Link: Bar Harbor's Best on LJ (and backup on Wayback). There's also a podfic read by rhea314.
Why This Must Be Read: This is an enjoyable no-Stargate AU in which John is a lobster boat and whale-watching charter skipper. Rodney is a brewer and winemaker from a local vineyard family who'd left Bar Harbor in Maine for a few years after an argument with his family, but who's now returned to renovate the local pub. The usual suspects are translated into local characters - Ronon a chef, and Teyla an environmentalist, for example. There's romance, adventure at sea, and of course a happy ending - it's a lot of fun!

Why This Must Be Read: This is absolutely a comfort read for me, and one I hope to reread many times. It's got all the good stuff: a great meet-cute, John as a somewhat fame-averse rock star, Ronon as "Big Ron" his head of security, Teyla as an eco-warrior, and Rodney as his usual genius self, blissfully unaware of the existence of celebrities. A lovely story, go read (or re-read) it!

the first bit, to get you going... )

Okay so Horayos was very long per day and very dry. But Nezikin was great, really wonderful and relevant. I had a really great time, such a wonderful contrast to Nashim. Definitely a lot to discuss in the siyum.

If you are as up-to-date as it is possible to be on COVID and/or influenza vaccinations for your country, I will write for you. Southern Hemisphere people: as up to date as possible means for your flu season, not the Northern Hemisphere's. Prompt away.

My fandoms.

Recently experienced:

KPop Demon Hunters - OT3!

Thursday Murder Club (movie) - ALL THE SMOOSH HANDS.

Slow Horses - I'm caught up on the TV show, have listened to all the books shy of Clown Town, and have a massive soft spot for Shirley and Louisa especially. Ho needs to never, ever get laid ever, but I adore him too. I want to introduce him to Jason Mendoza (The Good Place) so they can have a low wis/high int vs. low int/high wis trolley problem.

The Expanse - I'm halfway through Nemesis Games book-wise, and am slowly making my way through the show. I love everyone in this galaxy, and if anyone prompts me for Avasarala/Bobbie I will have feelings all over the place.

Please format your requests: Drabble or Poetry (you're likely to get a limerick), Fandom(s), character/pair/group (crossover pairings are fair game), any other prompt material (which I may ignore).

If you prompt me with something I can't write, I will ask you for something else.

On a personal note: if I don't get back to you rapidly this weekend, it's because I've been knocked out by my own one-in-each-arm strategy of vaccination. Go go gadget immune system!
petra: Cartoon of an overexcited airline steward with the text: You're always playing Yellow Car. (Cabin Pressure - Yellow Car)

ChrisCalledMeSweetie at Tumblr proposed a Cabin Pressure limerick challenge of a poem every day based on Cabin Pressure's episodes, in alphabetical order as per the canon.

The example provided was gen, so I wrote a set of gen limericks.

Then I reflected that gen limericks are not really in the spirit of limericks, so I also wrote a set of dirty limericks.

And then I got too down to post poems for a while, so today I spammed everyone subscribed to me with Fitton through Limerick's limericks.
petra: Text: "Gotta be one around here somewheres. Try the liberal call, boy." (Bloom County - Liberal Call)

Siderea's post on the subject, which points out that there are more "exceptions" that allow people to get the vaccine than there are people who are too healthy to qualify under the rules as written.

Your doctor can write you a prescription for one even if you are perfectly healthy and your only issue is wanting to stay that way. Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom.

Don't let RFK Jr. win! Get your jab!

Why This Must Be Read: John and Rodney meet at a therapist's office, and hit it off immediately despite John's parents' disapproval. John's acting out by going through a Goth fake vampire phase, hence the title, and he and Rodney of course get up to mischief. Funny and sweet - also, Rodney's therapist is great!
