STILL. FROZEN. You know it's a bad sign when tomorrow's forecast says "Temperatures rising to -20."

I just walked down to the mailbox on the highway (3/4 mile each way). Fingers cold. Legs cold. Everything cold.

Let's have some more non-gen recs.

Women's Work - SGA, Miko/Cadman, not rated (probably PG)
This is the story this week at sga_talk -- and I really loved it; it's not really a "pairing" story so much as a little slice of Atlantis life that happens to include the pairing, if that makes any sense. (And honestly, I think you could make a good case for this one being gen with UST.) I loved the feeling that we're getting a series of glimpses into the lives of the people who aren't onscreen very much.

Come and Join the Dance - SGA, Rodney/Teyla, NC-17
Rodney/Teyla is the only het pairing for SGA that I get all mushy about. Which is really funny, because I can't actually imagine it working out in canon. At all. Besides not having anything whatsoever in common, she'd kill him. But I love this story anyway, and I might've even rec'd it here before. It's incredibly sweet and has lovely h/c and a nice role for the team, too.

I was going to rec some Sheppard/McKay here, but going through my bookmarks, there's actually a bunch of them I've read lately and I'm not really sure how to pick. Besides, I think that most of the ones I liked have been rec'd all over the place already anyway.

Speaking of recs

Thank you so much for recommending "Come and Join the Dance" - it's a wonderful story! I'm a slash fan, and a McShep girl, but somehow, this particular bit of het is more than acceptable to me: it's so darn well done! I've commented at the story in a little more detail but just a word, here. Team, community, family: these values are expertly, subtly explored in this story and it's a pleasure to read such a respectful rendering. Thank you for reccing this story! I truly appreciate it! Love, Maxine

You're welcome! Isn't it a lovely story? I go back to it every once in a while for the warm fuzzies.

And I do plan on doing a list of Sheppard/McKay recs fairly soon -- even if some of them have been rec'd elsewhere, because you do have a point about that!
