Wanna Get Ficced?

I saw a rec for a story that was an AU [yay!] and was promised that the writing was good [yay!] and the story was interesting [yay!] and came to find out, after multiple parts, the story was none of the above. The writing wasn't flat-out terrible, but the pacing was iffy, and the final scene was completely OOC for one of the characters, and I hate when that happens. The characterization was half-assed at best, honestly. Both characters are fairly reserved in canon, but in the AU, one of them was an outrageous flirt. It was, of course, because he was hiding super-extra painful childhood memories, and...ugh.

So, blergh on that. I'm gonna go dig up good fic to read after I finish some other work.
