.fic link: Mail Call (John/Rodney)

[aesc]

First class from Nantucket:
If you loved Postcard, then you will love dogeared's beautiful Mail Call, in which John gets his postcard, things don't get said, but both of them get it anyway.

Also, it must be said I am very resentful of fic ideas that 1) come out of nowhere, 2) torment me while I'm trying to work, and 3) when I finally make time to pay attention to them, refuse to cooperate.

Really, it's just cruel.

On the other hand... Rodney as a mnemonist, like S.V. Shereshevskii or Funes the Memorious. Please tell me this hasn't been done.

In other news: Neighborhood association had a bunch of open houses today, and I observed two terribly cute guys going around one house.

Guy #1: Maybe we could paint over the moldings?
Guy #2: No way in hell!

I live in a neighborhood where people are either a.) married, or b.) way too slashable. Dammit.

.eta: completely useless, self-referential link fixed!

I hope your fic ideas start cooperating. Rodney as a mnemonist would be very cool, but hopefully without him ending up in an asylum like S.V. Shereshevskii.

One of my last grocery shopping trips was made much better by 2 cute guys together buying groceries. They were also way too slashable.

Hopefully, yes. We'll see if anything remotely resembling, you know, a plausible plot, develops first. That, and working out the difference between mnemonic technique/trained memory and Shereshevskii's natural memory, which on its own was kind of amazing. (And Luria's psychological biography of him still makes me goggle idiotically. I mean, wow.)
