Headache

... You know your day is going to be crap when what wakes you up is the burgeoning pain and nausea of a migraine, followed by two hours scrunched in a ball with your head shoved somewhere dark (I find that lying with my legs tucked under me so that they put pressure up along my sides helps with the nausea).

Painkillers are kicking in now (do you know how hard it is to take pills when you're nauseous to start with?), but the left side of my head is still tender and achey, and I keep having the urge to cover my left eye with my palm, so the light won't get in. (I used to scare people when I had migraine, because I tend to be wandering around the house with my hand over my eye afterwards, and people think I've done something to it. Most of them know what it is by now).

Seriously, though? Are migraines supposed to start when you're still asleep? I really, really hate getting woken up by pain :(

Fanfic question

... This is a question I'm not exactly sure how to phrase. *rubs mouth musingly*

Is it ... Is it not usually the done thing, in fanfiction, to have fic that focuses on examining platonic relationships in depth? As in, focusing on the relationship, with the level of attention you would in a shipping fic, but the relationship itself is still decidedly gen?

I mean, I saw a response once on Deus Ex that said they'd never seen a platonic relationship examined so 'intimately'. Which is ... I mean, really? (Not sarcasm, by the way. Honest question).

And I know in Avengers fic, I'm very, very gen right now, but ... not usually in the sense of teamfic or action-adventure, but in the sense of examining the personal interactions of various characters. (Mostly, admittedly, relating to Tony -_-;) And it's ... mostly because they're all still so new to each other, except in those cases where there's so much implied history, and it's kind of awesome to be able to explore that wide and that varied a set of potential interactions, and ... Um. It's all still mostly gen, with me. But the depth, in some of those potential relationships ...

And I know, I know, I've asked variations on this question before (well, no, I've written a long and rambly post about why I like platonic shipping/emotional gen), but ...

But. Is it really that rare? Is it honestly just not usually the done thing?

*shakes head, waves hand* Never mind. I'm obsessing slightly, I know. Ignore me, carry on. *grins sheepishly*
