I've read all the stories that have been posted for no tags, and have enjoyed them all. I won't post recs yet as quite a few still haven't been posted but will do so when they're all there. Saying that, at the moment it could easily be summed up by saying, read them all.

Included in those posted is the one for my prompt, which is just lovely and a lot of fun. Though I was surprised to see the main pairing wasn't one I'd actually asked for. Not that it mattered as I really enjoyed the story and use of the actual prompt. Obviously, with it being a double-blind challenge I don't know who wrote it, but in case nonnie reads back later, thank you! Your story was great and please don't worry about the wrong pairing thing.

Yesterday I also read a Leverage story I really enjoyed. I'm not sure if I got it from a rec on my flist, maybe Dine? But, however I came across it the story was great. It's OT3, always my favourite in the fandom, and is nicely long, paced well and has a ridiculously hot sex scene. Like A Map of a Place You've Never Been

I watched Strictly last night and was happy with the result. As a bonus the leaving dance made me laugh a lot. Blackpool next week, which is always fun, if only for the fact they tend to throw everything at the dances, including props and backup dancers.

Today I've been out, got some groceries and am now bundled up in my dressing gown as it's a bit nippy out there. But I have hot tea, and the heating has just clicked on, so it'll soon warm up.

Nice! I still need to read more but I will read them all

Being bundled up is awesome😁😁

I'm so impressed with the quality. The Mikey/Pete's made me so happy.

Yes it is! I love my old dressing gown, it's so comfy and cozy.

One day I will get around watching Leverage! Short version of the story: fandom went so bonkers for it that it kicked off my hype backlash and, by the time I was ready to watching it, both Netflix and cable networks had taken it off the air, lol. The reruns, I mean.

I've often wondered if it will be something I'll love watching OR if it'll crash and burn for me the way that, say, SGA did back when I tried to watch the pilot ep?

thanks for the Leverage recommendation! you didn't find it through my journal, but I'm glad you mentioned it, as I enjoyed it a lot

[frausorge]

There are some real gems among those stories!

Yay for being wrapped up warm. I'm in an old MCR hoodie with a throw blanket over my lap right now and maybe I will make some tea too! *high five*

[wenchpixie]

SO MANY good ones this round! I guess one or two people have fallen down an MCR joy-hole :D :D

The leaving dance had me laughing so much - the whole thing with her obviously wanting to get down right through to the conga, magic :).

I'm interested to see how the better dancers do with the bigger floor - a really gallopy quickstep would do me rightly!

[turps]

I agree, which is impressive considering how fast they had to be written.

Oh, I like your comfort combo. It's lovely when you're inside and comfy when it's cold outside.

[turps]

Yes, yes they have, and that's great. The guessing post will be interesting as right now I have no idea about most.

Everything about the leaving dance had me laughing and to end up with the conga including Tess and Claudio was brilliant. They were obviously having a load of fun.

I love watching them dance on that springy floor. I know he won't win but my favourite to watch is Chris, if they give him something high energy I can see him bouncing like Tigger :D

I must have found it on a Leverage link surf then.

But however I did, I'm glad you enjoyed it too. It kept me well entertained as I was reading.

I still catch episodes of Leverage now and then and enjoy them. But, it's one of those fandoms where I think the fic is better.

While I didn't dislike the character as much as some, Nate and his manpain used to annoy me at times. I mean, he had cause but sometimes I felt like rolling my eyes while thinking, again?

But, I really do like Eliot, Hardison and Parker, and the way they all interact. It's why my love of the OT3 is so solid.

I really enjoyed the Pete/Gerard one, it's so lovely. I've so far been too crochety to read any of the others - apparently I'm getting progressively more NoTPish over the years xD I'm sure I will, though, new MCR content is always good :D

[turps]

Oh yes, the Gerard/Pete was good.

I don't have a noTP in bandom but totally understand having pairings that just make you back away slowly or not want to read.

What I like is, despite the pairings, hardly any are pwp. I mean, I'm not opposed to a good pwp, but I especially love world-building and scenes from real life.

[turlough]

I still haven't read any of the no_tags stories I've tabbed. Maybe tomorrow...

It's always fun when you discover a fic you really enjoy!

Bundling up and drinking hot tea is an excellent way to combat a chilly evening!

[turps]

I don't know if you've read any of the stories yet or not, but I enjoyed a lot of them. Shame they still haven't been posted though. I feel for the mods.

I do love a good hot tea. Also a blanket, it's the perfect combination when it's cold.
