Link Fic: Dreaming with a broken heart

Author's summary: There were things the government didn’t teach soldiers in boot camp.

Why This Must Be Read: This is an amazing, beautifully written fic by ladiflowdi that takes my breath away every time I read it! It’s so hot and emotional and just perfect! It captures a deeply intimate moment between John and Rodney, seen through Sam's eyes, and you can’t help but share in her jealousy as she secretly observes the perfect fulfillment, the perfect completion—the perfect picture of love.

Happy Wednesday!

I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!

Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!

Edited: The other cool thing is that this also means that the search index will be effectively realtime afterwards... no more waiting a few minutes for the indexer to catch new content.

and there's a podfic read by general_jinjur
Why This Must Be Read: A well-known classic, but apparently never reccd here before. Told from Rodney's POV, in which he elects to use alien tech for a temporary sex change as only women can access the stored artifacts of a matriarchal culture. John is moderately thrown by this, especially when Rodney commandeers him to test drive Rodney's new body sexually. Which goes less ideally than it might due to John being secretly way up there on the Kinsey scale. Rodney's perspective is funny, self-involved and perceptive all at once as he figures out what the hell is up with John, and of course, once he does and they're back home with Rodney male again, it's incendiary. Brilliantly written, and very hot.

Link Fic: Suicide Run

Author's summary: John decides it's now or never - he has to confront Rodney about how he feels, before his friend leaves Atlantis to begin a new life with Jennifer. But his big confession is more disastrous than even John expected...

Why This Must Be Read: This fic by the awesome Salchat is beautifully written, with such an artist’s eye for detail and description. The way she shows the emotional turmoil of both, seen through each other’s eyes, is incredible—painful and glorious in equal measure. It’s an emotional masterpiece, a journey through hell and back for both Rodney and John, but with the best possible outcome: finding the love of their lives.
