140K word what-could-have-happened epic fic makes me HAPPY in my HAPPY PLACE. You guys know how hard AUs hook me.

Seriously, I just forgot about all of my stress for about five hours. So fucking good.

And there's an 85K WIP sequel that I am going to be haunting like ghosts because OH MY GOD THIS STORY.

So uh, if you ever wondered what might have happened if Harry Dresden had signed on with Marcone back in Fool Moon and how that would have affected the rest of the series, I highly, highly recommend The Matter of Chicago. It's deliciously plotty, has a delightful slow-burn romance, and Marcone takes lessons in running a city from Vetinari, I could not have specifically asked for anything more fantastic.

Now, I've been sitting in this chair for basically the past twelve hours, I really need to take a shower.


Oh hey, does anyone have Spotify yet? I got it this afternoon and I'm really digging it. I never thought I'd need an alternative to iTunes but I like the social aspects of Spotify. I like being able to share my playlists. I went through and added all my favorite songs on this computer to one playlist and I've been listening to that for the past eight hours. It's awesome.
