Things That Make You Go "Aww"

1. Garth Ennis. Sometime genius, sometime juvenile git. This, though, is pure Genius Ennis. A moment from the late lamented Hitman comic, a rather touching slice of Superman angst, and some interesting thoughts on where the big blue boy scout fits into the mythology of the American Dream.

2. A rather sweet Harry Potter fic sending up the particular variant of bad fic in which a hardcore Evangelical Christian who believes magic is evil gets sent to Hogwarts. It's fairly obviously High Church Anglican flavoured, but it's written well enough that even a hardcore atheist like myself went "awww".

3. More gratuitous cats being really rather silly in a cute kind of way.

There are bits in Hitman which do have this wonderfully melancholy tarnished idealism thing going on. And then you have the horrible bad taste moments. I mentioned Dogwelder a couple of comments up. Oh gods, Dogwelder.

Ah yes, you mentioned the holy water. There is a reason why your flat will be the first port of call if I ever find myself being stalked by a suspiciously sparkly young man.
