this might be the place

A highly experimental drabblet for schneestern, who managed to take my crappy morning and turn it into a pretty good day. ♥ (Note: I have no idea if this thing even makes sense. It's kind of late. Woops.)

Ahaha, Jules and I just got Gmail chat banned at my school library: Your network administrator has disabled Gmail's chat features for all users on the network. You won't be able to use chat in Gmail any time you're connected to the network on which you received the error message. Er, woops. Maybe we shouldn't have been talking about weird porn. ( Not worksafe! Crude language! )

Unrelatedly, why isn't it spring yet? Walking from the library to the subway today was so windy I ended up eating my own hair.

Oh dear fuck this took ages. Jules, I better get a really sexy kiss.

I'm separating the list into arbitrary categories that no one else will understand because it is easier for my poor brain to handle. Note: all of these fics are McShep unless otherwise marked, only some of them will have summaries with them, all full-AUs are labeled, asterisks are personal favorites, and, in advance, I apologize if any of the links lead you to a second part of a story; sometimes I bookmark them by accident, though I've tried to make sure all of these link to part one or the directory. If any links are wonky, or I've forgotten to label an AU, or any coding mysteriously develops kinks, let me know.

EDIT: All of these choices are highly subjective. This is by no means a full list of everything awesome in this fandom, and I don't claim that it is. These are just authors, fics, and artists that I consider greatest hits. If you disagree, please, go ahead and make your own! I'd love to see where we differ.

Title: Just Like We Do
Authors: unamaga and schneestern
Pairing: John Sheppard/Joe Flanigan
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: ~3,450 words
Notes: Anyone who has seen Jules and I interact knows that we have no shame, so I'm not offering any excuses for this. There are none. Also, there is really no plot; we just wanted Joe and John to have sex. Er, Happy December!

( He cups his hand around the back of John's neck, mumbling, slow, slower, and guiding John into aching, long strokes, watching with something hot curling in his gut when the switch suddenly flips behind John's eyes and he gets it. )

My apologies for the spam today, guys, but this one needs to go up.

Title: Persuasion
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: 850 words
Summary: John's always been good at getting Rodney to do what he wants.
Notes: For my darling schneestern, to make up for her shitty night. Pretty much just porn.

( The door hasn’t even fully opened, and John already has Rodney backed against the wall, one knee slipping between Rodney’s thighs and grinding up against his cock. Rodney manages to whisper, “Oh my god,” hands falling to rest on John’s hips like he’s not sure if he wants to push or pull. )

Dear Jules,

Right now, you are probably out celebrating your own awesomeness in the awesome city of Vienna. Just in case you maybe-kinda get online before the day's through, I wanna wish you a big, sappy Happy Birthday!

We still haven't quite figured out how you found me or why we started talking, but I can quite honestly say you've made my life better just by being around. You're the one of the sweetest, most honestly caring friends I've ever had - no matter what's got me down, you can always make me giggle like a loony toon with a few well-placed words or by sending me a candy manthong.

Not many people can keep up with me and my insane perversions, but you definitely can - and usually you encourage me to entirely new, perverted heights! There's nothing you're not willing to try at least once, you're open-minded and willing to listen to whatever I say about...pretty much anything, from political rants to philosophical views to nonsensical babblings at five in the morning. And on top of listening? You're always willing to contribute. Even if you don't exactly know what I'm talking about or you don't agree with me 100%, there isn't anything I can't talk to you about.

All of this is really woefully inadequate in describing how much you mean to me, and I suspect you know that, even though I've missed a few of my daily I Love Yous lately. You're just...you're the snail to my snake, and I adore you.

Love,
Mel


Title: Pretty Pretty Bunch
Pairing: John/Rodney
Rating: R
Wordcount: 570
Notes: So, it's not exactly the epic work of art I wanted to write you, Jules, but it's sex pollen! And I swear, that John/Rodney/Atlantis fic is totally going to happen one day; I love you that much. Quick beta by miss immoralilly. ♥

( John reaches out anyway, feeling oddly drawn. “Aw, come on, Rodney. Where’s your sense of adventure?” )

My lovely schneestern asked her flist who they wanted to be today instead of themselves, and most people answered awesome things like "Anna who has a fabulous house and lots of books", except, y'know, more elaborate than that. But I? Am an odd duck. This is my answer:

I want to be an eccentric middle-aged man who wears a brown, lopsided top hat and has a pipe that he pretends he packs with tobacco, but which actually just blows bubbles. My name would be something long and exotic, like Eric, but everyone would just call me Bob.

My days would be spent blowing bubbles from my pipe as I strolled leisurely around my sprawling estate, playing golf with my imaginary friend, Clownard, inviting young, available men and women to stay for weeks at a time so that I may make matches of them, and fancifully arranging ice sculptures in the garden for my next picnic-gala.

So, stealing from Jules, who do you want to be today? Bonus points if you can somehow involve a potato masher.

Oh! And also. I think I've been tagged for this thing five times over, so, here are seven songs that I am currently into - and this time, I will keep it down to seven songs only, damnit.

2. Tori Amos - Happiness is a Warm Gun
   
3. Ella Fitzgerald - It Don't Mean a Thing
   
4. Cat Power - He War
   
5. Massive Attack - Inertia Creeps
   
6. Billie Holiday - Loverman
   
7. Iron & Wine - Teeth in the Grass
