REC: FF SGA, The Hobbit

[thady]

1 x SGA [gen] (an re-read, written early in canon. for me the best stories can always been read again.),
1 x The Hobbit [Bilbo/Thorin] (love a Bilbo who is not a "fainting maiden". why do so many writers try to make him weepy?)

• SGA: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, by in_wintertime.
  
  Stargate: Atlantis | Gen; Aiden Ford, Rodney McKay | PG-13 | ~ 2,990 words
  
  "He had never thought about running into McKay crouched over a dying Wraith, sweat smelling sour and enzyme-bitter."
  
  -- > There is very little Ford-centered fic out there, and this one is a little gem. It plays with the scenario of McKay getting addicted to the Wraith enzyme. From then Ford and McKay are always on the run, seeking new enzyme and fleeing from the people of Atlantis.
  Very tersely written, sparse and intense this story shows a realistic might-have-been with great characterization of both Ford and McKay.

• Hobbit: The Naming of Hobbits, by Margo_Kim.
  
  The Hobbit (Movies) | Bilbo Baggins/Thorin Oakenshield, Bilbo Baggins & Thorin Oakenshield | PG | ~ 9,800 words
  
  There's a certain point where you can no longer ask someone what their name is. Thorin isn't sure exactly when that point is, but he knows that it's probably some time before the person in question saves your life. On the far side of the Misty Mountains, Thorin realizes that he never quite caught the first part of Mr. Baggins' name, and he finds that it's astonishingly harder to learn than he would have thought. Fili, Kili, and Dwalin are no help whatsoever.
  
  -- > This is hilarious. Also love little-shit!Bilbo. Also the relationship can be read as romantic friendship.
