jazzfishI don't read fanfic.
This isn't due to some grand principle about fanfic not being Real Literature. Quite the opposite, really. I know that once I start reading fic it is a rabbit-hole from which I will not emerge.
(I feel the same way about Lois Bujold and Terry Pratchett at this point. I read a half-dozen or so Discworlds in high school and after, and enjoyed them as light entertainment. Then at some point I wanted a comedy with a bit of a point to it and so I read Small Gods, which was ... decidedly not that. Put me off Discworld entirely. I believe all the people who say that both Pratchett and Bujold are SO AMAZINGLY GOOD and I am not prepared to devote myself to their books.)
I also don't read fanfic because my screen reading habits are atrocious: I skim, I skip, I miss important bits without always realising I've done it.
But... I enjoyed Good Omens (book and show), and I've enjoyed Sarah's GO ficlets. And apparently this week I needed something fluffy to read. Hence, Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach.
Outsourcing torydra_wong from whom I heard of it, So, many people watched the plants scene in Good Omens and went CROWLEY GET SOME FUCKING THERAPY PLEASE. This is the near-100K fic in which Crowley gets some fucking therapy.
Recommended.
