seperis | recs: stargate atlantis: 2005

Child was sick today, so stayed home to ply him with maternal warmth. Maternal warmth, in these terms, translates into season five Buffy, since Child has decided that THIS is the girl he wants to marry. She fights evil snakes, you see. Earlier this week, we mainlined Season one and four, since I don't have two and three. He's been pretty much blissed, variating with season two Farscape, which we are rationing out and will probably watch until Christmas.

More recs, because this is a workday I'm skipping and I have nothing to do.

Bullets by the Door by

nifra_idril, the most beautiful, wonderful look at John in Afghanistan I have ever read. It's--wow, it's just *gorgeous*, the style and the language and *bliss*. I always forget how I just want to purr when I read something by her.

Sum by

billetallent, a tactile exploration of John and Rodney's relationship. It's warm and sweet and kind of leaves a glow after, you know?

Supplemental by

lierdumoa, and it just *kills me*. Rodney and John arguing, Calculus, Teyla's amusement, and God. So much *fun*.

For All Intents and Porpoises by

laceymcbain, in which there is an *aquarium*, and it's so--I don't know the words. But it's sweet.

Seriously, I am all about the cuddly these days.

We're just goign to up and call this

amireal day. Two stories, both rib-breakingly funny.

Coping Mechanisms, a fantastic AUish departure from post-Duet. It starts with a bang, which always pleases, and it carries on with fantastic humor. I think my favorite part of Amireal is she *does* have a sense of humor and it shows through in all her fic. She totally knows how to make me giggle in a serious story in all the right ways. Nicely long--really, she's becoming a favorite, it's like I'm guaranteed at least an hour of immersion. I'm easy like that.

And.

Where Did All the Physics Go?, which is one of those times I'm calling down a Required Reading Moment, because pretty much everyone needs to read this. It's a crossover, and I rarely like crossovers, and it's an *insane* crossover that doesn't work at all, but it just *does*, and Sheppard's ears have their own character moment, so not kidding. I'm not spoiling this--I read it completely without a clue what ti was crossing over and just--wow. It's *hysterical*, it's smart, it's funny, and oh my *God*, that was a blast.

No, seriously. It's *that good*.

I've been pretty steadily trying to think of updating my recs page, and I brought it up to semi-current, give or take about thirty storis that I couldn't find. So now that I'm no longer twitching over how many stories I've missed, I'll start actually telling people when I update.

Anyway, rec page, current enough for now, added about fifty-six stories to SGA, one Brother's Grimm. I'm pretty short on recs of *why*, but just take it for granted that these are ones I really, really loved, or really, really re-read a lot.

*****

Last night talking to

hwmitzy about a proposed expedition in Vancouver, she commented that she didn't get that I could almost memorize fanfic stories and not remember conversations. Which is probably pretty true. I remember maybe ten percent of what's said or texted to me in any meaningful way. I can, however, identify by plotline about three quarters of readable fic posted in SV before 2003 and my working memory of SGA is running at about seventy percent. It's kind of weird now that she said that, because I've always taken for granted I have a bad memory, but I've never had a problem with ultra complex stories and remembering them, or being able to organize them in my head by plotline and *remember* them. It's got to be some kind of weird associative memory thing going on. I'm just wondering how it's associated exactly, and why.

Oh yes, it was a long, boring day at work. I had way too much tiem to think.

Okay, that meme, finally.

Gakked from

rageprufrock:

Ask me what happens after the end of any of my stories. (Or tell me what you think.)

The only ones I won't answer are the ones I'm actually currently working on, and only then because I'm scared I'll get a fit of nervousness and erase the whole thing.

I'm thinking that this meme has passed enough people now that it won't be very noticed here. *grins* I like doing my memes when they are Very, Very Old News.

Isolation by

kharessa - Lost Boys fic. Wow. If there was ever, *ever* a story that straddled the nebulous line in my mind of what is non-con and what's rape, this one is *it*. It's *fantastic*, unsettling as hell, disturbing and dark and twisty and it's completely John and completely, utterly Rodney.

This time, however, Rodney hadn’t waited to break, and it seemed he’d taken John at his word. Hands that wore calluses in places where a scientist’s hands shouldn’t be callused ran over John’s torso, thumbs and forefingers pinching nipples a little too tightly for comfort, and John’s stomach knotted. Rodney couldn’t make him feel good – not from within the distorting haze of the enzyme that granted physical superiority while stripping away the mental safeguards that stopped sane people from simply taking what they wanted and acting on every urge. Rodney could drag it out, though; he could make it lasting and memorable.

That just--that last bit hurts me *every time*. Because John *knows* that lasting and memorable? Are not what he wants here.

After a terrifying journey into *a night without fic*!, an embarassment of riches. And hotness.

Something To Remind You by

cjandre - set between The Defiant One and Hot Zone. I wish there was a good way to summarize this, but there's just *not*. CJ just does the *hottest* stuff ever, and it's--wow. It's wonderfully written and hto as hell. So seriously, happy place here. An entire *galaxy* of cookies worth.

Be Cool by

hth_the_first - you know, I almost giggled myself into a fit. I think it might forevermore be known as the one where they got *really* stoned. And they did. And it was *good*.

Okay, will *so* go looking for more cookie icons soon.

This is pretty much the *epitome* of the story I just *knew* had to come out of The Lost Boys

With the Lost Boys by

gelasius - Rodney hopped up on panic and enzyme therapy, the porn track of Ronon and Teyla next door--really, who *didn't* see this coming? Missing, and highly hot--scene from The Lost Boys.

Total post-coital purring. Mmmm.

chopchica did her READ THIS NOW I'M GOING TO EAT THERE WILL BE A QUIZ ON YOUR COMPREHENSION AFTERWARD thing, which is really charming once you get past the 'huh' and the 'what' part.

Something Else by

hetrez - post-Trinity Rodney fic. It's--amazing. Beautiful, utterly *wonderful* prose, and a lovely look at Rodney and Sheppard both, and it's--I'm repeating myself, but then again, it bears repeating.

So you know. Run along with you. Cause seriously, this one just moved into my favorites like *fast*.

Unhealthy Attachment by

amireal - the Harlequin challenge has *really* brought out the creativity in people, and this was *so much fun*. It's kind sorta h/c and Rodney being a complete ass but hugely *himself* and John high a lot, but not *recreationally*, and okay, I don't want to spoil it, but just go. Read. Wallow. Huge fun.

Cookie icon for good fic! This is me, being a dork. I need more cookie icons.

Okay, this is why I love

justabi more than *cookies*.

There's Something About Mary by

justabi, Wraith stripper fic, in which there is a red light *planet*, cool technology, and the universe's first Wraith stripper. Sheppard/McKay

Seriously, *read this*. Incredibly hot. Incredibly, mindblowingly hot. Wow.

Oh! New icon courtesey of

slodwick!

When I say creepy, I mean, the best, most encroaching, most viscreal kind. Set during Conversion, Sheppard pov.

The Man Next Door by

saeva and

verstehen

Really. The slow twisting of John's thoughts--still him, but other, too--just *work*.

Euler's Jewel -- orgasmic math. So totally not joking with this one. Makes you kinda want to take that linear algebra class you blew off, cause man, who *knew*?

Oh hell yes, cookie icon for this. Cookie icon *forever* for this one.

Limits by

cjandre - if only stick fighting was like this. Rodney's testing his limits. And wow, does he ever.

Parry and Thrust by

chopchica - this is why the world is a wonderful, wonderful place. MORE STICKS! And all is well. And by well, we mean *porny*.

One day, I'm going to rec something and not just gibble happily. THat day is not today.

The Convenient Husband, part 1 and part 2 by

brighidestone - very AU, part of the Harlequin challenge, in which John needs to get married *now* and Rodney's--well. Come on. You can totally see where this is going. And it goes *well*.

You know what would make this moment perfect? Chocolate.

To keep up with all the new fic.

Pushing by

cjandre - post-Trinity fic, whereas Rodney learns not to push and it pays off so very, very well. By 'well', I mean 'sexy', so you see where this is going, right?

Instantaneous by cimorene - wonderful, wonderful *long* fic, with John finding new cool technology and it's just *good*. Fantastically realized Rodney and John, hot, and beautifully written. It makes me happy. Very, very happy.

A Blue True Dream of Sky by

isilya - very AU, John/Rodney in the Austrailian outback. This is an *amazing* read, I can *see* it perfectly. Don't let the AU throw you off--this is marvelous.

*pretty* *happy*

Fat Free

To preface: if you are a fat-free milk, or fat-free anything person, go you! You are healthier than I am. And also have very, very different taste buds. I mean this in the spirit of tolerance and love for my fellow man.

Who. Keeps. Buying. The. Fat. Free. Milk?

Okay, I have hit my ceiling for understanding those who live with me, live near me, or in some capacity feed me. This includes restaurants that keep offering me *fat free blackberry pie* and *fat free cheesecake* and God help us all and every one, *fat free chocolate*, because that's like going up to a rancher and expecting no steaks on the grill. I am that person. I am in the fat-food zone.

Just--it's *white water*, not milk. Once, someone tried to trick me by putting the fat free milk in a whole milk container. I KNEW! And I always know. I know when my cheese is low calorie, I know when my milk is sucked of all fatty goodness and by God and every saint in the catalogue, this has got to stop now. I now navigate my favorite food aisle of all, teh frozen dinners, surrounded by Lean Cuisines that get like, fifty lockers, and yesterday, my son expressed a desire for fat free frozen yogurt. (and how the hell do you spell that?)

The betrayal is *breathtaking*.

I'm going to have to farm my own fat, aren't I? I'll be the last one, buying up the last of the high calorie mayonaisse and raising my own sad little cows and they keep *giving me fat-free chicken breasts* and I feel like this is some kind of really bad movie where everyone si trying to lower my cholesterol and blood pressure and make me healthy and I dn't *want* to be, by God. And for that matter, my blood pressure is low enough, thank you, and if it wasn't, well, I'll trade my blood pressure for whole milk, whipped cream, and fully-sugared, fully-buttered, covered in vanilla bean ice cream chocolate brownies, and I DON'T CARE.

As you can see, this hasnt' been one of my better food days.

Oh, look, Atlantis fic! *points*

*****

The Gun Thing by

out_there - because some people still love me and write me kinky fic, and I'm all, ooh, because *pretty weapons* and *pretty John* and these things go together very much. Yes. Happy. Read now.

In which I am happy. Liek, very.

Another Word for Optimism by

celli - seriously, discretion is seriously the better part of valor. And also, Rodney's having a really good day. And--yeah, I don't want to spoil it. Just. I can see this.

Neither a Ocelot or a Raccoon Be by

basingstoke - and I'd like to thank her for increasing my vocabulary by two new words--Ocelot (I looked it up! Yay me!) and creodant (asked

basingstoke). So the next time someone says you can't learn anything from porn, you can say, yes, you did. Also, outside the vocabulary lesson, there is John. And Rodney. In a tree.

You know this song.

You know, if my real life would involve any of the above, I'd need a lot less chocolate in my life.

You know, it's much easier to keep track of stories I love if I write it down somewehre.

So.

Constitutional Crisis by

fabularasa - okay, wonderful plotline idea here, and also, oh man, the *hot*. Just--something about talking about the sex you are going to have? Does. Things. In good ways. Mindbendingly good ways. But also, *very cool* plot there.

The Start Line by

sdraevn - a fantastic bit of Ronan pov as he considers Atlantis, joining the team, and his interaction with his potential team members. But seriously, the best part, for me, was his view of John. That *worked*.

Happiness is fic.

justabi - still not seeing you around. *eyes you* Come out, come out, wherever you are....

*bouncing still* I've had way too much sugar today. As can be inferred by teh bouncing.

Zelenka's Still by

auburnnothenna

I'm going to go with a quote, because no rec can do it justice.

It was Elizabeth. She was standing on one of the tables. Crooning. Sheppard was pretty sure he couldn't have been more frightened if it had been a Wraith-queen doing a striptease. Maybe. Hell, it was a toss up.

Elizabeth did a snaky move and sang a sultry, "Nice work if you can get it, and you can get it if you try ..." She waved at them and smiled.

There's fruit, porn, mushrooms, and I have no idea how you even *describe* this, okay? None. But you have to read it *now*. It's. An experience.

Cookie icon for being fabulous. Wow.

This is proof positive that increased whining *can* get you what you want.

Especially when you do it at length.

SGA Headset Sex by

nifra_idril. In which John really, really tries, and Rodney--well. He tries too, but weirdly.

Seriously, read this now. Beverage warning a given.

silviakundera means *happy*.

Matter of Fact. Post-Intruder John-ness. So very *much* John-ness. Seriously so. Run. Read. Be one with the cuteness. Cause seriously. So. Cute.

Hmm. I need to go make SGA icons. That is my next project.

The saddest thing is, the high point of my day was getting a perfectly legitimate chance to yell at my supervisor. And get away with it. A lot of it has to do with me catching her off her game. Some has to do with the fact I bought her a cake for her birthday for the office. Yeah. I'm totally the office whore. And not even in a fun, sexy way. Mostly in a food-related way.

Trying to explain the joy of this is impossible, but it really comes close to death by chocolate, the real kind, with hot fudge. I mean, nothing is *quite* that good--but we're definitely talking in the pre-orgasmic range of whoo and hoo.

There's really no good story to go with it, sadly--it was a blitz day, which means an interview every thirty minutes. One of the things I am careful to keep hidden is that, technically, I only need fifteen minutes, because I use that stolen fifteen minutes per hour to finish other work, instead of doing what everyone else is doing--to wit, skipping work. I also gave a long lecture to my immediate superior (worker IV, not supervisor) about how our new motto should not be excellence, but rather, those not *caught* fucking up shall inherit the jobs. Also, that it actually *is* better to be marginally adequate than good. Good takes *time*. Adequate really doesn't. Hell, incompetence takes less, and I'm seriously considering trying it out for size.

So I am zen in work. I will be Adequate. And sometimes, I'll share my Toll House brownie bars, if people ask nicely.

Recs

You know, I miss reccing. SGA unless otherwise noted.

The Reverse of Fascinatoin by

shrift, light, light spoilers for Intruder. Sheppard is very, very bored. Rodney hides under navigation panels. There's an unsuccessful crossword puzzle book. Then some other stuff. If I said why I loved it, it would start with "ooh, snark!" but seriously...no, wait. It does start with that. And also the hot. Happy. I am happy.

Operation Think of Atlantis by

liviapenn, first seasonish pretty. If the title doesn't clue you in on the subject matter, really, you need to really be in fandom more. Also, codpieces. And monolithic penii. Penises. Sorry, it's got to be penii. The s makes everything look wrong.

Still Water by Rachael Sabotini, second seasonish, no specific spoilers, in which there are bathhouses. *Bathhouses*. *Brilliant*. Also, fantastically *good* Sheppard/McKay, all uneven and not clean and well, you know, hot. That too.

Hindsight part 1 and part 2, very AU, with the murder attempt and the string theory model and all the sex that isn't really happening, and you really never thought that hitting on someone could be comparable to blunt force trauma, but there you go. That's Pru.

Other

You know what else I miss? Not having my entire life in boxes. This needs to stop now.

Okay, bored now.

svmadelyn--entertain me? Please?
