I've gone through my inbox and am officially past the "L's" Hooray! (Yes, it's taken me this long to get past the "L's"....-_-)

That's all for this entry. I'd post more, but I don't want to bump Link's cute-sexy visage down the page any more than I have to. (Man, those Weylins are heart-meltingly adorable, aren't they?)

I have been re-watching the show lately and made a few icons to share.

Dear Storyfinders,

There are two McShep stories out there, I read them about a month ago, but I don't remember the authors, so I cannot find them again. Please, help!

1.: Au. McKay is taking care of Madison since Jeannie got a job in Kenya, working on a scientific project. Madison is four and she has tantrums, so Rodney has to take her to Teyla's "Discover your Inner Power!" course on Saturdays, where they meet Jona Sheppard. Friendship and love ensues.

2.: The team is on an other (friendly) planet, where McKay accidentally becomes about 20 years younger. The natives assure them that it's temporary, but Rodney is quite suprised because of this whole new world (Atlantis). Based on his sci-fi experiences he keeps asking John if things really happened (will happen) in the "future": (two funny things I remember:)

- are the marines cyborgically enhanced?

and a discussion (it went something like that):

Rodney: - Has the countries of the Earth already became united under one government just like in Star Trek?
John: - It's 2008.
Rodney: - So?
John: - So no.

I hope someone recognizes them, and knows the route!

Thnx, Ari

 It was just posted in the last 3-4 months.  John keeps getting sick every time the Stargate goes off.  So he is sent back to earth and is posted to Afghanistan again.

Stargate Atlantis will be ending after season 5 concludes, but has been approved for one two hour movie. It will be straight to DVD like the SG-1 movies. More information can be found here.

Please keep all discussion of this topic to the comments of this post

Okay, everybody! I have faith in you. I know you can do this. You are awesome and fantastic and I have complete confidence in your story-finding abilities.

SO.

Ego-stroking time done! Here's the fic I'm looking for.

The fic revolves around the lifting of DADT, and it's told in a sort of non-linear style. It starts in the present, with John finding out about the change in regs, but then it flashes back periodically to important points in John and Rodney's relationship. In the present, after they find out about the lifting of the regs, John and Rodney's relationship becomes much closer and more intimate then it had been in the past (as shown in the flashbacks). John and Rodney go to Elizabeth to become each other's beneficiaries, etc., and Rodney notes that they're one piece of paper away from marriage, which causes John to freak out a little. I remember a lot of little things, like Caldwell giving John a bottle of Gray Goose, and the scientists wearing rainbow jewellery, and Rodney chewing out the entire mess hall and telling people that if they were going to hate somebody, they should hate the Wraith.

Again, I have total confidence in you all! Aaaaaaaaand~ GO!

ETA: Found! Link in comments.

*****

Just a reminder, gang, my art show reception is this Friday, from 6-8, at the Jordan Arts Center in Cary. (Harrison & Maynard, under the water tower.)

See original art in person! See the artist looking frazzled and silently wondering whether she will get all her illustrations done on time! Free cheese!

Another of LaCroix's Nightcrawler soliloquies. NB: Another creepy one, folks. Okay? You're warned.

Based off prompts from devohoneybee: ash, iron, conclave, covenant, melee, an image of moonlit branches

Rated: PG. I'll add it to the Lares & Penates section of my site tomorrow.

( Iron & Ash )

And now back to work on the HL/SG1 fic -- 7+ pages, 3500 words so far, and damn near the emotional opposite to this.

I'm posting both of these together because they go together.
And this is dedicated to Vesca... uh cuz. Hope you like them babe.


Title: Rejection
Rating: PG 13
Summary: Iruka was the one being rejected so why did Kakashi feel like it was it was him.
Pairing: KakaIru (sort of)
Disclaimer: Not unless Kishi keels over and leaves it to us fans. ;p

( Rejection )

Title: Flowers
Pairing: KakaIru (sorta)
Summary: An apology of sorts
Disclaimer: Characters are still Kishi's

( Flowers )

Someone does a sneaky and Rodney becomes addicted to a certain kind of flower and has to drink a tea made from the flower. And John has to be the one to give it to him. As a side note, Teyla's father did the same thing to her mother in order to keep Teyla's mom with him.

Sorry for the fuzzy details.

FOUND! by the amazingly fast crooked_halo8. Link in comments.

Title: Test
Pairing: None characters - Sandaime, Kakashi
Summary: There was always a 'but.'
Disclaimer: Still not mine.

(wasn't sure if this was allowed since Iruka isn't involved but well he might be later so... *shrugs* it depends on if I can get it where I want it. This could be considered a prequel to Rejection and Flowers...)

( Test )

 Can anybody help me find a mcshep story centered aroudn Duet?  McKay and Cadman share Cadman's body, but Cadman ends up fading away.  McKay keeps her body and its eventually McShep?

Genked from snotblossom..... I LIKE this one!

So, ysabet, your LiveJournal reveals...

You are... 18% unique (blame, for example, your interest in satoshi traumatizing krad) and 5% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy manga). When it comes to friends you are popular. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are wary of trusting strangers. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is intellectual.

Your overall weirdness is: 68

(The average level of weirdness is: 27.
You are weirder than 96% of other LJers.)

Hi everyone,

For the life of me, I can't remember the name of this fic. I do remember that it eventually becomes McShep and that Alantis is threatened by - and I swear I'm not making this up - flying pigs.

Please help me find it because I remember finding this one very funny and I could use funny right now.

1. Jesus fuck, I have to move in ten days, and I don't even know to where yet. I'm not panicking, precisely. Just about 100% sure that it isn't going to work out, that the people I'm currently waiting to hear back from will blow me off, and I won't be able to find other opportunities because I suck at this and am a general failure at housing stuff, and I'll have to leave illuminaut's and I'll be homeless again. Because that's how my life works.

2. Which is triggered by the moving and cleaning panic because I have to pack most of my stuff up this weekend, because somebody else needs to stay in the guest room. I...settled here. I got too comfortable, forgot it wasn't home. I forgot it was temporary, because my brain simply couldn't bear the thought that I'd be moving again in a month on top of everything else--moved in here just after E. dumped me. Which is hardly an excuse for settling in when I shouldn't have. But. It's why.

3. Nothing could have prepared me for moving my box of magic/altar gear; I nearly started crying just looking at it. The same damn box I packed back in Somerville, when I was first thrown it; it was the first thing I packed, and so carefully. The same box I left at E.'s when I was homeless, kept wishing I could use it more when I was suddenly drawn, so intensely, into magic. Unpacked it in Medford, in a temporary room that proved even more temporary than I thought. Packed it back up again to store at E.'s. Had to go get it when he dumped me. And I haven't touched it since. What's the use? I look at it, it's like any other box of odds and ends. Cryptic and dead.

4. Packed away my battered pocket paperback of the Book of the Law. Bought it in Westborough, when visiting family. It rode around in my pocket for weeks; I'd read it on the bus to work, when I was hurt, or lonely, or tired. It was--solace. I'm not sure that word had much meaning to me until then. And then, tonight, I found it at the bottom of the piles of stuff on my bedside table. There was that comfortable familiarity of having it in my hands; I opened it, read the first few verses, and. Cryptic, frightening, meaningless.

5. Because I'm not strong enough to keep going, in the magic, without someone to share it with. Because I'm not strong enough to keep looking for what is necessary when I have a warm bed and four walls and AC. Because I've managed to pretty much fritter away the summer. Because no matter how good I am, it'll never be good enough.

6. I have to move in ten days. See you all from the gutter, because I'm completely fucking incapable of taking care of myself.

What would the legal/medical results be of testing positive for PCP? The character is in the hospital after fainting once, then panicking when she regained consciousness in the hospital, then fainting again with the protagonist (the only doctor there she will allow near her). The PCP is only a false positive from taking ketamine (though at first it explains a lot of her eratic behavior), but I don't know what would happen to her before they figure that out. Would the police become involved, or not since she isn't actually in possession of any drugs.

While browsing through a scrapbook from the collection of the late Lily Fulford, which now belongs to my mate, I came across a piece of fandom history.

In days of yore...

Alright, Anime Evolution.
I AM OFF TO CONQUER CANADA
WISH ME LUCK
and that this cold is not going to kill me.
I'll be back in a week.

Most mornings, for a while now, I go to Salem station. Car or foot, depending upon how my legs are doing. I usually get there early enough to see the 7:29 express come in, but I don't get on; it's usually standing room only. I wait for the 7:34 local, where I always get a seat, and usually with nobody immediately beside me.

Suits my usual habit of writing porn on the train, no?

So I see two trains pull in, as I'm standing on the platform, level with the tracks. One pull out.

This morning, I didn't have to close my eyes as they went by.

This morning, I could watch them like I used to, back when I was commuting by train years ago. Watch the pistons going, feel the roar of the wind, watch the engine chugging by. With that sort of childlike glee. Look, daddy, it's a train!

This morning, I could see the wheels on the tracks without wanting to duck under them.

Between trains, I turned and looked around. It's a cool, crisp morning, breezy, more like Maine than Massachusetts. The inlet nearby was at low tide, and I could catch the smell of saltwater and mudflats, and wonder if there would be clams bubbling the damp sand if I went over. There was a crane working. The big flag on the low flagpole. A playground, right there by the inlet, that I'd never noticed before, with a yellow curly slide. Red and blue caps on the jungle gym.

The 7:34 came in, and the little handful of leftover commuters clambered on.

And we just passed some of the reedy swamp off the tracks in Salem, and there were two swans in the inlet. And then the little white egrets in the salt marsh near Point of Pines.

I think I'm getting a little better.

Or maybe this is just a good morning. I go up and down, some. Monday night was bad, almost like I wasn't on the meds. This morning is good. Etcetera. But.

I could watch the trains.

I came home and went expectantly to my super's door. I knocked, hoping to see his smiling face, waiting to receive my mystery box of chocolates. What with this and that, it's been about a month since I ordered it. I was happy to finally be getting it. Did I mention it was delivered Saturday, while I was away, and they don't automatically redeliver? I called and told them to deliver it today and leave it with my super. They said "okay, I'll make a note of that" and gave me my confirmation number. Today: I got a note stuffed in the seam of my door saying "second attempt!" That is totally not cool.

I called them, told them of my displeasure, and gave them my confirmation number. The young man told me "Well, I can see how they might not have understood based on the note that was left." What the hell is difficult about "LEAVE WITH THE SUPER"?!? What message was written? This time, the guy noted that the super is in the building, in the basement, the same door where the actual mail is delivered. This is not a mysterious process, leaving something with the super. It's done all the freakin' time. I've had it done for me before. Sheesh.

I'm not even going to devour all the chocolates at once; I see having maybe one or two every couple nights. I'm good like that. Tomorrow, tomorrow. I will wait. I don't know about patience.

Here are the Link and Zelda BJD costumes I made (that I wanted to finish in time for Kakkoicon, although I was only able to get Link's outfit done:)





Sorry about the big pics, but it's the only way to see any detail. (You can see the rest in this folder here:)

http://amethyst-angel.com/dollpics/Augustgarden/

And of course, I stuck em all into a slideshow and set it to music:




This took a loooooong time to do and I only got some proper pictures of it taken yesterday. Would have like to have made more BJD cosplays this summer but it's my busiest time and..well...priorities... I also would have liked to have gotten back into the SCA, (www.sca.org) but again, one needs time for that sort of thing. Sigh...
