Five Ways Daniel Improves Atlantis by findo; 1.357 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, pg, slash, stargate atlantis, stargate sg-1 — theantimodel @ 8:59 pm

Stargate SG-1/Atlantis: Jack/Daniel, Sheppard/McKay

This is a short, lovely set of vignettes which beautifully illustrate a future I would love to see happen in the Atlantis universe. This story definitely falls outside of my norm (long, plotty, R/NC-17) but it’s an absolute jewel.

shape of the universe by descrime; 3.362 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, gen, house md, pg — theantimodel @ 7:28 pm

House MD: gen, Wilson centric.

Canon gives us hints of Wilson not being the good, nice guy he seems to be and this story expands on that in some really cool ways. Missing scenes from eight episodes in which Wilson is at his manipulative best. I couldn’t remember all of the details from each of the episodes Descrime wrote about, but I remembered enough.

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, gen, pg, supernatural — theantimodel @ 4:04 pm

Supernatural: gen.

A good post-Devil’s Trap story, note: this is, obviously, chock full of spoilers for the season 1 finale.

OMG Dean and Sam and an orphaned kid and the metallicar and omg. Dean is so, so awesome when he’s all protective and grudging.

a date, but no flowers by princessofg; 5.292 words

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, pg, slash, stargate sg-1 — theantimodel @ 7:48 pm

Stargate SG-1: Jack/Daniel.

First time fic, romantic and lovely without ever crossing the line into schmoopy or sacharrine. I really like Princessofg’s Jack and Daniel and I love that this story is just ansgty enough that you’re not quite sure where she’s going to take it.

A Date, But No Flowers

free nights and weekends by amatia; 536 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, pg, slash — theantimodel @ 2:05 pm

The West Wing: Josh/Sam

I generally like longer stories than shorter ones. This particular story is a stellar exeption to the rule. It’s fairly short but perfectly moody and atmospheric. Stories like this are fantastic because every word in them serves a purpose. I love Sam, and I was sad to see him go. Without getting too meta on you all, I think in a lot of ways Sam’s leaving the show signified an end to the first stage of the show. This is a great story because it deals with that situation in a way that the show never did.

Free Night and Weekends

time and the fates of man by marguerite; 9.967 words

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, gen, pg, the west wing — theantimodel @ 2:03 pm

The West Wing: gen

This series is really good. Spoilers for the first two episodes of Season 2 In the Shadow of the Gunmen 1 &2 it’s a gen story, no pairing but the characterization is good and she’s added a lot of interesting depth to the events post-shooting.

Time and the Fates of Man

you and me in a rowboat to rio by punk and sabine; 4.268 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, pg, slash, the west wing — theantimodel @ 2:00 pm

The West Wing: Josh/Sam

Wherin Sam takes Josh to Florida for vacation. First time fic, good but not particularly great.

You and Me in a Rowboat to Rio

you and me of the 10.000 years war by violet & ellen m; 32.636 words

Filed under: 20.000-50.000 words, pg, slash, the west wing — theantimodel @ 3:09 am

The West Wing: Sam/Josh

This is good, it’s long it has a politically driven plot and a good amount of angst and confusion. It also has some Josh/Amy and even less Sam/Ainsley so if the het really scares you then stay away.

You and me of the 10.000 Years War

once upon a furry octopus by skoosiepants; 6.000 words

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, pg, slash, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 1:40 am

Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay

This is a really funny story. It’s totaly crack fic but it’s really fantastic, there’s fuzzy alien pets and misunderstandings and just, yes to everything.

Once Upon a Furry Octopus

very very improbable by lacey mcbain; 6.400 words

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, pg, slash, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 1:37 am

Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay

Lacey’s good at first time fics, this is a post-Grace Under Pressure story that deals with Rodney’s hallucinations in a slightly different manner than you might expect.

Very, Very Improbable

a little learning by lacey mcbain; 8.400 words

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, pg, slash, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 6:15 pm

Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay

I have a lot of love for Lacey’s writing because her characterization is always interesting and her characters very fallible and very real. This is a nice post-Defiant One story about how Rodney deals.

A Little Learning

we have lingered by trinityofone; 2.000 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, pg, slash, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 6:12 pm

Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay

A nice post-Grace Under Pressure story where Rodney needs to leard how to trust people.

We Have Lingered

pointless by annie; 1.641 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, pg, slash, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 6:04 pm

Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay

This story made me smile the entire time I was reading it. Great Rodney.

Pointless

sum by billietalent; 718 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, pg, slash, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 5:59 pm

Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay

This is pretty short but every word counts and John is fantastic in it.

Sum

if it must break by slodwick; 1.319 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, pg, slash, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 3:18 pm

Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay

This was written for the Pucker Up Challenge; I totally love stories where John lusts after Rodney. It’s pretty much a guarantee of good things to come.

If It Must Break

C8H10N4O2 by megolas; 584 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, gen, pg, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 3:16 pm

Stargate Atlantis: gen, Rodney-centric

Rodney’s an addict in the best way:

his urge to eat their heads mellowed slightly if they sacrificed two cups of freshly brewed Blue Mountain to him before they pleaded their cases.

C8H10N4O2

hands on science by nin; 4.700 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, pg, slash, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 3:11 pm

Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay

The sga_flashfic school challenge has been good to me. This is another they-met-before-atlantis story, Rodney’s a museum expert and John’s on a school trip to Canada. 4,700 fantastic words which only serve to make me fall just a little more in love with John and Rodney.

Hands On Science

Ni A Sabios Ni A Ricos by summerfling; 1.119 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, gen, pg, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 2:14 am

Stargate Atlantis: gen, Heightmeyer

A fascinating take on Heightmeyer’s experiences in Atlantis, and her diagnoses of the main cast. Make sure to read the comments for some interesting meta.

Ni A Sabios Ni A Ricos

Cosecant by Domenika Marzione; 6.000 words

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, crossovers, gen, pg, stargate atlantis, stargate sg-1 — theantimodel @ 2:13 am

Stargate Atlantis: Jack O’Neill, John Sheppard.

This is one of those stories that really helps solidify the characters in your mind. Basically, it’s Jack’s take on John after their post-Seige III return.

Cosecant

small world by tiges; 2.500 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, gen, pg, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 2:11 am

Stargate Atlantis: gen Sheppard, McKay, Zelenka.

I’m a total sucker for they-met-before-Atlantis stories, this one was written for the sga_flashfic school challenge.

Small World

superpowers by punk and pares; 2.300 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, gen, pg, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 2:04 am

Stargate Atlantis: Rodney/Lesbians.

Rodney turns women into lesbians. Totally hilarious and perfectly Rodney.

Superpowers

the illustrated rodneysaur by moonloon; 4.379 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, gen, pg — theantimodel @ 2:03 am

Stargate Atlantis: gen

John and Rodney. Omg. SGA fandom produces the best crack. And they illustrate it too! Seriously. This is the awesomest. Rodney gets turned into a very small grumpy dinosaur and it’s hilariously cute.

The illustrated Rodneysaur

little bear by kellifer; 2.773 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, gen, pg, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 2:01 am

Stargate Atlantis: John and Rodney.

Oh man. Even more _____ gets turned into an animal fic! Totally cracktastic and painfully cute, this time it’s John getting turned into a polar bear and Rodney having to deal with it. I love that so many SGA authors are embracing their potential for shoving the boys into insane and humorous situations.

Little Bear

the milk and cookies war by punk; 6.401 words

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, pg, slash, smallville — theantimodel @ 1:00 am

Smallville: Clark/Lex

First off this is college fic which just…always means good things ahead. And it’s by one of my favorite writers so that’s an even better guarantee. This story is beautiful and agonizingly built up to it’s natural conclusion. It’s really just a fabulous read.

The Milk and Cookies War

becoming (everything i need) by no me toques; 1.618 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, pg, slash, star wars fps — theantimodel @ 6:15 pm

Star Wars fps: Anakin/Obi-Wan

I wish this wasn’t such an angsty pairing, I’m such a sucker for happy endings. Nevertheless, the pairing is rife with slashy possibilities. I really like this one.

Becomding (Everthing I Need)

the waters of march by duinn fionn; 21.401 words

Filed under: 20.000-50.000 words, harry/draco, pg, slash — theantimodel @ 1:54 pm

Harry Potter: Harry/Draco

Voldemort’s final victim resides with the other spell-damaged wizards in St. Mungo’s Hospital. Harry suffers survivor’s guilt and finds an unusual beta. Cream-colored knee-high leather boots make a brief appearance.

Evidently, this story is the author’s first attempt at slash. The plot is pretty cool, the premise original, but the writing is somewhat faulty. It’s heavy on the exposition in the beginning, but if you read past the fist scene I think she makes up for it by the end.

The Waters of March

columbus circle by kate; 4.305 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, pg, popslash, slash — theantimodel @ 12:20 pm

Popslash: JC/Nick Carter.

Written for the Don We Now Our Gay Apparel holiday challenge this is a fantastic AU in which JC is a busker in New York City and Nick is a struggling painter. I love AUs like this, the kind that take place in the real world. This one is especially fun because so many pop characters are in it and it’s always been enjoyable to me to see what kinds of jobs authors give them in an AU like this.

Columbus Circle

this by joie; 2.064 words

Filed under: 1-2.500 words, pg, popslash, slash — theantimodel @ 11:50 am

Popslash: JC/Justin

Joie is one of those authors who can write exeptionally develeoped characters. And this story is really strong on the details. This is like the ultimate comfort fic for me. It’s not schmoopy or anything, just quiet and soft and wanting. It’s set during the time Justin is recording his solo album and it’s just gorgeously written.

Jeeves and The Blessed Indiscretion by shallot; 4.358 words

Filed under: 2.500-5.000 words, jeeves and wooster, pg, slash — theantimodel @ 2:31 am

Jeeves and Wooster: J/W

This was written for the Yuletide challenge of 2004, until then I hadn’t any clue that Jeeves and Wooster fanfic even existed, but color me pleasantly surprised. Shallot is an incredibly talented writer in any fandom and Jeeves and Wooster is no exception. The story is perfectly Wodehouse in every turn of phrase. If you’ve ever picked up one of the Jeeves and Wooster books or seen the tv series you must read this story.

Jeeves and The Blessed Indiscretion
