SG1 Schmooplets

Look, I WARNED you guys! Remember that big list of things I wanted? Here they are.

Hell, they aren't even proofread. One involves curtains. Read at your own risk.


( Shopping for condo furnishings in DC )

( The one where Jack goes all out and gets down on one knee )

( The one where they hold a tiny little hush-hush ceremony with just SG1 that gets out of hand )

( The one where don't ask, don't tell is repealed and they are married practically before the ink is dry )

( The sex with lots of talking and lots of endearments and lots of 'I love you's. )

Oh my God, I feel SO MUCH better now. Except for the fact that my spn_nostalgia is now due in two days and I am still procrastinating it. *hangs head* But at least I think I am in a mental place for happy brotherly banter now. If I had tried to write it before these, it would have been Incest-induced Guilt Angst Of Doom.

SGA rec and babbling

First, a flailingly fangirly rec: Clear Daylight, by nym777 (SGA John/Rodney NC-17)

I have no words for how gorgeous that is. The narrative voice is stunning, lyrical and poetic and full of unexpected connections and startling insights and gems of thought processes that are so perfect for the characters. She hits emotional notes of incredible complexity and intensity with an amazing, subtle touch. Most of all, though, there is this incredible sense of watching the birth of something so very fragile- this incredibly intimate connection between two men who are both so very bad at intimacy or connection, are simply too broken to possibly nurture this thing between them. The understated beauty and simplicity and fragility and emotional richness of the understanding they reach is just breathtaking.

I want to write like that when I grow up.

(Side note: I find myself drawn to Jack/Daniel angst because I am stunned by how inevitable and unshakable their bond seems to me; by how they are so inexorably tied together that absolutely no level of horribleness can possibly destroy that. And on the flip side, I am incredibly drawn to John/Rodney romance because of how beautifully unlikely and fragile and astonishing any possible connection between them seems to be. This is another way in which I love the intersections and overlaps and contrasts between these two pairings. I am truly in love with them as a pair of mirrors and parallels and complements, in a way I would never be for one of them alone. Even if Jack/Daniel does sort of have my heart and my muse right now)
