Rodney Planning Secretly

  • Nov. 16th, 2009 at 12:15 PM
"This one is quite vague...if I recall correctly, it seems to be about people who were exiled/recalled from Atlantis to Earth and are getting ready to try and return. John has been writing Rodney letters (John got a dog, who I think he calls Sue), but isn't sure whether or not Rodney will be joining them as he hasn't answered any of John's letters. Elizabeth is in the story as well."

Someone asked about this in another community and its peaked my interest as I vaguely remember this story. I think John keeps writing Rodney letters, it might even be formatted to look like emails but Rodney ignores them because he's afraid of accidentally giving away his plans to get them back to Atlantis.

Thanks.

Forgive and forget

  • Nov. 16th, 2009 at 3:48 AM
I fucked up again. I went and confessed shit that should have been locked in a box forever, but it's not like you didn't know. You did. I know you did but you are far from stupid.

It hurts like hell, yes, that the favor isn't returned, but I'll live.

If the favor was returned, though, and I find out that you just put the brakes on, stopping it, I'm not sure I can forgive you. This is the kind of pain that even I don't feel I deserve.

If it's not your fault, then you have nothing to fear, the lesser of two painful evils is to be by your side if you let me. If it is your fault... well, I'll figure out how bad I feel and go from there...

Fortunate by Kriadydragon (PG-13)

  • Nov. 16th, 2009 at 12:25 AM
Rec Category: John Sheppard & Rodney McKay friendship
Pairing: none
Category: hurt/comfort, SG1/SGA crossover, John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Daniel Jackson
Warning: aftermath of non-graphic torture and abuse
Author on LJ: [info]kriadydragon
Author's Website: Fanfic Archive
Link: Fortunate

Why This Must Be Read: Rodney's on Earth when a frightened, injured and possibly insane Sheppard turns up at his doorstep, with a seemingly unbelievable story of conspiracy involving the SGC. Unsure who to trust, Rodney turns to Daniel for help.

This story has a great dynamic between all three men. I still have a big soft spot for Daniel going back to the early days of SG1, and he's just the right blend of sympathetic, snarky and skeptical. This was written circa SGA season four, so Rodney and Daniel had not yet interacted (much) in canon, but I really like their verbal sparring as depicted here -- they're not really friends yet, but they're taking the first cautious steps towards it. And Rodney's blend of worry and wariness towards Sheppard is pitch-perfect, as he struggles to unravel the truth, caught between his rational mind's insistence that Sheppard must be insane, and the irrational urge to take a leap of faith to help his friend.

Snapshots, part one by revelried (PG-13/R)

  • Nov. 16th, 2009 at 8:53 PM
I promise to do one of these everyday this week.

Rec Category: Daniel/Vala
Pairing: Daniel/Vala (mentions Sam/Jack)
Category: romance, babyfic/kidfic, crossover (just a bit) with SGA
Warning: het, kidfic, crossover with SGA, fluff
Author on LJ: [info]revelried
Author's Website: [info]reset_winter
Link: Snapshots, part one

Why This Must Be Read: Sweet and fluffy without being nauseatingly so. It's snapshots of Daniel and Vala's life together.

Also, it has John Sheppard as a 'bridal attendant'.

Teyla impersonator, only Rodney suspects

  • Nov. 16th, 2009 at 12:35 AM
A flash of a story just popped into my head. Gen or McShep, because that's 99.9% of what I read.

Something or someone has taken over Teyla, and Rodney is the only one that notices. I remember that one of the reasons he knows or suspects it's not the real Teyla is because she starts using contractions--can't, don't, won't, etc.--in her sentences.

AOOO

  • Nov. 16th, 2009 at 1:03 AM
Yes I am there, shockingly under amireal. Woo. No uploads because I have been doing other things like dusting. I felt I should get that done before the dust bunnies developed language skills and a sense of culture.


AAAANYHOO. First come first served for my single invite.

New Rule

  • Nov. 16th, 2009 at 6:56 AM
This is a community, not your own personal journal. It doesn't matter why you are looking for stories in a particular genre, just that you are and what it is. The rambling explanations beforehand on why you think John Sheppard is being emotionally repressed or how you've always disliked Jennifer Keller and want to see her get what's coming to her are pointless, annoying, and will not achieve anything but lead, once again, to wank. If you want to rant, please do so in your own journals.

From this point on, when you post a search, please post the search only. No editorialising.

Thank you.

please get out of my house, bitch

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 11:28 PM
This afternoon I was napping with a bad headcold when I was jerked awake by a fat woman in a white shirt opening my screen door and walking into my damn apartment, because she was apparently too stupid to turn left instead of right, or to realize after standing there for five seconds that SHE WAS IN SOMEONE'S HOME. I said loudly, "Hey!" and half-attempted to lift my head (I was really groggy, this cold is terrible) and she backed out and I heard her talking to Brian in the alleyway, laughing about how she couldn't take ten steps without going the wrong way. Way to apologize to the B&B owner instead of me, you idiot, especially when it was perfectly obvious that you not only marched into my place but also woke me up.

Argh. I like keeping everything open for the fresh air -- my side door is behind the security gate so it isn't like leaving it open to the public street -- but I obviously shouldn't do that anymore. I'm probably lucky that none of the guests have wandered in here drunk at three in the morning.

Usually the B&B doesn't bother me but sometimes it really, really does. I hope my next apartment isn't so invasively close to the tourists.

Highlander

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 9:23 PM
I vaguely remember a Highlander fic - Duncan/Methos D/s, I think - where Methos is somehow in pain and seems to be suffering when he's really turned on. Ring any bells?

Hellblazer/Supernatural (NC-17)

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Title: Finding Hell by Mayatawi
Pairing: John Constantine/Dean Winchester
Author on LJ: [info]mayatawi
Author Website: http://panthea.populli.net/
Why this must be read: This fic isn't plot with porn, or porn with plot - it's both at the same time, weighed perfectly so that neither overpowers the other and nothing feels tacked on. At 25,000 words, the plot is well-realized and fitted to both characters and their originating canons, the crossover feels natural and unforced, and the porn -

Well.

The porn is really hot.

The Prisoner

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 10:59 PM
Watching The Prisoner on AMC leads me to think that there is a distinct possibility of Six/Six, a Prisoner/BSG crossover in someone's near future.

Highlander/Supernatural (NC-17)

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Last crossover rec from me this month...

Title: Playing for Keeps Till the End of Time by Lacey McBain
Pairing: Castiel/Dean
Author on LJ: [info]laceymcbain
Author Website: Stickyman Press
Why this must be read: This is an example of what a good fusion should be. Lacey has brought the Supernatural characters into the Highlander 'verse, giving them roles that fit the Highlander world without losing what makes them Supernatural characters. While Dean is not a Hunter and Castiel is not an Angel, Lacey keeps them in character, using SPN characters for conflicts that are recognizably SPN conflicts even if they're cloaked in the Highlander mystique. Castiel takes over from Methos as the oldest Immortal who "watches" himself. Dean is a former Marine who is in town after the death of his brother Sam, a Watcher (though he's not aware of this.) He falls into the company of Castiel and through that, adventure and further drama unwinds. You don't really need to know anything about SPN in order to enjoy it, though it will probably enhance your enjoyment since you'll understand the various tensions between the characters, but Lacey does a pretty good job of making it enjoyable for fans of both series.

Highlander/X-files (PG)

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 9:40 PM
Title: Warm Thoughts, by Sleeps with Coyotes
Pairing: Methos/Alex Krycek
Author on LJ: [info]ciceqi
Author Website: Blood, Love & Rhetoric
Why this must be read: I don't actually know much about X-files, not being a fan of the series, but this is one of the fics I read when I want a pick-me-up. This is the story where Methos and Alex both decide to give up on their respective crushes. With humor woven throughout, Methos and Alex show an understanding and recognition of each other before deciding to give up on their respective crushes and try for something real with one another.

FIC: Moth & Flame

Highlander/Torchwood (NC-17)

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Title: Pas de Trois
Pairing: Methos/Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones
Author on LJ: [info]aeron_lanart
Author Website: The Gateway
Why this must be read: A. Lanart's Mystery 'verse began as a way for Jack to learn how to be an immortal (lower case "i" intentionally.) and evolved into a complex universe that followed the Torchwood canon 'verse, with the addition of Methos. Unlike most fics that cross with Torchwood, Methos doesn't join Torchwood; instead, he visits periodically as friend and lover. It also turns out that Ianto used to be a Watcher, though is presumed dead at Canary Wharf - something that is tangentially important for one of the most sensual scenes in this. Pas de Trois is my favorite of the series and for something that is mostly a PWP, it also holds a lot more. This is the fic that starts the Ianto/Jack/Methos as lovers relationship. What is lovely about this, is the lovely complexity of emotion from all three. By this time, Jack has separate relationships with Methos and Ianto; the decision to add Ianto to the Jack/Methos relationship does not feel forced. You can read this without reading the rest of the 'verse, but the whole 'verse is well worth a read.

Fic: Amazing Grace, Cam/Lorne

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 7:42 PM
Title:Amazing Grace
Author Rubygirl29
Pairing: Cam/Lorne
Genre: Slash, Angst
Rating: PG13
Spoilers: Sunday
Summary: There were only two reasons to wear dress blues in Atlantis ... one was a funeral.
Disclaimer: Last time I checked, I still don’t own them, just the Breakaway AU.

Author’s Note: This was supposed to be a fun reply to the prompt, “Lorne, dress blues” but the story took over and turned into something entirely different. In fact, I can't even post it as a response it's so far from the intent of the theme which was 'party dress'.

Notes: Written as a present for [info]ed263, for all the writing encouragement :)

Title: Lost Jedi
Pairing: Qui-Gon Jinn/Curt Wild
Author: Augusta Pembrooke
Author on lj: no idea
Author website: not that I know of, but her stories are on Masters &Apprentices
Rating: PG-13
Pairing/Characters: Qui-Gon Jinn/Curt Wild

Why this fic is awesome: Actually, because it's so sad. You just know that someone is going to get hurt, even with everyone involved only wanting to do what's best for the others, only want to help. Great characterisations too.

Title: Home
Author: MoaningMinnie
Rating: I'd say PG, but there is indications of some rather disturbing stuff in this post. I have a warning before the start of the section.
Summary: Set a year or so after season 3, the team go on an away mission which changes Elizabeth's life forever.
Spoilers: None really, but I'll post warnings in due course.

Unintentional Mini-nano

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Yep, so the crackfic is now over 4K words by some weird urge in my brain, so now I'm thinking it might work for the [info]twelve_colonies Mini-Nano. This was not exactly the story I intended to write for that, but it's going and the other is not, so I might as well go with it.

I fail at short, yes.

Displacement by FayJay (NC-17)

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Fandom: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Pairing: Faith/Willow
Length: One-shot
Author on LJ: [info]pandarus
Author Website: Unknown, but here is her post of all fics.
Why this must be read: This fic sums up everything I love about Faith/Willow. It's PWP but it's so much more than that - in this short space the author brings up everything that makes their relationship complicated, addictive, and ridiculously hot. For example it's pretty common to point out that Willow's girlfriend Kennedy has more than a passing resemblance to Faith but it's written so well here you can almost see the sparks between them in the car.

Basically this is the hottest Faith/Willow I've ever read (and I would be lying if I said I hadn't read much)!

Preview. NSFW. )

Transgress by takhallus (NC17)

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 10:30 PM
Fandom: HEROES
Pairing: Luke Campbell/Sylar
Length: 1155
Author on LJ: [info]takhallus
Author Website: Master Fic List

Why this must be read:
Transgress is a response to a community challenge on [info]lukexsylar and goes into the dynamic between Sylar and Luke. It's unapologetic angst but in the end also very romantic and it shows exactly what fans of this pairing sees in them - exploring their dependence on each other and the power balance. It's also a very in depth character study of Luke while still using few words and letting the readers figure him out themselves. The writing is very beautifully paced and always building until the ending.

It's a tear-jerker and a story I could return to again and again.

SPN Drive By Con Report -

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 3:09 PM
Hmm. It smells vaguely like part of my building caught fire, and the smoke alarm is going off somewhere.

WHATEVS. I just got back from J2 over at Creation Con, and as I'm sure people are already writing actually good con reports with pictures and whatever, I will just share my three five favorite moments:

1) Someone asked if Sam and Dean are ever going to get the phone call cleared up on screen. Jensen had no clue what the person was talking about, but Jared knew about the fake message shenanigans, and Jensen was all: oh, but wasn't that just in your head? And Jared's all: no, I think Sam really believes in the phone call that lied! Jensen: Maybe you should just ask him. So then Jared pulled a funny face and decided to "Ask Sam" and Sam said that no, Sam didn't know what the real phone message said.

If I'd gotten up and asked a question, it'd have been something along the lines of: When's the show going to acknowledge that if Dean had totes just let Sam die, Sam would've probably gone to Heaven at that point, and Dean wouldn't have broken the first seal, and if Castiel hadn't let Sam out in the first place, then HEY MAYBE MORE PEOPLE THAN SAM should be glared at so much of the time for startin' the apocalypse.

But I refrained! Jensen's answer (where he had absolutely no clue about ANYTHING) strangely made me feel better about Dean.

2) Someone asked "if you were both available, and had to write each other's match.com profiles, what would you say about the other?" And they skated around it very nicely with:

Jared: Texas. Will take anything!
Jensen: I can do it in three words too! Single. White. Female.

3) Someone asked them what dreams they hadn't accomplished yet, and Jensen got all succinct and soft about it, and said "Kids." And Jared agreed, and the thought of little Ackles and little Padalecki babies, omg. Jensen said that Jared won't be allowed to babysit because of a comment he made about throwing the kid--out of a plane? something. I somehow think Jensen will come around.

4) Jared got all sweaty and Jensen mocked him, so someone gave him a box of kleenex that he shoved down his shirt, and Jensen snatched a tissue, while Jared tossed his behind him, and I keep thinking that one of those tissues is gonna wind up on ebay. Or in a picture frame.

5) Jensen talked about when he was doing Sam's post-death scene, Kim blocked off the entire set with a black tarp, so it was just a camera in the corner that he couldn't see, and Jared and Jensen in the room, and he talked about how amazing that was and how much that helped him. Sigh.

Oh, and at the end, Jared discussed his mom's charity in Texas, and said he'd be auctioning off Sam's S3 watch, and one of the Creation people had them do the auction right then and there, and Jared was all: I don't know how! And Jensen went for it in full auctioneer mode, and some awesome lady in the front row bought that thing for $2500.00 (maybe 3500?) and Jared totally looked like he was going to cry and went down there and said a few words to her personally.

In conclusion: Boys. \o/ They were both adorable, and they both really *tried* to give great answers, and no one asked any terrible questions that made me want to beat them, and Jensen even said he'd love to do this all day. SUCCESS.

due South/Slings & Arrows (PG)

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 1:11 PM
Title: Now Heaven Hath All
Pairing: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski and Geoffrey Tennant/Ellen Tennant (formerly Fanshaw)
Author on LJ: [info]nos4a2no9
Author Website: Out of Water {fanfiction by nos4a2no9}
Why this must be read: Geoffrey is cast in a TV show based on the life of Benton Fraser as Benton Fraser. Hilarity natural fallows. This is one of my favorite crossovers ever and the story that introduced me to Slings & Arrows. Also Anne is awesome which while not surprising I felt should be included anyway.

I watched the first two episodes of Glee. I think it's even more cracky than Merlin.

I also have Being Human downloaded now. Time to start watching that. Dear British Drama, please live up to my sisters' standards?

Small Fandom Month -- Sign up!

  • Nov. 15th, 2009 at 11:34 AM
December is Small Fandom Month on [info]crack_van!

Sign up below if you want to make recs. First priority goes to fandoms that have never been featured here, followed by fandoms that have been featured a few times, followed by fandoms that were previously full-time but are now retired.

Note #1: a fandom doesn't actually have to be small to be recced -- there are still lots of big fandoms that have never been featured on the community!

Note #2: If you are signing up a fandom that has never been recced here, a fandom overview will be required. Overviews should include pics and biographies of main characters, story arcs, and links to fandom archives and communities, at minimum. Picture hosting is available on my webspace.

Thanks!

Fandom: MERLIN
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Length: 16k
Author on LJ: [info]derryere
Author Website: Fic List on LJ
Why this must be read:

Another [info]kinkme_merlin fic that is so much more than just the regular brilliant porn. The basic prompt was: "Arthur/Merlin, reincarnation, one time they get re-born as brothers." and true to kinkmeme standards there is a lot of sex, but it's the emotional connection, the gut-wrenching, transgressive force of their love that makes the reader come back for more.

This fic isn't happy fun-times, what with the two boys being brothers. [info]derryere puts the characters through emotional hell and it pays off magnificently. Don't miss out on this gem of a story.

At Least It Would Seem That We Don't
