PSA: Hot water is Hot

[jadesfire]

Ah well, you guys may as well benefit from my ablutionary mishaps.

WARNING: Hot baths, good. Poaching yourself, bad.

It's funny, but the other half and I were talking about lobsters last night...
[the icon is an approximate representation of current skin colour. anyone got a fan?]


Also, I am drabble writing, have 2 fics to beta, and comm stuff to prod, but I'm all restless and mopey and seem drawn to angst-fic. This is BAD and is going to lead to me crying on the other half's shoulder for reasons that I can't hope to explain to him.

Anyone read any happy fic lately? Apart from Z (I'm halfway through!)? I'll take anything in the Whoniverse, Stargate-verse (yes, any), House (ditto) and at this point, I'll also take due South and SPN (no Wincest, thanks). Just...something to make me smile.

*flutters eyelashes* Please?

would you be interested in a gen sg1/supernatural story? (Dean and Jack o'Neill? There's a whole series http://maychorian.livejournal.com/48330.html but the Fine Art of PB&J http://maychorian.livejournal.com/50423.html is very cute

oh and you HAVE to read this wee!chester story- summer camp

Feel Better! *hugs carefully*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

You're an absolute genius. The PB&J one was *just* what I needed.

*hugs you* Thank you!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

glad you liked it!

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

There is no other way to bathe!

*is cold blooded*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*G* yeah, but when you get urticaria from heat, it's a bit more problematic...

Mind you, it was wonderful for the first five minutes :)

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

Ah, see I do get it from heat as well, but it leaves once I'm down to room temperature again. ^^

[miss-zedem.livejournal.com]

Hot water is indeed hot, but thank you kindly for reminding us all :D

Since I'm excluded from the reccing, I'm guessing you won't be interested in hearing about Peril (http://community.livejournal.com/libraryofsol/74840.html) by Corona (Shep/Lorne, PG-ish, though she gives it an R for language and unsubtle innuendo :)). Nor Ray is Not Actually Graphing the History of his Relationship with Fraser... (http://crocolanthus.com/graph.htm) (Fraser/RayK - adulty, cos it's dS and that's how they roll :)). Nor even Learn to Speak Canine (http://community.livejournal.com/getfraserlaid/3959.html) (Fraser/RayK, low teen), one of the most charming and delightful stories I've ever read in any fandom, told from Dief's pov.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I'm glad everyone finds this information useful.


Awwww...I just meant you'd already given me a lovely story and I didn't want to seem greedy asking for more!

*bookmarks list* I'm rewarding myself for each drabble I get done. Thank you!

[miss-zedem.livejournal.com]

*g* I can rec you as many wonderful dS fics as you want to read. Here's another - Green Suede Boots (http://community.livejournal.com/ds_flashfiction/409998.html) by china_shop. F/K, G-rated, Frannie pov.

At some point I really need to do an actual rec list...

Edit - you shouldn't have asked... Thank you for flying Church of England (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/588316.html) - SGA, McShep (if you squint), PG :D

[anniehow.livejournal.com]

Ok, something that really cheered me up: http://maychorian.livejournal.com/53439.html

The Tale of Teenie Weenie Deanie (And His Brother, the Meanie)

(sorry, my html-fu isn't quite up to making nice links)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee - that sounds like just what I need :D Thanks!

[perspi.livejournal.com]

How about No Light and Transient Cause (http://sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com/289117.html) by Sheafrotherdon? It's a McShep match entry, so there's slashiness, but it's also TEAM and AWESOME and it's the way 'Inquisition' should have gone.

And then there's Lavvyan's snippet of Rodney as a fallen angel (http://lavvyan.livejournal.com/291520.html). And Five Times Rodney Ran Out of Coffee: A Romance (http://dogeared.livejournal.com/152004.html) by Dogeared, which is unashamedly schmoopy and sweet.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I don't think I've read any of them! Thank you :D Some days, you just need the schmoop...

[perspi.livejournal.com]

And when you open it up to schmoop from anywhere I'm of course going to rec you slash!

You could also visit mcsmooch and non_mcsmooch--they just finished another round of kisses, and there's all kinds of short-and-sweets. :)

[fish-echo.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, yes! I really liked 1,001 First Kisses (http://community.livejournal.com/mcsmooch/112238.html?format=light) of mcsmooch It is my current pick-me-up fic :)

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Yoiks! ::gives you cool compresses::

I get most of my fic recs from you, so I don't have much. But hey, did you read dontutsweeper's Four Times Dean Was In Over His Head? It's SPN plus Jack-fic!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Ooh, no, I haven't, thanks. I did read the pumpkin one, though :) Will add it to my list!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I just re-read Happiness is a Pile of Books Purchased for You by the Person You Love (http://jane-hidell.livejournal.com/192499.html), which is PG slash, featuring House, Wilson, and books! And in-character sweet happiness! ♥

And The Emperor of Nebraska (http://community.livejournal.com/house_wilson/2081455.html) by Nightdog_barks, PG, featuring, House, Wilson, and baking! Blackmare thinks it's friendship; I'm convinced it's slash; but in either case it is warm and rich and lovely.

No Thanksgiving on your side of the pond, right? You might like Four Oranges (http://community.livejournal.com/house_wilson/2946550.html) by Nightdog_barks anyway. House, Wilson, and dinner! Friendship, PG, happy and comfy.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Ooh, awesome, thanks. Sweet happiness sounds like just what I need right now :)

I'm two episodes into S3 and managing so far... Will let everyone know if the fan-bug bites again ;)
