luciazephyrEveryone else ignore this. It's for my author.
Luce's Running Thoughts While Reading MSP11: LfaPI
So, where’d the waxing poetic title come from, midear? *curious* Fitting opening poem, as usual. If you really read it, it gives away the entire main plot. Do you pick the poetry first or write the fic first?
Hee. Hiro kicking Rodney’s ass at go is funny. I know he’ll rapidly get better, but I like to see Hiro metaphorically bap him when he’s distracted.
Gee, Terrance; a man who is a southern gentleman, wears a fedora, and has a walking cane. What’s next, my author? Are you gonna set huge snakes loose in Atlantis or perhaps lock them in a system of boxes with a prime-not-prime game? Stick Radek up a tree for two days? (Bravo to everyone who caught the jokes.) *smirks*
…Terr reminds me of myself when I'm with friends. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing though. *laughs*
"None for you tonight, Beckett," Hee, yeah, right. Rodney hasn’t got that much self-control. Hell, this is Carse we’re talking about; who does? *jumps Carse*
Okay, my secondary OTP is so Radek/Rodney. Or at least my friendship OTP. They are so great. I notice Rodney takes very few of his scientists seriously. Radek, I notice, he does. Remember The Siege II? They were talking and no insults. That’s like… big for Rodney.
Gaul walked into the TNC? *blink* Who all knows about the group? I doubt the meetings are broadcast around the base unless they’re setting up a night in the Hydroponics room.
“If you aren’t being devoured by Wraith…” *strangles Mice*
Rodney needs to stop being jealous. There’s a reason he was given such a huge scientific team. Other people are allowed to do things.
… Does anyone like Kavanagh?
Rodney is looking prime recently. God bless offworld missions. *pokes his new biceps*
Okay, Gaul saying “fuckwad” should not amuse me so much. *decends into snickers* He such a scared little geek with motion sickness and he slips out words like that? Heh.
And we get to the most shocking moment in SG history. Stargate is, by nature, a fairly happy, light-hearted show. You may not understand since you’re new to the fandom, but things like this don’t happen in SG. It wasn’t the act that shocked the fen, but the fact that it happened on our happy show. SGA is much darker than SG1 and I love that. The TPTB are letting us grow a bit in our show.
Balconies, ne? They have a thing for public places? Really though, I imagine the city is stunning from a high balcony at nightfall. I'd move to Atlantis in one hot second.
Tread lightly, my author. Too much Rodney!angst is dangerous. Readers might not get just how much pressure he’s under. He runs the entire science divison, is part of the numero uno team, and pulls more weight than most people. His attitude in this fic is dead on, but I wonder if others will understand that.
Music room sounds pretty, with the stained glass and such. Very calming.
Rodney Nightmares, take two. Carse should slip him something to stop them. Don’t MDs have something for it?
*baps you* You and your other fandom. And Radek is short, in a “aww, lookit him!” kinda way. Erin is an anomaly. She’s so weird. *pets her*
Ah, the Japanese chica. Poor delusional thing. But it’s nice to know someone in canon wants to jump our dear Canadian’s bones.
*beats up Kavanagh* Stupid blighter. He’s so unsympathetic and doesn’t care Gaul and Abrams are gone. Heh, I wonder what cool, creative punishment Rodney had in mind before Carse interrupted. He has lots of cool ones.
I suddenly want to make a map of Atlantis’s main area. Like where medical is, the control center, where the two main hallways go, staff quarters, etc.
It strikes me now that the conversations in MSP sound straight out of SGA. I mean, if the TPTB were openly slashers and did this OTP.
Heh, previous fear of Carse’s needles resurfaces from MSP10. I adore subtle running jokes.
Peter grips about his job … What is his job? Weir’s technical assistant or something?
Ew, turnips. Hee, Siwicki has hot sauce. Why am I not surprised? Hm, seems Geoff the Kinky One has a weak stomach.
I’m guessing, from Carson’s exhaustion, you could tell easily if either of the two weren’t sleeping. They both sleep or neither do. *pets the poor sleepless boys*
Mmmm, showers. *chuckles*
Ah, Bentz is sorry. Not sure I forgive her; Carse and Radek’s injuries were her fault. I’m sure others would sugar-coat it with “you didn’t know it’d get them hurt”, but honestly, if she was silent, nothing would have happened.
Sheppard needs his own hospital bed. With a CD player and some books. He’s gonna get bored, yo.
God, you entertained the idea of killing Radek! You’ve jinxed us! *waves arms* He’s gonna be red-shirted! *wibble* Aww, everyone knows Rodney is important. He’d either be more egotistical or he’d feel touched. And I agree, in case of Rodney going missing/getting offed (like that’ll ever happen), Radek takes over.
I was wondering what they were doing with the bodies. *bows head* I suppose they’re wanting to bring the bodies back for burial and services… but damn.
Aww, Sheppard’s flirting with Grodin. I like this a lot. He should flirt though he doesn’t swing that way. It’s his way of acceptance. After all, he is the Shepwhore and eyes up everyone in every show. In one scene with Chaya, he eyed her up five times. I counted. My friend and I were bawling with laughter.
Peter and his English politeness. *tsks*
*gets teary-eyed* You killed me with Rodney’s meltdown. Just one little thing and it was all too much. It’s scary that such a person could break like that and so severely. He was fully hysterical. I was afraid for Carse too. It really shook me up. Amazing, really, how attached we may become to fictional personas if they’re created like a real person. *shakes head* Tore apart the pipes and shattered the mirror. Who would have guessed he was so destructive. He’s such a distraught person and wound far too tightly. I really wanted Carson to just tackle him and restain him in some way. It was unnerving as hell.
On the happy note; Yay! Heightmeyer isn’t evil anymore! I guess you forgave since you saw The Gift? And this fic… it kinda explains why he goes to her. Probably a medical order. I didn’t notice until I re-read this, but… Yeah. Nice job, midear.
... New quarters? Uh… why? Geoff and Radek live together. Why not our boys too?
See! Cane + Fedora + Southern Gentleman = hidden joke!
Muscle strain. Ouch. *gives Carson cookies and Irn Bru* Such a sweetheart. Always so calm and comforting. Gah, Kate has such bad timing! *baps her*
Poor Carson. His feet must be murdering him. Yay! H/C!
omfg, THE KISS! Major Straighty McBreederson kissing Grodin made my day. Poor Terrance though. I feel really sorry for him. Heh, I like Sheppard ulterior motive, to find out where he stands on his orientation. Aw, poor Peter. *pats him*
God, I love Thrusdays. omfg, old 50’s music! *squees so loud* Now to get Rodney a piano and give DeLancie a break. *nudgenudgewinkwinkhinthint!!!*
**Final Thoughts**
Piano!
I can't wait for MSP12! Carson will break down with the whole epidemic thing. And I want the home conversation. Those are my demands. *tries to look scary*
I adored Radek in this fic. Just such a great character.
Powerful tale this time around, midear. And the sideplot of Grodin and Hill (who reminds me entirely too much of myself at times) offset the depressing main plot. Excellent thing, cause all-angst isn't fun.

Date: 2005-02-07 11:54 am (UTC)We'll definitely be getting more of the Radek/Rodney vibe as MSP continues. They're too damned cute together to do otherwise. I love Zelenka.
Gaul might not have known the specifics of the TNC, but there are enough people stopping by Zelenka and Osbourne's place every Thursday night that if somebody asked "Where's McKay" it's likely someone would know he was at Zelenka's place for the weekly party.
Well, I'm sure *somebody* likes Kavanagh. I just haven't decided whom yet.
The whole balconies thing -- just places to talk and be alone and have some nice views. Not necessarily that anybody's fucking like bunnies on them. Necessarily...
I'm pleased you think the conversations sound like "real" SGA dialogue. I try hard to get the characters in character. Also, I'm the king of subtle continuity whenever possible. I love carrying little things from story to story in a series.
Rodney's meltdown was one of the hardest scenes to write. Aby finally said "remember, this kind of thing is just like writing a sex scene -- buildup, climax, wind down" or words to that effect. The idea helped a lot, and I'm pretty damned good at the sex scenes.
I'm liking flirty!Shep. He's fun. Poor Peter, though. Never gonna have his woobie. However, it does seem that he may be having a little threesome action behind the scenes with Geoff and Radek. ;)
Yeah, I saw The Gift and realized that the whole "Rodney's seeing her" wasn't what the spoilers made it sound like, so I can forgive her and move on.
Thank you thank you for your lovely discussion of what you're enjoying in the stories! It always helps me figure out how to improve my next story. See ya in IRC!
