where I mention cupidsbow way too often while reccing somebody el

[sarren]

This story is so famous within it's fandom that I assume anyone who's willing to read Orlijah must have done so already, but there might be someone as clueless as me out there.

I do read and enjoy the occasional RPS, when written or recced by friends, cupidsbow. for example, writes like a dream, but it's not really one of my kinks.

So why was I up in the early hours of the morning til some insane hour (cursing cupidsbow because somehow it was all her fault) reading Football by deleerium?


It's seriously AU for a start, the resemblances to the actual actors, I think, must be superficial and well within cupidsbow's Public Persona ideal, and therefore within my comfort zone.

And then there's the confused!boysex which is hot, and the adorable confused fumbling jocks discovering their sexuality.

I read another fic by the same author months ago on special_trille's rec, about a college professor and a skaterboy and enjoyed the story so much I made an icon (though I can't rec it unequivocally as it's MarySue ending really let it down) and Football has a few moments like that.


And when did the definition of MarySue expand to include unlikely and/or unnecessary over the top achievements and abilities ascribed to the characters?
