Open Letter to the Muse
Kristy Bowen
Dear alphabet. Dear spark.
My head is dull like a shell with the ocean in it. When you left me in the restaurant, I scoured the dictionary for days. Kissed men until my teeth hurt. Craved margaritas and the salt on the back of your neck. O my barb wire. My broken key. When you went south wearing my blackest dress, I looked in every hotel room from here to Knoxville. Cried in the shower. Found you puking in the backseat and mumbling about metaphor. On good days, you’re a mad scientist. On bad, a vain girl with a scalpel. I put out a glass of wine to trap you. Line the drawers with sawdust. You hide my clothes and threaten to riot. Play gin rummy with the neighbors, throw record players out windows. On good days, I can get you to lie on the floor while I chant Light as a feather, stiff as a board.
Light as a feather, stiff as a board.
from Welcome To the Night Vale (sorta):
"I don't know, but I trapped it in my bedroom. Send help."
I'm not really feeling quotations today. Have some SG-1 recs, which today shall be Teal'c friendship recs.
Dira Sudis will own your heart forever with this story: With the Dying, a Moebius fic of glorious sadness, and Teal'c and Daniel friendship. And glory. And sadness.
My story: Without Fear of Wind or Vertigo Teal'c and Vala friendship, set during S10's Unending, and about enduring and unexpected allies.
And a story frompaian, which is not explicit friendship with anyone, but when she writes Teal'c, something really sublime happens: An I for an I is to the prompt of Identity, and really, really amazing. Teal'c. And Identity. By Paian. Worksafe.
And here's a good one about Sam and Teal'c:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
surrealphantast wrote Godless, a lovely strange ritual of friendship between Sam and Teal'c: the ritual of Sunday mornings and the cult of bacon, and lovely. SG-1, gen, PG.
Actually, you know what would be interesting? If you took an amazing story from a fandom that has no new canon (maybe your favorite Farscape story, maybe early series SG-1, I dunno) and used that as inspiration for a current fandom you love. Wouldn't that be an interesting remix? Using the sense of atmosphere, or way the world ended, or central gag in the crack!fic, and letting another set of characters in another time play it out?
