I always get the cart with the squeaky wheel

[linziday.livejournal.com]

So I'm in the grocery store today and — this is how my mind works — I suddenly have an urge to read fics in which some or all of the team members are grocery shopping.

Any recs?

Gen, het, slash, whatever. Just let me know which is which. Even if I don't read, I'm sure others will appreciate the recs.

Thank you!



*****ETA: Now with pickle fics! (Thanks to kind and talented raphe1 )

LOL... seems to be a popular rec. Thank you!

[raphe1.livejournal.com]

OOh! Took me one minute too long to find it. I couldn't remember the title or the author. Just the pickle scene. So I umm searched my 3000 saved fics for pickles. It is a good story!

[linziday.livejournal.com]

I almost always lose the race to rec fics by one minute. Or, you know, 20 minutes. One of those....

And now I have to ask-- how many others came up when you searched your saved fics for pickles??

[raphe1.livejournal.com]

Heh, 17 fics. Mainly about making sandwiches but looking again did yield up another shopping fic :-)

And 17 pickle fics! For some reason I am amused by that. :D

[raphe1.livejournal.com]

Heh heh. Me too oddly. I really didn't think there would be that many. Hmmm, now I want PICKLES!

[linziday.livejournal.com]

Me too! Blast it. And I just went to the grocery store.

Say, you wouldn't want to list the pickle fics, would you? If it's not a pain....
