All Roads Lead
Looking at my open windows this morning, you would have seen six and a half fandoms (for me, "terrible Xander xovers" should totally count as a separate fandom; they are a surprisingly large part of my reading), but I've mostly narrowed back to bandom because when I have a favorite fandom? Everything I read somehow leads me back to it. It's actually a little irritating.
I was going to spend the day wallowing in epic Buffy fic, because yesterday was. Not awesome. I had a flat tire at work and my AM paid a guy to fix it (she is still totally my favorite; I didn't even ask her, she just didn't want me trying to change it by myself), but I'm going to have to buy a new tire. And I was CSR for the day, so I was in charge, but one of my cashiers!
She irritates me on a normal day, but I'm always polite to her, because that's what you do in the workplace and then yesterday, I make a reasonable request (that she wait to buy her snack until I didn't have a line of actual customers) and she flounces off, complains to the other cashier, and sulks. And acts like a pouty five year-old when I go to talk to her. And makes a comment about how I'm "always" short with her. Oh, I'm so sorry we haven't exchanged friendship bracelets, but you're a moron and I don't like you, so polite is as good as it gets, sweetheart. Argh.
Anyway. I start reading fic I know is awesome and then I get sucked into trying a bandom fic it reminded me of, and I don't have the kind of backstock in bandom that I do in something like Buffy. I want to read something I know is good and comforting, but is also not something I've read in the last three months.
Basically, I need bandom comfort fics.
