I don't know what's been posted lately -- I've been out of touch myself -- but I can offer some good long comfort reading among older stories. I second Kass's rec for "A Hundred happy Things"; I just reread it the other day myself. All of Image (http://busaikko.livejournal.com/profile)busaikko (http://busaikko.livejournal.com/)'s stories I've read that involve genderqueerness are really good, in fact, so if that's something you like in your fic, go for it.

Also, I know that Kass will second my rec of Image (http://astolat.livejournal.com/profile)astolat (http://astolat.livejournal.com/)'s SGA story Time in a Bottle (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/time_in_a_bottle.html). Heh. Just ask her. Lots of astolat's zillion other stories in multiple fandoms are long and comforting, too.

I have no idea what you may have already seen, but another absolutely charming feel-good story is Image (http://rageprufrock.livejournal.com/profile)rageprufrock (http://rageprufrock.livejournal.com/)'s Merlin modern-day AU Drastically Redefining Protocol (http://archiveofourown.org/works/3189).

I don't remember how you feel about SPN and Wincest, but my go-to comfort stories in that area are Lazy Daze's Keep Our Eyes on the Sum of Each Other (http://lazy-daze.livejournal.com/452858.html) (bodyswap) and Image (http://setissma.livejournal.com/profile)setissma (http://setissma.livejournal.com/)'s Long Lay the World (http://setissma.livejournal.com/542405.html) (Christmas fic, utterly sweet). Both are shorter than the above, but if yuo're okay with the genre, they'll make you feel warm and happy. Which it sounds like you sorely need; I'm sorry things have been so horrible! I hope you can collapse comfortably at home now.
