I would add Shalimar's "Five Years and One Night" to the angst list.
I also don't like to drown in angst, so usually after reading something that goes too far in that direction, I will go for a re-read of something on the other end of the spectrum to give myself mental balance :) But that would usually be something fun and/or hot like "Above Rubies" (Rachel Howard) or something sweet like "The Dreaming Sea" (Revely) - not generally picket fences / babyfic. Not to say I haven't read my share of the babyfic, but it almost always feels out of character and therefore does not succeed in my mental rebalancing efforts :)

PS I did not care for Iolokus either, fwiw.
