(no subject)

stargateanon is a new comm where fics are posted anonymously and their authors revealed two weeks later. There are only five fics up now, but they are quite good. Three I want to mention:

Burning Bridges. McKay/Sheppard. Subtle, they are not. Funny and retarded, they are.

Ghost Stories. Team fic. Nice mission fic with great interaction within the team, as well as with the natives and the, er, ghost.

All You Can Be. McKay/Sheppard AU. It's simple and elegant and smooth, quiet and sad loving.

Other fics I liked today:

Live and Let Lust, the Secret Lives of McShep by kuonji starts out hilarious and ridiculous and actually ends up totally cool. I love that moment of perspective shift, when everything comes into focus and it all clicks.

DADT, Damyata, Dayadhvam by trinityofone is a very cool AU. I love the premise. I love what it does. How the intent of a casual touch can imbue so much meaning and yearning. How it's never enough: "One more. You have to ration them out. That's what you have to do." And of course the end: And then those lips parted, and they said, simply, "You can."

And last but not least, more Crimes Against Humanity... *requisite flailing* I love the dark side. I really do.

Miscellaneous requests

I hope people can help me out with some of this stuff.

1. SGA fanfic: Mating Rituals by Karen Mcfadyyon. Does anyone have this saved? I keep seeing it rec'd all over the place as the awesome penguinfic but it's not online anymore. ;_;

2. Song: Blaze Away by Trax. I think this was an opening or closing song for Eyeshield 21? I'd love to get the entire single if possible. (I know, I should just buy it. I will, eventually...)

3. Song: You're Beautiful by James Blunt. I thought it was a pretty song the first time I heard it, but didn't bother trying to get it. Well, I found out recently that the video is of him committing suicide. I like screwed up stuff like that, so now I want the song.

4. Good music in general.

5. Japanese songs to translate at work. I think I need to stop reading the fics at work. Especially the NC17 ones....

6. Manga recs. Anything blowing people away recently?
