Why this must be read: I was talking to my friend once, and she said "I read this one amazing Kangin fic—" and I said "Was it 'Clowns Left Jokers Right?'" and she said "HOW DID YOU KNOW." This writer has written two of the best(-known) Kangin fics in the fandom (the other is "White Elephant"), but this one is 1) longer and 2) more complex/satisfying, so it's what gets special mention here. This fic deals realistically with recovering from a broken heart while not becoming angsty or depressing, has a beautiful, unhurried progression, and is funny and touching in all the right ways.
