fic recs (SGA, Back to the Future)
Yuletide rec:
Fearful Symmetry by Anonymous (fandom: Back to the Future)
gen; Marty McFly, Emmett Brown; 4,839 words
Saw this rec'd by Friendshipper and enjoyed it muchly. I loved the movie (Time travel! 'nuff said) and this story has got a good handle one the whole time travel (pseudo)science. It makes the whacky physics of the movie actually appear more plausible. And I really like where she went with Marty's character.
I haven't even got around to writing all the sga_santa recs. And I got two must-rec Big Bangs. *flails* Okay, for starters:
More SGA Santa Fic Wot I Liked:
Never Quite What You Expect by propinquitine
John/Rodney, Teyla, Ronon; PG; ~7400
Summary: The problem with most of the ways it could happen is that the scenarios aren't nearly awkward enough.
Author's Notes: "I threw a number of monanotlisa's requests at the wall, and "twisted cliches", "banter", and "humor" stuck the fastest. Hope you enjoy it!"
Twisted cliches, check. Banter, check. Humor, check check. Mixed together with great result. :) (Plus, it's only a side detail in the story, but I'm loving this fic so much more for getting Jennifer right and not buying into certain fanon cliches.)
Villa Triste
Gen, slightly McKay/Keller; R for violence and torture; 2800 words
Summary: McKay is captured and held for ransom.
Sparesly yet effectively written. Fic focussing on torture is generally not my thing, but this one worked for me.
Are You Naked Under That Thing?
Gen; John, Rodney; h/c; 1,300 words
Rating: PG
Summary: "I'm here because I received a phone call at midnight from Jennifer, who, by the way, works at the damn hospital where they'd taken you, telling me that you'd been seriously hurt, so I get halfway to the hospital when she calls and tells me you'd checked yourself out. And here you are, at home, in your..." He frowned. "Are you naked under that thing?"
I like the idea that years from now they will still be friends who care about each other, relationship breakups notwithstanding.
