warm comfort stories

[thady.livejournal.com]

Hello!

Due to depressing real life I really need comfort stories.

There shouldn't be much angst or hurt (and absolutely no character death!), and there should be a happy ending. Basically those stories that leave you warm and content and glowy and happy.

Any pairing or no pairing, any length, genre, topic...

Thank you for your time.

McShep of the non-explicit variety:

stop's A Complexity of Forms (http://stop.livejournal.com/12394.html) is one of the stories I always go back to as a before-bed warm fuzzies story.

Euler's Jewel (http://www.ravenswing.com/~bas/slash/euler.html) by basingstoke always makes me giggle, and is quite short (relatively speaking).

runpunkrun gives good snuggly sweetness. For non-porn, my favourites would probably be The Slave Trade (http://home.teleport.com/~punkm/slave.html) and Equinox (http://home.teleport.com/~punkm/equinox.html). For porn, well, there's a lot of awesome to choose from, but I am ridiculously fond of A Short History of Dog Tags (http://home.teleport.com/~punkm/short.html), even though she lists that one as an R rating and not NC-17.

Explicit McShep:

The Slow Braille of Touch (http://beadattitude.livejournal.com/174585.html) by beadattitude, another one I always like to reread before bed for comfort-making.

aesc, sheafrotherdon, and dogeared apparently all worked together to write Mail Myself to You (http://aesc.livejournal.com/285128.html). It's cute and funny and does not read like something written by more than one person, which impresses the hell out of me.

Last Will and Testament (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Testament.html) by cesperanza, although honestly I'm tempted to just say "Anything by Sperenza." Or Shalott. They both make me very, very happy. But this one especially makes me giggle and plus has lots of hot sex and the right sort of dirtywrong, to make me snicker instead of cringing.

Also, I would recommend sardonicsmiley's Vancouver, BC, but someone already beat me to it. Because it owns.

For the most part these are shortish recs; if you want something a bit more epic length, then seriously, anything by astolat. Her site's here (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/) and, well, if you decide you need a break from SGA and are at all familiar with Master & Commander, I cannot recommend her AUs highly enough. Awesome and fantastic, all of 'em.

I hope at least some of these work for you :)

Thank you for those recs! And I love astolat's stories. :)
