two happy-making things

happy saturday! mine is made slightly less happy by the fact that i have a paper to write, so instead of doing that i'm going to share some stuff.

katekat1010 made me another absolutely gorgeous poster, for I've Got Your Number, aka the first in the thanksgiving!verse i've been intermittently playing around with, where adam and kris meet when kris is invited to thanksgiving at adam's mom's house, pre-idol.

the poster is so perfect and so what i imagine when i think about the story, and cynnet got it for me because she is the best person in the world ♥. isn't it beautiful? (you can click the poster to see the masterlist that includes all the stories in this verse!)
i also have a rec! sporadicfungian wrote an amazing katy-centric fic, Ask Her If The Fire Hurts. i was pretty unsure about reading 20k about katy allen, to be honest, but it's so worth it -- amazing, amazing writing, and something that i feel is sort of important to have in this fandom: a telling of katy's story.

this story takes a really common kradam storyline -- kris divorces katy and eventually gets together with adam -- and turns it inside out, tells everything but that story. it's katy's story, not kris's, and it's perfect -- it's about falling out of love, and realizing things, and deciding to make yourself happy even if that's the hardest thing in the world.

i don't know, i thought it was brilliant and so, so necessary in this fandom, where characterizations of katy and justifications for the divorce can often make me really uncomfortable. this story, in my opinion, rights a lot of those wrongs, and it's also just an amazingly compelling, well-written story. now go read it! :D
