Thrive to spite them

Does anyone know if there is good Shannon/Sayid fic out there?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I checked ff.net this morning and was not too surprised to see no less than five 'fixit' fics posted in response to last night's CSI episode. I'm not sure if I should be appalled or amused. Sara/Grissom is the new Spuffy, I fear.

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

While they were fixing the ship, did they pause and fix the characters in the ship? Individually they're pretty broken too.

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

By the way, Slate had an article about Grissom yesterday that talked quite a bit about fanfic, slash and het.

I didn't bother to check. Just reading the summaries gave me hives.

ETA: That's one of the reason I call it the new Spuffy; there's a tendency to go straight to the schmoop while sweeping everything else under the rug.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I like Grissom/Sara ( as I liked Spike/Buffy), but I do like them broken, because they are.

(although I have a soft spot for well-written schmoop of just about any ship when I am in the mood. I just don't really think of it as in character.

Yes. I feel that way about both pairings--if the brokenness is acknowledged, it can lead to some very good fic.

I also agree with you about well-written schmoop. Sometimes I'm in the mood for it the way I'm sometimes in the mood for a big gooey dessert that otherwise would make me feel ill.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I like the way that this season it's sort of become an open secret between the two of them. There's no more of these tentative overtures from Sara, with Grissom ducking out of it. He knows, and she knows he knows, and they don't really know what to do with it.

Michael gets Mary-Sue-ized:

His hair was perfect, a combination of textures, a fusion of wondrous colors, an astoundingly perfect blend of sun kissed locks and even in this light one could see the distinctive russet, auburn, dark blonde, dark brown and silver and gray locks.

---

He was truly a magnificent specimen of a man, handsome but not pretty, tall but not gigantic, trim but not skinny and unaffected as all hell.

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

one could see the distinctive russet, auburn, dark blonde, dark brown and silver and gray locks.

I've seen that look a lot. It generally makes me think "highlighting malfunction."
