30 Days Couple Challenge - #9

Day 9: Your least favorite couple

Ah, another easy one!


Keller & McKay, Stargate: Atlantis

You can't even grasp the depth of my hatred for this pairing. I hate it so much I still haven't re-watched SGA's S5.1. Just because Martin Gero, one of the writers of SGA, decided that it would be awesome if the nerd got the prom queen, his own words paraphrased, they destroyed the build-up of Ronon/Keller and made Keller and McKay a couple. It grated so much that the episode Brainstorm remains my least favorite, most hated episode of all SGA! "Rodney, pay attention to me, don't be so selfish, you always have to be the center of attention, you're embarrassing me etc. and so on!" And THAT's the great love between them? Wow. Just, wow! *bristles like a cat* Oh yes, still mighty pissed, as you can see!

Fic rec: Sherlock

"Speak Now, or Forever Hold Your Peace" by flawedamythyst | John/Sherlock, John/Mary | Unexpected revelations at a wedding. | ~4.700 words

"That said, I have just had a rather spectacular break-up with Mary, so I reckon the sane thing to do is to go home, have some tea, and not jump into anything until I've had a chance to catch my breath.”

“That seems-” started Sherlock, and was interrupted again.

“Of course, neither of us ever go for the sane thing to do,” said John. “So, actually, let's go home, have some tea, and jump straight into bed.”

Sherlock blinked. “Is the tea crucial to this plan?” he asked.

Lovely, lovely fic! And Lestrade is rocking awesome in it! Gosh, gosh! *rolls in the pretty*

Fic rec: White Collar

"If You're Gone" by sahiya | Peter/El/Neal | What do you do when the people who've become your Pole Star move three thousand miles away? Neal Caffrey is about to find out. | ~31.000 words

It was only because Neal was very, very good at what he did that he managed not to choke. He laughed instead. “Am I what?”

Diana wasn’t laughing. “In love with Peter. Don’t worry, it’s only obvious to anyone who’s spent the last four months watching you like her career depends on it and has a finely honed gaydar. Since I’m the only one in the office who fulfills both those criteria, I think your secret is safe.”

“I’m not gay,” Neal protested. “I like women.”

Diana’s look sharpened. “I notice you didn’t say you don’t like men.”

What a great fic! I really love the friendship that blossoms between Neal and Diana in this fic!
