oh, hello, very old book_club rec. fancy meeting you here!

i was just searching for an off-gossamer link to this fic because i'm going to rec it littlegreen42 as, wait for it...a guilty pleasure fic. i agree with you, Leuco, i've always thought of it as a guilty pleasure too, for the same reasons. though i also agree with everyone about Oracle handling the her tropes very, very well. Oracle's fanfic is usually not to my taste, because she tends to lean towards the romantic side of shipping, which i don't often enjoy. but in the case of October Skies it really works - maybe because this is one of her later fics so it's more steady in tone, and also because it's holidayfic, meaning i think everyone is in the mood for a little more sweetness than usual. her christmas fic, How to Fly, is pretty great that way too.

i wish i hadn't missed this when it was actually being discussed. alas, twas before my time. *g*
