bigbang day 3 recs

Well, only half of today's stories have even been posted yet, but I had insomnia last night so I read the two that were, so this may be part one of two. Or I might not review the other two until tomorrow, who knows. ( Reviews behind the cut )

As I was saying to redteekal in the comments of an earlier post, I feel almost bad calling these reviews, since I'm basically just summarizing the plots of all the bigbang stories and then babbling about how much I liked them, with the occasional caveat about formatting or story elements that bugged me. But since I've been doing that, I almost feel like I should keep doing that, although I don't know what I will do when I start encountering stories I don't actually like. Advise me, oh wise flist!

[Poll #1413876]

(1) Not at ALL in reference to an actual story posted during last year's bigbang, or anything

Edited to add: oops, I see the strike command doesn't actually work in polls. Well, you can probably figure out from context that it should read "Nora, you are far too obsessed with people's opinion of you nice" in the poll options above.
