65: “Lost in My Own Sauce”

In this episode of Fic Clique, your hosts discuss "The Seventh Test," by mylordshesacactus (Original Fiction) @12:47, "The Art of Negotiation," by language_escapes (Elementary) @40:20, and "I STOP TO SMELL THE BLOOD IN THE TREES AND FOR A MOMENT THE WORLD IS SO BEAUTIFUL IT BRINGS ME TO TEARS," by perennials (Zelda BotW) @1:08:09.  Ficlets there is indeed a theme this episode, and it's, well, the abscence of a certain thing shall we say. While the theme might've started as a silly joke, we found surprisingly touching throughlines in all of our fics with portrayls of varying types of intimacy and recurring stories that we are drawn to tell over and over.
