Looking for your favorite h/c...

[elderwitty]

...and I'm making it hard by asking you to limit yourself to one. The one you keep coming back to read again and again. I prefer team!whump or Shep!whump, but will happily read all. Please warn for pairings, as I'm easily shocked by het (what with my McSheppist leanings). Thanks!

Here, I'll start start.

An Infirmary Christmas by wildcat88. 13,650 words, gen (aside from the torture).

Okay, okay. You can have a favorite AU h/c, too. Am I not benevolent? :p

Facts of Life by master elayna. Part of the Woobie Widower 'verse. 3,429 words, McShep. (Wait a mo - doesn't this author also go by elayna88? In-ter-es-ting. )


Mods, please feel free to throw more tags at this post, if you think they're needed. I'm still not quite sure if I'm doing it right. :D

BWAHAHAHA!!! I was going to make a special exception, just for you...then I thought it was awfully bigheaded of me to presume that you'd be jumping up to answer my request, so I edited it out.

If you want to give me a whole list - feel free. (In fact, my post was originally going to be asking for one...then expanding it to one in each category:

canon
AU
ep related
in the city
on the planet
emotional
alternative reality
wraith-related
etc etc

I was up to a mental list of about 20 categories, then I regained my senses.) But go ahead - go crazy...I'll be right in front of behind you. :D

And thanks for the story!!

Bwahaha back! Because I had briefly contemplated posting another one as "anon-not skaredykat" and then another as "another anon, also not at all skaredykat" etc. but then I thought "that would be breaking the rules, oh horror!" ;)

Okay, so a few more (since I don't have one of those delicious things where I can just handily point you to a certain subset) coming up...

[elderwitty]

Thank goodness it's not just me that has trouble flouting the rules! Although I will admit that I can do it sometimes...it just takes a bit of doing.

And, hey - I did give the option to do a second one. :snerk:

[elderwitty]

eEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I like your revision, there. As for your h/c interpretation, I was going to include Your Inevitable Unhappy Ending as one of my examples. I think we're on the same weird wavelength. :>

Thanks (and don't expect to hear from me again any time soon. :glee: )

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Wow/that's hilarious, because I had a fleeting thought of including Your Inevitable Unhappy Ending but then I got distracted. Wavelenght-resonance indeed -- lol

Happy weekend-reading!

(*off being busy with making new and improved model tinfoil hat*)

[elderwitty]

it's very shiny

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Well, the one in your icon is very elegant (though Aretha still perhaps wore it better than anyone else (http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/funnypictures/ig/Aretha-Franklin-Hat-Pictures/Obama-in-Aretha-s-Hat.-jV2.htm)?), but mine of course has a practical four-inch brim for summer. Shoot, maybe that's what's making it so shiny in the satellite photos. (*ponders redesign*)

[elderwitty]

Of course Aretha wore it better. Dean's is merely an homage.

And don't redesign yours, else I'll have to overhaul my entire tracking program.

I probably shouldn't have let that slip.
