I would like to draw your attention, gentle readers, to the following:

The apocalypse_kree prompts are incredible. When this remix thing is done and posted (ON MY BIRTHDAY, YAY! Can you imagine a better present than an awesome ficathon going live on your birthday? I won't likely have a lot of time to see it, but it makes me gleeful liek whoa) I shall go over there and pick some prompts to write to. Yes I shall. You should too, that is all.

Cam/Teal'c that niamaea, bless her, wrote for me! More Teal'cy thoughts from me about the ending had her hooking Teal'c up with Cam, because who but Cam would admit, in detail, to having a massive crush on a person who was about to go back in time and retain the memory of that confession? Only Cam. Nia's Cam voice is wonderful, even as he's simultaneously on guard and at ease. Wildly Improbable Probabilities (ETA: updated link and title) PG-13, worksafe.

OOOOOOoohhhhhh, then she went and posted this little ficlet! In which Daniel blinks and deals and is oblivious to the really important subtext going on here: Down Time With a Vengance. Teal'c and Cameron, on the same wavelength. Worksafe, and friendship, although we all known that they went out for 'Chinese Food' afterwards.

destina's sweet, believable, fantastically voiced rps fic The Truth About Heaven. Complicated and wonderful, there are sides of original characters and girlfriends, even a fantastic kiss with an actor given such a marvelous voice I did not ping the familial relationship at all, but really this feels like two people with chemistry figuring some things out independently and then coming together to realize the chemistry is Chemistry, and doing something about it. The ease of two guys who communicate well bringing that comfort to a new phase of a relationship is marvelous. Jared/Jensen, NC-17, not work-safe, and proof that I will read anything, even real person slash of Supernatural actors who Play Brothers On T.V., if it comes from Destina.

Tallulah Rasa's Rings, or Six Times SG-1 Talked About Trees, which I found through katie_m, posted a few months back. This is Jack/Daniel, in gentle pantheon of emotions from easy friendship to fear to loss to hope, and it's lovely and subtle. It also did that recommending circle thing where Katie pointed it out, and five of the pimps saw it and recommended it at different times and thus, older fic are suddenly the getting a resurgence in popularity. I love fandom, seriously. Worksafe.

princessofg continues to be inspired to post this incredibly romantic 1950s flyboy/crypographer AU for Jack and Daniel. There's a little bit of discussion of intolerance in there, but less than when they're not in an AU setting, actually. This is just an incredibly romantic story in a very romantic setting and it's a luscious kind of escape. Prin is up to part 6 at this point, but each bit has stood alone enough for me to be reading along happily. Little morsels of crazy-sexy-happiness. And I'm not really an AU type, so there you go. Maybe It Was Memphis master list. Jack/Daniel, AU, NC-17 usually (always).

Speaking of AUs, here's a canon AU that paian took and ran with. True to form, she's played with a couple of different ideas and I guess tossed one of them at a roundtree community, but this is a story she completed. This is Jack and Daniel, Loki's younger clone versions, in an AU where Daniel allowed himself to be cloned as well so that Jack wouldn't be alone. It's a slashy story, where they're out of the military and paian contrasts them very nicely with the military's Jack and Daniel that we all know and love. Some lovely themes of respect and duty and love and facets of one's personality. And gorgeously written, of course, since this is paian. Not Us, part 1/2 (completed), NC-17, with options for viewing in different styles.

Oh, this is a pretty little thing: Five Ways Sha're Joined the SGC, and What Came of It, by whisper99. Short, sweet, and one of three or so Sha're fics that I know of (that have been posted *looks meaningfully at paian and synecdochic*)

sg1_five_things in general is doing some really need things to celebrate the finale. Worth checking out the latest weekly prompts of ways the story might have gone if the finale was after other episodes. Very cool.

Teyla fic from Shunda! It's a small little culture sharing thing, in which Teyla learns of the ways Earth's, or rather North America's, probably, black women style their hair. And decides whether this is a ritual she's going to adopt into her regular routine. Love sugargroupie's OC (if she's not an OC, I'm going to kick myself for not noticing her before, though I can't actually remember the last time I watched Atlantis.) Love her Teyla's voice, as always. Short, pithy, wonderful. Temporary Vanity. G rated, worksafe, Teyla.

I posted a finalefic, in case you missed it. If you've now seen the finale and are ready for a little Teal'cy goodness, go ahead and meander over to Five Things Teal'c Learned (cut for spoilery reference in the title) but Will Never Speak Of. jenlev has said, and I seriously agree, that there is a story in Teal'c needing the time of the finale to get some distance from being Teal'c, First Prime of Apophis. 10 years with SG-1 clearly hasn't been enough, and I maintain that there are more stories in him just waiting to be told.

The remix editing continues on apace, with lovely comments from betas rolling in. I'm making myself reciprocate beta before looking at the latest comments, though, as it's just bad karma to take and take without giving back.

And I hooked my laptop up at work, in case you didn't notice. Strictly rationing the LJ time to breaks, though. Yes.

OH, one more thing: I'm back from a work trip and I can report that Miranda July's No One Belongs Here More Than You (link to independent bookseller Powell's Books, which is fantastic too and recommended--also see the links on the right to the eBook version for downloading) is a marvelous, quirky set of stories with masterful character voices. I am not kidding. They're erotic and they're full of subtle insight and wonderful friendships and people with strange relationships with those around them and I highly recommend. It was my first birthday present from my brother and I rationed the stories for different legs of the plane flights I was taking. July also has a charming website for the book over, um, here:noonebelongsheremorethanyou.com, and she apparently turned a lot of heads with a script she wrote and starred in at Sundance so... I don't know what that means, but I really enjoyed the book.

The only one I read (for lack of time) is the one you wrote.

I LOVE it. Love and love. It kept me company in the back of a cab as I raced uptown home from work today, a little bit buzzed (long story) and having JUST seen the SG-1 finale finale. Oh Teal'c.

You're a genius and I thank you for sharing that fic.

You are adorable and I love the image of you listing slightly in the back of a cab and reading my story. HEE!

Glad you liked it. Thrilled, even. What nice feedback.

Oh Teal'c indeed.

Also? A little girl with straight black hair and a long ballerina tutu just zipped by on a skateboard. I give her maybe five, six years old? This is my world. It's just mind-boggling, isn't it?

[alizarin-nyc.livejournal.com]

I do some of my best reading while listing in the back of cabs. Hrm. Perhaps this is not necessarily a good thing, but I take my quiet moments where I can get them.

Tutus and skateboards go well together.

thank you so much for this rec. i'm very glad to know the AU is working for you. it's quite run away with me, and i so didn't expect that. i expected it to be one-off like the Barbary Pirates story. so yeah. I'm enjoying it too and i'm glad others are as well.

i have to write my J/D ficathon story next and then i'll be getting back to it; no worries. thanks again for the generous rec.

[destina.livejournal.com]

That is possibly the loveliest rec anyone has ever given anything I wrote. And I happen to be extremely fond of that story, so. *hugs you!* Thank you so much. :D

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

I'm incredibly tardy getting around to saying this, but you are very welcome, m'dear.

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

Hee! Yay! You are most welcome. I was a little surprised how fond I became of that story, but I still think about it sometimes. *hugs you back*

I should read more Supernatural.
