angsty smut is a plague upon the land or something

I could spend my time doing something productive and useful, but I see no reason why I can't just loaf and stare vaguely at my friendslist and be so damned lazy that someone, somewhere, SHOULD be chastizing me.

But. Today I'm zoning in my pet obsession, writing, or How You, Too, Can Have Sixteen WiPs That Won't Do a Damn Thing! Act Fast! Limited Time Offer!

Or not. Really, it's not hard. Just get frustrated and throw it into the WiP folder and pretend it doesn't exist.

( my sense of humor is off-line again )

as an alternative to my navel-gazing....

...read something GOOD! Far be it from me to continue this advanced navel gazing and bore the population of my friendslist to a standstill. So.

Recs

I Want to be Old by dolimir, who impresses me with this very nice view at the inside of Clark's head. Especially nice harkening back to Hourglass, still a beloved, beloved episode. *happy place* And well, Clark and Lex bonding. Love it.

The Good Son by dolimir. Two for two. Yay! Lightly plotted Martha POV futurefic, with an intersting view of how the future develops and how very INTERSTING it can be. Warm fuzzies like, EVERYWHERE.

Greater Than the Sum by emerlin. Oh yeah. Lex and Clark, apart! No! But wait! Things change! Because they have to, dammit. I like how this develops. Maybe it felt a little tiny bit rushed in reconciliation, or maybe I read it waaaay too fast wanting to see them FINALLY TOGETHER, oh yes. Post-Rift happiness. Always a joy.

Best Intentions by joyfulgirl. Third in the SV/Highlander crossover, and one of the few crossovers I've read that uses the concept of one so well. A nice combination of Clark's insecurity about his place in Lex's life and future, with some excellent tension. Poor Clark. All insecure and scared. It also makes me wish I'd watched more Highlander. *sighs* Reruns. I shall find reruns.

Conditioned by Isagel. Hee! Smutty pretty funness, as Lex contemplates how well Clark's trained. I just enjoyed the read.

Rhonda's Story by carlanesses. Oh GOD, yes, it is SO overdue, but finally, Lex's car gets a voice! And apparently, a lot of sex. Dear God. Funny as hell. *lovelovelove* Honey, you have GOT to write more.

Mating Rituals by Kat Reitz and tzigane Two words. Engagement hamster. If that doesn't drive you over there to read RIGHT NOW, nothing else will. Except maybe the promise that you WILL spit something beveragey on something if you're not careful.

Soulquake by rhiannonhero. I'm slightly bitter that I got this IN THE MORNING, when I was RUNNING LATE FOR WORK. So I was late for work to finish it. Oh damn. Next in the Orbiting series and--well, it's being recced ALL over LJ. Just read. Like, nowish.

Okay. Not caught up, but close. I want Hershey's treasures, filled with caramel. And I shall get some. Somehow, dammit. Somehow. *waves fist in air*
