hugs for everyone!

daybreak777 and I were chatting about fanfic again. I have come to the conclusion that five-times fics are my great white whale. I struggle with making them compelling. I think it's the change in POV... or something. I don't know what. Also, my inability to write shippy-fic remains strong--Daybreak challenged me to write hugs, and I wrote two, but they're both very, very gen. And shmoopy, but that's sort of expected in hug-fic, right?

First and foremost, Felix needs a hug. Really. ( sometime after 'Collaborators.' Should I warn for Cally? 'Cause I know some of y'all can't stand her. She's in here. )

I always thought that the idea of the baby farms on Caprica was even creepier than the episode had time to demonstrate. So Jean Barolay needs a hug too. ( gratuitous Anders hugginess )

eta very important question: How do you get people's icons to appear in text without putting the picture into photobucket? Some of you have done those memes about user icons, so I know you know how to do it! I think I figured it out, but whoa, it's annoyingly complicated. Hm.
