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.

Amish!Justin?
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
Re: Amish!Justin?
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.
Re: Amish!Justin?
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...
Re: Amish!Justin?
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.
Re: Amish!Justin?
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
