my qaf nostalgia is strong, grasshoppers.  
Unfortunately, my ability to ever finish my huge-ass QaF nostalgia post is not. I think the sheer amount of info I want to put it in (all the memories!) is bogging me down and these last few months have basically been me opening the file and then, y'know, staring dumbly at it before wandering off to make icons. And rather than give up like a dork, I have this diabolical plan to just start posting little "remember when..?" posts at random whenever the mood strikes me. Diabolical, I say!

Mmm, yes. Just so happens I'm in the mood now. Fancy that! And I start with one of my Top 10 QaF Fics Evah:

"M'not good...for you," he panted. "Not good."

"You are good," I said, and he let out a shaky sob. I licked across his cheeks, under his nose, ate his tears and willed him to believe me. "Better than anyone." --Maps and Legends

AKA, the peyote chapter that I read obsessively. Though, really, every chapter in this masterpiece kills me in some way. Remember the "I HATE YOU" scene? I couldn't function properly after that for awhile, so perfect. Two of our best writers, hands down.

Oh, QaF. Oh, fandom. I heart you. \:D/

I remember reading this not so long ago. It was recced by the wonderful Grover and I loved every chapter. So funny and heart wrenching and all that other great stuff rolled into one story. One of the things among many that stood out for me was their visit to Las Vegas. Justin's description of the casino and its' occupants was spot on. Having been there in 2007 and not seeing the appeal in gambling I totally agreed with his thoughts. Brian losing all their money in a drunken stupor was kinda sad. Great stuff!!!

GUH YES! It's the perfect combo of everything I love in a fic. Those Vegas scenes were heartwrenching.
