Fic request and odd dream

[selenay]

I've been pretty much LJ-absent for the last few weeks, so have I missed any great fic? Not that I'm begging or anything...

But if any good Atlantis fic (John/Rodney, Teyla/Weir, Teyla/Kate...) has passed me by due to absence, feel free to point me towards it. And I definitely wouldn't object if someone has released a terrific novel-length fic *g* I feel the need to not do constructive, job hunt things tomorrow evening and sitting down with a good fic seems like the perfect way to relax after a bad week.

This thought was triggered by a particularly bizarre dream last night. I'm not usually one for reciting my dreams, but this one had some seriously...unusual moments.

For some reason, I was over in Canada and watching a new episode of Atlantis. I'm not sure what the plot was supposed to be, although I assume that it was humour. And I have a vague memory of slashy stuff, but no visuals. The bits that stood out were Weir cuddling Rodney a lot (and I mean cuddling, like a teddy bear, rather than groping, hugging or fondling) and the final, beyond-bizarre image.

Rodney performing a series of graceful backflips across the infirmary.

And here I haven't been giving Atlantis recs on my lj, thinking that none of my friends were much interested in the show! I don't know how long you've been out of touch, but here are somewhat recent John/Rodney stories. One from a new author I'd never seen before--a nice slow buildup to a first time. http://beadtific.livejournal.com/174585.html

I don't want to say too much about this one because it will give too much away. It's short, funny, and hot--and not what it appears when you see the subtitle. http://damerel.livejournal.com/28982.html?thread=239670

I'm not really a fan of short short stories, because they don't often have much to them. But this one has several layers and is very wonderful. http://panisdead.livejournal.com/105083.html

Another short one where the main character thinks nobody really loves him, and he is fortunately wrong. http://www.squidge.org/nightspring/heartfelt.html

Hth has a nice LONG story from the end of May. Oops, I just looked at it again--it's Rodney/Ronon! You might want to try it--she writes the best Ronon I've seen to date. http://hth.gatefiction.com/handsofyes.htm

I hope you enjoy the recs and that they're new to you.

Thank you! You should always feel free to discuss Atlantis fic - I'm absolutely interested in the show :-)) And I'll even be giving that Rodney/Ronon fic a try - it's not a pairing that I've really considered before, but if Hth can convince me on the pairing then it will definitely be worth a try :-))

And all of these are new to me, so thank you.

If you like Hth's story, she's doing a huge WIP with a John/Rodney, Rodney/Ronon, John/Ronon triangle. It's called Alpha Centauri. It's not at a very happy place right now and I'm not quite sure where she's headed with it. Neither is she, I think.

Very well written, a bit painful, and hopefully all will end well. But she's not guaranteeing it, so we'll see.

I'm glad all the other titles were new to you. Enjoy!
