Why this must be read:
*blinks* Wait, what? I get to rec this? Really? ME?????? Because I am shocked that this has not been recced here before. *rifles through crack_van tags* NO really, I can't believe this. YAY!!! I get to rec this!
So, okay, it is gen, it is sweet, it is heartwarming, it is NOT kid!fic. Rather, it is lamb!fic, which needs to be a whole new fandom genre as far as I'm concerned. (Get on that, people. Thank you.) Anyway, Sam gets a lamb. Rather, Sam has one dumped on his doorstep, and wacky antics ensue. Now LoM is not a fandom much given to wacky antics that are NOT crack!fic, but this isn't, it reads like it could have been an actual episode. With sheep. I know, I'm not selling this well, but Dak, beloved of LoM fandom for her heartbreaking stories that will drown you in angst, peppers this tale with humor and sweetness, in addition to her fantastic character-driven dialogue. I make no secret of the fact that this is one of my favorite (and most re-read) stories in LoM, which says a lot because I normally avoid "gen". This is worth it, though, believe you me! *loves on fic*
