fic, icons, and movies oh my!

This is unprecedented for eleven o'clock on a Saturday morning. I've already been up for a ridiculous number of hours, which is so very not like me, eaten pizza for breakfast (delicious and nutritious!) and fumbled my way through the first few hundred words of my happy fic. What's going on? I don't know. Possibly I've slipped into an alternate dimension. To combat the weirdness, I'm reposting a small comment ficlet written yesterday for [livejournal.com profile] melloniel, whose battle with her recliner was inspiring.

Untitled Chair Ficlet
McKay/Sheppard, R ~620 words


Rodney found the chair by accident. No, really.

The department store was vast and baffling, and the two of them had spent the better part of that morning and afternoon blindly stumbling from one section to another, tossing whisks and shower curtains into their overflowing cart and arguing over the shade of blue the area rug for the front room should be.

(Rodney was all for cerulean, but John had been dead set on cobalt, which had naturally led to the two of them smacking each other with rolled up bath mats. John had won that round by rapping Rodney's knuckles with a toilet brush, the dirty rotten cheater.)

He'd wandered away from John somewhere around the time John had gotten really involved in the football game playing on one of the store's flat screen televisions to find a place to sit, and stumbled across the furniture department entirely by accident.

He felt a little bit like Goldilocks as he sat down in the first one, and then the second and the third - they were all far too plush, and his spine had enough to bother it without some extra padding forcibly contorting him into a shape mostly closely resembling a Celtic knot. The fifth was disgustingly firm, somewhat akin to sitting on planks of wood instead of civilized furniture - the cushions were clearly just cloth and brick - and the sixth was just too horrible to look at for more than a minute and a half.

The seventh, though.

Visually, it was appealing, all dark red leather and brassy studs. It looked expensive and lived in, and it was buttery soft to the touch - almost sensual. Rodney could very easily see himself looking distinguished and wearing a silken bathrobe while sitting in it. Then he did sit, and all of the various knots he'd accumulated during the day released almost at the same time.

"Oh my god," he moaned, low and drawn out, and dropped his head back to let the top of the chair take its weight.

He wasn't sure how long he luxuriated in the heavenly comfort before John found him, but since the shopping cart had since been joined by a hand basket, which was itself almost filled to the brim with DVDs and electronics, Rodney figured at least half an hour. John set the basket next to the cart in the aisle and picked his way through the faux living room to Rodney's side.

"You look comfortable," he said dryly.

Rodney managed a half-hearted ehn sound and flapped one limp arm at him. John smirked and sunk down to his knees, one hand high on Rodney's thigh for balance, and, huh, Rodney wasn't so comfortable anymore. In fact, he was kind of -

"Positively pornographic," John murmured. His sly fingers slid up Rodney's inseam, thumb finding Rodney's fly and rubbing the zipper down against his cock.

Rodney said, "I, uh, that's."

John chuckled and curved his hand over Rodney's crotch, heel of his palm pressed to Rodney's balls, tips of his fingers at the trapped head of Rodney's cock near his right pocket. "That's what, buddy? Couldn't make that out."

"Hate," Rodney whimpered, shifting his hips up into that tease of pressure, and John laughed at him again, giving him one rough rub before pulling away entirely. "Hate," Rodney restated vehemently, if shakily, panting hard and only just pulling himself together enough to grab onto the basket's handles when John shoved it at him. Hot Fuzz toppled over the side and hit him square in the face, and he was still busy extracting himself from the tangled mess of arousal and DVDs when he heard John, sounding smug and dirty, say, "We'll take that one."

Annnd, here's a small bunch of icons, mostly of people making amusing or shocked faces. Because that's so how I roll. Twenty eight all together: eighteen John, four Rodney/David, four Teyla, one Elizabeth, one McShep.

In other news! I've decided to go on a movie binge this weekend, try to catch up on all the culture I missed growing up in the nineties. So far I've watched Singin' in the Rain and Who Framed Roger Rabbit - as, um, I'm sure you all noticed yesterday - and right now I'm twenty minutes into The Maltese Falcon. What else should be on my list, do you think?

*hoardes popcorn and blankets*

Ooh, the Third Man. And Casablanca, if you haven't seen it.

I love grumpy!John in his wicked cool sunglasses. *stealz*

[identity profile] gaffsie.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Seconding the vote for Casablanca.

Also, The Great Dictator and Some Like It Hot, if you haven't seen those already. And Duck Soup!

I haven't, actually, which I'm thinking is a huge gap in my education.

He's such a secret marshmallow inside that bad ass packaging. He'll pout at you rather than shoot you, because it's JUST THAT EFFECTIVE.

Chaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiir.

What's The Maltese Falcon about?

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
IMDB says: Sam Spade is a partner in a private-eye firm who finds himself hounded by police when his partner is killed whilst tailing a man. The girl who asked him to follow the man turns out not to be who she says she is, and is really involved in something to do with the 'Maltese Falcon', a gold-encrusted life-sized statue of a falcon, the only one of its kind.

Haha! Oh, those crazy kids sure make funny faces!

Have you seen The Philadelpha Story? One of my all time favorites. Always makes me thirsty for champagne, too. But my absolute favorite is Jean Cocteau's La Belle et la Bete. AMAZING images.

[identity profile] pennyplainknits.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh classic movies! One of my fave subjects

High Society (which is the musical version of The Philadelphia Story) and The Big Sleep which an awesome Bogie and Bacall noir (I want to be Lauren Bacall when I grow up) and Pillow Talk (Doris Day and Rock Hudson)and for McShep-class bickering and sexual tension Adam's Rib (Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn) and His Girl Friday (Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell)

I think that's enough to be going on with!

Mmmmmm. I want to hear about what happens when they get the chair hooooome! Also, I adore the slap fight with bathroom accessories! OH BOYS!!

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I've seen things about The Philadelphia Story, but I never managed to get my hands on a copy. *starts poking around* What's it about, anyhow?

[identity profile] melagan.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Your ficlet brings me GLEE! Rodney so would think of see himself looking distinguished and wearing a silken bathrobe while sitting in that chair. I'm with John though, I think he looks like porn. Merrrowwww

definitely Casablanca. It was years before I watched it and I was so glad when I finally did

Personally I recommend Dead Again (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101669/).Well done suspense and it occurs to me a bit belatedly how well this would transfer to John and Rodney in the main roles. Watch it and let me know if you agree ;)

Love the icons! I'm going snag a couple, let's see, let's seee, it's like being in a candy store! For now 14 and 28 because I don't have enough John icons (can anyone?)

When they get it home, John rides Rodney right there with his legs pinned between Rodney's sides and the chair's arms, leather creaking with every languid, lazy roll of his hips.

Yup.

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooohhhh!! *claps hands delightedly* What's Adam's Rib about? I've never heard of that one.

[identity profile] ladyflowdi.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
John and Rodney shopping could be its own show. It would be a ratings sweep. In short, ahhhhhahaa so adorable. I echo [livejournal.com profile] amberlynne -- surely there is a pretty, porny sequel in the works, right? Right? ::eyelash bat::

Netflix says: Socialite Tracy Lord (Katharine Hepburn) prepares to remarry, but her ex (Cary Grant) and a tabloid reporter (Best Supporting Actor Oscar-winner James Stewart) have other ideas as they converge on her home for a fateful visit. The three stars form an incomparable romantic triangle in one of the most tantalizing screwball romances ever. Ace Hollywood women's director George Cukor adapts this urbane Broadway comedy with precision and wit.

Oh, I agree with you: His Girl Friday is terrific -- I just saw it again. The dialog is so snappy! There was an SGA version of it, too, a really good one. Hmm. Wonder where that is . . .

[identity profile] amberlynne.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I love you. ♥

[identity profile] pennyplainknits.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Tracy and Hepburn are married lawyers. She's defending a women accused of murdering her playboy husband, he's the laywer for the prosecution. It has a lot in it about how men and women are treated differently under the law, and also show's thier marriage suffering as a result.

I've not read that one, but I did recently read an SGA version of Bringing up Baby. John makes an awesome ditzy socialite.

Personally I've got an SGA-ified version of Pillow Talk buzzing around my head. I can jsut see Rodney as the perfectionist interior designer...

[identity profile] elenlilta.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, definitely a must-see. It's adorable and quite funny. I could watch it over and over again.
