I'm not an SGA fan, I think I can count the episodes I've watched on one hand and I've never seen SG: Atlantis, but that has got to be one of the most incredibly written fics I've ever read.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Oh, "Cartography by Touch" is beautiful. It was part of her 14 days of valentine's stories, which was amazing for the sheer number of words of good fic she produced in under a month. That is unspeakably beautiful too.

Oh, I meant to say, I read that last night. Gorgeous. I was too tired to give coherent feedback when I finished. Gee, guess I'll just have to re-read it so I can do that. Oh, the trials...
I was then pretty much stunned (happily) once I realized that there were fourteen stories written in fourteen days sitting there, with a lot of SGA. Totally bookmarked.

"Bell Curve" is probably my favorite SGA AU ever. Surpassed only by another fic of Pru's, "Hindsight." She's got these characters down.

I thought her Rodney in "Hindsight" was a little too caricaturish, but I could spend hours re-reading that take on John.

Hindsight, is that the FBI one? I had trouble getting into that for some reason.

Yeah, it's the John that gets me--that's why I love it so much. There's just something about him. He's--chill? It's like, this was what John would have been if he hadn't been in the military, and I could buy this.

Maybe I'll give it another look and read with that focus.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I finally saw that Gunn vid set to the Kanye song, and I now need, very badly, to rewatch all of Angel.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Have you seen the Gwen/Gunn vid, ita?
It's kind of silly, but it's Gunn.
