pleaseeeee somebody distract me from this black hole of a book i'm reading.

[elapses]

In honor of a laaaazy Sunday afternoon, I present you with four stories that make me happier than The Republic ever could (damn you, anyway, Polisci 2004):

Something Borrowed, Something Blue by chibi_care (The Office)
Post-Casino Night glee tinged with you know, reality, which separates it from pure escapism. Pretty prose, too!

Drunk by Punk Manueverability and Sabine (The West Wing)
Josh, Donna, CJ, Sam, and Ainsley at a bar, which, yes, is as fun as it sounds.

Roadtrip by Alcott (The X-Files)
This story should be the classic of classics, part of the primer all X-Files fans are supposed to read while diving into the fandom, because it's happy but not unrealistically so, mushy but in a classy sort of way, and quietly hysterical too. The fact that it's incredibly well-written is just the cherry on top.

Hotassery is Not Special Dispensation To Be an Ass by hackthis (Friday Night Lights
Perfectly characterized Tim and Landry conversations make me realize I need to read a lot more FNL fanfiction.

Aww, crap. I have to read The Republic for my Classics course in a couple months. Too bad that it's apparently a black hole. :( Good luck with the reading though!

*flits over to read the Office story* Hooray for procrastination! ;D

Hahahaha, I'm sorry I added this sense of foreboding to your reading list :\

I hope you like(d?) it!
