Had a day at work that was pretty good right up until the last fifteen minutes, wherein I asked a coworker to please put his dishes in the dishwasher and turn it on before he left and he said "I can put them in the dishwasher now and you can turn it on, I don't know where the stuff is."
He has worked there longer than me, and doing his dishes is not in my job description. I remarked, with my eyebrows up, that it was under the sink [sidebar: duh, where the hell else would it be? I hate learned incompetence], and that I was kind of shocked. He asked me what the big deal was, I said the big deal was that he had never turned the dishwasher on in the entire time he'd worked there, and he said he didn't see that as a problem.
Reader, I murdered him.
(Not really.)
(In fact, reader, I ended up turning the dishwasher on because I was the last to leave. Which is, by the way, what I always do when I am the last one to leave, because that is what humans do.)
Anyway, the long and the short of it is that I'm still pissed and I could really use some epic slash or fslash recs, maybe with some pining? You know my fandoms. Whatever your go-to fic is when you're pissed and hungry and kinda cold.
ETA: I should probably stick here what I read tonight:
A Partial Dictionary of the 21st Century by
sam_storyteller, Avengers, Steve/Tony
-- honestly I felt like the Steve/Tony was almost pasted on; this is a really fantastic Steve character study, highly recommended.
Darling It Is No Joke by
thehoyden, Teen Wolf, Stiles/Derek
I honestly have no idea who these people are but this is great and involves food and making out and werewolves, like, it's just delightful.

Other than that, I am slowly reading my way though this epic Narnia fanfic which is set almost entirely in Spare Oom and is the Pevensies and related Friends of Narnia and their friends during the War and I am finding incredibly absorbing. http://archiveofourown.org/users/rthstewart/pseuds/rthstewart/works Fair warning: IT IS REALLY LONG, if you get hooked then BID FAREWELL TO EVERYTHING ELSE FOR A WHILE. I'm still only on the second fic and it's been a week of picking it up and reading a few chapters at a time.

Date: 2012-05-07 07:21 am (UTC)I have read everything in your fandom, multiple times in some cases :P But thanks for those recs, they look neat! And, holy shit, you were not joking about that Narnia stuff being long. Holy moly. Is all of her stuff in the same universe or is it just the Stone Gryphon stuff or?

Date: 2012-05-07 08:09 am (UTC)and this is a super-long arthur/merlin fic where friendship turns to love! awww! except it kind of has surprising mystery-type shit going on which is briefly angsty towards the end but (shocker!) it all resolves happily and also merlin and arthur renovate a house which is TOTALLY a metaphor for their love!

Date: 2012-05-07 04:14 pm (UTC)Also, Exile, Opacity of Paradise, Literacy", and Letters from the Northern Continent all by the hoyden, all Garak/Bashir, Star Trek Deep Space 9 and well worth reading even if you're not a DS9 fan.
If you feel ilke some original fic, the latest S2B2 issue came out recently if you haven't already read that. The theme is Crime & Punishment, but the previous issues are worth reading through as well.
Currently I'm reading my way through Clint/Couson fics on Ao3 in descending order of length. I haven't found anything particularly brilliant though.
