Two conversations, two fics

Apparently, I have been Marvining people like crazy with my angsty fic. I have two solutions to that. First, I wrote a bit o’crackfic for sga_flashfic’s Post Secret Challenge: The Universe Is Not Enough, based on ficklememeer’s postcard. I blame due South for this. A lot.

ETA: newkidfan made amazing and hilarious cover art! ( Check it out! )

Second, you have the results of two conversations with siriaeve, whom I seem to be shrouding in infamy (in a good way, I hope!). After I posted An Exceedingly Insular Man, we had this little talk:

trinityofone: I keep writing depressing fic, and now half my friends list thinks I don’t like John anymore!
siriaeve: You should write a story where Rodney gives John a puppy.
trinityofone: What about one where John rolls around naked with a bunch of puppies?
siriaeve: Ahh! Ahh! Bad David Hasselhoff flashbacks! Ahh!

Then I flashed back to when the two of us were watching Scanners II:

David Hewlett: I keep getting these really bad headaches; I wonder if this has anything to do with my burgeoning telekinetic abilities?
Girl Who Has a Mad Crush on David Hewlett: You may have problems, but at least you don’t have a tragic deadly puppy disease, like this ridiculously cute puppy over here!
David Hewlett: You mean you like puppies, cursory love interest? Well, I like your breasts, so here, let me fix this one for you!
David Hewlett: *magically makes the puppy all better*
Siria & Trinity: Oh my God, David Hewlett can heal puppies with his brain!

Add the two together (minus the naked John, I must with all honesty and regret report) and you get:

( Pointless Fic in Which Rodney McKay Can Heal Puppies With His Brain )

Rejected titles for this fic included: Must Love Dogs, Puppy Love, and Hounds of Love ('cause I totally already wrote that, OMG). Your insulin shots should be available at the next booth over. *g*
