My job is making me literally sick with rage and frustration right now. I could really use recs for long (like, novel-length or more) fanfics or for escapist TV. For fanfics I'd really like m/m slash, strong characterization, decent writing, and a happy ending. I don't care if I know the fandom so long as I can make sense of the story without canon knowledge. For TV, I'd like either canon m/m or lots of m/m subtext (the pairing as a plausible endgame would be nice), and preferably but not necessarily a genre story like sff or mystery. No rape scenes, nothing too depressing.

Sorry if that's an obnoxious list of requirements, but I am running very low on cope and I don't watch to watch anything that will make me feel worse.

All recs greatly appreciated. ETA: Please don't hesitate to self-rec if you've written something that fits the bill.

And I'm not looking for advice. I'm doing what practical things I can to make the situation better, and that's not what I need at the moment.

Ack, sympathies on the work sorrow. I hope there's some relief for you soon.

I don't know how you feel about

astolat's POI fic but two of hers are fun comfort reads for me. They're not very long, but there's two of them:
- Technical Support is a slow burn John/Harold AU, where Harold is still working at IFT.

- Employment Benefits - starts out Harold/Shaw but shortly becomes Harold/John and a good mystery.

Rivers of London, in which my tastes apparently run to the ridiculous:
- A very silly but very capable GBBO AU:
Four and Twenty Love Birds

- Gen but cute and silly crossover:
Rivers of Ankh-Morpork

One self-rec:
My Sentinel/Guide POI fic is tagged Root/Shaw but it's 50% Harold/John, don't know if that's suitable or not? But it's long!:
- Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters

Sending you all the hugs.
