fanfic recs

[minxy]

surrealphantast's Drifting Back to Us OT3 in which Jack starts it, kicking himself the entire time, most likely, Daniel is critical and lost, and Sam holds them, or brings them back together. Adult, S5-7.

Sweet J/D, subtle enough to be friendshippy: Far and Near, janedavitt, PG.

In oxoniensis's porn battle rematch, miera_c has written weir/dex, which I enjoy because of the hotness that is Ronon (which has sort of taken over my brain lately) and because I'm pretty sure Elizabeth is more awesome than she's written in canon. Tame. NC-17.

Speaking of Ronon: hard earned wisdom, written in ink in his skin, illegible to anyone else. A Broader Mark for Sorrow. destina. Go read, it's gorgeous. Non-explicit, R rated, maybe, slash. Lovely.

Speaking of Destina (happy birthday, Des!), her friends have mounted a campaign to celebrate the day of her birth, and many beautiful Jack/Daniel stories have been gifted from the Pouncer, Elishavah, Jenlev, Troyswann (whoa), Katie M, Shalott (pornographic G rated pie!), Cofax (post descension fic Whiskey and Dust) in destina_fic.

nandamai with in character Sam/Jack, S9, which will make you hurt for the acceptance and the distance and how much Jack hates his job. Folding a Map, mild R.

ahem. This one goes last (but not least):

You will not be chasing this story with anything else. It doesn't matter that it's labeled Sheppard gen (or /OFC) or that it's long and plotty and heartbreaking... or perhaps it's because of those things, but no other fic will be able to follow it. It will take over your head and you will fall in love with a John who will trust you with his life but not that of someone he's protecting, who has depth and backstory in spades and is hurting and sweet and Not Fucking Around. A John like this would have my undivided attention on screen, and even on the page I sat down and read this straight through to the end (did I mention it's long? and that the pacing is marvelous?) and cried, twice, before it was over. Add to that Teyla, (and Rodney, and Ronon, and everyone else) and I'm toast.

M.'s (=samdonne's) Your Cowboy Days Are Over (Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys). John, SGA, gen or het (OC), NC-17. Warning for (OC) death.

She knows.

Ah, that's good. :-)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Yup, I made sure she knew before posting. (I hope we're talking about who I think we're talking about)

*gets out decoder ring*

That was a pretty durned cool birthday thing, though.

Geez. People need to stop writing RIGHT NOW. I cannot keep up with the fic, seriously. How is anyone supposed to write their own stuff, much less, say... WORK when there is so much good fic out there right now just needing to be read?

I feel overwhelmed. And yet compelled to read on...

Thanks, Minx!

Ah, but that's why you have me, and these lovely posts that will hang out and just wait for you to find the appropriate rainy day, right?

And we can't tell them to stop, because then what would I reeeeead?

Welcome.

Heading off for the new fic humming happily, and thanks for the rec! ::hugs::

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

No problem. Such nice little stories all in a row...

[elishavah.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the rec! (the specific link points the wrong place, though, ack, don't want to be a bother)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

No bother, no bother. It's like beta love--keeps me from looking silly and is much appreciated. (You're welcome for the soon to be corrected rec!)

[delphia2000.livejournal.com]

The destina fics are marvelous! I don't want to butt into the community so I guess I'll have to say 'Happy Birthday' to her here and hope she finds it. (How wonderful to be the kind of person who rates that!)

You do rec the best stuff, Minxy. Ack...must stop reading and do RL stuff before I have to go to work tomorrow. Maybe after this next fic.... :oD

hee! icon.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

The community is open for membership, I think the whole point was to have overwhelming numbers of well-wishers etc, so you should feel welcome to go post formal love if you like, though I have it on good authority that she likes to watch me pimp stuffs and might waltz by.

That last one? That John one? That's for the eBookman and a long stretch of time that can be devoted to reading and savoring... perhaps a slow day at work? heh.

one... more... fic... *works the juju*

[cofax7]

Oh, you pimp! Many thanks, btw.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

I'll tease them apart and describe when the individual fic make it to recs lists, but to see them all together is so cool. Marvelous collections of marvelous stories for a marvelous woman. Teh awesome.

*is a pimp*

I'm so proud. Where's my pimping hat? Oh, found it.
