SGA rec and babbling
First, a flailingly fangirly rec: Clear Daylight, by nym777 (SGA John/Rodney NC-17)
I have no words for how gorgeous that is. The narrative voice is stunning, lyrical and poetic and full of unexpected connections and startling insights and gems of thought processes that are so perfect for the characters. She hits emotional notes of incredible complexity and intensity with an amazing, subtle touch. Most of all, though, there is this incredible sense of watching the birth of something so very fragile- this incredibly intimate connection between two men who are both so very bad at intimacy or connection, are simply too broken to possibly nurture this thing between them. The understated beauty and simplicity and fragility and emotional richness of the understanding they reach is just breathtaking.
I want to write like that when I grow up.
(Side note: I find myself drawn to Jack/Daniel angst because I am stunned by how inevitable and unshakable their bond seems to me; by how they are so inexorably tied together that absolutely no level of horribleness can possibly destroy that. And on the flip side, I am incredibly drawn to John/Rodney romance because of how beautifully unlikely and fragile and astonishing any possible connection between them seems to be. This is another way in which I love the intersections and overlaps and contrasts between these two pairings. I am truly in love with them as a pair of mirrors and parallels and complements, in a way I would never be for one of them alone. Even if Jack/Daniel does sort of have my heart and my muse right now)

I think possibly I have written enough to bother making an index sticky post. Y/N? Hmm. I suspect that this thought is just another way of procrastinating my damn spn_nostalgia.
I haven't worked out in two weeks, and this week isn't looking good either. Obviously, of my four Major Life Goals right now (teaching, real estate, writing, and working out) I can only keep on three. Prioritization sucks.
I am buying a couple of tshirts (a SPN shirt, because I still don't own one, an "I'm with Genius" Rodney McKay shirt. I still haven't picked an SG1 shirt. Hmm. Help?). Anyway, I always do a general check of fanfic/slash shirts, just because they amuse me. I have never actually bought one, because wearing "if you don't get it, I'm not going to tell you" sort of joke tshirts is a bit smarmy. But I remember seeing somebody with this one at Wincon last year, and I think it avoids that problem. Hmm.
Of course, what I REALLY want is the one that says "I like my MEN like I like my SLASH: filthy, depraved, and spread all over my desk," but I would never wear it anywhere. *tragic sigh*
