Hieroglyfics Recs

This is a remix of a story I haven’t read. It’s the kind of AU I like best (which is alas rare in SGA) - set in a world that is close to, but not quite, canon, in which familar canonical events (or their analogues) occur. Rodney’s still an SGC scientist, but John is a robot - except that he is not, as he claims to be, an AI sex toy, but a highly advanced and highly secret experimental model. The plot includes both standard Harlequin tropes and startlingly clever twists and revelations. There’s a bit of handwavium tossed around, but no more than in the show. A good read.

Ostensibly Fraser/RayK, but OTPers might not want to read it. The structure delights me and the punch line, which I refuse to spoil, makes me giggle.

Men awkwardly talking about their feelings! And kissing!

Fraser/every woman on the show! Hee, maybe you could consider this a bit of a constructed reality vid as well: Fraser as suave and sexy Lothario! Cutting a swath through the entire female population of Chicago! It’s fabulous and OMG hot, and it ends with a slashy implication, so, yay!

Heroes, Niki, Claire, Monica gen, PG, vid. This is an awesome vid of the Heroes women moving from cowed and dependent to strong, empowered, and kick-ass. Unfortunately, it’s a bit of a constructed reality vid, because the show’s not quite like that. Oh, well. I’d watch this show. And I’d watch this vid. A lot.

RPF, Hugh Dillon/Callum Keith Rennie, set during the period before Hard Core Logo filming. Hugh struts around and acts like a jerk until he realizes that the reason Callum won’t have casual sex with him is that Callum’s not casual about Hugh. The sex is nngh hot, and the emotion is just as raw and urgent.

A Mountie on the Bounty snippet. Beautiful and evocative writing.

A post-CotW discovery fic, mmm. The voices worked really well for me, and I particularly love the aching yearning in Fraser, that he wants Ray and cannot bring himself to act. The choices in metaphor and description are lovely, with lots of realistic cold-climate detail.
