because a great hug has a little cling to it (et erit cuddles!)
Do you remember, once upon a time, when LJ let fans do their thing, and we didn't have to worry that six companies where so focused on making an outdated model work instead of bringing themselves to the new century that they were going to, what's the quote, slap at gnats with a wrecking ball? When censorship was something that would never be considered? Back when there was a cuddling meme?
Delicious ate itself. The FBI took MegaUpload away. The internet imploded. SOPA is dead on the floor. It's been an emotional roller coaster kind of a time for the fannish among us. Obviously it's time for this. Obviously.

Stay excellent, fandom. It's what makes this whole mess worth it.
Remember that I love you.
Bradley and Colin get Turned into koalas. And love it. (RPF)
I've never posted on DW before. Here goes!
When they’d decided to pay a visit to London Zoo to see the new koala exhibit (Oh, please, Bradley, Colin had said, widening his eyes in his most disarming doe-like manner, and Bradley couldn’t have resisted even if he’d wanted to, which he didn’t, because making Colin happy often resulted in extremely gratifying, messy, and wonderful sex), Bradley hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.
He’d expected to pay their entry (which he did), predicted Colin would grab his sleeve and pull and point at the animals like an excited child (which he had), even anticipated beginning to enjoy himself at some point (at the monkey house. Bradley loved monkeys.) But the thing he couldn’t have ever foreseen even in his wildest dreams (of which there were many), was winding up a koala clinging desperately to the trunk of a tree with Colin (a much smaller, cuter, more cuddly koala) clinging to his back.
He couldn’t have predicted that Colin actually was magic. How many times had he joked about it on the set of Merlin—Oh, Colin so dedicated to his role, he’s actually physically learned magic, Ha, ha, ha—it had become a running gag with the whole cast and crew. No, he couldn’t have predicted that Colin loved koalas so much, so enthusiastically, that seeing an entire community of them would make his dormant magic go haywire and turn both he and a very surprised, very alarmed Bradley into furry grey marsupials themselves.
Which they were, Bradley was sure, unless the lamb kebab he’d eaten at lunch (as Colin had watched, nose scrunched in distaste) had been drugged with hallucinogens.
Bradley felt small as he warily eyed the other koalas circling round, inspecting the newest arrivals with mystified koala expressions that, to Bradley’s mind, bordered on aggressive. At his back, koala-Colin made a very alarming, not at all cute and fuzzy noise, which Bradley, strangely enough, could understand.
What happened, Bradley?
What happened? Bradley replied, startled at the same bizarre sound that emitted from his mouth. You mean you don’t know?
I have no idea, screeched koala-Colin. I mean I felt something, something like magic, yeah? But I’ve never felt it before.
Bloody hell, Cols, so you mean you don’t know how to turn us back?
Colin dug his claws in—sharp little buggers—and whimpered. A large male koala appeared to be taking an interest in them, in Colin specifically, eyeing them with something a lot like koala lust in his eyes. Bradley growled and the interloper retreated a few paces, but still remained too close for Bradley’s liking. No one was touching his Colin, koala or otherwise. Cheeky.
Well, we can’t stay like this, Bradley said in koala-language. Jesus, we have to be back to Wales tomorrow.
I know that, Bradley, obviously. Colin could even muster a snarky tone when he was a tiny grey marsupial. Impressive. But I don’t know how.
Now a note of desperation had crept into Colin’s grunts and growls, which, of course, stimulated Bradley’s protective side. Even though Colin was clinging to his back, he was too far away. Bradley made a noise that he hoped conveyed his point. It seemed to do the trick because just seconds later he found himself being hugged from the front by a—wow, extremely soft, tiny koala—with the widest, prettiest eyes he’d ever seen. Colin made a content noise and snuggled closer.
This is actually nice, said Bradley. If you get past the bit about it being completely mad.
Colin’s koala-laugh was infectious. It’s not terrible.
Maybe if you just relax, Bradley said. You’ll figure out how to turn us back. He was beginning to feel a bit sleepy himself but resisted the urge to close his eyes, afraid that if he drifted off his rival would carry Colin off and commit koala defilement. But it was so extremely comfortable, so much warmer than he’d ever been before. He licked Colin’s head, but Colin was already asleep.
It would be lovely just to stay like this, wouldn’t it, it wouldn’t be so bad in the end,Bradley thought as he drifted off, wondering what koalas dreamed about.
When Bradley awoke hours later entangled in Colin’s very human arms and legs, an amazed zoo attendant peering down at them (surely wondering why the stars of one of the BBC’s most popular shows were cuddling in the koala enclosure), he almost thought it had been a dream. But that wouldn’t explain away the koala fur in his mouth, or the way the alpha male koala was still watching Colin with an expression that could only be termed . . . regret.
