Okay, I lied...WW recs

I'm still up reading fics. *g*

( Anyone in the mood for a good Sam/Josh fic? )

I'm very intrigued by the relationship between Sam and Josh, and the fact that they are both the Good Guys, even though they're not always good guys. They're both flawed and lacking, imperfect and more than slightly screwed up. They match, and they fit, but not enough to acheive the impossible and really make it work.

Okay, now I'm going to bed. Just going to quickly reread Te's Ethan/Steerpike, and then I'm going to sleep... ...or possibly watching Parkinsons...

Oh baby, baby...

I'm.. nyeh. Got housework to do, and just couldn't be bothered to do it. This could be the result of not getting to bed until 1am last night (blame it on good WW Sam/Josh fics and Te's Steerpike/Ethan, which is just... Mmmmmm.... And I'm showing no signs of being bored of it any time soon.). Plus, the computer woke me up at 5am because I left it connected to the 'net.

I'm still tossing up as to whether I want to curl up in bed with the Gormenghast book (Mmmmm... Steerpike), or watch the current season of Buffy. (Thinking of that, hnix I just realised I still owe you money for those. I will send it. Cross my heart. *g*)

I made a nice little list of all the things I should get done this arfternoon, but I just don't want to do anything productive today. And, Britney Spears' Hit Me, Baby, One More Time is going around and around my head, even though I really don't like the song.
"The reason I breath is you..." *rolls eyes*

I'm pointing to my icon as we speak.

Sam and Josh. Do you know how much I love these boys at the moment? I love them when they're efficient and intimidating; I love them when they're fighting the good fight. I love them when they're tetchy and adorable, and have lived on caffeine and adrenaline for days, with their poor sleep-deprived minds still try to function (like in Sam, Meet Morpheus).

But most of all? I love them when they're emotionally falling apart. I love watching the pressure build and seeing them struggle to keep it together, and for the most part succeeding. Not necessarily being healthy about it, but keeping the country in running order, doing their jobs and keeping the nation on track. I love the way that the emotional breakdowns are always private, personal affairs, where it can only take one person to damn you or save you. I love Sam closing in on himself, and Josh pushing people away, and the way that sometimes, just sometimes, all they need is the other to make it all right. (As in Keep Looking by Candle Beck, which gives us front row seats to Josh slowly falling apart.)

And, sometimes, as in Held, it just can't be fixed.

Can we tell I've spent the day reading WW fics? *g* I like my angst as much as anyone, and at the moment, these boys are really hitting the spot.
