Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Elizabeth Weir, Carson Beckett, Aiden Ford
Rating: Explicit
Length: 8100
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: astolat on AO3
Themes: Inept in love, Friends to lovers, First time, Favorite fanworks

Summary: In which Rodney and John fail to pay attention.

Reccer's Notes: For me, this is the ultimate "inept in love" fic. It's clever, very funny, and brilliantly written, as Rodney bounces blithely from assumption to oblivious assumption, with John startled by the sudden sex they're having, but somehow never managing to communicate clearly that Rodney's got it all wrong about them being in a relationship - until it's finally totally clear that they both are. An all-time classic!

Feel free to leave prompts, answer prompts, or both!

Now I haven't lost my mind... maybe. I'm looking at the weather for tomorrow and it says rain and then snow. Excuse me? It's been under 30 for nearly 2 weeks. Let's leave it there. I DO NOT WANT RAIN and then snow. holy shit the ice is thick enough. (the poor grounds keepers were watching me trying to get across the ice floe apologizing. We can't get it off!) Snow, go for it. Rain first, go fuck yourself Mother Nature. No one wants that.

Speaking of DNW, my students some day. So I've been preparing to flip my lab to mondays. We talked about it in Dec. We talked about it the first two weeks. Today is the first day we did it (snowed out last monday) and one of the students goes 'i have class in that time period. OMFG. WHY did you wait until now to tell me? I'm speaking with the chair/dean because in the original position upwards of half the class will miss every lab. If I move it only 1 misses, the one who didn't tell me about this class. I'm gonna go out and sleep on the ice.

I'm at the point in my reading journey where I'm not liking a book but all my friends love it and now I feel pressured.

I made a real milk hot chocolate. At least this didn't have the same weird taste to me BUT my lactose pills did nothing. Someone is playing cat's cradle with my stomach. Way to fail me

it's music monday 30 weeks of music. This week's prompt is 12 A song from the 90s. Share your faves too.

( I'm breaking this into two under here, the rock-pop ones and the country )

here's the whole prompt list

( it's under here )

And I have decided to do a new declutter project but rather than talk about what I'm tossing, my plan is to pick ONE thing a day to red up. Some things will get tossed. Others will be put away correctly. Etc.

today - cleared up the top of the dresser. Found many earrings that had been missing. My mother mentioned a friend of hers in NC has an abused women's shelter that takes jewelry and clothing to get these women back on their feet, give them something to wear to job interviews etc. I wonder if I have something like that hear because I need to dump half of these earrings and I don't want to toss them in the trash

Current Mood: nauseated

Have a video short of the creation of Toad of Frog & Toad, the video is entitled 'Frog makes a friend.'

Artorias is a DLC boss.

Beating the final boss of Dark Souls puts you straight into New Game Plus, so you need to do the DLC first if you want to do it, but yeah. I have in fact completed the base game up until you enter the last area. And there is a general consensus that the final boss is not the hardest in the game.

The DLC bosses are all substantially harder than the base game ones, and I have two more left, so it remains to be seen whether I can beat them, but at this point the odds look decent that I will at least be able to finish the base game.

I would like to remind you all that my initial goal was to see if I could beat the tutorial.

Three very short courses looking at some basic aspects of genes. It was helpful to learn a little more about DNA and how genes are passed on through the generations.

Introduction to Spanish
The German I had been thinking of doing was above my level, and while it's helpful to be challenged, there is no point in floundering completely. So instead I took the new Spanish introduction, which served as a good reminder of what I know.

Title: The Joy of Voyeurism
Fandom: Gourmet Gamer
Content Notes: None applicable

"Rim, why do you like making food for people so much, even if you can't taste it?"

It was Saturday, and Mellina had invited Rim and the other REAL players to hang out again. Rim, of course, had volunteered to let everyone stay at his place while he cooked a delicious dinner.

"Well, it's… I can't let my cooking skills fade away, right? And, when I see someone eating my food, and looking super happy, it's almost like I'm eating the food along with them!"

"Food voyeur," Mellina chuckled to herself as soon as she thought of the name."

I used to love K'NAAN, but I hadn't seen this one, and ran into it because it was a past winner of the award Raye just got for "Ice Cream Man" (the Harry Belafonte Best Song For Social Change Award).
