Happiness? Happiness.

This must be what it's like to be a bit of milkweed, delicately dancing on the breeze.

The weather has been pristine. 70 degrees. Clear blue skies. The mountains still snow-capped even this late.

I love my summer classes, focusing on just one subject all summer long.

My job is great. I'm a little tired after class and I need to do better about actual eating, but the relaxed atmosphere of the tutor center is like that of a resort town on the off-season. We tutor. Then we do pretty much whatever we want. And I'm working with two fanfic writers who are both very cool.

wildernessguru and I are absurdly happy. The cat is fluffy.

All right, whoever ordered up all this happiness, may I tack on a hot fudge sundae? Because that's really all that's missing.


For your enjoyment:

Last Place You Look by thingswithwings, John/Rodney, NC-17
Summary: Hardcore BDSM, that's easy. Hickeys, though. Hickeys are hard. For kink_bingo.

Steamy, with a fetish I've never considered. Naturally, thingswithwings makes it hot, but also... so personal.

The Old Familiar Sting by perfica, John/Rodney, PG-13
Summary: I know I said I'd write a drabble, but the story got away from me! Hope you don't mind a bit of angst.

What perfica calls angst, I call gentle and deeply touching. Wonderful Outcast tag.

SGA Fic: Bacchanalian Circuit - McKay/Sheppard - NC-17

Finally, the story I wrote for mcshep_match. Ah, life is good. Most people will have already read this over at the Match, but in case you haven't.

Title: Bacchanalian Circuit [NC-17]
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Warnings: Humorous dubious consent. Plus eleven different kinks. I don't consider this a warning, I consider it an achievement.
Author notes: Written for the mcshep_match and kink_bingo (list of kinks at the end). Thank you to Tingler, Dossier, and Celtic Tigress for their gleeful beta support—and to Amothea (again) for cheerleading me through the first and second draft. I could not have done it without you. As for Rodney's hair-splitting over gantlet and gauntlet, technically he's correct, but both spellings have been in use for the last 300 years. It's an etymological mystery why. Word Choice: New Uses, Common Confusion, and Constraints.
Summary: Rodney has a few... hmm, esoteric... fantasies about Sheppard tucked away in his normally sacrosanct mind. It's perfectly natural, understandable, to be expected even. Then the real Sheppard shows up to ruin them.
