Recs, recs, recs

Ooops, missed these yesterday!

Team Play: Goal, a delightful World Cup AU where Rodney is the coach of the US Team and John is their star player. I'm a sucker for sports AUs, so this was great fun.

Team Work: History on the Run, another delightful AU where Rodney works for the Department of Energy and John is a reporter for CNN. Clever premise, wonderful Teyla, loads of fun.

Non-McShep Match:

Let's do some other fandoms, shall we?

In Supernatural, here's a wonderful body-size kink fic with a terrific OFC from the awesome busaikko.

In the Losers, and I cannot believe I have not recced this before: The first eight don't count, by storm_petrol, Jensen is a werecat! :D :D :D And it's not just cracky, it's awesome and strangely touching, too (and not just the Cougar/Jensen bits - the bits with his sister and niece are lovely). Plus Jensen as an honest to god action hero! It's just delightful fun.

I have reced this one before, but I can't help reccing it again, it's SO GOOD. White Collar/Leverage crossover by the amazing fiercelydreamed. I Lie, I Cheat, I Steal (and I Just Don't Get Any Respect). Pitch perfect Hardison voice.

More White Collar: Quid Pro Quo by scribblinlenore. Kissing, yay! OT3, yay!

Also, by the lovely shaenie, Contractual Obligations: A Love Story in Three Traffic Lights, a lovely beginning to an OT3 story that I enjoy so very much.

Recs and links

Recs from McShep Match:

Team Play put up Ahead of the Game, a delightful, shortish fic about Rodney ruining his own birthday surprise by being too smart.

Team Work put up a gorgeous piece of art called Rapid Descent, with John and Rodney and a quite literal jump and a quite literal gun. I don't know much about art, but I really enjoyed this piece a lot.

Links from all over, including metafandom and torachan's linkspam (where you should go for further interesting links).

A 10-year-old writes about the whitewashing of the Avatar: the Last Airbender movie and in no uncertain terms says why the whitewashing sucks. I love this little girl.

poisontaster's You've now tuned in to the motherfucking greatest is a perfect explanation (for me) of what it felt like to come out of the cave wrt fandom, and talks about how even though I think most of us would like to go back in once in a while, mostly, we don't, and we shouldn't.

The link that made me dance in my seat, though, is Target lost $1.5 billion in stock value after donating money to an anti-gay-marriage Minnesotan candidate for governor. Unfortunately, they intend to continue making donations, so I guess they didn't learn their lesson.
