seperis | recs for a lazy afternoon

Randomly reccing:

Stargate Atlantis

Checkmate'verse by

beadattitude - Sheppard/McKay. Sheppard gets turned into a cat, right, but it's so much more than that. It's a collection of stories that just--to say this is my happiest place is to understate it. Your husband/wife/SO left, your dog/cat/pet died, your house/apartment/residence burned down--you go read this. It is that good. I did a longer rec of this one here and I stand by the fact that it's one of the few and far-between fic that just makes me melt in utter bliss.

Merlin

Misrule by

thehoyden, Merlin/Arthur - this is freaking hysterical. Saturnalia in Britain! Merlin the Maiden! Tournaments! Fun! Yes, all of this and more!

Treason to Us by

janne_d, Merlin/Arthur - one of my favorite angsty Arthur finds out. I love the progression, I love how Arthur thinks about it, and I love how well the author shows both his betrayal and eventual understanding.

Building a Bridge by

berusama, Merlin/Arthur - okay, this just works for me. Revengefic with porn. Awesome.

Details in the Fabric by

karakalyn, Merlin/Arthur - mob AU! That's--well, really all you need to know. Based on a Merlin comic linked in the story.

ETA: Part 2 of Details in the Fabric. I'm really interested in seeing where this goes.

To Be Known by

esohpe, gen - gen by way of very slashy. Another fantastic Arthur finds out, visceral, brutal, and painful to read. Also very true to what I think the initial reaction might be.

Quotes

If you don't send me feedback, I will sob uncontrollably for hours on end, until finally, in a fit of depression, I slash my wrists and bleed out on the bathroom floor. My death will be on your heads. Murderers

That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...
Wow. That was scary. Lex is like Jesus in the desert.
-- pricklyelf, on why Lex goes bad

Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"
-- Teague, reviewing "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones"

Beth: god, why do i have so many beads?
Jenn: Because you are an addict.
Jenn: There are twelve step programs for this.
Beth: i dunno they'd work, might have to go straight for the electroshock.
Jenn: I'm not sure that helps with bead addiction.
Beth: i was thinking more to demagnitize my credit card.

silverkyst: I need to not be taking molecular genetics.
silverkyst: though, as a sidenote, I did learn how to eviscerate a fruit fly larvae by pulling it's mouth out by it's mouthparts today.
silverkyst: I'm just nowhere near competent in the subject material to be taking it.
Jenn: I'd like to thank you for that image.

You know, if obi-wan had just disciplined the boy *properly* we wouldn't be having these problems. Can't you just see yoda? "Take him in hand, you must. The true Force, you must show him."

Aside from the fact that one person should never go near another with a penis, a bottle of body wash, and a hopeful expression...

It's weird, after you get used to the affection you get from a rabbit, it's like any other BDSM relationship. Only without the sex and hot chicks in leather corsets wielding floggers. You'll grow to like it.
-- revelininsanity, on my relationship with my rabbit

Smudged upon the near horizon, lapine shadows in the mist. Like a doomsday vision from Watership Down, the bunny intervention approaches.

LJ, 4/13/2006
Rule 3. Chemistry is kind of like bondage. Some people like it, some people like reading about or watching other people doing it, and a large number of people's reaction to actually doing the serious stuff is to recoil in horror.

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Fan Fiction is John Cusack standing outside your house with a boombox.

I was hoping to come over here and find some good recs and got a bonus birthday prezzie. Thanks, love.

As I'm lurking on your journal (don't ask me how I ended up here, I honestly can't remember) and enjoying your Merlin recs (thanks for that^^), I've noticed that your link for "To Be Known" was broken. It has been reposted since, there: http://sometimesophie.livejournal.com/57604.html since (and still is fantastic)

*goes back into silent lurker mode*

Oh my GAWD. I ... I've read thru your entire SGA rec list. All of it. I - I'm kind of horrified with myself. And impressed. But mostly horrified. And obscenely grateful to you for making that list, because really? It was all kinds of awesome, and then some. And then some more. It REDEFINED the awesomeness of awesome. It was like ... coffee, and cookies, and CHOCOLATE. AT THE SAME TIME.
Thank you.
