fanfic recs

[minxy]

I have a general pointer to the kink & cliche multifandom ficathon going on (there is very little SG-1 so far. Woe!) in which I read a fantastic 'heat, with short tempers' fic from thegrrrl2002: Meltdown, John/Rodney, NC-17, and 'anonymous, sex in the dark' from z_rayne: No Anarchy in the Universe, SGA NC-17.

Also getting it's very own pointer line: The Tipping Point, SGA, NC-17, John/Rodney, possessiveness and power play, extremely well done, with balance and strength and complex psychology and character. Amazing. By alizarin_nyc for the kink challenge. (Thanks to raqs for the pointer.)

and the mmom community, dedicated to multifandom masturbashun for the month of May. Lots of grand, grand little fics there, but a Teal'c/Sam stood out for me: Tent Walls Part 2 from geonncannon (NC-17) also ozsaur's special hell OT4: That is the Question (SGA, NC-17) and Good Vibrations (Teyla, gen, teen) Lots of great little bits of smut on a daily basis over there, ranging from funny to hot, cracked to character studies. delph will please note that there is at least one M7 fic there from docmichelle, other fandoms I noticed were Alias, CSI, Firefly, HP, Stargates, Flintstones, Peeps... apparently anything goes over there.

ETA: also, hey! The Atlantis Back to Basics Challenge Master List! Gen, het, slash, poly, all represented. Many choices, easy payments.

ivorygates wrote a really interesting House/SG-1 slash crossover, in which Daniel in his messed up glory, meets House at a conference, and they have this fantastics, screwed up kind of interaction. Hotel Sex, NC-17, House/SG-1, House/Daniel.

jenlev committed silliness: Life-Sized for the Dough-Boy. I am without words. SG-1, gen.

only_fell wrote a beautiful bit of backstory for Inara: Miyako Odori. Brings into beautiful context the statement of the pilot that so few men are mysterious. Firefly, pre-series, no spoilers, Inara, PG rated.

mamadebfic wrote an impressive little h/c fic for John and Rodney in a pre-slash sort of way that's haunting: Some Far-off Touch, PG-13.

And I think... I think that's all I got, unless you want to talk about the other two books in the Steerswoman's Series by Rosemary Kirstein, because they were interesting, and I loved the sort of theme that Will and Rowan are walking lines between two different honor systems, and that Bel is uncomfortable with that kind of compromise.

For some reason, though, I wasn't expecting such an episodic feel to those books, like they were an ongoing television show: sure, you wrap up that storyline, and the characters are changing, but it doesn't necessarily feel like they're going to wrap things up anytime soon. More of a constant 'to be continued...' which isn't bad, per se, but I'm not the biggest fan of WIPs. I like to read it all at once.

Also, Alias was cracked last week, and I think they've played out the 'doubled' storyline ad nauseum, but I guess now Syd goes double agent again, which was certainly fun the first time around, we get to see all our favorite guest stars although they've now officially killed off Gina Torres (unless they've combined 'back from the dead' technology with state of the art 'undoubling' technology, which I doubt) which makes me sad. And what's with the lack of photo for Vaughn? No moment about the baby? No angst about the separation? What UP? The last few episodes have felt like place markers while they set up something, and I'm willing to go with that, but I'm ready for the ball to start rolling now.

And, I still haven't seen last weeks Dr. Who, and it was the 'Are you my mummy?' resolution, so I should watch that sometime.

ETA: Oh, hello... Sam and Daniel sparring, with Teal'c teasing and the physical and the sexy and the dirty all coming to the mat. Fighting as foreplay, ladies and gents, and all of them very nicely in character. Sparring, by psychofilly, Sam/Daniel(/Teal'c), PG-13 from an icon prompt.

ETA2: mmmchelle wrote some gentle, welcoming, healing, funny femslash, and I loved it and feel like it was just for me. No seriously, any of the rest of you read your given name in a fic and felt like, omg I'm sleeping with Teyla? Because wow, go me! I am teh awesome! Kate/Teyla, NC-17, SGA, Not Almost. It really did feel like a sexy hug of a fic.

ETA3: thassalia has written an amazing 5 things fic, in keeping with May being masturbation month, that is incredibly in character and lonely and heartbreaking in 5 fully different ways. But hot. I have no idea how she did that. SG-1, S9, NC-17. Her sensory detail is incredible.

Huh. I never emailed them about my layout changing, just picked a new one, and while I've tweaked it today, there were no major changes (I defined myself in that profile thing on the side bar. *glee*) You don't think they're trying to change you back and further messing with things, do you?

Glad you have all this fic to comfort you.

they wrote me that they're not sure what's happening....and to let them know exactly where i was in LJ-land the next time it happened. good thing i wrote down my customization on a trusty 5 x 7 card. i'm getting so good at changing the layout back...it takes minutes. and i don't mutter quite so much about it. heh.

and yay for fic. and for being in a community of people where i get to be a silly and cracked as i really am. ;)
