SGA recs part one: Comfort fics
1/4/09 12:42 amSo a while ago I did an informal poll about what people like to reread, and why, and it came to my attention that I reread certain fics over and over again because I mostly read fic when I'm in a particular mood. That mood is in need of comfort. Further rec sets coming because I'm not always in a comfort mood, and there are a million other amazing fics out there that fit other, different, moods.
A lot of these are classics, and really need no introduction. I'll give them a brief one anyway. For the less well-known ones, I'll give a little more. All John/Rodney because that's the way I roll. There will be other pairings and gen in the future, but John/Rodney is my happy place, and thus the comfort. Also, I'm not putting much info on these recs, sorry, it's late and I don't have time, so, assume NC17, though not all of them are, and assume 10k and up. I'll try to label the over 25k ones for you.
There's two types of comfort I need, mindless romantic comfort (I call them quick fixes), which means I want at least 10,000 words, I don't want too much angst, and I want a nice tidy bow on the end (that's not to say that the stories aren't wonderful and well written and emotionally true, just that they're easy on me). The second is comfort that is earned. This type of story tends to be longer, have a higher angst to hope ratio, and doesn't always end with a reset button - a happy ending can be learning to deal with a situation that isn't ideal, or recovery... but there has to be real honest-to-god hope at the end.
