I'm looking for recs featuring Sam/Bee in which Sam is freaked out because of Bee's hologram for one reason or another. I've read a couple and was wondering if there were anymore out there.

Warnings: n/a
Word count: 3225
Prompt: Suikoden III, Luc/Sarah: fancy dress date - when in Harmonia, one must take care to keep up appearances

Word Count: 2262
Summary: “If you are going to leave.” Oriya keeps his dark eyes closed tightly as he tries to keep his courage. “Then at least give me a good memory.” The last words fall to a whisper as his eyes slowly open.
A/N: I’m so sorry this one is late! Life got a lil hetic for me and before I knew it I was scrambling to try to get this done. But then I decided to do better quality and have it a day or two late then rush to meet the deadline.

Word count: 1078
A/N: 11th - Fruits Basket, Kyo/Tohru - Kyo's monster form: could you understand beauty of the beast? Direct spoilers all the way to the ending of the manga. This is essentially an excuse to make one huge Tamlin allusion. (That was even the original title).

So, I was reading a fic for a fandom where the two most common pairings are AxB and CxD. Both are non-canon pairings, though they are established fanon. The fic in question, however, is my otp for the fandom, BxC, a relatively obscure pairing. The fic itself wasn't half bad. It was awkwardly worded in places, but it's a really, really old fic and the author was very new to writing at the time she wrote it so it didn't bother me so much.

Or, it didn't until the author broke the nice, comfortable flow of the fic to have C, who's POV it was written from, explain why he wasn't with D and why B was with him rather then A. Not only was this completly unnecessary, but it broke the mood and flow of the story, jarring me right out of the fic. It would have been forgivable if AxB or CxD were canon pairings, but they're not (regardless of how suggestive the official art is). They are fanon, and therefore don't require explaination of their breakup, and if one feels they really need to throw it in there, could you at least make sure it smoothly works into the story, not just "What about A and D you ask? Oh, they just weren't right for us!"

Title: Feels Like Fading Away.

A/N: Written for springkink: Let Dai, Dai/Jaehee: reunited - we aren't Romeo and Juliet

( Feels Like Fading Away. )

I have no idea if such a thing exists, but is there a mod that increases the duration of TS2 Sim pregnancy (or something I can even go in and just edit myself)?

Thanks in advance!

Verse: IDW AU

Title: Writers' Block: The Great Myth
Summary: ... since I began writing, I've heard many different people exclaim "What shall I do? The horrid Overlord Writer's Block doth wound me greviously!"

Down the Rabbit Hole, Alice

So today I got on the M23 bus and went to transfer to the 6 train, everything went swimmingly until I swiped my metrocard and it kept telling me to "please swipe again", now I've had this issue before but I mean, this card REALLY was not letting me go. I went to the booth lady and she gave me the little envelope to mail it in and told me that there was still money on it, but it was probably damaged and told me to buy a new metrocard. This was frustrating, but I'm fairly amicable so I went along with it.

Now I had a shiny brand new metrocard with $20.75 on it(after swiping myself into the train). Fast forward about 8 hours later, it's time to go home from school, and lo and behold, my awesome new metrocard is telling me to please swipe again! A lot! So now I went up to the new ticket booth lady, explained what had happened and she checked the balance on the card which said $00.00. Needless to say, I was losing my mind. She was very nice about it and let me go in for free. My question to you, New Yorkers is: has this happened to you before? Do you know why? I didn't really mind dealing with it with the first card because there was only about 9 bucks on it, but to have it happen twice in one day when I had only used my new card once is more than a little nerve wracking.

I honestly have no idea what went wrong here, maybe some of you have had a similar issue and can help me out? Thanks a bunch.
Lovingly,
Allegra

I recently downloaded these gorgeous recolors from GoS of a Yu hair, but the mesh is not included. The mesh is supposed to be found here. Keyword, supposed. When I click on it, I get a really funky error message and then the site just stops responding altogether.

I poked through the booty, but since it's a free hair it's not there. Since Juice used to be in with Peggy, I went and looked there, but obviously, that was a longshot and I wasn't expecting it to be there, and sho 'nuff, it wasn't.

Does anyone out there have an alternate download for that mesh, or have the mesh and would be willing to share?

Thanks!

Before I even write this, I know that half of the comments are going to be some variation of "My God, you're such a egotistical entitled brat!" but nevertheless, I shall carry on.

Dear Fangirl,

So you have this fic where Hero A and chaotic neutral Anti-Villain B (who in this fic is apparently now a hero?  Wth did I miss something?) go on a desperate cross-country road trip together, pursued and dogged in their flight by Villain C and his teenage Henchwoman D (who in canon is kind of supposed to be dead but I digress).

The problems with your fic are as follows:

Guys, be smart. Don't fall for this one.

The other day, I was at Walgreens. At their front end, they have displays of items like candy, soda, and prophylactics. One of the items was generic skin softener- "made with real olive oil!" the label announced. It was $5 for a 6oz bottle. Curious, I looked at the ingredients:

100% pure olive oil.

Yeah. Or you could just buy some olive oil in those big jugs for about $8 and use some on your skin- provided you don't start with mildly dry, normally oily skin. A better idea is a wash with rice bran and oatmeal in that case. But if you usually have very dry skin, olive oil has been used in the Middle East for that purpose for centuries. If you're looking for something lighter, go with jojoba or almond oil. Grapeseed oil works as well, and if you put about 1 drop essential oils to 10 drops base oil, it can smell really good too! Just make sure the essential oil is safe to use on the skin. Not all of them are!
