starved of oxygen

[unamaga]

As usual, I should be doing something else right now, like maybe sleeping or writing papers or finishing the track au (which is due in two weeks, ahaha OH GOD). Instead, I am playing around in Photoshop. Rock.

And, well, since I'm here: some completely worksafe recs.

Check One by rain_dances (McKay/Sheppard, PG)
Pretty much the most darling thing I have ever read. I am not ashamed to admit I teared up.
Will you marry me?
[ ] Yes
[ ] No

They Physicist Bride by queenzulu (McKay/Sheppard, PG)
Now Rodney was the smartest person in the whole galaxy--on a good day, it was more like two--but he had no idea that when the flyboy said, "Whatever you say, Rodney," what he really meant was, "I love you."

The Holiday Season by out_there (McKay/Sheppard, PG)
He tells the bird that, and the bird gambols to a stop. It turns its head quickly, swinging John's body one way and then the other and then stops, with its head tilted. As a kid, John had watched chickens do that (the head tilt and freeze thing) and had wondered what they were listening to. Now he wonders if the worms were insulting them.

Slow and Steady by kellifer_fic (McKay/Sheppard)
This is possibly one of my favorite sweet fics in the SGA fandom. It reminds me so, so much of reading J2, although I couldn't tell you why. *happy sigh*
It was a tiny thing, only lasting a second and had it been anyone else, Rodney wouldn’t even have registered it, but the first time Sheppard touched him of his own volition, Rodney had to squash the urge to do a victory dance.
