At the end of every week, we gather at Lady Business HQ to share media thoughts and chat about the recent happenings in our tiny spheres of human experience. Puns welcome.


In theory, eventually this feature will have a name once we all agree on one. In the meantime, to open the festivities, a gif to sum up 2016 so far:

OMG hi really???? I figured it would be too fluffy for anyone to read, but thank you for asking! Well, I'm still figuring out some stuff, but I've got 11,000 words and since you have shown interest, here's some background: they're younger than on the show, and due to a combination of the economic downturn and other events, they all find themselves working at Selina's coffee shop. After a while, Selina starts to utilise their talents to help her expand her business. Their roles will roughly correspond to that of the show.

Pairings are Amy/Sue and Jonah/Dan and Richard/OC (with past Amy/Dan). Am considering Selina/Tom but idk yet. I read something about how there's a fluffy coffee shop AU for almost every fandom. The Dan/Jonah bonding moment just before Jonah's speech had me dying for them to get together (although I've shipped them from the start). The finale was real downer (to me, I can understand if other people liked it) and I was all, okay, time for some fic.

I'm not planning to put it on AO3 (since there will be too many comments about how everyone is too nice, which would be a very fair criticism) but am considering putting in on my journal. Let me know if you want me to drop you a line when it's done.

lol you wrote one line expressing polite interest and got an essay back, you're welcome.

Uh, I don't even go here in this fandom and I would read this.

You are now my new best friend. Thank you <3

The other reason I don't want to put it on AO3 is that some of the cast and writers apparently lurk in fandom, so no to that. So the solution will be locked posts in my journal. I'll send you a message if and when it's complete.

I absolutely do want to hear about this when it is done. Oh wow, imagining Amy/Sue and in my head it's all efficiency and sass and loaded silences. I have the oddest ship for this fandom (Mike/Dan) but I sure think I could love Amy/Sue too.

Also - comments about how everyone is too nice? Is that a thing (says she who has only ever put up 4 pieces of fanfic).
