Ty ty! Fandom is always a balm, it's just also a timesuck, and a brainsuck, and when work is hard I don't have much of either of those to spare. :(
Cold reads are a fucking BLAST. I cannot recommend them enough. I don't know of anyone that does them besides me, though, so... I can't even recommend, unless you happen to be in the MDZS fandom. I've done a few others, Leverage-based, I think, but... my MDZS stuff is the best example of it. The GBBO AU might be listenable for someone not in the fandom though?
Ah - I was an LJ-er too! I suppose it was my home once upon a time, but I don't remember it that well anymore? DW was just... where I found myself in fandom, where I got comfortable. So yeah, LJ is kinda like the parents' home, but I don't go there anymore, so the metaphor doesn't hold, sadly. But DW is definitely as you say - place that still has room for you when you want to come home. :D
