This post was started a couple days ago. I am so bad a finishing things lately and I have somewhere between 93 and 98 tabs open right now. BUT, I've read some really amazing stuff lately, so here.
Happy-making
iowa caucus tom conrad and the obliteration of the fourth wall, which I can find a link for if you want, but. I'm a little scared that I am never going to finish this post.
Disturbing
This, although since I started this post, this guy's journal has been suspended.

Real Person Fiction by phaballa Jared/Jensen, Sandy Based on the popslash story, not based on a true story, which explains a lot if you've read it. This story is one of the oddest and most intense and hurty (but not in a heartbreaking way) stories I've read in a while. It's very personal, and meta-ish and at the same time some of the greatest introspection about the workings of fandom and wank in general. I'd highly recommend this.
"What?" Ryan's getting tired of saying that, but really. He kind of can't get past it. "You hit a guy and put his body in the van?" Then, because Brendon is tiny, "Wait, how big is he? Oh my god, did you kill a kid?"
"No! It's. I got out of the van to check on him, right? And, like, his head was bleeding a little, but he didn't look too bad. So I poked him."
"You poked him," Ryan echoes.
Brendon nods. "With a stick. But anyway, I poked him, and all of a sudden, he just...got up! He told me to put his bags in the trunk and take him to JFK, and he got in the back and, like, passed out. Or died. I was too scared to check."
Disipline and Punish by Arsenic (arsenicjade) Frank/Mikey, Bob/Gerard, other characters and pairings The fabulous prison AU that is finally finished as of...sometime last week. This story is amazing, anyway. Arsenic has a knack for writing things I would not normally read and making me love them. This is just... one of the best things ever. Long and plotty and really well done h/c, set in a universe that expands and grows with the characters, as they leave prison and continue their lives.
"What's up?" Brendon asks, and he's being careful. The tone of his voice is careful and quiet, even quieter than the silence of the apartment demands.
Brendon walks over to him. He's meandering, weaving around objects and taking his time, like if he gives Spencer enough notice, Spencer won't bolt when he gets close.
