Just had a call from my mom that my grandma has pneumonia, isn't responding to medication, and they are calling hospice now. I talked briefly to my grandma, and she knew my voice, though it sounded like it hurt her to talk. I'm glad it will be fast. She's been uncomfortable and in pain for most of the last two years, and her condition has deteriorated steadily, so it's time. Still, it hurts my heart.
Been having a hard time enjoying much of fandom lately, and I was sort of thinking of asking this anyway, but now I really need it for later today. I would love some recs for first-time stories in a select handful of fandoms, particularly if they have some heft to them and tend toward the slow-build type of story, and if they're romantic or make you feel good. Do you guys have any recs for particular favorites of the following variety?
- Hawaii Five-O (Steve/Danny)
- Fringe (Lincoln/Olivia, or Lincoln/Charlie/Olivia, but NOT Fauxlivia)
- Sherlock BBC (Sherlock/John)
- Friday Night Lights (Jason/Tim if it ends happy and doesn't make me want to kill myself)
- Lost Girl (Bo/Kenzi or Bo/Dyson/Kenzi)
( shows I am watching, and shows I am not watching - a few spoilers for shows in tags )I really screwed up something on ksarchive.com yesterday. It's been under attack by spambots and in cleaning up bogus accounts, I accidentally deleted a legitimate user's account. Ugh. She was so nice about it, too. Better than I deserve.
Also in menstrual agony. Mentally preparing self for trip to mom and dad's. Send chocolate, stat.
