Quick fic rec.

[ultraviolet730]

theholyinnocent has written a wonderful Elliot-POV ficlet, The House of Venti. It's smart, funny and poignant. And it makes you long for the good old days of the Benson/Stabler patnership. If I had Dick Wolf's email address, I'd send him this link. (And probably a lot of profanity-laced ranting, as well. Which would be why I don't have that address

Feel better! Who poisoned you? Want me to hurt 'em? :)

-H

Yes, please! That should be your new job - culinary enforcer, ridding the world of evil cooks and bad food. But really, I'm not sure whom to blame. I got one of those prepared gourmet pasta meals from a place I go to all the time. I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon.

I need my own personal chef :)

Thanks, babe. It's never too late for birthday wishes.

And THI totally rocks my world with everything she writes. And "The House of Venti" is no exception. Apparently, I'm not the only one that thinks that the E/O partnership works through communication with food.

Sounds like you had a good time and got some good gifts. And at 23, you can still cherish your birthdays :)

Hey - did I do something to get the Toby/Elliot thread deleted at SVUFiction, do you know? I posted a link to some recs I made on TWoP and now the whole thread is gone. But there's nothing in the rules that says you can't post to other sites. And that would be an idiotic rule, if they did have it. Very strange...

[aivilo_18]

Nope it's still there. SVUFan did some creative merging/custodial work on the forum and all the fic-related threads were grouped together so your recs are still there (as they should be). You just have to do some searching.

Because, she's definitely *not* the kinda girl who would be deleting slashy Elliot/Toby goodness, believe me. :) She just prides the forum on being *nothing* like the Mariska.com one so redundant threads are pretty quickly cleaned up.

Love the icon!

And love that fic, so props for both inspiring it and recommending it.

[ultraviolet730]

Hee - I have another A/E icon to use. But I still have yours, despite my promises to give it back. I'm a liar!

So glad you liked the story. It's just so good, almost every line, despite the idiotic, asinine ramblings at TWoP over one minor quibble.

Hope you're feeling better now.

And thanks for the Elliot fic. It's so difficult to find good SVU fic.
More so for me, spoiled as I am by all the great OZ fic I keep reading.

[ultraviolet730]

I feel a little better - thanks! What a way to spend my Sunday though.

As for the fic - I'm so glad you read it and enjoyed it. I know what you mean about Oz v. SVU fic. I was so spoiled by Oz that I was shocked to discover the dearth of good SVU fic. But there is some out there, you just have to search for it. Or, in my case, beg :)

[theholyinnocent]

Aw, baby! Thanks so much for the rec; I'm very flattered. :)

It was for you...admittedly, I'd had the idea kicking around and half-written/sketched out when your birthday came up, but I thought it would be nice to finish it up and present it to you. Sorry it took so long. You'd think with all the drabble writing I would have mastered the art of brevity by now!

[theholyinnocent]

And p.s.--I hope you're feeling better!

[ultraviolet730]

I missed this post somehow - sorry! Now I'm giddy, knowing you really did write it for me. I just have to perfect that Olivia glare and somehow harness the internet to transmit it: "You are my minion. You will write great SVU fic and procure me Veuve Clicquot. And strippers."

I had to throw the strippers in - I know how much you, er, enjoy them...

You'd think with all the drabble writing I would have mastered the art of brevity by now!
No, no, no. We don't want you to be brief. You shouldn't ever worry about word limits. The are an insult to you! :)
