.... and that concludes the foray into the Personal Life of Minxes. Except that I am *fascinated* with the possibility of buying my own place. One year of savings should have my forays around the world paid for and enough for a downpayment, maybe. It would be nice to not be renting, although, you know, California (the land of the half a million dollar condo.)


Today on the internets the last episode of Stargate will become available. Like [livejournal.com profile] barkley, I think this should be cause for celebrating all things Stargate. As is my wont, I will bring beer and recs:

[late-breaking ETA: Alert reader [livejournal.com profile] splash_the_cat drew my attention to this really marvelous Sam and Teal'c friendship piece that is just adorable. Lucky, lucky Sam. Enjoying the View from [livejournal.com profile] moonshayde, worksafe. I have no excuse for missing this. None. I have shame.]

[livejournal.com profile] surrealphantast wrote a screamingly amazing Sam/Jack vignette, where Sam's loneliness has the reality of fear and her movements and actions feel viceral and real. The connection with Jack is gentle and distanced and the silent company of people with empty houses. May, worksafe, PG.

On Jenn's rec, I also read a gen (there's a little canonical flirting) Daniel piece that is just so *Daniel* in his tenacious striving to understand, in the brilliant leaps and insights he has and keeps to himself, in his realizations that he is different, and his embracing his own strengths. Things Not Dreamed. Lovely, worksafe, by [livejournal.com profile] stargazercmc.

...Heeeeeeyyyyyyy, you know, I think I also found this because of Jenn. This is just going to be a very [livejournal.com profile] surrealphantast kind of post. [livejournal.com profile] abyssinia4077, who usually writes gen, takes a foray into het, both canonical and extrapolated, to give us some of the most heartbreaking insights into Daniel's relationships. Sha're and Sarah and Sam and, oh, Daniel. It's a short piece and it's got several punches in it. Cornerstone, S7-8, PG-13.

(Please to ignore this little foray out of the SG-1 recs, I'll get over it in a minute.)

Back in December, [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock posted an awesome SGA/Eureka crossover, and I can't remember if I talked about it at the time, but it's funny and in character and wonderful. Summer House, PG, worksafe. Because forget beaches and resorts, this is totally how Rodney would vacation.

For the other three people out there who remember Dark Angel's occasionally great qualities: A Max and Alec friendship-ish story, with skills and conniving and theft and flirting and sniping and one-handed back handsprings off the walls. Bill of Service, PG, worksafe from Sonya in last year's Yuletide.

(....and we're back!)

And for your Jack/Daniel fix for the day, a little playful early relationship for the bathrobe challenge from [livejournal.com profile] melayneseahawk, The Morning After, PG-13, worksafe.

The Sam/Daniel Ficathon is currently accepting signups, ladies and gentlemen, if you are looking for an outlet for your 'Celebrate Stargate's Last Episode Loudly' energy, may I suggest a little [livejournal.com profile] sd_ficathon? Or perhaps a jaunt over to [livejournal.com profile] sg1_ever_after to participate in the timed finale ficlette challenge?

ETA2: Celebrations commence thusly: @[livejournal.com profile] niamaea's audio/visual recs of joy and teamy goodness! and fic! Yay! Getting Closer, a beautiful pre-slash moment (Jack/Daniel, Lost City missing scene, worksafe).
[livejournal.com profile] nandamai posted a very funny S10 Sam/Jack with awkwardness! Bwhahahahaha! A Hostage Crisis. PG-13, worksafe.
[livejournal.com profile] tripoli8 is holding a wake of love.

So, a job. And your own place. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. I wonder if I'll be headed this way anytime soon... *posts CV and is hopeful*

Also, I'm in turn fascinated by the "one year of savings". In Poland, it would be "ten years of savings". Such a different world...

The numbers that build up over time are absolutely ridiculous. I'm looking at nearly $1,000/month rent, or double that in mortgage payments. I'd have enough in one year for a small downpayment, but nowhere near a really good one, so I'd have to balance that out with a First Time Homeowner's break or something... It would be gymnastics, but it would be worth it, maybe.

I'll be there for 4-5 years, so it will ultimately be long enough to make owning feasible.

And as for going there, looks like you will be physically coming near me (kinda) if you go to that SPN con in LA. Dunno about the job part, but I'll cross my fingers for you.
