PO Joseph on how he loves camping, and which of his friends would or would not want to go with him:

Duke would cry

Boko would say: "You really want to go camping?" 😒

Kris: impossible. they'd be bickering all the time, and if they turned it into a bet, Kris would hire someone to give him a survivor crash course (thank you for the correction @habitant!)

Drew O'Connor: impossible. Street smarts? Zero

As you can tell, I usually like to put out fic recs by certain themes or genre. This Fic Rec contains the various different fics that can't really be grouped together or themes with too few stories to put in its own post. This list had been compiled through a few years, so it might be a tad long. I hope you'll enjoy it.
