Fic Rec: Finest Funery - deslea

[teddy_radiator]

I've just read one of the sweetest, most beautiful SSHG fics ever. It's a birthday gift for the awesome lemonade8 by the equally awesome deslea called Finest Funery, and it's about as perfect as SSHG gets. Please head over and read now and give lots and lots and LOTS of love.

Writing doesn't get better than this.

Oh, that's lovely. Good grief, but Deslea has a way with words. Everything I've ever read blows me away with its sensitivity and pathos.

Absolutely. Every word is perfect and perfectly placed.

Thank you so much, Teddy! I was kind of thinking of you with this one too, even though you didn't get mentioned - I knew I'd missed the moment on your birthday recently.

I've had a lot of the initial banter written for five or six years now, but it never went anywhere (mostly because, at the time, I think I was trying to take it in the wrong direction). I knew I didn't have an SSHG "from scratch" in me just at the moment, but I found the pre-written part in a hard drive cleanup and thought maybe I could build it into something that did work. And it all went from there.

I am always honoured that you thought of me! And I'm thrilled you found this and boy, did you build it into something that worked. Your prose always takes my breath away. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us.
