Author’s summary: When John rubs a magic lamp-- "Magic?" squawked the genie, flapping its incorporeal arms. "How many times do I have to tell you that magic doesn't exist? Oh, you made a wish, did you? You can't just wish for something that's expressly against the laws of physics and have it come true just like that! It can't happen. Oh," it said, with an exaggerated incorporeal sigh. "We're in a story. That, apparently, makes everything okay. So go on, tell your stupid story. I bet no-one reads it. Magic and wishes? Pah!"

Why This Must Be Read: This is the best fairytale crossover-ish fic you never knew you needed, with everyone perfectly in character and Rodney as the ultimate non-genie genie of all time. It'll have you laughing all the way through to the unexpected, delightful ending and never fails to brighten your day. It's plain and simple crack-tastic—worth every read and reread!

For those of you in and around San Francisco California, the MLP convention BABSCon is on now for the last time and it's big. See https://www.babscon.com/ It's at the SFO Hyatt Regency in Burlingame, near the airport, at 1333 Bayshore Hwy. There should be bus transportation around there, it does not look like an industrial wasteland. If you can go, have fun!

rating: t

pairing: mcshep

summary: After the first time - searing, shocking, sharp, a dunk into an icy pond, from which it feels that you can never quite be warm again - grief settles in like a muscle memory. It always hurts, of course, a slightly varying amount each time, depending on closeness, but that shock of the new is no longer there.

He has done this before. He will do this again.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a chapter in a White House AU torakowalski played with, where Rodney and John are part of the West Wing crew and in a relationship. John's a speech writer and Rodney, worried about the number of death threats he's received, arranges a bodyguard for him. You can guess who! It's funny and a distraction from current goings on, and they're very much in character.

Link: A Mistake Worth Making Twice

Author’s summary: After John and Rodney drunkenly sleep together, John is horrified, and Rodney is hurt. Their attempts to repair the friendship may be in vain, as both their strategies only seem to make things worse.

Why This Must Be Read: This is an absolutely outstanding fic! From the summary alone, it promises a deeply emotional story of heartbreak and sorrow, but also a tale of true love, with all its burdens and grace. Assured by the happy ending tag, the story takes you with Rodney—alternately with John—through anger, angst, grief, frustration, intrigue, and jealousy. But it also offers hope, insight, understanding, reaching out, realization, and ultimately, triumph and fulfillment—capped off with the hottest ending ever.
So, if you enjoy stories that shatter your heart alongside Rodney’s in a roller coaster of emotions and then piece it back together with a passionate, hard-won, breathtaking happy ending, this fic is for you!

Additional Info
Gen Prompt Bingo is a low commitment multi-fandom, multi-media bingo challenge.

Its aim is to provide bingo cards of gen-style prompts to be used as inspiration in creating fic, images, meta, fanmixes, vids or any other kind of fannish activities. Although the prompts themselves are "Gen" (i.e., no prompts are specifically about romance or sex) fills may be of any genre, style or rating.

Prompt lists are renewed at the start of December and April, and new cards can be claimed then even if a previous card has not been completed. There is an amnesty period for posting fills that can not be used for bingo claims from August to the end of November.

Please do not post individual prompt fills to the community. Post these to your own journal or other community space and only post to the community once you have completed a bingo. These do not have to be DreamWidth journals and communities, but they must be publicly viewable at least until the end of the current bingo round. It is OK for each prompt fill to link to separate posts or for them to link to separate items within one post (i.e., a post with several drabbles, each of which is a fill, or a post with several pictures, each of which is a fill) - as long as each fill is a distinct piece of creative work we are not concerned how you have arranged to post them to the Internet.

Country: USA (in the PNW)
Subscription/Access Policy: all my posts are public! Anyone can subscribe and I'm happy to be friends as well :)
About me/Other info: I'm mostly a fandom blog (I'm from tumblr) - but I also really love poetry & want to post about the poetry books I'm reading, I also read a good deal of fiction (mainly fantasy) & am trying to read more non-fiction this year so will likely talk about that - might be a few posts about my personal life here and there but very few - also love music and am always down for recs!

Main Fandoms: Tolkien (primarily the Silmarillion though) | MCU| Stranger Things | BBC Merlin
Other Fandoms: I like Narnia, Percy Jackson, Good Omens, The Raven Cycle
Fannish Interests: I mainly write fic but I do occasionally make photosets/gifsets/web weaves (which is what I'm archiving from tumblr right now)
OTPs and Ships:

Silm: Maedhros/Fingon, Fëanor/Fingolfin, Haleth/Caranthir, Celegorm/Dior/Nimloth, Celebrimbor/Sauron

Stranger Things: Steve/Nancy/Jonathan, Steve/Eddie, Steve/Billy, Robin/Nancy, Nancy/Chrissy

Other notes: I tend to write just as much gen fic as I do shipping fic - I'm pretty obsessed with sibling dynamics & just friendship dynamics in general so Fëanor & Fingolfin, Arthur & Morgana, Robin & Steve are a couple that I love

Why This Must Be Read: This is a lovely side-adventure in both fandoms. Kaylee accidentally falls through a portal into Pegasus and River follows, bang into the middle of an encounter with the Wraith by John's team. It's all from River's spooky and telepathically accurate POV and her assessments of them all are fascinating. I love this combination of two of my favourite 'verses.
