i am disturbed

Okay, now today feels like a Monday.

Also, I am suddenly--and let me say ridiculously--jonesing for babyfic. This could be the fact that having two family members below the age of six months is affecting hormonal surges, but I want babyfic. And no, not like, normal domestic babyfic, no. I want angsty babyfic that involves kidnapping and crossing international and/or intergalactic borders and I don't know, some kind of explosion somewhere in there. Maybe with a war. I have no idea. And I want it to be very long. And you know, while I'm at it, I want Godiva on my desk right now.

Oh, this can't end well. It just can't.

I really wish I had better news than watching some kind of strange, fannish nervous breakdown in progress. So. Weird.

Freakishly, the due South story I never wrote was angsty babyfic. In Canada. No kidnapping, though. I mean, I was gonna kill the mom, but ... yeah.

I kind of want to kidnap Victoria's kid. It's all--cliched yet very, very addictively so. In that way that melodrama and lots of shooting and running away is.

OMIGOD, is Victoria's kid by any chance FRASER's kid???? Enquiring minds wanna know! And you know, now that I think of it, I can't believe I never read a story about that.

Well, I wand good D/s fic where John is the dom. And then I also want good D/S fic in where Rodney is. I have found a great motherlode of fic of either sort that is so OOC I'm not even sure who those people are.

And some baked macaroni and cheese. Maybe with a little broccoli along with on the side as fiber.

See that? That is when I see John and Rodney losing it and like-- becoming really hot but rogue fighters that possibly could care one wit about what's right and wrong because someone took their child.

You made me commit commentfic!!

"Take this." Sheppard shoves what looks like a big pile of blankets into Rodney's arms and deftly grabs the laptop out of his hand in time for Rodney to transfer his grip to the blankets before they fall. Or, before the shockingly solid thing inside the blankets falls. Rodney can feel Sheppard sticking the laptop to the velcro on his back while he hefts the bundle, trying to find an opening in the folds to see what it is. Sheppard claps him on the shoulder. "Let's go, and be quiet."

"Did you just steal a ZPM or something?" Rodney hisses. "What are we--" He stops moving when he finally gets a peek at what he's carrying. "What the fuck, Sheppard!?"

John rounds on him with a hissed shush. "What part of 'be quiet' didn't you understand? We need to go, right now. And don't swear." He shoves at Rodney's back, enough to get him moving but not enough to stop him talking.

"I'll fucking swear if I fucking feel like it, Colonel, and right now I really fucking feel like it. You want to explain to me why we're lighting out of here with stealth and speed? Could it have something to do with, oh, I don't know, you losing your mind and kidnapping a fucking baby?"

"She's the princess," John huffs from behind him, directing him to turn right with a tap on the shoulder. Rodney ducks through a half-tall door and suddenly they're outside.

"Oh, great, the princess, that explains everything," Rodney grumbles, and John shoves at him again.

"Notice how many princesses there are around here?"

Rodney holds the baby close against his chest as they half-jog along the dark path. She squirms a little with the treatment, but doesn't make any noise. He thinks back along the course of the day, and realizes--"There aren't any."

"Exactly."

"Wait--" Rodney stops and turns to John, who stops very close, the baby held between them. "What does 'exactly' mean, exactly?"

John's eyes are dark pools in the shadowed moonlight, but Rodney can see well enough when John looks down at the princess. "They sacrifice princesses here, Rodney." He raises one hand to touch the blanket near her face. "Literally. They're going to leave her out on that altar-thing tomorrow."

"Oh, that's just fucking fantastic," Rodney snarls, but he holds his burden just a little tighter and follows Sheppard's gaze downward. The princess is awake, regarding John and Rodney with wide, trusting eyes. Oh, holy hell; just like that, Rodney's gone, fully on board with whatever half-cooked plan John's got in mind.

"We need to get out of here," Rodney whispers, and John points the way to the Gate.

"Don't swear in front of the baby."

Hey! *is insulted*

Actually, you find me good John-dom D/s fic and I'll throw you a damned party. Most of the stuff I've read is -- ug. Not so good. With a very few exceptions (Telesilla being one).

(also, not actually insulted; it's hard to get them D/s without making them a little OOC)

I swear I read that one. Sadly, that was before I was good with the bookmarking. But Yes. It was good.

I was going to make RayK stay in Canada with Fraser. Ray is terrible about correspondence, so everyone gets their gossip from Fraser, who sends pictures of the wedding (Ray and lots of Mounties in red) and the announcement about a little baby Ben Kowalski, and then Maggie dies and RayV and Stella come up for the funeral because Fraser is so distraught, but RayK is all destroyed and RayV gives him hell for being bad to Fraser who has just lost his sister and RayK is all I JUST LOST MY WIFE, BITCH! And everyone is all, buh? So RayK is like, who did you think had this miracle baby crying over here? To which everyone is like ... uh, surrogate? We thought you married Fraser! But less silly and more angsty than it sounds.

OH NO NO NO, your stuff is awesome! I include you not very much not in these discussions. Holy hannah, no.

I mean OOC in which one or the other of them gets to be a lot like those Wailing Nancy Insecure Spikes that flop around and get the vapors about everything.

And I'm also a little picky, I guess, because I have some stuff that'll throw me right out of a fic, and John being incredibly in touch with his feelings is one of them.

Oooh, thank you for the rec about Telesilla.

Oooo, now THAT is a great idea.

No swearing. So cute. I swear.

Does pre-baby fic count? Because I just re-read (again, for another time) [livejournal.com profile] lallybroch's This Woman's Work (http://lallybroch.livejournal.com/105825.html). Genderswitch, Wraith, trapped, deals gone wrong, and a tad of bloodshed. Fantastic.

I wrote a very (very) short piece called "Two Adoptions" about this.

There's even canon support for it, which I will lay out: In "Odds", when Fraser is sitting at his desk and pulls out some paperwork and stares at it, read the title across the top of the piece of paper. It's adoption paperwork. This is BEFORE Thatcher asks Fraser to help her with an international adoption (and says that he'd know about such things.) So what adoption paperwork, exactly, is Fraser filling out, there?

Heeee *smishes you*

I mean OOC in which one or the other of them gets to be a lot like those Wailing Nancy Insecure Spikes that flop around and get the vapors about everything.

YES. YES YES YES YES.

and John being incredibly in touch with his feelings is one of them.

ALSO A MILLION TIMES YES.

I love D/s, but oh my god some of the crap that's out there. Also, D/s does not mean BDSM. It can include it, but it doesn't mean it. Nor does it mean slavery. These are all separate concepts and I wish like hell people would stop deciding they're the same.

Um.

My grumpy issues, let me show you them?

[identity profile] beadattitude.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Dat's okay!

BTW? My favorite D/s fic is yours, by the way. Taken ::eyes roll back in head:: Wouldn't mind seeing more of that 'verse.

Ah, but much of that is the lovely Yin. Most of it, really.

I can see the angst. *sad* It is depressing just reading the summary.

[identity profile] bethcarielle.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
...great now I want angsty babyfic. Especially with intergalactic kidnapping and explosions.

*sigh*

[identity profile] justabi.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
That is essentially why I never wrote it. It made me sad just thinking about Fraser being in love with Ray and helping raise his kids as their uncle and Ray just completely oblivious until Maggie up and dies and everyone comes from Chicago and invalidates his grief. It was going to have a happy ending though, I swear.

...you said that about Flower Girl.
