[Rec] "Morning and Evening, Day and Night" - Homestuck

Drop whatever you are doing and go read my AMAZING Betapalooza gift. NOW.

Morning and Evening, Day and Night: Rose and Dave, Mobiles of the Ekumen, find more than they expected when they visit O. Jade/Rose/John/Dave. (23,000 words) [ETA: by digimaniac33]

I don't know what I did to be this lucky, but seriously, twenty-three thousand words of sedoretu fic! With culture clashes, and people being emotionally honest even when they're not very well equipped for it, and focus on all the individual component twosomes (including the platonic sibling relationships), and some really neat implicit contrasts drawn between the Harleybert family and the Strilonde family, and lots of everyday details of life on a farm, and then a happy ending to top it all off. I may have died a little bit from sheer happiness!

Seriously, this is like Christmas and my birthday all rolled into one and I need everyone to go shower my mystery gifter in the praise they deserve!

wherein Liz has vague thoughts about Remix

Assignments for Remix Redux 12 went out on Sunday, and... I actually got assigned to the person I half-suspected I'd be assigned to, given that I specifically changed my offers (what I'm willing to write) based on some requests (what people had already written) that were sadly unmatched. And I think I am pretty much stuck with that one matching fandom, since I am either completely unfamiliar with my remixee's other fandoms, or know them only through vague internet osmosis. (Well, and there's a couple Yuletide things, but it's really hard to remix stories that already seem perfect and complete in themselves, you know?)

Fortunately I do like the matching fandom, and I've already marked out a few possible stories to play with after a quick read-through of my remixee's archive. Now I get to ignore the whole business for at least two weeks, because I am the Queen of Procrastination! :-)
