pictures and things: 'Traders,' noir!John, watch aesc pretend to be productive

The past two days have been characterized by very great exhaustion. While it's a change from feeling like my sinuses are trying to invade my eye sockets, I'm not terribly crazy about it. My brain laughs at the thought of managing plot (I can hear it cackling) or anything much more complicated than playing with Traders screencaps of unbearable quality yet unbelievable adorableness.

There is no sad Grant here, just him being goofy and weird and with the hands. (*flail* I can't help it, I love him and may possibly be addicted.) And there's also some noir!John, who is having his backstory turned over between decongestants.








Cone of silence!




He is such a dork, and I love him SO MUCH.


And hey, some icons! These will go up for real with the slowly-assembling collection in a couple weeks, I hope. But, in the meantime, feel free to take.




I've been doodling away at the noir stuff between other things and sinus infections. In the spirit of The Long Goodbye, John Sheppard is a disgraced Air Force veteran, pulled alive from the wreck of his P-51 Mustang in the North Sea. No one knows how he survived, but a few people have guessed....





Seen around: you comment with the start of a sentence, I reply with the rest of it. These can be fannish (e.g. John Sheppard and Dean Winchester like to) or personal (e.g. If I could smite one person in the world, it would be), or whatever, really.

If there's one thing Teyla doesn't understand about Rodney...

"You are unbelievable!" said Rodney, waving a pair of boxer shorts around. "If I had had the FIRST IDEA that you would . . .

The note left on John's desk is small enough -

When Rodney is pretty sure John isn't looking, he...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmpf JOE.

John should have known what would happen when he opened the door and saw . . .

I know you did it, I KNOW you stole the rest of my mini Snickers bars, and if they aren't back by the time I'm off-shift YOU WILL PAY SHEPPARD. Got that? YOU WILL PAY.

Those are great caps. I do miss Grant.

On Monday, Grant brings Ann ...

Grant! *holds close*

And noir!John *drools*

John wondered aloud how this would've been different had...

The noir!John(s) are lovely upon lovely. Mmmmm.


Rodney hadn't been thinking too clearly at the time, but still he knew...

"... ask me to move in with you, then I would have said you were dangerously insane and should be restrained for my safety and the safety of the expedition, but you... but you did, and I didn't expect it, I still don't, and now my stuff is all over the place and did you even think this through or did you think I found an Ancient device that compresses the total amount of space occupied by four years of crap into two drawers and a corner of the closet, but I guess that's thinking it through in your version of reality and now I have nowhere else to put my boxers and... oh my God, we're living together."

"Breathe, Rodney."

"Breathing."

Precious Grant! Oh, if ever there were a guy in need of a fierce hug. *sigh*

But damn, those two pics of Joe are so gorgeous. Caps from that movie just cry out for B&W don't they? You did a great job on all of them.

Oh, if ever there were a guy in need of a fierce hug.

Ohhhh yis! I finished the series yesterday and I really wanted to track Hewlett down and give him the hug that Grant really, really needs. Oh, Grant :"> :">

Caps from that movie just cry out for B&W don't they?

They do. They also cry out for me to do illicit, dirty things.

... it's his determination, which she should understand and does in a way (Athosians are intimately acquainted with necessity), but in unexpected and much-needed moments it burns in him more brightly than she can ever remember seeing, and she's surprised all over again.

Oh, you finished Traders then? You're brave. I don't have the guts to do it yet.

They also cry out for me to do illicit, dirty things.

Don't we all? *g*

Oh my gosh! I must have a Grant icon! I must, I must! Because I just found that show and started watching it (last week) and was trying to explain to my friend about how much I love Grant and she didn't get it and now! Now there is a Grant icon, hurrah!

Oy, Joe is so very pretty! In that first picture, I swear he looks like he's waiting for someone to come and drag him out of his funk. (Can it be me?) Also, his hair in that first picture is amazing.

If it makes you feel any better, I accidentally fell asleep at 7 o'clock last night and didn't wake up until 7 o'clock this morning. And then I had to go to work. Sigh.

A sentence starter:

It's delayed shock :)

pounces, which is always a dangerous proposition because John has Stealth Ninja Ops training and has eyes in the back of his head, fuck fuck like now, but while John has skills Rodney has desperation, they are the last of the mini Snickers bars on the entire base and Rodney is suffering from a nougat deficiency, and they make it to John's secret stash in a tangle of limbs and laughing curses and pushes and shoves that turn to John's mouth on Rodney's, and Rodney crushing a mini Snickers in his hand.

Heeeeeeeeeee! BOYS! Kisses are better than candy any day. ;)

But, as I said, licking chocolate and caramel from John's mouth will not stave off hypoglycemia!

Spreading it liberally over his chest and then licking it off, maybe.

he not been demoted or if Rodney hadn't been sent to Siberia, and Rodney looks at him and says, "You know, there are realities where those things didn't happen," and John stretches, tries to imagine the impassable gulf between seconds, between choices, and can't, and folds back into himself, into Rodney lying still and warm next to him.

Rodney sitting up in a tangle of curses and rumpled bedsheets, flushed and sweating and oh God, he'd been jerking off, which only reminds him of what he'd done three times in the locker room after practice this week, and the denial he's used to paint over coming with Rodney's face hovering in front of closed eyes, and how even the barest glimpse of Rodney's body--the pink-washed stretch of his neck, the slow broadening of his shoulders, his eyes--washes denial away and leaves want behind, so powerful he can't mutter an apology before he runs.

and was trying to explain to my friend about how much I love Grant and she didn't get it

What's not to get?! HE IS SO LOVELY AND MESSED UP and he can come live with me and pet my dog and soup up my computer.

leaves the cap off the toothpaste, because if you can't control your toothpaste you can't control your life, and given the barely-controlled chaos of their existence, Rodney should not be surprised.

In honour of [livejournal.com profile] kimberweeme sentence starter which made me smile...

John's never heard Rodney use the word "tizzy" before and it makes him -

that kissing John Sheppard was the best, best, best idea of all possible best ideas, and he had been pretty out of it but not enough to miss the fact that John kissed him back.

Awwwww, Grant. *hugs him up*

On Monday, Grant brings Ann ...

a flower from his favorite corner of the park, the corner where there's a bench that's nice for sitting on during the summer because of the shade from the oak and the squirrels run around for acorns and it's close to the, the lady who sells birdseed from her cart? and he tells Ann this as he presses bright yellow petals into her hand with clumsy fingers, it's, it's for you, and she smiles.
