Something cheerful please people

Ok, so I just got done reading Remission by Simon. It was a good story. However, I suddenly feel the need to read something upbeat. Anything upbeat.

It doesn't have to be fluffy or sappy, just cheerful. But not crackfic, please.

Any help would be seriously appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit: I have a couple of super-fast recs in the comments, but any others would be appreciated.

Edit 2: This was not meant as a reccomendation. While meaning no offence to the author, this is a truly depressing story, made far, far worse by the personal connections and reality it involves. It is not a story I will ever re-read. If you do choose to read it, don't blame me when it upsets you.

Hi everyone!
I followed the thread with lots of interest.
I never read anything written by Simon -actually, I'm very new in the fandom so I think there is a lot to discover, still- but I found highly useful to know what fics can break your heart in two.
I'm not into death!Fic, neither AwfulEnding!fics, or so, and knowing myself, I would totally go into them just to finish the reading and feeling totally destroyed.

So thank you!

As well I followed sodoesrachael's suggestion and went to find Sapphire's fic.
It's AMAZING.
Just to make it easier for everyone to find it, here's the link:

It's the first part but in her memories you can find it all, I guess.
It absolutely worths some attention!

Thanks for the link, I was about to go looking for it.

you're welcome!

Oh can you give me a link to Ass!Baby Jesus please?

Myrna's fic always make me smile, especially this
Domesticity

Thanksgiving

Thanks, I'll check them out

Check comment above.

Thanks

Thank you so much!

Have you checked out MPREG Satire by Jane?

I read a couple of paragraphs then had this really really bad feeling, so I scrolled right to the end, found out Justin died and deleted that page off my history.

Wish I could delete if off my memory too.

I second everyone's warning. I'm not against death fics, but I'm against B/J being made to suffer.

The really really sad part of it, is that I found Remission right after I read some Ashleigh Kinnerson fics. Being very pro B/J, that was another form of torture for me.

I'm still recovering! Anyway, hope the recs given cheer you up. I find reading crack!fics help so here's one of my favourites - Gunslinger's Bride by Charley Ryan http://charley-ryan.livejournal.com/11856.html

The previous recs did help, but more are always appreciated, thank you.

I wish I'd skipped earlier (I read most of it before I couldn't bear anymore and skipped to the end), but I'm one of those people who has to finish reading what they start. I've slogged through incredibly boring 300 page books, just because I started it so I have to finish it! Remission was a lot like that.

Thanks again for the rec.

I'm just shamelessly taking all the recs and bookmarking them to read later, but what's this about Amish!Justin? Could I beg for a link?

Also, regarding the "topic", I also have met a story with such a terrible ending that it took me weeks to recover. If only I'd know beforehand that the author likes to either start happy and end miserable, or start miserable and end happy. Too bad I took an overload of miserable, because the sequel starts miserable. (But that was in Naruto fandom, so no one is really interested.)

I feel your pain, but I can't think of anything to rec. Sorry!

... or maybe... By Any Other Name (http://community.livejournal.com/qaf_challenges/72285.html) or Cupcake (http://eleveninches.livejournal.com/138433.html) or Identity Crisis (http://www.suzvoy.com/qaf/identitycrisis.html) or Like Having Sex (http://yearningvoid.net/stories/julad/000070.html) or NOM de GUS (http://community.livejournal.com/qaf_challenges/8907.html) or something super-long: Sunshine Files (http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/TS.htm)?

I hope there's something you haven't read!

Luv, reb

Amish!Justin - completely insane, and yet I still feel the need to re-read, here - http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/GF/Devil.htm

There aren't words to explain that story, you just have to read it. And giggle.

It sucks when that happens in a story, no matter what the fandom! I appreciate the links, there're definately at least two I haven't, possibly more - I'm rubbish at remembering the names of stories.

Welcome to the club? I can't remember names either. I do remember what happened - sometimes in quite detail - but the name of the story or author always escapes my memory.

Thanks for the link. I'll have to bookmark it for now. I've been hanging out in here way too much; I have a loooooong list of fics to read now. (And here I was worried that I didn't have anything to read!)

But yeah, the Naruto story: At first there is a great prank war and school stuff that are very funny and inventive, then Sasuke and Naruto end up together until Itachi shows up with a gun, shooting almost everything that moves, including Sasuke. Then Itachi dies in the end and Sasuke goes into coma from his injuries. The sequel... Uh, let's not get into the sequel. Anyway, it was traumatic. *shudders*

Someday I will read it all and get my happy ending, but not anytime soon. Maybe in a year or two.

But if there are giggles in the horizon from the Amish story, I might be intrigued to read it a.s.a.p...

Glad to know I'm not the only one! What really annoys me is when I can remember one really great scene from a story, and absolutely nothing else. Of course that's when this site comes in!

If stories in that fandom can go from school pranks to mass murderers, I'm kind of glad it's not a fandom I like. At least QAF writers generally only kill off one or two of the characters!

I've been spending way too much time here too, my list of bookmarks is massive! Still, at least neither of us will be bored!. Amish!Justin guarantees laughter, even if it's only because it is so very silly. But it's well worth the read, especially if you need a mood-lifter.

Naruto fandom is usually good, but to get a mass murderer into the fic and IC, he has to be a school shooter. (At least I think that was the logic.)

I've started to read Amish!Justin, and it's very nice. I'm looking forward to more. :)

Too bad this site is only for QaF, though. There are a bunch of Harry Potter fics that I only remember some scenes, and I have no idea how to find them again. I have read too much... @.@

But I feel blessed to have found this community (and by complete accident!). I do have one fic I want to find at some point, but first I need to go through the tags and memories, and such.

New site's are scawy... But I'll do my best to be good and play by the rules. :D

Luv, reb

Oh god, it's like a train wreck. I have to read even though everyone's said not to. Can someone hit me over the head to selectively erase this post from my memory?

Maybe I'll bury it deeeeeeep in my bookmarks.

You bookmarked it? Are you nuts? I deleted it from my history so I couldn't stumble over it again!

Well, it was either bookmark it to read later (which may never come seeing as how much there is to read) or keep it up as my current read-in-progress. I opted for the former in hopes it's so far down the list I'll die before I get to it:)

Yes, I'm a cat and I know what they say about curiosity!

I'd bookmark something happy to read right after it. Seriously.

Oh God, I am still traumatized by that frigging thing. The fact that I was supposed to be okay with how Justin was treated by everyone after they got back together made me hate all of the characters--even Gus!

The Amish story is absolutely adorable and weirdly addictive.

I have never and will never read anything else by that author - I seriously don't need to be more depressed. But now I'm curious - how did they treat him?
