say it with delicious summaries

[cimorene]

Decided to use these up today. If you're dying to read something, the advantage of delicious summaries over plebefic headers is that you can probably find them by pasting it into the search box on delicious...

1. 
   Jenson is a ghost and Jared is the only one who can see him.
   
2. 
   jen is a healer in a nomadic desert tribe who is held hostage by jaret, the leader of a barbarian horde who will sell jensen's tribe into slavery.
   
3. 
   Jensen's fiance dies, and he gets impregnated by Jared [So... post-mortem impregnation? That's new.]
   
4. 
   They keep calling him beautiful. Pretty. “Come on. Look this way. Give us a smile, Jensen.” He smiles and blinks against the flashes, fighting the urge to lower his eyes, to hide the blush burning under layers of makeup. Sweat runs down his back, his hands tremble. He’s not pretty, not beautiful. He’s small and weak and pathetic and one day they’re all gonna figure it out. One day…
   
5. 
   When police officer Jared Padalecki moved to the small town of Forks he never expected to meet someone like Dr. Jensen Cullen. As it turns out, he's in for a hell of a surprise... or two.

5. Oh no they didn't....

Ahaha, #5 ftw.

I like #4, too. So much woobie emoness in one short summary.

[bethbethbeth]

Actually, #4 reminds me of many stories in many fandoms in 1997. Ah, good times. :)

[torachan]

It's a classic.

#4-type cutting/suicidal/eating disorder stories were also so memorably common in SGA plebefic on Wraithbait in 2005 that I actually nicknamed it the Rodney McKay, Angsty Goth Teenie Archive.

I actually feel like I tried to read #4 once. It must have been on someone's recs list.

Unless there is more than one Angsty Serious Low Self Esteem Jensen fic.

[flamebyrd]

Also I just realised that we've probably never spoken before and now I've commented twice in close succession and probably creeped you out, so, hi! I like your recs! And your fic! But I am very bad at leaving feedback.

*snort* I was actually thinking of one specific one from SW:TPM, but really? It was allllllll over.

1. It's highly possible there could be more than one, knowing fandom, but I haven't encountered anymore in the first, like, 20 pages of delicious bookmarks yet, which I take to mean that they're at least not currently very popular in the more networked part of the fandom (it's possible that they have a subset of users not using delicious too of course).

2. No worries! You'd be surprised how much that's been happening lately. DW's kinda a clean slate, I guess, and everyone's subscribing to new people who look cool with a freedom most of us didn't feel on LJ. I think it's neat. Hi! I'm really bad at names, even LJ names, but commenting three times in a row and your quite distinctive icon I think means that I will even remember who you are, unless you don't comment again for like 8 months.
