Christmas fic
Dec. 27th, 2005 12:25 amOh, but I love Peg B. It is my very favorite AU. And Jack/Rodney of the PegBa'al offshoot is my very favorite unlikely pairing evah. And it is so wonderfully handled by
raqs. But then, in my head,
raqs is the axis about which Peg B turns, so I might be a little biased (listen, the first fic I read was Under a Broken Moon, and it just all comes back to that for me.)
Pegasus B Jack is horribly broken. With sharp edges. It's hard to explain but he and Rodney gravitated towards one another in their brokenness and loss. Nightmares, forced healing through shrink visits, friendship that transcends words, all these things grow a relationship that far precedes sexuality, which is good because terribly broken!Jack has never been anything less than completely straight before. Yet they sleep together, side by side, these friends who can't sleep alone anymore. And it's Christmas, and that can throw into sharp relief exactly how many important, little things they've lost: Wrapping Paper. Jack/Rodney, adult, Pegasus B/Ba'al 'verse, a Christmas story.
