fanfic recs for the weekend

[minxy]

A'ight. I've renewed committment to labelling the ratings on fic. Poke me if I miss one and you want clarification of whether it's worksafe, or age appropriate or whatever.

First off, it's April Fool's Day, and the rather incredibly funny Anais (notmonkey) has written a Jack/Daniel fic in honor of this most austere day. April Fool. PG-13 for snark as only Anais can serve it up.

There are also two notably grand fics over at tealc_fic in response to the challenge prompt "escalade", the first by jalabert is Frustration and may be the first genuinely angry Teal'c fic I've read and it's well done. Also we have ldyanne's Scaling the Wall, which works up to the betrayal in Children of the Gods with impressive momentum. Both gen. PG for content? Dunno.

And can we send a shout out to moonshayde @ tealc_fic for prompting, inspiring, organizing and assigning the creation of more T centered fic than I have ever seen before? And it's good. This is so cool.

In the non-Teal'c categories, also known as omfgTHREESOME! J/D/S, I give you uberaeryn. These aren't new, but they're hot. And quite NC-17. Sam in the Middle and Six Hours, Nine Minutes and Thirty-two Seconds. Both PWP, fun and bordering on kinky. And then there was the Daniel/Sam/Female + voyeuristic Jack marvelousness that is Harder. No bordering, this is definitely marvelously voyeuristically kinky. Heh.

SGA author I Did Not Know:
torakowalski, Scenes From An Accidental Courtship. I'd read that just for the rhythm of the title alone. John/Rodney; first time; NC-17. Also read Wounded, a tag for The Eye. Also NC-17.

(and some I did)

eretria and auburnothenna have collaborated on the last of a triptych of John/Rodney fics that they wrote the first two of (for? of?) individualy and respectively: Vapor, Dragon Smoke and Vapor Lock (for murron). I'd give these an R rating for subject, but not terribly explicit content. The way they tell the story is cool, though, everything through a haze, whether self-imposed (inflicted?) or accidental, which leads to realization being stumbled onto with the kind of honesty that only confusion can bring. Interesting, and I think it really worked, particularly impressive since this wasn't originally supposed to be a series, and every part really has a different story, different point.

from synecdochic, a long gold sliding into dawn. John/Rodney, first time in it's own way, maybe early courtship, where you're still really surprised every time the other person shows up, NC-17.

And an author from SG-1 dun switched sides: James Walkswithwind (zortified) wrote the inevitable All's Fair in War which is lighthearted, fun, and sexy (all about Beckett man, this is one fic where the traditional pairings won't work at all). McKay/Beckett, R-ish, pretty tame, though, it's more about the foreplay. There are also a number of very sexy McKay/Beckett/Sheppard threesomes, and I stayed up far too late reading some last night. Heh. Good dreams, though.

I admit I did it on your reminder, but I know of at least one underage person on my flist and I ought to pay more attention though I think she's mostly into Harry Potter fandom, we talk about other stuff.

It's seriously difficult to rate a fic that I read several days ago and the author didn't bother to rate, though, especially when it's the difference between a relationship and explicit stuff, sometimes I just don't really remember (how bad is that?)

Oh, I'm sure. I'm forever forgetting in stories where it wasn't a PWP--Brighid's Wheel, for instance, where I'm all la la la oh crap, there is explicit sex in here after all!

One of my very favorites ever. And drat her anyway for distracting me from the smut with *hand flapping* plot and beauty and character and relationships and the end of the world as we knew it and stuff. *goes off to reread*
