I be home! And SGA rulez!

My mother-in-law hurt her back, so I got to come home early! Whoooo! Not for the injury but for the sleeping in my own bed, which I have sorely missed. Also my husband and my reliable internet access. Also beer. LOL

Guess what was waiting on me? The first two discs of SGA season one. My sister in law got me Netflix for a few months for my birthday and I've decided to use it for the good of Atlantis. LOL Let me say, I am impressed with the show. We watched the whole first disc tonight and I liked it a lot. Sheppard rocks! And so does McKay and also Dr. Weir and Rainbow BlahBlah whose name in RL and also the show are blanking on me. LOL What gets me the most is how spot on the humor is, even in these inaugural episodes; there's some good writing going on here. (I mean, much as I love, say, ST: TNG, SGA is far superior in its first episodes) I find all the characters compelling and interesting; Sheppard and Weir's fish out of water narrative is particularly interesting and anything that can kill Robert Patrick is obviously seriously bad ass and not of the good. *g*

Upcoming: birthday haul post and also SPN recs!

Update: I wrote a shit ton on "Mystery of Proud Typewriter" at my mama's. I guess that repressive environment is just conducive to porn. Ahhhaaahahhaa.

SPN fic recs

It Doesn't Mean You Can Explain the Ocean by rageprufrock This is a gorgeous, gorgeous fic. It's long and dense; reading it is very much like unwrapping layer after layer of delicate tissue paper. It's a read of discovery. You must read carefully, because what the author means to say here is very subtly rendered; you will not be hit over the head with anything in this fic. Instead you must read for nuance; I don't think you'll be disappointed. astolat has written a sequel, Unasked (Sam/Dean, Adult) which is every bit as lovely as the first. The style is, of course, different. Unasked is more direct, but the two styles complement each other very nicely I think.

Tactile Kinesthetic" by moveablehistory Sam/Dean Adult This is Wincest through the lens of Fight Club; it is raw and visceral and hot as holy hell.

Don’t They Know? (It’s the End of the World) by 1ightning Sam/Dean Adult This fic is a riff on "Groundhog Day," with Dean living out the same day over and over again. I am a huge fan of this writer; I've yet to read any of hir work that I didn't find entertaining. Usually, I'm struck by her gift for the funny, but this. Oh, it hit me in my gut, and it hurt. This is good, y'all, real good.

For My Next Trick by nutkin Sam/Dean Adult This author has a real gift for writing teenaged Winchesters; the story is set in Sam's eighteenth year, when everything is about to change and nutkin really captures the emotional turmoil of that time. Fits wonderfully into canon.
