belatedly: femslashex

[kimaracretak]

Work's been horrid, I owe so many people comments, such is life over here. Have a tiny week (two weeks?) late femslashex recap: one thing written, one thing received, one thing rec'd. I joked elsenet that the theme of my exchange requests all year has been 'sad gay cops' and I was about to say this post was remarkably on theme but actually they all seem to've had okay nights except Liandrin.

residual. law & order: criminal intent, eames/barek. 1.5k words, rated t. for mangledgutspretending

It wasn't even that bad, as far as their cases went, and that might have been the worst part. It rattles around in her head as she finishes up paperwork, not actually looking forward to going home despite the lack of other options. And maybe that's why, when Barek hesitates passing by her desk on her way out and says, "Drinks?" Alex doesn't actually pause to think that long before saying, "Sure."

Post-case drinks, coming out without saying the words, friends with benefits. You know, all the usual crime-drama-as-Katatonia-song vibes.

My gift was the incredible the edge of the world (Scott & Bailey, Rachel/Janet in the wonderful 'who needs a relationship definition when we've got each other and also Gill laughing at us' space) from thiswildernessismyhome - this is one of those fics that I feel deserves paragraphs of praise but all I ever manage to come up with is 'it's THEM and they're PERFECT', which, I suppose, is the best thing I could say about a fic.

And while I've not read everything in the collection I Have read & loved greet each overture (mostly-showverse The Wheel of Time, Liandrin/Moiraine) by kathryne / tellitslant who, per usual, has chosen to make the Wheel of Time problem that she caused me to have worse at every opportunity.
