sga_flashfic makes me want to read really trashy romance novels. The kind you buy at the grocery store for a buck.
Isn't it funny that I have no problem reading trashy romance-style stuff if it's wrapped in fanfiction, but have trouble with it in actual paperback form? I think it has to do with the fact that I'm already (emotionally) invested in the characters in fanfiction and in most romance novels (I've only completed one book that could be classified as strict "romance" and it wasn't that trashy) I couldn't care less about the protagonists.
So there's that, I suppose.
But, while some of the fic may be trashy, it's trashy on *purpose* and darn good.

kylielee1000's Temporary Engagements is delightful. The mousy secretary has to pretend to be engaged to the busy executive boss. It's Weir/Zelenka with background Sheppard/McKay and it's like sitting down to one of those guilty pleasure romantic movies with a packet of something chocolate. It made me happy and there just needs to be more Zelenka and Weir/Zelenka out there.
There's also a brilliant cover for it here byliviapenn.
The Hostage Major (Part 1 and Part 2)byfrostfire_17 is also good reading. Really like Sheppard and McKay in this one. And the weaving in of the SG 'verse. McKay's a billionaire. Sheppard is kidnapped. It's *great*! Like, really.
A Royal Deception (Part 1 and Part 2) bymandragora1 is also very enjoyable. Atlantis needs Prince Rodney back. It's funny and hot and on the very best kind of crack. :)
_inbetween_'s Master of the Manor is slashy gothic romance. I laughed *so hard*.
The recs give me reason to use my Weir/Zelenka icon. If it really came down to having relationships on the show? I think that's probably the one I'd most like to see. Or just more Zelenka. Whichever.
Of course, I'm also allowed to change my mind about this whenever I want. Ha.

Watched part of Ella Enchanted with Mom. It would be too much if Liv Tyler and Anne Hathaway were ever in a movie together.
I'm avoiding packing. Can you tell? I just...don't want to deal with it. Wish I could just, I dunno, wave my hand or a wand or get the Asgard to beam me up and just *be* in Seattle without the middle part. Not like I have that far to go, in the grand scheme of things. I just want to have it done.
Going to stop in Ellensberg on the way to see if we can't find a working set of SG-1 season seven. Gonna stop in North Bend to buy me new shoes! And see if I can't find a new sweater. 'Cause boy do I need one.
