Random, Recs (SGA, Merlin, FF, BtVS), and Reading
I remembered to call my mother yesterday! \o/
I could ramble on about other real-life things but, to be honest, they're boring me (especially the headache, ack). So! First, random to do list:
1. Pay bills (today)
2. Cushions -> Laundromat (I put this off from yesterday b/c Sat. was university graduation and I was avoiding town)
3. XHTML Validation
4. Tonight = 'patchy frost', ergo cover plants
5. Finish planting garden (this one's on tomorrow)
6. Download some long fic for reading next week while out of net range
7. Work on DW theme/style/whatever it is
8. See if Delicious Glue is working yet (fixed today, hopefully?)
9. Finish converting LJ Flist to Atom (versus RSS) in FeedDemon
Then, criminy. Anything as long as it's fannish and/or entertaining! Hmm. How about some recs?
.: Firefly/Buffy the Vampire Slayer Crossover :.
Serenity, Nevada | ChristinaK
PG-13 [41.355 words in 17 chapters]
A very good crossover! Oz is the only character making a significant appearance from Buffy, but the whole crew of Serenity is in on the act -- and mostly being drug into the supernatural bad guys thing with the greatest reluctance. Fantastic characterizations all around and a great story! (Some background canon pairings but mostly gen.)
.: Merlin - Sequels :.
Ten Weeks | shinetheway
NC-17 [6.750 words]
Sequel to Truth is a Whisper by
seperis
Honeymoon and Keepsake | rageprufrock
NC-17 Honeymoon [1.792 words] Keepsake [4.303 words]
Sequels to Drastically Redefining Protocol, also by rageprufrock
Annnnd, I just realized there's another that I'd missed: Throw-In [2.280 words], which I'll be reading very shortly. *g*
.: Stargate Atlantis :.
Rainbow Connection | perspi
PG-13 [1.200 words]
I have developed an undue bias against rainbows in any connection with fanfic, but I'll make an exception in this case as it applies to paintballs. John doesn't know when, exactly, guns became a turn-on. I'm not quite sure when guns became a turn-on either, John, but I'm thinking I'm right there with you.

Anne Higgins' Bonding Universe [Star Wars, Lots and Lots of Words]
Someone You Might Have Been | fleshflutter [SPN RPS, J2, NC-17, 39 parts - I'm up to chapter 13]
I'd add up the number of words but I don't think I can count that high. Plus, there's the issue of approximation, which makes me twitch (admittedly, twitching over said subject is rather silly, but there you go). Also, there's no Highlander up there and I'm craving some good Duncan/Methos -- anyone?
