fic recs (SGA, Torchwood)
Squee! siriaeve wrote me a story with Jennifer, Sam and Rodney: no universal world
mostly gen (with background Jennifer/Rodney); warning: not a light and fluffy story; 8100 words
Between the average success rate of the gate teams, and the skill the scientists had for finding new and interesting ways to blow up large chunks of the city, Jennifer spent most of her time cooped up inside the infirmary.
This is a tense and compelling scenario. I crave stories like this, that throw these three characters together and explore what makes them tick. And I love how Jennifer's and Rodney's relationship is portrayed in the negative spaces, for lack of a better word.
and on a lighter note, also by siriaeve:
Greater Love Hath No Man for his Friends
gen; John Sheppard; ~1400 words
His eyes widened with horror when he got there, though. It wasn't just a section-it was a whole aisle, both sides of it lined with packages in various shades of purple and green and blue and pink. He looked down at the list, but Teyla's neat handwriting didn't offer him any guidance beyond sanitary pads and tampons, several packets. What good was that to him, when there were all these different options? There were different colours and sizes and some of them apparently had wings; John didn't want to know, because he had a sense nothing good could come of asking why sanitary pads needed to be aerodynamic.

Summary: Never again
Signups for the fourth Rodney/Teyla thing-a-thon close on the 14th. Come join, the more the merrier! (This year it's not just ship but friendshippy gen too, for those so inclined!)
