Fic: Domestics

Shiny links:

*fatuorum made a gorgeous manip for the Four Quarters-verse. (wychwood, is that what we're calling it? Help me come up with a better name!)

*anna_luna drew an illustration for Are You Experienced? which features Rodney's naked ass. If I can inspire more people to draw Rodney's naked ass, then I will have lived a rich and valuable life indeed.

*Also, for those sorry, sorry souls who missed it, notpoetry wrote me How to Tie a Bow Tie, based on this photo (which I'm now thinking might be a First Monday publicity shot--what do you think?) and my desire for academic AUs. I promised fic in return.

And here it is.

Title: Domestics
Rating: PG
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Length: ~1300 words
Summary: Two people, three worlds, and life as a series of not-so-pointless tasks.
A/N: For notpoetry, who asked for a John/Rodney domestic story. “For varying values of ‘domestic,’” she said, and hopefully, I listened.

tzeentch, jaebi_lit, someinstant, megolas, and randomeliza—you can all still request something if you want it. I can't promise I'll be this fast, but I'll add your prompts to the (ever-growing) list.

Non-threatening boys (and the men who would totally kick their asses)

*siriaeve once again wins at EVERYTHING. She made me JF icons from caps of First Monday (ahh, coreopsis, my evil plan worked!), possibly for use in AU Professor Sheppard fantasies. I'm almost willing to forgive her her recent habit of calling JF "The Flan." *g*

Especially because of this:

Trin: I can't stop listening to Dido, SAVE ME PLEASE!

Siria: WHAT WHY TRIN NO STEP AWAY FROM THE BAD RODNEY WOULD NOT APPROVE.

Trin: It's just this one song! The lyrics are secretly evil! *whimpers*

Siria: Oh, you say that now. But this is probably just a gateway song. Soon, you'll have the Easy Listening station on your radio, and you'll be finding Carson the hottest man on Atlantis (because he's just so asexual! My mam'd love him!) and then missy, then we'd have to have words.

Trin: Now I want someone to rise to the near-impossible task of maniping a picture of Lisa Simpson reading Non-Threatening Boys Monthly or whatever that magazine was called with Carson's head on the cover. *vbeg*

Siria: *snerks* If I had the Photoshop skills and the Simpsons screencaps, I'd totally do it. Because you know that Carson would be the poster boy, and you could join the Carson Beckett fan-club and get a little packet of stickers and a badge and a yearly newsletter in return. The newsletter would be full of things like 'nice things you can do for your mammy' and 'yum recipes for scones' and '101 ways to screw up ethically when a doctor.'

Flist! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find that cap! The world needs that image, man. It does, it does.

Disclaimer (once more quoting Siria): *pets Carson* It's okay, we like you really.

Other random point of brilliance: _inbetween_ has discovered that Callum Keith Rennie should have played John Constantine. And not Keanu Reeves. May I emphasize? AND NOT KEANU REEVES. Thank you.
