SGA: Ordinary Life
While I am in a sudden frenzy of posting:
cesperanza already posted this, but while I was getting the website updated with the new drabbles, I also put up our collaboration from the awesome Surfacing two-volume zine, and I wanted to add a link here. :D

"So, uh," Wharton said, with a little nervous cough. "You're not so much his mathematician as you are his—mathematician."
And as if this needs repeating,
stormheller and
tovalentin make some seriously amazing zines. ♥
therienne has managed to put together links to almost all the stories and art, and you can still order copies of the zines. They are expensive, but well worth it, even if you have read everything online. :D

Thank you kindly!

There's just something about these boys being all quasi-domestic and twitchy and *needy* and then, of course, hot soldier action, wheeeee!
Love it.
:)
With the helicopter, I don't actually remember where I learned that if the back rotor goes the helicopter goes whizzing around and boom, but I picked it up somewhere, and then I think we got the details of that particular helicopter's construction with google. And for physics babble, I generally browse around wikipedia pages until I understand vaguely enough to be dangerous and then extrapolate a bit from there. *g*
possibly the most hilarious string of 4 words EVER. I'm not even sure why, it just made me crack the fuck up. And obviously the consummate description of Shep's hair. I'm pretty sure it has its own personal assistant.
I'm so glad to see a couple of new Stargate Atlantis stories from you. I've worn grooves in all the others. And, hey, it's been at least a week since the most recent Supernatural. I'm not too proud to beg.
I like the balance of character, action, and hothot sex in all your stuff. And the characterisations, my god! O'Neill's insistence that they would have been safe had they only gone fishing....perfect.
This is great!
And Thanks for writing and sharing it!!
Please write more
Transcendental was really cool, too. Rodney being the logical, reasonable, scientific leader and prison cell sex *yeah* Double *yeah* for him not letting John out! Why did Elizabeth have to come back? *whine*
Also loved lifetime event. I´m so into good novel-length stories. Plot and sex without Rodney or John being a Mary-Sue-character ;) ;) ;)
Guh
That's just mean. Frankly, I'm surprised Rodney was able to remain standing, let alone take John down like a rodeo calf, which was my other favorite line of all tie.
You all did a great job with this story, and either one of you can travel with me anytime.
GREAT!
I loved the Rodney was breathing noisily next to him, but that made it seem like any other night spent on a foreign planet, so drunk, so sad, and so very true. Although we never see Rodney being courted by the MI complex on the show, it's certainly plausible. I liked the way John really got into that whole gigilo thing, the many shaded meaning of "mathematician", and John's repeated wish that he'd brought a gun. The plot kept me hopping, and I was intrigued by John's response on seeing his father's old friend. Thanks for writing it!
Yes, me nerd...I know, but just wanted to let you know it was sooo great reading these two stories so far. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading them.

"I wouldn't do anything with—It was hyperbole. Okay, fine: you could have a bridge tournament."
This whole thing is like the perfect Bond movie! Thank you thank you thank you.
and that line above... well, if I were to quote everything I loved about the story, it would be at least 20,000 words, but that line... Bwahahaha, I think I may have sprained something ;)
The setting-lush, the musings-IC and very gratifying, the "supporting cast" - interesting, believable, and not distracting..this is actual literary wonderfulness. The voices - perfect. Even O'neill's voice was spot on, not bad for a guest appearance! I haven't even mentioned the sear-me-where-I-stand hotness!
This must be recced (for the umpteenth time, I'm sure) Right Now. (ok with you?)
And, um, I downloaded the audiobook, because one must always have something sensational to read (or at least listen to) on the train, and, well. Whoever read the first section of it, I've sort of fallen in love with their voice. Which isn't actually the creepiest thing I've said to a total stranger, but it's in the top three.
*hides before she makes an even bigger fool of herself*
"I—no!" Rodney was looking nervous and guilty. "Not exactly. I mean, it was a long time ago, and it didn't exactly work out."
See, this exchange right here renders me speechless with laughter every single time I read this story (which is kind of a lot when I need cheering up.)
I really think one of you girls needs to write the story of how it doesn't exactly work out with a hooker.
Pleeeeeez?

I must have read it like a dozen times or so. More please? Channiek
I'm still trying to come up with adequate thanks for your Merlin fic. :)
I started out with The Dark Side, from a rep on storyfinders (which is just adorable, BTW) and followed to your page.
Did I mention that I LOVED this story?
Ordinary Life
I love this story and want to thank you for writing it.
