Late to the party

Argh. I'm away from the net for a day and a half, and I come back to find I've missed this week's wednesday100 challenge. It's the time zone thing - trying to keep track of when Wednesday starts and ends on the other side of the world...

There's some brilliant, heartbreaking stuff there. Don't read if you're already depressed. Too many amazing fics to list them all, but I have to mention velvetglove's Unemployment, which hurts in a different way, aelita's Visit, which just hurts bad, and spike21's Last Wall, which hurts because it's going to come true.

But - miraculously - there are ways even a break-up fic can make you smile, like ladyvyola's Sympathy Pains, aelita's It's always about trust., ubertodd's Two People You've Never Met, and hyperfocused's We're breaking up.
