People, I have the glee today. Which is good, because I also have the cramps and the headache and the general pain and frustration I feel the first day or so every time I have my period. Mostly, though, I have the glee.

Why do I glee?

Because [livejournal.com profile] pene wrote me the most amazing, fantastic, warm, sweet, and just all around perfect fic for the [livejournal.com profile] femslash_today Sadie Hawkins ficathon.

"Something That You're Missing" combines two of my requests, Carmen/Tibby and Carmen/Missy. (What can I say, I love Carmen. This should surprise absolutely no one. I also love Missy. I also love Tibby, but only because she reminds me of Sarah.)

It's a wonderful story with beautiful details, great characterization, believable (and sexy) teen girl experimentation, the warm friendship I so love in the books, a spot-on Missy, a hilarious Torrance mention, and just--I don't even have enough words to say how much I love this.

The fact that this story was written for me is just icing on the cake, where cake means I had the pleasure to read a story which makes me smile and laugh and be filled with glee every time I read it, and I've reread it often. Now you should go read it and tell [livejournal.com profile] pene how much you love it, because I know you will.

I've started with the story written from me, and that fandom, and then moved from the top of the list down. I think I am perhaps making this more work than I need to do, from reading other comments left on the stories; I'm writing far too much on each comment and I'm not reccing them until I've left feedback, but I'm having a great time, it's just very slow going and now I must take a break for awhile and do other things like grocery shop and prepare for work tomorrow. Damn it.

Fandoms recced: Tamora Pierce - Tortall universe (book), 10 Things I Hate About You (movie), 28 Days Later (movie), Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series (book), The Breakfast Club (movie), and Classical Mythology.

Tamora Pierce - Tortall universe

Old Bones and Memories is a story about Raoul of Goldenlake and his memories. It is the story written for me, so of course I knew I'd like it, but this is amazing in ways I can't actually believe. It is perfect, and captures all the things I like best about the books and about Raoul himself: the superstition, the magic, the attention to details, the loyalty to his friends, the dice games, and the character voice. It's really, truly perfect, exactly what I wanted in a Raoul story, and I can't believe it was written for me.
