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.

Wasn't that an amazing book? I've already read it about four times, and I've been recommending it to people at the drop of a hat.

And--good news--rwday just told me that she's working on the sequel. It's enough to make this old lady squee like a tweenage schoolgirl. Squee!

I should make a David/Callan icon.

Yes it was a wonderful book. I read it three times and refrained from lending it to my sister in case I never got it back. I should really buy her her own copy for her birthday.

And the sequel! I'm so happy! I learned about that from a comment the author made on your journal, and now I can't wait until I can get my hands on it.

A David/Callan icon? Yes, you definitely should!
