ah! The Anais story is Dr. Jackson's Diary which is a lovely spoofy take on Bridget Jones's Diary, only with missions and plot and so on. Probably my favorite non-DS slash story.

Oh, yeah, I had a several huge problems with that, too. Mostly of the have-you-ever-been-around-children variety, which is the same kind of weird feeling I get when reading a story by someone who I know (through idle lurking in their journal, or whatever) has had sex, as an adult, and participated in conversations with a significant other, and been out with said s.o. in public. And yet their story is like the fantasy of an unsocialized twelve-year-old virgin.

Also, I get incredibly irritated at people who keep on talking about how Spike has been mistreated in the show and how *their* Spike is the right Spike. Which is hypocritical of me, because I've said the exact same thing about Cordelia when I was reccing Julie Fortune's Angel fic.

Vonnie is me.

I loved "Small Fry" and "Son of Small Fry." Quick, how many folks can say "Are we surprised?"

I sort of feel that way about Spike. But I think Herself's Spike is Spike, so...
