fanfic recs (Fourth of July edition, whee!)

[minxy]

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT: sg1_debrief is up and running and will begin newslettering shortly. splash_the_cat, our intrepid maintainer, is asking for support and subscription and dude, we have lacked for a newsletter, so go encourage her madness, yeah?

Mitchell/Sheppard advancement celebration; loved the lazy, laidback approach and their effect on each other. amireal's Promotion. NC-17.

(for those of you who really, really loved frostfire_17's Here is No Water, there is the link again. If you haven't read that yet, GO READ IT, it's rather brilliant. NC-17, Cameron/John.)

Farscape, tag for Liars, Guns and Money, Walk Out of the Air, by M. In which Aeryn tries to anchor John in his unstoppable slide. Her confusion was marvelous, and I like the perplexity of a woman not used to failing. R, some John/Aeryn.

kellifer_fic writes a little thing for surrealphantast with Sam and Rodney, with banter, and humor. G rated, but it's all about teh snark. Go Sam. Slot A into Slot B.

Betacandy, at betacandy_sgfic has posted a brilliant Janet's introduction to the team fic, S1, just post Emancipation. Assess This, PG, gen. Fabulous voice, amazing instant relationships as well as those that take a little longer to settle in, really good observation skills from Janet and I love the sense that this is not the only thing she's done today, not the wierdest, and possibly not the most important, but goodness, it left an impression.

kormantic asked for Ronon fic, and after leaving my own favorites, I saw minnow1212's list. *guh*

Sdraven's brilliant introduction of the team to Ronon, and his thought processes coming around to being part of a community again. The Start Line. Smart, gen, G or PG.

A really, breathtakingly beautiful team, with John/Rodney, and Ronon and Teyla being wonderful; Teyla with her own brand of brilliant wisdom so great she has it to spare for other people's fears, and Ronon and John revealing more of their burdons than anyone could have guessed they carried. Rodney by turns sceptical and afraid and supportive and awed, but always with. Plus a side of 'how strange these Earthers', which I always love. I mean, we're ODD. Through Midnight Rain, Question Me Again Perfect team, perfect Ronon, and a nice long plotty story. By sageness, R or NC-17, SGA.

On the lighter side, nestra's Lingual In which Ronon and Rodney bond over food, which makes perfect sense. Ronon/Rodney, NC-17.

Then, I just found this one by coincidence: mirabile_dictu's Pianoforte, which is also Ronon/Rodney. I have no idea why this odd couple works, actually, except that Ronon has clearly been so changed and traumatized by running that it begs the question of who he was before that. This longer fic has great Ronon backstory and a sweet courtship over music. Plus, I love the word 'scholar' associated with Ronon, it really hits a kink or something.

Lastly, agentotter wrote a snippet for cofax7 that is amazing early Sam and Daniel friendship, when Sam was wrapping her brain around going to other planets and Daniel was adjusting to so much loss, and all about a frog. Protective Resemblence, PG, gen.

Hi! Just popping in to let you know I've friended you. I have no idea how I've missed knowing you since we have so many friends in common. Yay! A new friend.

Oh, and HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY. I won't sing because I sing even worse than Troyswan (see what a nice thoughtful person I am?).

You are so good for my ego.

So we were going to meet on IM, yes? Would you be willing to send your screenname to my livejournal email address?

But Sal can do jazz hands like nooooobody's business.

Welcome to the ocean! Friends are good. I don't know how I miss friending people sometimes either, but I'm glad you're here. *smootches* (is it too soon for smootches?)

Oh shur. I will email, but I do require an appointment for AIM, on account of it has a habit of kicking me off so I don't log on unless I expect a chat.

(and that one? That was totally unintentional, dood! Last time, I knew I'd make you blush, but this time it was just a toss off thing. 'You read this right? Cause it's brilliant like a very bright thing. Right, next...' So clearly you can anticipate more random flattery of that kind.)

I think our many connections allow us to skip the chaste courtship phase. **smoochies** backatcha.

Thanks!
