Open letter to Sentinel fans...

[moonlettuce]

Dear Sentinel fandom,

Please stop referring to Desperate Housewives as DH. Because whenever you comment that "Ooh! Richard Burgi was in DH again last night!", my mental image is something *way* different than to what you probably mean...

kthxbi!

Claire

*rolls around laughing hysterically*

I'll inform my mom we can't use the DH abbreviation anymore because of your mental images.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Yes! You must! *nods*

*grin*

I'm sad to report there was no Richard Burgi in DH tonight.

Except for the titles. Do those count?

*g* And again, I saw the same thing, and my mind went the same place... which is not without the pretty, but!

Crossover from Hell! And also, rps, which is bad and wrong and wrong and bad. Yes, it is. Hmm... *nods*

There's got to be fic in that, really.

So, John gets trapped underground for a few days and when he comes out everything's louder, brighter, more colourful, more there. And the only thing that seems to ground him is the sound of Rodney's heartbeat.

And Carson's tried every test he can think of, but he just doesn't know what's going on. Doesn't know, until one of the biologists remembers a press conference given by a guy at the university she went to. Remembers a guy by the name of Blain SomethingOrOther saying that he lied about his thesis. Lied about these things called Sentinels. Sentinels, with heightened senses who look after the tribe.

And Rodney just snorts, because, looking after everyone, that's Sheppard down to the ground. And wouldn't it be just like Colonel BetterAtEverythingThanYou to go and have heightened senses. Heightened senses, totally fuckable and a natural gene. Like someone looked down at John Sheppard when he was born and said, "Yes, that's the one. That's the one we'll give everything to, and fuck the rest of the poor schmucks."

Only John doesn't see this as a gift. Doesn't see it because everything is just too there. because he can't even look at the ocean without losing himself in it. Losing himseld, losing time, losing everything. And, considering they're surrounded by the water, that's a pretty fucking poor thing. So he focuses, tries to find the one thing that will keep everything else from flying away. And he finds it, finds it in Rodney. And isn't that just a joke. That the one person who seems to resent him for all of this is the one person who is stopping stopping him from completely cracking.

*g* Oh, yeah.

Okay, Claire, you've totally convinced me now that you must write a TS/SGA fusion. Keep going, polish it up, and post it, dammit!

*licks you all over*

[goddessleila.livejournal.com]

I agree! I would love to see more of this. Seriosuly.

[alizarin-nyc.livejournal.com]

Amen, to that! It *must* be done. The fandom *requires* it. Plus, it is really good!!!

[carnadosa.livejournal.com]

That would be the best ever. *sighs with the love*

[aretria.livejournal.com]

Totally with you there.

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Hee!

*is licked*

And writing it would be oh so wrong. (Even if Sentinel!Sheppard seems to be kicking my brain...)

part three of the thing i'm not writing...

Carson's keeping Sheppard in the infirmary, unconscious and drugged up and anything to stop the man whimpering whenever he opens his eyes. Elizabeth comes by every day, and she's starting to look at Carson like he should know something, should be able to fix this. But Carson's run every test he can think of. Blood work and brain scan and a thousand other tests with a thousand other instruments and he keeps coming up blank. So Elizabeth stop by and Lorne all but takes over the military side of things and Rodney just looks at John for a brief moment and then walks out. And Carson watches him. Watches as Rodney walks out and Sheppard's vitals spike and it all starts again.

Rodney knows where he's going, head down and feet resolute and god help anyone who tries to stop him. Dr Jane Michaels looks at him when he walks into her lab, eyes questioning and solicitous at the same time. So Rodney sits down, sits down and tells her to explain everything. Because when she'd said heightened senses, Rodney had had the thought of Superman and Sheppard being able to look through walls and hear a pin drop on the other side of the city. He didn't think it involved watching Sheppard's too still form as it lay in an infirmary bed. Didn't think it would involve walking into the infirmary at two in the morning and watching a man that shouldn't be that silent, that still.

Sam Carter blinks when she reads the message from Rodney in the most recent data-burst from Atlantis. Blinks and wonders, but she's had weirder requests from Rodney. It takes some doing, but finally - finally - Blair Sandburg's dissertation is scrolling on the monitor in front of her. It's rough and not completely finished, and she had to exhume it from a mountain of red tape, but wings and knowledge and the background of having saved the world several times over goes a long way. So she bundles that, and the other information she's managed to get, into the next set of messages she sends through. Sends it, and hopes Rodney can find what he needs.

Our General Manager has the initials DH and whilst it's not the heady heights of confusion (and sick & wrong RPS thoughts), it still makes me smile. La di da.

(also, Joe would CRY!)

*grin* I found a Mr J Shepperd on our work system a few days ago. (Spelled with the second 'e', unfortunately. I was so tempted to change it *g*)
