Some of the fics I've read and loved lately (with added vid recs)

SG-1

"Maybe it was Memphis" by princessofg (Daniel/Jack, NC-17, AU, WIP)
A delicious series that's a WIP, but the chapters don't end with cliffhangers (although they do leave me yearning for more, so the 'tbc' at the end of each chapter is no teaser but a bliss). It's an AU where Jack is a pilot, Daniel works at a university and they meet in a Jazz-club. There's instant mutual attraction, a one night stand turns into a weekend spend together, turns slowly into more. I love the pace of this series, the way it makes me feel what they're feeling, the anticipation, the sizzling hot sex and the romance.

"Five ways Daniel improves Atlantis" by findo (Jack/Daniel and John/Rodney, PG)
A ficlet that made me snigger, warmed my heart and made me happy happy.

The Office

Of course I want Jim and Pam to get together, but part of the attraction is that there's all this longing and sexual tension while they're not together. Fics where they actually get together are often a bit disappointing to me. I figured that for sex to work in fics, it should be about their fantasies. It turns out phone-sex fics work beautifully for me. First when it's done secretly without the other knowing, then when they suspect something and next knowingly and on purpose. And once I'm in the mood, I'm up for them to take it to real life too.

"Insatiate #11" by voleuse (Jim/Pam, R)
This is set on the evening when Pam just gets home from the Dundies. Pam calls Jim while still a bit drunk and with an itch.

"Phone call" by Anonymous (Jim/Pam, NC-17)
Set somewhere shortly into season 3. They've fallen into the habit of calling each other and each time they take it a bit further.

"Vox" by sophia_helix (Jim/Pam, NC-17)
This fic is inspired by the first two and takes that final step. It pushed all my buttons in all the right ways.

Untitled ficlet by melloniel (Jim/Karen, PG-13)
It's only fair that Karen should also get some, and when she gets it, it should be good. With Jim big and warm and smiling fondly, all for her.

Stargate Atlantis

"All these places we have met" by toft_froggy (John/Rodney, NC-17)
John trying to draw Rodney out of an endless AU loop and each time having to start all over again. A rollercoaster ride of emotions and by the way a stunning job by the writer, to come up with all these different stories. Two warnings though: don't read when you're already feeling melancholic and keep tissues handy.

"Running mate" by lamardeuse (John/Rodney, NC-17)
I love it when Rodney on the one hand can't believe his luck, and on the other hand has his pride hurt so easily. When he can be so oblivious even when he's so clever. When all's well that ends well.

"Junk cheap" by devildoll (John/Rodney, AU, R)
I seem to have a thing for long AU's where John determinedly seduces a reluctant Rodney... Especially when he succeeds so thoroughly.

"A whole world of trouble" by sheafrotherdon (John/Rodney, AU, NC-17)
Yeah, definitely a thing for long AU's where John determinedly etc... Equally as delicious as the one directly above.

The Sentinel

"Reasoning" by janedavitt (Jim/Blair, NC-17)

A thoroughly spanked and satisfied Blair reassures a slightly reluctant Jim. Afterglow that makes me hot.

SGA vids

"My brilliant idea" by lim (John/Rodney)
downloadable (the first one)
streaming on Imeem (but you'll miss details as this is a smaller version)

I'm weird. I'm always suspicious of vids that are technically fantastic, because I often feel the vidder has put more thought and effort than feeling in the vid, if you get my meaning. Anyway, Lim's vid is stunningly clever and brimful of feelings. I keep coming back to it, because I get all 'See?! It's canon; Rodney is so in love with John.' And it makes waiting for season 4 a little more bearable. Somewhat (god, I'm aching for new sga. Shut up, it's going to be good *cantwaitcantwaitcantwait*).

"Something there" by samus_mcaslan (Rodney/Katie)
A video that makes me giggle every time. They're awkward and cute, the song is an surprisingly fitting pick and the bit where everybody in Atlantis comments on their relationship is particularly hilarious.

"Revelation" by moonmip and dulthar (John/Rodney)
Completely hilarious audio 'fic'! All the audio clips used for this are taken from sga episodes and put together in a decidedly naughty way. It works even if you've never seen an episode, although it's of course funniest when you have. I'll never watch certain scenes the same again! ('So... *velcro rip* shall we get started?')

"Evening on the ground" by hollywoodgrrl (John)
This clip is about John, and how the responsibility he feels for every loss and failure is haunting him. It has the same nervous and thrilling feel as her vid "Right here, right now" (although I think that one is better as far as editing and timing goes, and which is one of the most exciting sga team clips I've ever seen, but I don't think it's available online anymore which you can find here.)

Also, it was one of your recs that put me on the trail of devildoll, so thanks for that.
