Fic: And Be One Traveler (Link to full)
Title: And Be One Traveler
Authors: [info]amireal and [info]trinityofone
Rating: NC-17 for sexual situations and adult content
Length: 69,294 words



Excerpt: Sheppard shrugged off the reference. "Are you any good?"

"At acting?" David asked, eyebrow raised. "I keep getting jobs, which I suppose means something."

"Be McKay," Sheppard said. "I want to see."

David frowned and then slowly his posture changed, shoulders reaching out and back, hands loosening up, eyes narrowing. "Shouldn't you be off somewhere attempting to plan or strategize or something? I mean I can understand the urge to rely on my amazing intellect but even I am not above a completely unneeded backup plan."

Sheppard's eyes bugged out more than just a little. “Okay, okay, stop,” he said, and David leaned again against the railing, his body relaxing, his lips quirking inevitably upward into a smirk.

Oddly, he thought Sheppard's reaction was one of the best compliments he had ever received.

“No, really, you can stop,” Sheppard said.

David blinked. “Oh, right, the smugness. No, right now, that’s all me.”

Sheppard looked like he couldn’t decide between being disturbed and amused, which seemed about right.

“You’re not what I would have expected,” he said, after a minute. “I mean, not that I would have expected any of this.”



How to find the story and why: The story is posted in several places all of which are reachable through [info]fic_of_doom. All posts are locked, as we would rather not have it indexable by search engine, but membership is open to everyone. The website requires a username and password. All you have to do is join the community and go to this post (the index) and all the information you could ever need will be there.

As a thank you for spending extra time and effort to get to this fic, we've decided to offer it in as many formats possible as well as cover art and an pretty shiny webpage to find it all.

On the index page (linked here) you will find an extended set of headers as well as a different excerpt so that you can more fully make an informed decision about reading this story."

ETA: If you have joined the community and still aren't authorised to see the entries, try logging out and logging back in. That's actually a livejournal quirk that's always been there.

Am I thick? I've joined the community, but when I go to the index I get an http protocol website, nothing that looks like an actual index.

Did you FRIEND the community or join it?

If you hit the link on the word 'membership' you'll be on the page to join.

The problem with posting fic this long is that you then have to OMGWAIT.

Dude, apparently I flew through it, because I have the first comment, and I've never gotten to a fic before everyone else, and now I know everyone will see my gushy comment after finishing and I feel a bit wierd. I had to come back here and make certain that you didn't accidentally post the link to it early and then realise and delete the post, leaving me the only person to know about the fic and read/review gushingly.

But now I've read comments to this and feel better with the knowledge that soon there will be other rambly comments following mine. Which is good, because it's currently feeling a bit lonesome out there. *g*

But yes, to summarise it: OMGSOMUCHLOVE.

Hee.

No, it's just LONG fic. It tends to get shelved for when people have more time and stuff.

*pets* I did not retract it, no worries!

The story features a real person along with the familiar SGA characters; I'm more comfortable with my RPF being unavavilable for indexing/direct linking.

No, it is possible to reach the website from a direct HTML link, I just wasn't ready to post it live on livejournal.

I'll post a second comment and then delete it with the url.

I have a question with regards to your warnings: This story, is in the strictest sense, RPS. However, personally I feel that it really sits in a category between genres. I'm just wondering why you don't consider it RPS? It has real people in it, isn't it RPS by default? I have read the story and I'm just curious as to why you're hesitant to label it as this.

That's a tough question to answer and it really comes of long drawn out conversations.

Mostly because while technically it is, part of me feels that by bringing in the fantastical element and making it PART of the show, it's not quite that anymore. It also became this huge metaphorical arc to us and David no longer was this character the way we really see characters. Sort of.


I-- have lost the words to explain it better than that sadly. I hope that made some sense, if not, poke me and in the cold light of day I'll revisit some of those conversations a bit.

Help! I've joined the community, logged out and back in again, cleared my cookies, temp files and history, and still it says that I'm not authorized to view the entry! *Sob*

I went through the members list, and it does show me as a member, so I don't know what to do next...

This is the only RPS I've ever read, mostly because it almost starts to cross that line between fantasy and invasion of privacy for me, but this was really amazing. Heartbreaking ending, really. *fangirls all over you*
