just a couple of stories, darlings, just a couple of stories

My sister just left for the US, but I don't feel like dwelling on that, so I'm going to post three recs before I go to work.

The first one is Welcome to Planet Motherfucker, which is about zombies and how MSI end up investigating rumors of a cure against the zombie virus. Along the way MSI meets MCR and Chantal, and Gerard and Lyn-Z fight some zombies and, you know, yeah. But because nokomis305 is my favorite, this is not a story where the girl is any kind of damsel in distress, but a zombie story where said fair lady is the most awesome, amen. This story is so much fun, and I know she thanks me in the acknowledgments, but seriously, my involvement was limited to flapping my hands enthusiastically and telling her to kill more people. Also I kept typing ZOMBIES in all caps. Go read it! It's GREAT. I love, love, love the way Steph writes Lyn-Z--human, believable, funny and fantastic--and her Chantal is fucking perfect, as always. As is everyone else. I have so much adoration for this story, seriously.

The second one is liketheroad's Prairie Doll of Mine, which is a Ryan/Spencer small town au. This--it's Ryan and Spencer holding on to each other in the face of prejudice, it's about finding safety and home in another person. I told her she broke my heart and put it back together, and I don't know how to recommend it except to say that again. It's lovely and achy and I just, yeah. Wonderful.

And the last one was just posted--colouredmango's Until I Am Home With You. Butcher/Sisky, and oh my god. I read it this morning, a little heartsick and tired, and I left her a most incoherent comment, I can't even. It's a beautiful story--Butcher goes on his Chinese internship and leaves his boyfriend, high school student Sisky, behind, but they stay together, stay in touch. Oh, love. Love.

Ughhh, I want to read so many big bangs- ESPECIALLY Steph's- but I don't get enough computer time while I'm away. :(

<33333 thanks for the rec bb. I'm going to read yours today assuming I can get myself to school/work with enough time to take the notes I need to and also attend the reading group and... yeah, okay, TONIGHT, I will read it! Looking forward to it, so it'll be a good reward.

*tweaks your nose* I loved it, you. You write about love in a way that--I don't know, it makes me feel safe and happy, and even more so because you don't shy away from difficult issues. I know I told you how I feel about For Keeps, and this story reminded me of that.

Also obviously I look forward to hearing what you think and stuff. ♥

Prairie Doll of Mine! I mixed for that one and it is so looooovely. Exactly as you put it: it breaks your heart and sews it back up.

*opens the others!*

I do much worse things with html on a regular basis, man, don't worry. And I hope you like the fics!
