You guys, you guys, I just discovered a cache of Calvin & Hobbes fanfic on AO3, and it is adorable.

I'm not sure if it's fandom or the stress of prepping CG or the stress of other things entirely, which are admittedly self-induced so I'm not asking for sympathy, but stumbling over this random little collection of stories was like walking through a nightclub at two in the morning and finding a small, well-lit library with a teddy bear in it on the other side. It just made me grin.

Not that I don't love my life on the whole, but sometimes it's a little...contentious? Maybe "busy" is a better word. Complicated? I don't know. Lately I'm finding socialisation a little difficult, both online and in meatspace -- we really have to find a better term for "not online" that doesn't imply a reality differential, by the way -- so being normal even just for coworkers and people on the train wears me out. Because I am not Calvin at all. Dear me no.

It'll wear off, but until then:

Calvin & Hobbes fanfic! Adorable!
