finally...

[lyssie]

Finished Coconut Island, which went places I really wasn't expecting.
SG-1 Sam/Jack leanings, set in a future season, and contains spoilers for Season 8 of SG-1 and season 1 of Atlantis. It's also long.

Whee! Much to the goodness.

Really, I liked this a lot. Especially the ahh.. courtship in the middle. Jack and Sam stumbling through.

*applauds*

Well done. More!

*eyes icon* Depends, is there sex involved?

Hee. Thanks. And, uh. They would. Because they are idiots that way (even if I can happily believe they have lots of sex, otherwise).

*eg*

Cuz I have to get some of this unsmutty economic shit finished tonight, I had to read it superfast (::liek ate it with gusto::)....and oy. THE ACHE IN MY HEART. You are teh evil, yo. ::loves you forever:: Great crossoverness and deathness and angst and love and sex and babies. Delightful structure too.

Poor baby Jacob. ::hugs him&selmak::

*scritches* Poor you. Have a cookie.

*loves back* Thank you. :)

And, yeah. Jacob is pouting at me. *pats him*

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

Eeeh. My fault anyway. ::eats cookie and coo's::

Gaaawwwddd, I have to get my shit together so I can read your fics slower and taste them, not go "OMFG THIS IS WONDERFUL ::GULP::"...right? :)

Jacob is such a sweetie. The end of Death Knell KILLLLLLLLLLLLLED ME. Jesus.

Reading slowly might be a good plan, yes.... Do... *handwave* Things. Get shit together, and stuff.

And I like Jacob. Even if he currently isn't speaking to me.

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

Right. But sleep first. Then work. Then play? ::must get priorities straight::

Jacob = <3

That was maybe the best long fic I've read in a long, long time (too many 'long's? Maybe. I don't care.)

I *like* that there's such a sense of backstory, that these aren't the same characters we see on the show right now. I like that I can still see who they used to be.

I loved that Sam being preganant wasn't a joyous, gooey event filled with baby showers and streamers and Jack handing out bubble gum cigars but did work out to be a happy, good thing.

I like that Sam and Jack tried with the making out and it didn't work the first time. I like that the sex kinda sucked in the beginning but they were *in* the relationship enough to keep trying. I liked that there was no smut (even though you do *great smut*) because I think the story was more powerful without it.

I liked that even though we didn't get much Teal'c, he was still one of the main personas in the story, was the actual reason a lot of things happened.

Oh! And I loved Davis marrying Sarah. There are *so* many unspoken complications there, and just a hint of something sinister, what with the speedy promotions and the marrying a former goa'uld and what not. Hmm.

I liked that ending up in Atlantis became more than a plot point because now they've got a little ancient baby their in the guise of the SamnJack spawn and that's a cool idea.

Thank you. That was such a good read (and not just because the baby got my name. Lt. Elliot my ass)

Hee!
I loved that Sam being preganant wasn't a joyous, gooey event filled with baby showers and streamers and Jack handing out bubble gum cigars but did work out to be a happy, good thing.

I'm still highly disturbed that I wrote babyfic. But I can't ever see it being a happy sappy occasion for them. (although I'm still cackling that Jack missed the birth) As for the rest of the relationship stiff, I think a lot of that is LR/Aj's fault. Plus my roommate who keeps saying "I can't really see them actually together". And the convention of silence and special connections only go so far if you don't ever actually talk. Even if the talking is about inconsequential trivialities.

The Davis/Sarah thing surprised me, but it plays into something I'm going to have to sit down and think about. I'd like to do something further with the Tok'ra/jaffa/etc. I'm just not sure what yet.

Atlantis was also a left field thing. (actually, I think my original plan went: after months of trying, they're in a relationship... and the world explodes) (plus, the other thing is that, if they are on Earth, no matter what, the NID/etc are going to want the kid... because of Jack's special genes and Sam's naquadah, etc. erm. In my head, anyway)

*smooches*
Thank you. :)
And. Dude. I wanted the kid to be a boy so I could name him Elliot, but then I got distracted and couldn't decide on sex and A.j. (who is on a Law and Order: SVU kick) suggesed Olivia Elliot... And I objected, but then hit on the fabulous alternative... ;)

I loved it! Left you a review at ff.net so I won't go into it all here. :)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

That was *awesome*, Lyss. I danced when I got to the end of page one and realised there were CHAPTERS and it wasn't stopping for while. *g*

I loved so many things about it. I adored the premise (and not just because of Atlantis and Shep and Weir, promise). I loved the awkwardness between Sam and Jack - Like elly said, I liked how not everything in their relationship was perfect. I loved all the character interaction - Daniel, Pete, Jacob - even Sarah all rang true.

Awesome, awesome. Fabulous.

And, yeah, I'll shut up now. :D

I'm going to kill this browser...

sigh. Trying this again. Thank you.

(and. Hee. I'm glad you were bouncy and happy about there being chapters...)

I'm glad you liked the Atlantis and many things. And the awkwardness (as I said to Elly) is all because I don't think it would be easy and simple and perfect with them.

*smooches*

And you don't have to stop talking on my account. ;)
