You guys! You guys, LET ME TELL YOU A STORY. This is a story of Fandom History.

See, it happened like this bookshop on a dark and stormy posted a prompt the the inception_kink meme.

jibrailis wrote an AMAZING fill for this prompt, Flannel: A Love Story, which you should all go read if you haven't yet, because, see earlier re: AMAZING.

aredblush read this story, and then drew adorable art for it!

In the comments of that post, aredblush said, "I WANT ALL THE FLANNEL FICS IN THE WORLD! GIVE ME ALL OF IT! ESPECIALLY IF THE FLANNEL IS EAMES' AND ARTHUR BORROWS IT AND THEN HE WILL BE IN OVERSIZED FLANNEL THAT SMELLS LIKE EAMES!"

I filled this request with the story I posted in the dead of night last night/this morning, Like I Wanna Live Now, because I've apparently given up the ghost of writing something that isn't so fluffy cotton candy takes a step back to say, "whoa, whoa... that is fluffy."

THEN (and this is the most exciting part for me, really) aredblush decided to DO ARTWORK FOR THE STORY. You guys, it is so adorable! It is the most adorable ever! I am just OVERCOME WITH HEARTEYES. GO LOOK AT IT, I PROMISE IT IS WAY CUTER THAN THE STORY COULD EVER DREAM OF BEING!

In more happy-making things:

Haircut today!

And, I know, you've probably seen this little video, but...

If you'll excuse me, I need a moment to collect myself from all the JOY.
