The Silver Lining of Being Sick

[mysid]

Yes, I am still sick and still housebound. (I can walk in an almost straight line, but I'm still too dizzy to drive a car. There is an upside to being stuck in the house--and for the most part stuck in bed--I've been spending a lot of time on-line guilt free.

While I was trolling ff.net for any hidden treasure, I discovered a FAKE fanfic that's actually very, very good. (Remember FAKE? Anyone? Dead sexy black-haired cop pursuing and eventually winning his shy brown-haired partner--Sirius and Remus in manga disguise! That's them in the little icon. Say, "Hi," boys. Oh--sorry--they're too busy.)

Anyway--A New Day by brit_columbia is a multi-chapter fanfic set just after the end of the manga series. It's Dee and Ryo coming to terms with their new relationship, Ryo coming to terms with finally admitting he is gay, both of them (and others) dealing with homophobia, and an actual case they need to solve/prove. (Not like the psuedo-detective work they often did between snogs in the manga.)

The story's not finished yet, but the author is adding new chapters steadily and seems to have a strong grasp of exactly where the story is going, so no fear of being left hanging. So, if you read FAKE, go read A New Day.

Ha! I never read it myself but I do remember my entire flist being obsessed with it. Too funny :D

Gosh, I came here to thank you for your extremely helpful tutorial on tags, and I find a plug for my story! You're an angel. Thank you so much.

All of my chapters are now tagged, thanks to you. I feel that I'm now one rung higher on the low-tech ladder than I was yesterday.

I got into FAKE because of you! And now I'm playing Dee in an RP and totally adore the experience - although it's been years since I read the books.

I'll definitely read this story. Thanks for the link. And hope you feel much better soon.

Yikes, I hope you feel better soon. That's miserable. I freak out if I'm dizzy more than a day.
