fic recs (x-posted from stargategenrec):
Hero for a New Age by smittywing
gen; PG; characters: Ronon Dex, Rodney McKay, Atlantis cast; 11,600 words

Terrific friendship fic with spot-on voices. Ronon and Rodney bonding over Superhero comics: While Ronon gets caught up on Batman & Co, we in turn get to see glimpses of Satedan culture and tales. I usually don't have that much interest in superhero lore but it's the absolutely perfect angle here!

Figurative Hell And Literal High Water by tipper_green
Characters: Keller, Rodney, Teyla, Sheppard, Ronon
Spoilers: Missing (this takes place after Missing but before This Mortal Coil).
gen (with a teensy hint of Rodney/Jennifer UST); PG; 36,000 words; written for sga_genficathon
Summary: Rodney's desperate to save his team, and Keller's just trying to keep up, on a planet where hurricanes can last for days.

why rec'd: A descriptive and action-filled adventure story with a fantastic Keller POV that does the character justice. She gets a chance to shine in this one, with nature throwing obstacle after obstacle at them, and Sheppard's team lying injured (really well-written h/c, too). It's much fun to see Rodney and Jennifer play off each other.

This fic put me in a happy mood and left me with a yen for more Keller-centric fic.

btw and speaking of Keller, is there an LJ feed for Jewel Staite's blog?

Anyway, a day off will maybe translate into one more page of comic. Maybe. Yes. Provided I can find my sketch pad in the stacks of papers. I guess I should start the day by bringing a little order into this chaos.
