fic recs [SGA]
Okay, I keep babbling on about climbing but at least I'm putting it behind a cut. We went to the climbing center again tonight, me and two friends. (check it out! Neat, y/y?) I tried a 5er route for the first time and made it almost to the top, except I couldn't get the topmost grip. So I tried again, failed again. Maybe next week. The cool thing about climbing, if you stick with it, the routes that seem unsurmountable one week will become doable the next. Today we mostly climbed 4 and 5er. We plan to skip next week (because we're not 25 any more and have to take care of our bodies, grumble) but week after I want to tackle my first overhang. I made an attempt today, but after almost two hours of climbing my arms just wouldn't cooperate. The trick, we learned, is to tackle the trickiest routes right after the warm-up, while you're still at full strength, because the strenght fades quickly still.
Did I mention you get a really good endorpine rush from all this? Really. Good.
I also had two glasses of wine. I may be a little high right now.

If You Wrong Us, Shall We Not Revenge? by Jem
Gen; PG-13, possibly R (for violence); Characters: Bill Lee, Jeannie, Teyla, Rodney; 30,000 words
written for sga_genficathon, Prompt: Artificial Intelligence
Summary: Bill just couldn't leave her like that . . . but enlisting Jeannie Miller's help was a mistake. A mistake, because McKay was definitely going to kill him when he discovered the mess—well, mortal danger—Bill had gotten his sister into. Yeah. He was definitely a dead man. As soon as he managed to escape himself, that is. Of course, Bill really needn't have worried, because Jeannie, her brother, and Teyla were a little distracted by body swapping and explosions and terrorist attacks and the terrible question of what, exactly, constitutes human rights . . .
This is a really intriguing story that combines an engrossing plot and excellent characterization with ethical and philosophical musings... Science-fiction of the best kind. (Check out Jem's other fic as well; s/he's an amazing writer.)

I really like the portrayal of Jennifer here, and it's good to see glimpses of her relationship with Teyla and Ronon... and with Atlantis.

By the time she's comparing her mother's chicken and noodles—unfavorably, mind you—to the mess hall's bird-like and ersatz-noodle substitute, the vacation is definitely over.

Thanks for the recs, I don't know why I don't read more gen stories, I usually end up loving them.

Oh, wow, that wall looks really impressive!
Cool, eh? :) We're still climbing in the right part, with top-stops; that's for beginners. I don't know how long until we'll be ready for the left part of the wall with the multiple overhangs but I'm itching, I'm telling ya. It's really fun. Last week I bought proper climbing shoes, those made a noticable difference.
