minxyOkay, here's what I know:
For the Atlantis, other's rec more thoroughly and it 's their thing (I point you to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ship_recs who is a masterful pimp) but this one can't be passed over: Survival by niannah is Ronon POV (is voice is marvelous, how he says little, sees much, and might return to any given conversation whenever he has something else to say about it) with John/Rodney in the background, which is marvelous, especially as Ronon starts to understand that it's more than just safety and basic needs now, and he starts thinking about what he wants, has and things like luxuries and things precious. Really beautifully written. Just the opening observations of weather are incredible.
janedavitt has posted the third story in her Eclipsed Series and I highly recommend it. At the moment, I love that Paul is jealous of Daniel and that Jack plays it a little bit when he's really angry. I actually love this for all the ways Paul ISN'T Daniel: he's a diplomat but when he's saying what he really means can be tactless and harsh and difficult. That the rank between Jack and Paul bites them on the ass at inconvenient times and that they are never unaware of it. That of the two men, it ends up being Jack who can say what he wants, can apologize (I adore the hints that this is Daniel's influence) because it's a totally different relationship from the Jack/Daniel relationship I adore in it's own right, but still CHARACTER driven.
Which, really, is all I ever want: character driven stories that tell me something more about the people involved (preferably angsty, can you guys do that for me?) and why I'm totally willing to see other pairings if they tell me something new about the characters. [/meta]
Uh, whoops, I gotta go. I had some more fics I wanted to talk about but... later.
Don't miss me too much, yeah?
