i'm thinking it's a sign

Woot! While I wasn't checking, Chapter 15 of the FFVII Sephiroth/Cloud fic Fusion by Knowing Shadows was posted! And it was a meaty chapter, full of....stuff. It feels like the story is progressing. God, I love this fic.

Newest KKM raw manga posted at conradxyuuri? Hilarious! There's a version of the silly bit in one of the CD dramas were Conrad and Yuuri sound like they are doing something very naughty and Wolfram loses it. And Gunter's frightening diary makes an appearance. XD

Today's happy song: No Sleep Tonight by The Faders is upbeat, fun, with a driving beat, and absolutely perfect for cruising on the freeway with the sun beating down shining brightly. AND the lyrics made me laugh (once I paid attention to them) because they reminded me of a certain type of McKay/Sheppard fic that SGA does soooo well.


I got you, I got you on my mind
And it's time to make you see (what I want)
So i'll just make this a little more obvious
Cuz I get what I want, and I want you to get with me

Don't think you know,
How far im gonna go

You can't stop this, feeling
You can't run away, baby i'm whats on your mind
You can't stop this, feeling
There's no escape,
No sleep tonight,
You won't get, no sleep tonight

You want me, you want me all the time
And you don't need nothing else
And you seem to be a little oblivious
So i'll show you the way if you think that you need some help

Tell me baby
Are you coming, with me

You can't stop this, feeling
You can't run away
Baby i'm whats on your mind
You can't stop this, feeling
Theres no escape,
No sleep tonight,
You wont get no sleep tonight

No sleep tonight,
No sleep tonight,

Boy you won't be sleeping
No sleep tonight
Do I have to spell it out in black and white

Boy you won't be sleeping
No sleep tonight
Do I have to spell it out in black and white

Oh oh oh oh oh
No sleep tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh!
No sleep tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh!
No sleep tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh!

You can't stop this, feeling
You can't run away
Baby i'm whats on your mind
You can't stop this, feeling
Theres no escape,
No sleep tonight,
You wont get no sleep tonight

Oh oh oh oh oh!
No sleep tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh!
No sleep tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh!
No sleep tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh!
No sleep tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh!
No sleep tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh!
No sleep tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh!
No sleep tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh!
No sleep tonight

Scary how it can go John-->Rodney AND Rodney-->John. XD

(lyrics from here)

And onto the SGA stuff proper:

A cool fic/music fusion based on Four Quarters by trinityofone, a band!AU, The Best of The Puddlejumpers: Bootleg Edition. The music, the lyrics, the snippets, they all kind of come together. Very cool.

Waltz, tango, Foxtrot by out_there is an adorable McKay/Sheppard AU (originally started for the Harlequin Challenge, so that should tell you something right there) in which Rodney takes dance lessons with his girlfriend. Their dance instructor? John. I loved Rodney: obnoxious and socially retarded, neurotic and big-mouthed. John just oozed, all over the place, yet managed to be real and sweet. ^^

mitethe pointed me at the terrifying clone!fic Convictions by graycastle. Yowzers. Fics that take a premise and run and run and run...in such few words just blow me away. And the angst!

Such Is The Way to The Stars by Otter is one of those fun McKay/Sheppard fics I smile at every time I read it. How can anyone resist the opening:

When Rodney sat down -- a little too calmly, considering he'd entered the room at a sprint -- he said, "I've been here for the last twenty minutes. In case anyone asks."

John raised an eyebrow and put down his sandwich. It didn't actually taste much like turkey, anyway. "McKay?" he said, and he managed to insert a few layers of inquiry and reprimand into the word with no additional syllables.

Rodney waved one hand dismissively, and used the other to steal one of John's crackers. "Relax," he said. "It's nothing. Well, nothing they'll be able to prove, anyway."

And it only gets better!
