Is that a real poncho, or is that a Sears poncho?

kupukello had the nicest comment about A Thousand Beautiful Things - she says she reads chapters 7 and 9 as "comfort fics". I know exactly what she means, and am so flattered by her saying that. I know when I have those work-sucks and I-have-a-headache and no-one-understands-me and if-I-had-a-dog-I-might-just-imagine-kicking-it days, there are certain fics I go to for solace.

Like zionsstarfish The Way of the World. It just hits me that way. Poor, sad, wet, and cold Draco, stripped of all his former defenses, worried about losing his shit job as a delivery boy.

So tell me - what is your comfort fic? And generalizations won't do, my friends. I want specific parts, memorable lines, moving paragraphs!

ETA: And here are some comfort photos of Boyd Holbrook, the model for Draco in my icons, when you need to drool inappropriately appreciate the human body.

Yeah, you have to join the Yahoo group. Look in the "Photos" and "Files" folders.
