May Round-Up

[abyssinia4077]

Wow, May passed really fast and fannish-wise seemed mostly dominated by the sd_ficathon (I hear some of the S/J crazies are freaking out about the sudden influx of S/D fic?). That and fandom freaking out about stuff rather than writing.

Stories I recced:

For May I got to rec both Jack O'Neill and Original Character over at stargateficrec.

Daniel nodded thoughtfully and, coffee forgotten, headed for the stairs. The bathroom door was cracked open, warm steam coming out from the crack and he pushed it open to find Sam standing in a towel, squinting at the mirror. "Hey you," he said, wrapping his arms around her and resting his head on the damp skin of her shoulder. "Missed you."

Sam smiled at him in the mirror. "I think I'm getting grey hair," she muttered, poking along the part on top of her head. "And you didn't miss me, you missed having someone else to help you run interference from the Hyena Squad."

"Maybe a little," he admitted, kissing along the side of her neck. "Speaking of which," he muttered, slowly walking her to their bedroom. "Jack's passed out on the sofa, Vala and Cam are completely occupied by some very confusing muffins, and Teal'c has taken the Ben kite-flying."

"Oh, really?" she smiled against his mouth as she walked backwards until her knees hit the bed. He lay her down and crawled over her, wrapping his hands through the not-at-all-grey-hair. "And did you have something in mind."

"Maybe," he muttered, leaning down to kiss her. "I could use some sleep." He grinned as she swatted him, pushing him over until she was above him and she could gain easy access to the buttons on his shirt.

Just when she'd finally gotten it off there was a loud crash below and Daniel jumped up, banging his forehead into hers. "Ouch! What now?"

"I don't know!" She said, flopping back down onto the bed next to him. "Do you think if we're really quiet..."

"But I wanted to try flying!" The bellowing voice of a six-year-old told her otherwise.

"The kite is not large enough to carry a child," Teal'c's voice calmly explained.

"But mom told me all about hang-gliding! I wanna try it!"

"Oh, god," Sam said, grabbing a pillow and putting it over her head.

"This one's you," Daniel told her, digging an elbow into her ribs.

By the time they got downstairs Cam and Vala had managed to start the muffins on fire, setting off the smoke alarm, Jack was promising to take Ben flying the upcoming weekend and Teal'c was sitting in the corner of the room, deftly repairing a torn kite.

"Well, they haven't actually burned the house down," Daniel muttered.

"Yet," Sam replied.

AWWW! It's so adorable I have to use multiple exclamation marks!!!

Yes yes yes to Jack and the reading of Doctor Seuss, and Ben correcting the pronunciations and the Seuss science, and everyone just turning up at Sam and Daniel's place, and Sam and Daniel trying to find a moment to themselves, and Teal'c buying a kite, and... *squees in a very high-pitched manner*

Thank you so much for starting this. It's way, way too much fun to play with. It's like...the happy place in between the angst and the just-barely-saving-the-world.

(can you imagine when the kid is old enough to hear stories? "...so, you dad ascended a couple of times..."

This entire thread is so. damn. cute.

I have a deep and semi-secret love for future-kid!fic. Eeee! This is so sweet.

[abyssinia4077]

Isn't it? *basks in cuteness*

future-kid!fic done not-creepy is lots of fun. After everything they've all gone through, it's really nice to be able to imagine them having happy, normal-ish lives, you know?
