.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!

Man, I wish I lived in your neighborhood, that sounds like too much fun!

Also, your fic idea sounds complexly cool; good luck with it!

Unfortunately, one of the slashy grad students down the street moved, and the one remaining has a new roommate. I feel like someone whose OTP just got screwed around with by the writers *siiiigh*

And I haven't met the new roommate yet, but I don't like him already ;)

Oh noes, your OTP got Jossed! That sucks! Now it can be fodder for an AU? *snicker* Or it will be like most fandoms, with wars about the latecomer to the pairing vs. the original.

I remember reading a lot about Memory Houses in literary theory class in college; I always thought that kind of stuff was so cool.
