The waiting is over
I haven't been around for the last few weeks. I've had some medical issues and have been awaiting results. Unlike other people, when I'm ok I talk constantly; when I'm really worried I get really quiet. So, I've been reading a ton, but not even commenting in many cases. I just didn't have the wherewithall to even say "thanks". My apologies to the many wonderful authors I've not thanked. I will do my best to comment on further chapters.
The results? So far, all negative. We're down to dealing with the less scary issues. Cancer was ruled out today (all the biopsies came back negative!), but there might be a chronic issues to deal with.
Driving home from the doctor I got to thinking about why I get so quiet when I'm scared. I think it's because 1) I worry that no one really cares, 2) I don't want anyone to worry about me, and 3) no one can really do anything anyway. I don't know where in my background I came up with this group of emotional/mental issues, but there you go.
orchidluv is completing Nothing the Same this week. It's a lovely S/X story told from the beginning of season one. Xander doesn't just let Jesse's death fade away, he actively questions the whole "vamps are bad" theory the Watcher is spouting.Pivotal by
toobusy2write is an an all human AU with Spike as a rock star, Angel as his bodyguard, Xander as his step brother and a whole cast of Buffyverse characters to fill in the rest of the band and entourage. The story is just getting going, but I my interest is piqued. It's A/S.First Evil by
50ftqueenie. S/X. WIP. Season 4 of AtS is cut off at the knees when Xander arrives and can see right through Cordy's possession. This story has a lot of dark badness from Xander's childhood.There's Always a Sneer in Vegas by
stillrose. S/X WIP. It's an alternate vampire universe and both Xander (as a slave) and Spike (as part of Angelus' evil vampire universe) have histories here. So far we've found out a lot about the horrors Xander has survived, but I hope we find out more about Spike as well. I've settled in for a long, interesting ride for this story.Control Issues by
lit_gal continues to be totally gripping. Jim and Blair in an alternate Sentinel universe. There's little to no sex in this one, but lit_gal is such an amazing writer. I don't need porn because I find her characters so gripping. Hot Sentinel/Guide sex will be nice at some point though ;-)Now for something really different (and I mean really different!).
Leather Bound by
elyxer is my first foray into the world of Queer as Folk. Yummy BDSM, but not an all-porn fic. I find the characters very interesting and the way they work their lives and the Scene into their lives is fascinating to me. This fic is very recently completed.Bound to the Law by Dawnwind is a Starsky and Hutch BDSM fic. It's very, very long, and extremely hot. She has a bunch of stories on this page. There are five parts so far and she's got a sixth in mind; each part is complete, so you won't be caught in a WIP. Again, it's the way the author works the characters' lives in and around their Scenes that I like. I especially like the limits these two put on themselves as they play.
I also found Entourage and started watching it while I was ignoring the world. I just started season three. I love these boys and assume someone is slashing them. I'll go hunting for Vince/E later this week.
