Get/together this weekend was awesome. It was great to see people again (for the first time in over two years in most cases) and meet new ones (including ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
labellementeuse who has been on my flist for years) and it was just a lot of fun. Lots of great discussion, fun panels and pretty new fandoms to explore. (I will end up reading XMen: First Class, Thor or Avengers fic soon, I know I will. It's pretty surprising I haven't fallen down those holes yet actually). I think my Fringe pimp went okay but I really wish I'd included more video and I kept thinking of things I should have mentioned after I finished, but it was a good experience and I'd be keen to do one again.
However, despite the awesome it was a very full-on weekend (9am-9pm both days, including travel time) so tonight I went home, had a simple dinner and just chilled out and it was just what I needed.
A lot of that time was spent reading fic, two of which were amazing:
1. Early Returns (15565 words) by
rageprufrock
Fandom: Inception (2010)
Rating: Mature

Summary: Thinking that a reporter genuinely likes you is pretty much on par with feeling like you really are special to that stripper.
I haven't read Inception fic in months and months but I'm so glad I took the time to read this. Arthur/Eames, Newspaper AU. Oh, Arthur. <3
2. All The Earth Awaits Thee (Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny). Written by a yet-to-be-revealed author for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Oh. This is just, heart-breaking but amazingly written and so real. Steve is diagnosed with leukemia and it's so them. It's so well done but also feels so personal and I really can't recommend it enough. Also, while heart-wrenching, it does have a happy ending.
I also found time to watch new Fringe.
