I came upon R/S by accident, I think. I can remember that my first fic was the do wizard dream of magical sheep by keelywolfe (which was totally intense and a little too violent for my taste then - but got me totally hooked.) Then I stumbled upon the levity series by lupercali & then Shoebox. That cemented it, and that was like... 5 or 6 years ago (and I had felt like I was coming in late!). Yikes.
