Lovely is one of my favourite crossovers ever. Martha also writes some really skookum SGA fic, as well as being by far my favourite TS author ever, and I'm crazy huge into that fandom.
I've reread "Lovely" a few times, and always have to take a break about three-quarters of the way though to sniffle madly. It just sort of knocks me over. I'll have to check out the rest of her (?-I presume) fics, now, though.
I am a loser at media fandom, because I came in too late to catch TS, and whatever its merits as a show, it has an awesome fandom which I've just never really gotten into. Help me see the light, here?
Go read her fics on that site, especially "Ordeal" and "Snake Oil" Man can that woman write horror! Then check out her stuff over at Wraith Bait, especially "Moka."
Whee, I am really excited, now. So much fic, and it's all so long! I know what I'll be doing this weekend.
TS seems to be problematic fandom, for a lot of reasons. There's a pervasive anti-feminine feel, which is sort of endemic in older slash, I think (maybe? that's a somewhat mean generalization, self.) But there are some really excellent stories, and just reading the fanfiction, and ignoring the fandom otherwise is heartless, but it seems to work. Unless there's a different qualm you have...

If you're looking for good TS stuff (I got into this show through fandom first and reruns later), try reading Jael Lyn (Especially "Outside These Walls, Saoirse (Especially "Controlled Glide"), T. Verano (Especially "New").
I have a love hate relationship with this fandom. About 75% of the time, it really pisses me the fuck off on a number of levels., but the rest is golden.
