I really, really love when I read a fic that's so good and chest-wrenchingly emotionally stirring that I get a stupid grin on my face that won't go away. Like, I am having a physiological reaction to this fanfiction and I don't even mean that in a sexual way! okay, maybe that way too BUT MOSTLY THE SMILING

Just, wow, there are a couple of stunningly good writers in Chuck fandom and I just spent, um, three hours or so reading imkalena's fic and getting aching cheeks from this stupid fucking smile I can't make go away because goddamn, yes, this is what I am looking for, fucked up and complicated and fundamentally world-changing relationships and really there isn't much of a reason to smile until the end except reading something really well done is enough of a reason to smile sometimes.

I don't even know, I should be asleep, or at least not ranting semicoherently about fic.

Just, if you are interested in Chuck/Casey at all, go read Dirty Work (all three parts) and I hope it makes you as happy as it made me because it made me really, really happy.


....oh, I just realized that Day 15 of the 30 day meme was probably supposed to be "a fanfic" and not "a fanatic". LAWL. So consider this my official meme response fic rec?
