nnyOH YES
I was all like 'what shall we do tonight, brain?' and my brain was like 'how the fuck should I know?' and then![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cesperanza posted a new story! ROCK ON!
Also, new meme. Like the lyrics meme, except it's my favourite lines from McShep fic. (Of course, often the fics are good enough that it's just one of my favourite lines.) Winners get a cookie, or a drabble, or something. :D [and I've just realised I could actually do this forever, so. Ten OF my favourites, dammit.]
1.John yawned. "That's not what's funny."
Oblivious byastolat, guessed by abscondinabox, sociofemme, maggiebloome & havenstar.
2.“Shh,” said Rodney. “In a second I’m going to think about what I’m doing. But the last twenty minutes were up there with the worst in my life, and I think I deserve a few minutes doing whatever the hell I want to.”
The Hostage Major byfrostfire_17, guessed by abscondinabox
3.It’s strange, Rodney thinks, how empty musicians’ hands often look when they’re not holding their instruments.
String Theory bytoft_froggy, guessed by sandrainthesun, beadattitude & havenstar
4."My point is, they'd be embarrassed to do something as boring as this. If Ferguson carries through with her threat of painting my room with a mural of My Little Ponies being eaten by Cthulhu as an allegory of how I crush all independent thought among my subordinates, I will punish her mercilessly."
About a Lamp byflambeau, guessed by abscondinabox & zoetrope
5."And you just wanted to be with me that badly," Rodney sneered, his mouth twisted into an incredulous, disbelieving shape.
"Fuck you," John said. Rodney didn't try to stop him when he left.

6....and he doesn't know who looks more surprised, Elizabeth or Rodney, who's staring at him like he's broken all the laws of physics.
Kid A bycesperanza, guessed by zoetrope, crysothemis & havenstar
7.Prickly Rodney who was suddenly soft against his side, fingers scrabbling in his hair and warm mouth high on his damp cheekbone, whispering, "Sorry, I'm sorry," over and over again.
What Happens In The Clubhouse byskoosiepants, guessed by beadattitude & torakowalski
8.If he could get ahold of Rodney's palmtop, John thought, it had probably recorded exactly when Rodney had input his e-mail address, and so he'd be able to backdate about three seconds to the exact moment, as well. He didn't know why the thought was comforting, but it sort of was.
Small Primes And Square Roots byliviapenn, guessed by abscondinabox, flyakate & havenstar
9."So," replied Rodney. "See you in the space program." He reached out to shake the hand that was still map-free. "Or, alternatively, in a shack on a beach somewhere. Depending on the workings of chance, of course."
Hands-on Science bynindulgence, guessed by abscondinabox & maggiebloome
10. And it’s Rodney, John thinks brokenly, reaching down to pat at the short soft hair, all his instincts flooded and submerged. It’s Rodney, thank fuck.

Date: 2008-04-09 08:38 pm (UTC)That's the one in which Rodney is a conductor and John is a violinist-wunderkind and Rodney writes something and wants John to play it and he does and they fall in love and Rodney has agoraphobia (or someother kind of phobia) and I don't remember the name. *g*
I'm looking forward to the conclusion because I so want to read this fics now.

9. um. I think it's that one where John is on a school field trip to a science museum in Ontario, and he meets Rodney, and they totally hit it off and have geeky adventures? And then Rodney sneakily undermines John's desire to remain an underachiever by sending a letter to his teachers?
All of these stories are waaaaa~y up there on my favorites/I've-read-them again-and-again list.

Date: 2008-04-10 04:51 am (UTC)#2 dude, I love your username.
#3 also, clearly, you have awesome taste in fanfic. :D
no subject
Date: 2008-04-10 05:31 am (UTC)#2 Thank you! *blushes* "Abscond" is possibly my favorite word ever.
#3 I could most certainly say the same about you! I was reading that list and going, "wow! Wow wow wow! I love these fics!" and just being absurdly excited, which is pretty much what lured me (briefly) out of lurkerdom.

Date: 2008-04-11 05:58 am (UTC)I was also thinking your fic quote might've been from "99 Brilliant But Irritable Scientists on the Wall" but it wasn't that, either. HELL. This really should not be so tricky considering how easy the rest seemed to be!

no subject
Date: 2008-04-12 04:24 am (UTC)You should absolutely do it again, it's such a huge fandom with so many great, memorable lines. I bet you could do it two or three times over, really.
