Summary: Sometimes being the normal one is the really exhausting job.
Why: I started rewatching the Yu Yu Hakusho anime recently, and it's given me a much greater appreciation for Kuwabara, so I'm always glad to find good fic centering on him. I'll admit, the Kurama/Kuwabara pairing is something I never thought I'd read, but the author fits it in so naturally that I actually really liked it a lot. I really liked the friendship that developed between Keiko and Kuwabara as well. They're two characters that don't seem to get a lot of interaction, but they worked really well here. Finally, there's just something about the mood in this story that appeals to me; it's laidback but there's also that confusion about what the future will bring that I can really sympathize with at the moment and that made me like the story even more. This definitely isn't your average Yu Yu Hakusho fic, but that's part of what makes it good.

Summary: ZOMBIES. Yes, that's correct. Zombies. Because there just weren't enough necromancers involved before now. But no, these aren't the standard, fairlyeasytokill zombies. There are Plot Twists. And Unexpected Visitors. And slashy demons.
Why: Some authors can take a silly idea and write it and make it brilliantly clever. Other authors can take that same silly idea and make it funny. As for which category this story falls into...Well, it's mostly the latter, but I think there's a little of the former. As you've probably guessed from the summary, this story is crack of the highest order. However, you will find only the finest of crack here. Zombies, fights, wisecracks, yaoi, enemies back from the dead, and even the occasional serious moment! I snickered my way through this entire story and the only complaint that springs to mind is that it ended. Of course, I wouldn't suggest reading this when you're in the mood to be entirely serious, but if you're looking for a little crazy, this is exactly where you want to be.
