Fic rec: SGA, McShep

SLASH --> McShep, AU: "The John-Farr 'Verse" by various authors. Summary: Because of the Goua'ulds' gene tinkering, the people from Earth go through mating cycles. John and Rodney click - but Rodney is a Universal Receiver which complicates things a lot. Length: series.

John pursed his lips unhappily, thinking. He automatically pulled Rodney closer, running his hands idly up and down his back. He did feel better--a lot better. He realized he hadn't even really known how bad he felt until he didn't anymore. He wasn't much surprised that he and Rodney were naked, though he didn't know how they ended up in infirmary beds. The last coherent memory he had was seeing Rodney again, and the desperate, clawing need that went with it, like there was no way he could ever get close enough.

This series plays heavily with dub-con so if that's not your thing, don't read. But I just love the 'verse these writers built. The terms and dynamics and relationships, it's quite addictive. I spent the whole evening reading it!

An SG-1 book - for once ;)

Oh, wow! The summary of Diana Dru Botsford's SG-1 book "Four Dragons" (should come out in June 2010) sounds A-awesome!

Shortly after Daniel Jackson returns from his time among the ascended Ancients, he volunteers to join an archaeological survey of Chinese ruins on P3Y-702. But after accidentally activating a Goa'uld transport ring, Daniel finds himself the prisoner of the Goa'uld Lord Yu. Blaming himself for Daniel's capture, Jack O'Neill vows to go to any lengths to get him back - even if it means taking matters into his own hands.

Doesn't that sound just great? I'm so glad that female writers are coming back to the series, both SG-1 and SGA!

But you know what's funny? The SGA books:
"Brimstone" - the team is trapped on a planet that's about to burn
"Dead End" - the team is trapped on an icy planet

For some reason, I find it quite amusing. Sheppard and his team really don't get a break, do they? :P

Josh Lanyon's "The Dickens With Love" (ebook), #148

( Synopsis... )

Review: Josh Lanyon's stories never disappoint! This is a Christmas story so it's perfect for this season of the year. There were many touching but also many funny moments in this book - I especially liked the "ocelot in the bar" scene and then the flavored condoms thingy. Very amusing. So yes, another m/m hit by Josh Lanyon. What is it about his writing that it just clicks for me every time?
