rynne, millefiori, isiscolo, xellas and the_con_cept!
And oh you lovely souls, care to rec me some fic(s) that rocked your socks lately? Either there's been a fic lull recently or I haven't had enough time/luck to search properly. Slash, gen, even het if it's really, really good. I'll read any length, but a bit longer would be nice (if not necessarily 20 chapters).
