I just started it! Kinda hot, so far.

Also, I was listening to some random stuff on an iPod and discovered the perfect Sheppard/McKay song. Tiffany, I Think We're Alone Now. I may have scared some people giggling madly while walkiing down the street.

For the hat trick:

Just hit the first real plot twist. Hah! Didn't see that coming.

Yeah, I read it a bit earlier. I don't know whether to be charmed or squicked.

I just got there, too. Huh. This is very amusing.

And how silly is it that I have an hour to kill before my hair appointment and instead of watching last night's SGA, I'm reading SGA fic? Heh.

I wouldn't say it's all that silly. Several writers in the fandom create better stories than the actual show producers, and one's imagination has a limitless location shoot and SFX budget.

If I only had a brain...

I think Dana says that Sentinel fanfic is consistently better than Sentinel itself.

Finished.

Huh. I'm intrigued and I know I should be squicked by the brothers thing and yet I'm not, which is weird. Possibly because the incest taboo is related to breeding, after all. And because they weren't raised as brothers, so it's not a transgressive relationship for them --well, no more than it already is. It's sort of like Lone Star, I suppose. Although MPREG could be a problem. *grins*

To me, it's people being raised as relatives having sex that activates the incest squick, more than slightly increased likelihood of congenital problems arising from genetic relatives breeding. Though for some reason it doesn't squick me if it's occurring between identical twins - perhaps because there's no age/power inequity that means one is taking advantage of the other.

I've just found Kat Allison's Highlander fic. Damn, she brings the grief.
