The Good (Enough) - Entertaining and enjoyable FF that is better than most but not really a re-read

These are the stories that exceed the "Meh" category but don't rise up to the Must Read FF Hall of Fame, yet aren't the pure fluffy fluff (see this sister collection for fluff and PWP). These are good stories: well-written, real plots, characters with some development, but still the late night junk food of FF. Enjoyable just not to the point where I'd read more than once (okay, twice). Some are cute stories that are a bit burdened by tired dialog, random plot elements, quickie endings, or miss character insight and growth. Worth reading especially for shippers, worth bookmarking, and worth the occasional "what to read when you're bored."

Reading these is like picking up a Danielle Steele paperback on a Friday flyback out of Reagan National only to realize at 25,000 feet and Ch. 3 that you'd read itduring a lengthy layover somewhere in the midwest a few years ago...*sigh* And still you finish it because you know that it's entertaining at the very least, rising to near excellent at the most.
