I just love this story [livejournal.com profile] bravecows posted, What You Wait For.  And yes, part of the reason I love it is because she wrote it while listening to this song (Ed's Redeeming Qualities' "I Will Wait"), which is and old favorite between [livejournal.com profile] eor and I, and is funny, upbeat and catchy.  And she sprinkles quotes from the song liberally through her post and her comment-replies.  But mainly I love it because she goes such a different direction with the story from what you'd expect if you already knew the song.  Well, with the characters she wanted to work with, I guess she had to.  Oh, and I suppose also I love it because even though they are characters from a particular anime she's into, you don't have to know anything at all about that universe in order to read it.  Meaning, for me, it reads like an original fic.  Give them different names and I wouldn't know the difference.

And, I must say, this comment from [livejournal.com profile] destervetha, where she plots out how to shoot the story as an indie short movie with the song as theme music, makes me want to send the whole thing to Efram Potelle and see if he'll fall for it.
