Why This Must Be Read: A series of stories in the 5-things structure, some with attraction, some entirely gen or friendship-based, and an AMTDI OT4 near-orgy. They're all wonderfully written, and as a bonus postscript, [personal profile] minnow gives us an M-rated section she cut from the OT4 part, which is very nice indeed. There's some worldbuilding about Sateda and Ronon's earlier life, but not a lot as the sections aren't that long. An excellent read.

First off, sorry for the day delay in announcing new prompts, but that wine wasn't gonna taste itself!

Now that we're all back to our regularly scheduled programs, it's time to prompt once again. Thanks to a friend, I have a new favorite song blaring in my head, and that's how we got "survive" as a prompt. And whoa, but that one's a doozy. You could create a lot of angst with this one! From the sad suicide-mission that John Sheppard is apt to take, to surviving yet another Wraith attack on the city, to being chased on an alien planet by dinosaurs. Aah, survival.

And then we have "wait" - which, oh, can bring a whole ball of angst itself. Like Rodney trying to busy himself during Sheppard's suicide mission. But it can also be Carson waiting at the alter, losing his breath when he sees Laura appear in a wedding dress. Or it can be Atlantis, under siege, waiting to hear if their last message got through back to Earth.

There's lots you can do with "wait" and/or "survive" - and you've got the next few weeks to make the most of it. Go!

It's been a banner month for whispers and screams - thank you everyone for the amazing fills!

[personal profile] brumeier  gave us "Let Me Talk"
[personal profile] melagan  gave us "Whispers"
[personal profile] mific  gave us "Move The Stars For No One"
[personal profile] sgatazmy  gave us "This Second Chance at Happiness"
[personal profile] shippen_stand  gave us "Substantial, Solid, Sure"

If you're working on something for whispers and/or screams, you've still got a little time to get it finished and turn it in; you've got until Sunday evening, 8/3/25, to get it posted. But if you need a little longer, just leave me a note.

Meanwhile, new prompt coming soon!

Link: Fair on DW
Why This Must Be Read: This is a lovely AU in which John's a fairy and he and Rodney meet as children, and then, many years later, as in canon. Meanwhile, there are shenanigans with an Ancient memory device, and of course there's angst and drama once John's heritage is revealed, and his mother gets involved. The story's beautifully written and a cracking good read, with plenty of feels and a satisfying ending. It's only available on DW so may not be as well known as stories on AO3. Very much recommended.

Author's Website: WonkyElk on AO3
Link: Crossing Line

Author’s summary: Rodney and Laura talk about the events in Duet. (AN: An attempt to get a little resolution for a few things in Duet.)

Why This Must Be Read: The awesome Wonkyelk did an amazing job with this aftermath fic, written in alternating POVs and creating a long-overdue moment between Rodney and Cadman that addresses the unique and emotionally painful experience they both went through in Duet.
She combines lighthearted and somewhat funny glimpses with deeply emotional and meaningful ones, allowing both Rodney and Cadman to express themselves with honesty, thoughtfulness, and sensitivity. It shows that there’s not just right or wrong, but understandable reasons, and offers thoughts that bring balance and a first step toward healing for both of them.
This fic gives you what should have been in canon, and it stays with you in the best way.

Author's Summary:

The repeal of the US military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy changes John Sheppard’s life in more ways than one.


Why This Must Be Read:

John is on mandatory leave from Atlantis but Woolsey has decided that command staff should not take leave at the same time. So John is hanging out at the SGC because, well, he has no where he wants to go. While he's there, DADT is officially repealed.

An interesting character study of John Sheppard when he really understands what the repeal of DADT might mean to him.

As a side note, it's illuminating to see the effect DADT had on at least John... It's easy to forget that DATA was in effect when the show was running.

If you like this, check out Arya's other stories... they're nicely done!

Random login go!

I deleted Twitter because of course I did. I am on bluesky now (https://bsky.app/profile/waketosleep.bsky.social) and I actually post a fair amount there? Back on my microblogging bullshit, I guess.

You're more likely to keep up with my doings on AO3 than here at this point, but fannishly: I've posted 230k words of fanfic in the last 3 years! The amount I've WRITTEN far exceeds that. I'm a machine. A machine that's writing a lot of Yakuza old man yaoi. But that is only one of nine different fandoms I've written fic for in that time. I wrote like five fics for Trigun Stampede. Finally getting into Trigun fandom after loving it since I was a teenager was wholesome.

I basically don't watch TV or movies anymore, couldn't tell you why. Just stopped, that's all (although I did watch TriStamp and I've seen some other random stuff here and there). I've been meaning to watch s2 of Severance though and it's on the Plex server I'm subscribed to so I might get on that soon, at least.

I do play video games still. I remain subscribed to FF14 and do a lot of high end raiding now. Once you get a good regular group for that shit (and I have one), it's pretty fun. I played like half of FF16; might finish it sometime. I have played almost every Yakuza game at this point. I think there's like four I haven't played still. Five if we're counting Lost Judgment. I'd like to play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 since nobody shuts up about it but my PC can't handle it until I replace the processor and mobo, so lol. Maybe someday.

Work-wise, I've been in solo practice now for... a year and a half? Thereabouts. Never going back to being employed by someone else, I don't think. Money is tight but I stay busy and the ability to decide how much I work and how much money I make is helping my health some, which is really all I can ask. Got several matters in early litigation right now, we'll see which ones make it to trial. Probably more than one. I need to figure out how to serve a claim in Michigan soon.

I had to move last year (same city, different neighbourhood) but I like my new place quite a bit. It's very cool in here in July. I'm trying out growing flowers from the ground again in my little patio area outside, although I started them late and from seeds so we'll see how they do. Some are perennials, so fingers crossed they try again next year. If not, I'll try starting them sooner and see if that helps.

Why This Must Be Read: In this AU, John dies on his suicide-run delivering the bomb to the hive ship in the Siege, but suddenly wakes up a day or two before, the timeline having been reset. It's not a timeloop story as there's just one reset of the timeline. Finding himself back in the recent past, John learns that, even with hindsight, it's hard to alter the future, especially with senior officers like Colonel Everett! It's a gripping story, and fascinating to see John trying to make changes and sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing, and eventually having to come to terms with what he can't change. He does get to change his relationship with Rodney though, this time acting on his feelings. The ending is hopeful, but is left open - I choose to believe it's happy.

As soon as his breath moves the air, he hopes fiercely that Rodney didn’t hear him.'

Notes: Most explicit thing I've written in a very long time. Porn with emotional plot. I went with the obvious on the prompt, but it broke my writer's block, so thank you. Also, first time posting here, so I hope I got it right.

Summary: “You have no power over me,” Rodney whispers.
Notes: A fusion with the movie Labyrinth. Recorded for the "whisper" prompt, on the slender pretext that the word "whisper" occurs in this story several times. Also, I really wanted to draw John as the Goblin King.
