Today started out a very no-good, rotten day but I have to say that right now, it feels like things are looking up. New Supernatural, new Make Me a Supermodel...and a really
awesome burst of creativity that has me jazzed and energized in a way I haven't felt in a long time. Here's hoping it lasts!
But. I am not really here to talk about ME. What I am here to talk about is FIC.
Earlier today, I sent
![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
derryderrydown a rather frantic SOS asking her if she could Britpick the Torchwood story I was writing. She was happy to and asked me if I could take a gander at the story
she was working on at the same time. I'm a more than a little embarrased to say how very little work I had to do on hers, considering the huge
overhaul she had to do on mine, but I suppose that's why I fangirl her so damn much.
MINOR SPOILERS FOR 2.01:
First Date by
derryderrydown.
God. I only wish I could capture banter the way she does, sharp and sparkling and very much in the right 'voice'. It's sweet, tender and funny and very much what Jack/Ianto fics aspire to be.
On the other hand, I almost wish that
technosage hadn't posted the following fic today. Firstly, because after the glowing rec she gave me, it feels a bit like ass-kissing, but given how much I've been fawning over this story as she's shown me pieces of it (and the fact that I just don't ROLL like that) has me feeling that my conscience is clear. Secondly, I worry that this will get overlooked on this High Holy Day, Rex Manning Day, SPN Day and it deserves so much better than that.
Honestly, I don't remember if I've talked about Allie's Break Loose Ranch before, but it's steadily become a favorite and this latest entry is no exception. You know how I love my broken Jensen. I've talked about it to no end and Allie's Jensen's a little more broken than that, but still stubborn and proud, glued together over the breaks and so deeply NEEDY. Her Jared is--in her own words--a toppy bastard, but with such kindness, care and tenderness that it takes my breath away. And this installment is no exception. Oh, and did I mention the HOT?

And then while I'm reccing around, and especially for those looking for good Jack/Ianto, Allie wrote this a few days ago and I meant to rec it then and, as I do, I got distracted. It's super short at only 350 words, but boy does it pack a whallop. <a href="http://smokeringhalos.livejournal.com/20786.html#cutid1">Alexandria</a>, also by <lj user=technosage>.
