.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!

Anyone could explain me the main plot please ?

I guess if there were a main plot, it'd be something like "John is discharged from the Air Force and moves to Nantucket Island (off the coast of Massachusetts in the US) to live. One day he's throwing a frisbee to his dog, who almost knocks over this guy walking down the beach, a guy who's very tired and awkward and strung-out. John learns that his name is Rodney McKay, invites Rodney back to his place for a drink, and Rodney... never really ends up leaving." :)

The index places the stories in their main sequence, but a lot of them have flashbacks to previous events that haven't been fully told, so bits and pieces of the story come out at odd moments.

You're quite welcome! It's kind of written in an odd manner, because we skip around, but if you follow the index, you'll (hopefully!) get the story in the proper order :D
