One more Welcome To Night Vale rec:

Second Date (2676 words) by dee
This may be the saddest thing I have read, not in Night Vale fandom, but in any fandom. But nevertheless perfectly executed, and sad in that perfectly-crafted way that makes you walk away feeling like they took a part out of you with sterilised tweezers.

(I should mention that I am drunk, also in that perfect way where they took out a part of your lucidity with sterilised tweezers - I am going to be probably-forever-whatever unemployed on Thursday so I went out with my soon-to-be-former colleagues tonight and got drunk with all of them at their most affectionate, and while I will miss them a lot I refuse to admit to that so I am continuing to drink, gently and slowly so I remain precisely on this particular peak and not trough of drunk, balanced on something between desperation and melancholy and actually too drunk to string a sentence together.)

(I don't know why any of you put up with me, I am awful.)

Even when drunk, you are a superb prose stylist.

[sabra_n]

Seriously, A++ drunk typing there.

That is very kind. I am pleased to report that horribly hungover I am a horrible everything, inc prose stylist. :)

[livrelibre]

Ditto on the above and you are actually the best:)

<3 <3 hello you.

You are the least awful person, seriously. (Also, you will not be unemployed forever. Bet you anything.) Enjoy the alcohol.

Oh, I did. Today was not the best day, but I did deserve the horrible hangover. Thank you, lovely. :)

My first (and only, so far) hangover was after the second-year English Society dinner (I was very grumpy and drank a lot). It was not pleasant. I hope you're feeling better now.

Rob pointed out that betting you anything was a bad move because you could just not look for a job and gleefully take all of my money. But I assured him you wouldn't.

You are not awful, you are magnificent - not least that you can be drunk and still write so beautifully.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) I had a TERRIBLE hangover which I richly deserved! Siiiigh.

[tau_sigma]

You are so far from awful, it's untrue. I hope your head isn't too sore this morning (afternoon, even, goodness!). *hugs*

Oh, Tali, my head was sooooore. Thank you for the much-needed hugs. <3
