So, coming up on three weeks ago, I stumbled into a Shameless marathon on Showtime. Coming up on two weeks ago, having mostly forgotten about it, I stumbled into a Shameless marathon on Showtime. And then I found an edit of the entire Ian/Mickey storyline on YouTube. And then I spent ten days doing very little other than reading Shameless fic. Turns out there is quite a lot of it!
I have no idea if this is a more or less bad than what I'd been doing previously, which was endlessly refreshing politics twitter and looking at pictures of cats on instagram.
( spoilers for, I guess, all past seasons and the current promo material? )
So if anyone wants Shameless recs, ask and I can go back through my history, but also you can basically just sort by kudos - which I did, but then it turns out I skipped some some of it because it seemed from the summaries like it was the sort of nonsense, ~uwu~ or any-two-guys or whatever bland variety AU, stuff that picks up a ton of cross-fandom clicks if its long and internally consistent. And then it turned out most of it was actually still deeply character-based, awesome, dense, rich, hot storytelling.
All this fic reading is sort of making me want to do yuletide, or, more feasibly, poke at some of my abandoned WiP longfic ideas to maybe do a thing for the Shousetsu Bang*Bang year-end issue.
Or disappear back into the void again, which is far more likely. 2019, y'all. Not a fan.
