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.

Uggggggggh. Gross, gross, gross. Blade already said on twitter exactly my feelings on that, and uggggggh. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that.

And sadly I don't really have any recs, either, because I am pretty sure you've also read Everything in my fandom right now. Oh, maybe this, though -- When I Think (Oh It Terrifies Me) by

celli, which is Avengers, Steve/Tony, and I read and liked a lot last night.

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.

Darling It Is No Joke, which is ridiculous and fluffy Derek/Stiles Teen Wolf AU nonsense, which features absolutely no dodgy consent issues, surprise knotting, or teenage angst (because they're just meeting in their 20s). It only got posted today, and it is LOVELY.

And I will add more as I come to them this evening, if you like. Do you read Merlin fic? Because I'm rereading bunches of that at the moment.

Has he no shame? :(

I hunt out soulbond and marriage of convenience fics when I'm cold and tired and angry (and it's even better if they're crossovers). I seem to have a lot on my pinboard for Star Trek, but there are other fandoms as well.

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.
