fic rec [SGA]: Remorse by michelel72

I climbed a 4+ tonight. \o/ What is better, I tried the same route last week and found it impossible, and today it was very doable. Maybe I'll try to tackle a 5er next week, if I'm feeling adventurous.

gmail is down for me. Waah. I'm getting a 502 error. Is it down for anyone else? [edit: it's back :)]

Today's weather sucked. I was raining all afternoon. That translates into low energy for me. I seem to get my energy straight from the sun in some kind of weird human photosynthesis. As a result I got almost no work done today. What am I even doing online? Okay, one quick fic rec, then I'll be good and catch up on work.

Remorse by [livejournal.com profile] michelel72
Gen; PG; AU of "48 Hours"; Characters: Rodney plus Sam, Daniel, supporting SG-1; 18,500 words
Summary: The truest punishment Sam knows is guilt … and she knows McKay doesn't feel that. Yet.

I love stories that explore the way Rodney's character evolved over the course of both series. This story uses one of my favorite story tropes to do that - Rodney finds himself in the body of his past self - and it explores that premise in really fascinating ways. It all feels very *real*. You get drawn into Rodneys head, and feel at times as trapped there as he does. The story gripped me completely. Not to miss!
