An old school Stargate Atlantis rec this week, via BlueMeridian! (I was so startled to see a livejournal page, and then startled all over again when I started thinking about how much fandom has changed over the last nine years.) From 2008: Or Something Like It, by semivowel (Basically, John gets truth-serumed, and it takes […]
Apparently I’m in a very non-committal space right now, because I keep reading things and not bookmarking them. So I went checking back to see if I’d ever recced to dwell is to die, by FeoplePeel Quill’s Guardians are a group of reformed criminals at best; save the literal empath they’ve recently outfitted themselves with, […]
*Andrea, this is totally the fic I was talking about last weekend, with the Canadian bacon and being on hold on the phone! (It took some determined sifting through of my past posts, given that those aren’t exactly super clear search terms, but now, success!) Thicker Than Water, by Julad The one where John and […]
Many thanks to bluemeridian, who posted a bookmark for this series right as I’d decided I wasn’t going to be able to find it! Series: Retrograde, by LtLJ The bit I remembered was from Least Resistance, at breakfast time (no surprise there): “Good morning, this is Radio Free Atlantis with your community announcements. It’s day […]
I have been greatly enjoying reading through the fic tag at skoosiepants’ tumblr. (Which made me think, ‘don’t I recognize that name?’) SGA flashback! Once Upon a Furry Octopus, by skoosiepants “Okay,” Rodney narrowed his eyes at him, “I think we’re missing something important about the pens.”
No list of memorable stories for me would be complete without Fat My Dust, by Speranza. I don’t know what it is about it, exactly, except that I’ve been both those kids, and I remember being so amazed when I first read the fic that someone had put those feelings down in words. And of […]
So many Speranza stories are awesome candidates for memorable quote Monday, but this one has TWO parts that I actually remembered surprisingly well, so I went with it. Fic: Kid A, by Speranza Quote #1 “Look, he’ll break it off.” Quote #2 (Do you need to warn about spoilers for a story from 2006? Anyway, […]
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long on this one. From the series Bell Curve, by rageprufrock “Things like this never happen when I kept office hours, Rodney! I never accidentally get a baby, Rodney!” –Exponential Curves, or, Chance This series is like the double whammy of quotable quotes, since it’s also the source […]
I really wanted this week to be: “I’m being promoted to Atlantis?” “Sure, let’s call it that.” Which I thought was from the story “Where Eagles Dare (We’ll Be Playing Poker A Hundred Miles In The Opposite Direction)” but the internet informs me was actually from “A Team is Borne.” (Both stories by 01100100, aka […]
Lots of Stargate Atlantis quotes showing up in these Monday posts! (A memorable fandom for many reasons!) HOW I REMEMBERED IT: “Things like this never happen when I hold office hours, Rodney! I never accidentally get a baby!” ACTUAL QUOTE: “Things like this never happen when I kept office hours, Rodney! I never accidentally get […]
