This entry will be open through the 28th. The March reccers post will go up sometime on Sunday.

Comment with the username you'll be using to rec and the category you want. Choose a category from the list below or select a more rare category that has been used in the past. If you want to rec a category that is not on the list below or in Memories, that's fine, too: you may volunteer for a category that isn't listed.

By signing up, you are committing yourself to reccing at least two (preferably four) stories in that category during the month of March. You don't have to check the Memories before choosing which stories to rec. If you have a good fic to rec, go for it! Do remember, though, that story links must be freely accessible, without requiring any sort of login to view. The FAQ and rec template, with detailed instructions, can be found here. Reccers may add self-recs once they have done their minimum two for their category of the month, and see more details at the FAQ entry.

Why This Must Be Read: This is the first SGA story by puddlejumperpilot, and it’s equally hilarious and so hot, hot, HOT! Rodney and John are truly terrible at communicating, and puddlejumperpilot writes them so perfectly in character. We get wonderful manly, and of course very mature, talking... and more. It's especially delightful how Rodney wants to be “manhandled” and still gets bossy from the bottom. It’s gorgeous how John knows how to “handle his man”… and how to take Rodney—literally.
You really should give this adorable story a go. Enjoy!

Day 26: Forbidden Love

'Forbidden love' is a concept that I enjoy reading about and writing about in fiction but acknowledge that in real life, it usually comes with unfair if not abusive power dynamics. Like 'soulmates' and other tropes, it belongs in fiction. But the tension is nice.

Fandom: BTS [AU]
Pairing: RM/Jin
Summary: Romance novelist RM spots a fan of his work on the subway.

That’s My Heart Right There by Willie Perdomo

We used to say,
That’s my heart right there.

As if to say,
Don’t mess with her right there.

As if, don’t even play,
That’s a part of me right there.

In other words, okay okay,
That’s the start of me right there.

As if, come that day,
That’s the end of me right there.

As if, push come to shove,
I would fend for her right there.

As if, come what may,
I would lie for her right there.

As if, come love to pay,
I would die for that right there.

Poem that Begins w/a Tweet About Gwendolyn Brooks by Mitchell L. H. Douglas

Gwendolyn Brooks was a Jeopardy question no one could answer tonight.
That’s a metaphor too painful to wrap my head around.


& I said, “The poem is about Love
because all poems are about Love,”

& you rolled your eyes so hard
I thought they would snap back to center

w/cherries & diamonds. The flit
of your lashes renders me nameless & I fall

blank for what feels like a block. Falling
is a metaphor for my life: unsettled,

unmoored. I capitalize Love
because it is bigger than what we are

or what we give credit for: oaken,
open. For that, you have no answer,

your breath in kitchenettes:
hal/ved, qu/art/er/ed—cut again.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a glimpse into an AU where (I think) the expedition have been cut off from Earth, and have also suffered the city being invaded. They've survived it all, but they have scars, both physical and psychological, and this is very much hurt/comfort as John, Ronon, and Rodney take comfort in each other. As the title suggests, they've also developed a secret crop that helps them survive by trading it in the Pegasus markets. Interesting and evocative.

Got an update from Ian. Boo's liver enzymes especially the ggt are high. He's getting a medication brought home.

According to Google:

GGT is also important in nitrogen metabolism and is found within liver cells. High levels indicate bile duct obstruction, liver disease, pancreatitis, Cushing’s and can be caused by high levels of steroids. Low levels indicate starvation and malnutrition.

We can rule out steroids and the sentence about low levels. Vet didn't mention pancreatitis (something Ian and I have experience with Pywhackett nearly died with it and our Joey died in the hospital getting treated for it when a brain tumor was discovered when he had seizures).

The medicine is to rule out infection and we're waiting to hear from the radiologist. He's here with us and we're hoping it's just an infection.

I haven't done a proper News & Views in several weeks so here goes.

1. We got a couple of inches of snow Sunday night. I was terrified Monday morning but I made it to jazz man in one piece and it melted enough for me to take Indian lady to physical therapy. Also, in the middle of making myself sick about whether I was going to survive my commute, my body decided it would be a great time to start menstruating. WHAT?!

2. On the heels of [personal profile] spikedluv's death, one of the members of my meditation circle died on Friday. She had had several rounds of chemo AND remission over the years but two weeks ago went into the hospital with severe dehydration (c-diff) and never rallied. She had a tremendous amount of energy (she was 70) and 5 young grandchildren. An amazing person.

So I am feeling my mortality. Nobody knows how much time we have, do we? I feel more urgency about some things. I want to see BTS perform in August and I want to get to 221B Baker Street as soon as I can. Also, given my work (home care for the elderly) I am sensitive to quality of life and what that means to me.

3. Speaking of quality of life, I signed up for another weight loss program (not Weight Watchers, which I've tried THREE times and not Noom, which I did once). I am not going to describe it, because I just started like 20 minutes ago but it isn't a drug (and a British lady runs it so I like her voice, this is important to me). No judgement, but those drugs scare me. We'll see how it goes.

4. Annoying things. Air force guy's family didn't cancel my session today so I drove out there suspecting they'd gone to chemo...and I was right. The door was locked. And granddaughter told me to go home. Then I talked to my sister and she insisted on mis-using pronouns for someone in a story she was telling, finally tell me (after I corrected her five times) that 'they' was plural and to use it singularly was arrogant. The co-worker my sister was talking about went MISSING. Sheesh.

5. Boys are switching from winter sports to spring sports this week and next. Winter running to track and indoor soccer to outdoor soccer. Let's hope Mother Nature cooperates.

6. I got to run outside today at the lake because of cancelled session. Yay. Now I am headed to my Alzheimer lady.

March is coming very soon!

Day 24: love of animals

I have known for a long time I am missing the gene (or synapses) that allows me to connect with pets but I do love animals (and wish them the best, wherever they are). And I love this series: how about frog making a valentine for toady?

I woke up with a headache and my day got worse from there.

Boo cat, aka Mushi, my fifteen year old cat that I've had for the longest even though Jasper is much older. Had two poops in a row, where he vomited at the same time and the poops had blood in them.

We called the vet as soon as they opened but it was his surgery day, so they scheduled us for noon. We put Boo in the carrier and then about 20 minutes into the 45 minute drive get a text that the surgery is running late so... We have an appointment at 2:30.

So now I'm playing the waiting game. I didn't go with because my headache is getting worse and Mushi will scream the whole damn time.

Trying not to dwell on all the awful things it could be when it's very likely that he just has a bug or had constipation and hurt himself.

He had good numbers in December.

Last week it was warm but now it's cold again but tomorrow it'll be warm.

I know I had other things I wanted to type about but... I am anxious.
