AUs we need more of:
Political. Presidential candidate Rogers, running mate Barnes. I am also in favour of one where Senator Rogers is the candidate and Barnes is husband or security.

stating the bleeding obvious
watching one of those Stonehenge specials, hoping for a nugget of new info. (you watch enough of these, the programs are 3-5% interesting new angle/discovery, 40% dramatic reconstruction/bad graphics, 55-57% yawn) I did get it, but only right near the beginning, about the outer circle of bluestones that pre-date the sarsens that’re basically ( Read more... ) -

Me:'...I just write AUs, don't I? I never actually write canon. AUs with meticulously researched random tiny details.'
Jane: *patpat* 'But good AUs.'
