In the meantime, today I keep reading/watching fanworks that bring me to the edge of tears.

First there was stele3's Timshel, this gorgeous piece of worldbuilding and heart-tugging, all wrapped up in a fairie tale package. She always does the most amazing things with PatD fandom, and this was no different.

And then there was lalejandra's heart-wrenching post-divorce GSF fic "The past is gone but something might be found to take its place."

And finally, silver_sandals's vid This is Everything is one of the most gorgeous things I've seen recently. Didn't realize how much *I* needed that catharsis for "all the queer Star Trek romances that never were." (Thanks for the rec, kuwdora)

... Maybe if I go to bed early tonight I'll be less emotionally fragile tomorrow?

ETA: ALSO, fifteendozentimes wrote this very excellent post about policing Spencer fucking Smith's gender presentation by calling him a lesbian and every word of it is truth.

*dragging self away from work email before I close every thread with "arguments without data bore me" or "clearly this can't be decided right now, but I'll take the action item of contacting the appropriate person to escalate it to" or "for future reference, can you please follow an actual procedure when you have this sort of question?"*

If, HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, I were MAYBE writing a short fic about Jake and Nog working out the complexities of a human-Ferengi relationship (rated, at this point, PG-13, but with lots of discussion of alien kinks and cultural assimilation), would anyone be interested in betaing it?

Before you say yes you should probably be aware that its working title is "tube grub fic." /o\
