Howdy- I've managed to mess myself up pretty thoroughly, and am prone to working too hard when I've been told to rest.

I'm asking for the best of the best long stories (here defined as multiples of 10,000 words) which won't bum me out: no dark fic, death fic, extreme character bashing, or poorly punctuated dialogue, please. I'm open to any pairing if the writer really sells it, and also love gen fic. I don't especially want PWP (and yes, in my long fic-reading history, I've seen at least one epic length PWP, not in this fandom. It bored me to tears) and am iffy about extreme kink. My favorite recent series have been the Rock Happy and Ancient John verses; I just reread with much joy Auburn's Green Sea. Over the past three years I've been too busy to read Big Bang stuff, so recommendations from that challenge and others which produce long works are a great gift to me.

Although I'm always excited to be turned on to older stories I may have missed, or reminded of ones I've read before.

Thanks much.

(Mods: I can't figure out which tags to use- it comes down to "all of them except maybe six." I realize this is pretty general, but have found- and gratefully read- similar requests from the past?)
