dw_femslash recs

Oh man, the post that just went up at face_of_joe had me smiling for a full five minutes. I may not be heavily involved in SGA fandom, but it's hard to imagine there could possibly be a greater community out there. OH JOHN. ♥

The dw_femslash ficathon stories are going up right now, hurray. A couple of highlights so far:

Six Impossible Things, by netgirl_y2k
Donna/Romana, PG, spoilers for 'Journey's End'
My favourite impossible thing.

YES, basically. Lovely, lovely fix-it, because the Doctor doesn't always know everything.


Scattered all Across the Sands, by magicallaw
Rose/Martha, PG
She can see all of time and creation. At least, she thought she could.

Fragmented timelines and perfect characterisation and gorgeous writing, I'll be reading this one a few more times.


We All Want To Change The World, by st_aurafina
Martha/Ace, PG
After the Dalek invasion, Martha finds working for UNIT unsatisfying. Fortunately, Ace is playing by Perivale rules.

In which Ace is awesome, and there are both caves and chips, and Martha Makes A Decision. Light but layered, it's a lot of fun.


Totally unrelated, but a story I stumbled across earlier today and apparently missed out on when it was a big hit:

They Grip The Ground, by giddygeek
Team Torchwood, vaguely Jack/Ianto, PG

In which the team are trees, using their imaginations. Oh my heavens this is hysterical, and considering Torchwood canon, entirely plausible. Plus, this is so in-character it hurts. :D

Sometimes I think I would never read fanfic anymore were it not for your recs, I don't go looking for anything! *runs to read at work*

[such_heights]

Haha, I adore that shot of Martha! And yay, glad to be spreading the fic and the procrastinating opportunities, hee.

Read the Torchwood fic by giddygeek. It was hilarious! Especially Owen, and Jack with his tree/leaf quote of course.

[such_heights]

Hahahaha, seriously. I love this fandom so much. :D

[glass-icarus.livejournal.com]

oh, SGA fandom. *hugs it* :D i don't even watch the show (well, barring a couple of eps because i was curious), but the fandom makes me so freaking happy. especially with the John/Rodney! and A Farm in Iowa, s;dlfkajs;ldkgha;lskfj &hearts

[such_heights]

It's an awesome fandom! So much with the epic OTP-ing and awesome AUs and glorious crack. And Iowa! :D And the show's kind of great as well - which episodes did you catch?

[glass-icarus.livejournal.com]

dunno, really... i saw most of the one where rodney was losing his mind, and a couple of other bits and pieces with the wraith? haha, unspecific, i know, but i suck at remembering episode titles. :P

[glass-icarus.livejournal.com]

OH! and also, my favorites list (http://glass-icarus.livejournal.com/68684.html), most of which you've probably already discovered. :D but oh my god, some of those made me CRY, especially the one by synecdochic!

[such_heights]

Oh, yay for The Shrine. I do love that and also Tao of Rodney - something terrible happens to Rodney! The team must save him through the power of their love! John loves him the most! :D

And ooh, a lot of those I haven't read actually, thank you! Omg, though, 'Freedom's Just Another Word' is the most gutwrenching story I've ever read, possibly, I love it so much. It sort of reminds me of dorkorific's That The Science Of Cartography Is Limited by sheer power of being able to make me bawl.

[glass-icarus.livejournal.com]

omg, gutwrenching is EXACTLY the word. and so many SGA writers manage to do this to me, and i don't even know the canon! *flails*

the difference between Freedom and Science of Cartography for me, though, is that Freedom!Rodney is so freaking awe-inspiring, whereas Remus is just beautifully, thoroughly shattered. which is why i cannot read the latter anymore, but find myself returning to the former periodically.

[such_heights]

They are talented little so-and-so's, aren't they? But you really should catch up on the canon sometime. *encourages* I have maybe half a dozen people on the flist who watch SGA, and it is not enough!

Yes, very very true. God, Freedom!Rodney. If only the actual writers on the show consistently wrote him a tenth as well.
