i can't sleep, so.

Ways to Tell You Are Reading a Story by pearl_o:

1) It's really, really short.

2) The climax of the story is something really teensy-tiny and seemingly unimportant on the surface -- a moment, a glance, a piece of dialogue -- that turns out to actually be AMAZINGLY DEEP AND INVESTED WITH SIGNIFICANCE OMIGOSH.

...That's all I got. If you guys can think of any more, let me know -- I really don't think I'm self-aware enough for this sort of meme, so it's quite likely readers would know better than I would.

um. yes.

Looking at screencaps for Twitch City, as one does, and I came across a REALLY WEIRD one. A quick survey of dsudis and fox1013 has confirmed that it is, indeed, a little freaky.

random pairing musing

Given that the fandom has such a fondness for pairing together any and every Paul Gross character and any and every Callum Keith Rennie character, I am honestly surprised there is no Fraser/Newbie slash out there in the world.

*amuses self with mental images*

I'm also sort of surprised there aren't more stories slashing Fraser (even unrequited) with the five bazillion substitute father figures he picks up during the series. Gerrard, Buck Frobisher, Quinn, Welsh, etc, etc, etc.

Watching "Some Like It Red" again reminded me how I still want to write little lesbian Catholic schoolgirl fic someday. Season 2 in general is kind of weird to watch sometimes, because it almost gives me whiplash to see how much a) HOTTER and b) MORE INTERESTING Thatcher was then, compared with the RayK years. Not to mention how much more appealing the Thatcher/Fraser was then (on the TRAIN, they were so CUTE, I'm serious!).

In the imaginary twisted version of fandom that lives in my brain, there is fic for all these pairings. Not to mention Buck/Caroline/Bob, and Irene Zuko/Ray Vecchio, and hetcest, and Frannie paired with basically every guy possible, and more Wilby Wonderful crossovers, and Ray Vecchio/Stella, and maybe Fraser het with every female guest star ever.

(This would all be among the F/K porn, of course. Like flavorings! Herbs and spices! Heh.)
