effex | Bad days call for drastic measures (no, the other drastic measures)

Back to School our busiest and most stressful period at work and this year is particularly bad - we're understaffed, multiple inventory shipments are delayed, we just had a major management change, the weather is out of whack and the AC is on the fritz. Today has been especially shit.

I really want a long, actiony, slightly schmoopy Losers fic. Or long, actiony, slightly schmoopy Sanctuary (where is my epic Henry/Bigfoot at Comic Con fic?) or Femslash Of Any Fandom fic.

Alas, I do not have any of these ~~though I could probably find the first and third if I looked hard enough...~~. But that's okay, I've got favorites to fall back on. Let me tell you about them (also, making lists is soothing).

Diplomatic Relations (Naruto, Lee/Gaara) by

maldoror_gw: The one where Lee is a terrible diplomat but a good (boy)friend.

Twice Shy (Star Trek Reboot, Bones/Kirk) by

sarkasticfics: The one where Bones is a werewolf and Jim is his mate. Werewolves IN SPACE.

The first eight don't count (The Losers, Cougar/Jensen) by

storm_petrel: The one where Jensen is a were(house)cat.

The Doctor and Mr. Jones (Torchwood, Jack/Ianto) by

copperbadge: The one (no, the other one) where Ianto is a Time Lord.

Juggling Act (due South, RayK/Frasier) by

cesperenza: The one where they go undercover at the circus.

Resurrection, Reconstruction, and Redemption (The Avengers, Steve/Tony) by

elspethdixon and

seanchai: The one where Steve is brought back to life and (almost) everything goes to shit all at once.

Moving On (Smallville+DCU, Clark/Lex) by

astolat: The one where Lex conquers the galaxy in style.

Near Miss (The Dresden Files, Harry/John) by binz and shiplizard: The one where Marcone is a mechanic.

Man I Used to Be (Leverage, Alec/Eliot) by

jendavis: The one where Eliot gets kidnapped. (links to epilogue)

Skipping a couple SG:A, Merlin, Smallville, Sentinel, AI RPS and Harry Potter fics because I am lazy and there are already an awful lot of white dudes on this list.

How about you? What are your favorite long, actiony, slightly schmoopy fics?
