Summary: At the age of eighteen Kate Sharma, after sending a desperate letter to her father's homeland, receives aid in the form of a letter from Lady Danbury who has arranged a match for the young woman. With only a letter, a promise and hope, Kate takes her mother and sister and sails to England where she is to marry Lord Anthony Bridgerton.

Reccer's Notes: I really enjoyed this take on how Kate and Anthony might have met when they were younger, and all the changes it would have brought.

This is a bundle of material for Runecairn from By Odin's Beard, a one player / one GM game system based on Norse legend, plus We Deal in Lead, a weird west gunfighter RPG based on the same rules-set, and a quickstart primer for their new game of serial killer investigation, Midnight of the Century.

Due to travelling over the weekend and losing all my passwords and email access (thanks, Apple and Google), I have to apologise for the delay in posting this one. I've still got 80+ emails to deal with and lots of other things to sort out so I haven't really looked at this in any detail. It looks pretty cheap and is probably worth a look if you like one on one play.

Pairings/Characters: Jaster Mereel/Jon Antilles

Theme: arranged marriage, novel-length, epic works, worldbuilding, psychic powers, never met in canon, marriage of convenience, cultural differences, AU, fork in the road.

Summary: A week after an attack that nearly killed him and his son, Jaster Mereel finds Mostross dead on a battlefield. His killer is a Jedi, grievously wounded, who Jaster takes into his care. By Mandalorian tradition, Jon Antilles owes him a life-debt, and Jaster is cunning enough not to let such a thing slip away.

It's meant to be an entirely political arrangement. It doesn't stay that way for long.

Reccer's Notes: Blackkat is a very prolific author who does an excellent job of taking medium-obscure Star Wars characters and doing really interesting things with them. Jaster Mereel is Jango Fett's adoptive father, and the Mandalore. (In canon, he was killed by Montross.) Jon Antilles is a Jedi who was abused by his Master growing up, but also learned some really obscure and difficult Force tricks from her, and spends his life wandering the galaxy alone as the Force wills. You don't have to know much more than that, as blackkat weaves a really interesting story about them, fleshing them both out deeply from what canon gives us.

To The Words
by W.S. Merwin

When it happens you are not there

oh you beyond numbers
beyond recollection
passed on from breath to breath
given again
from day to day from age
to age
charged with knowledge
knowing nothing

indifferent elders
indispensable and sleepless

keepers of our names
before ever we came
to be called by them

you that were
formed to begin with
you that were cried out
you that were spoken
to begin with
to say what could not be said

ancient precious
and helpless ones

say it

Title: Dating Dominoes

Rec Category: Humor

Warnings: None

Characters: Teyla Emmagan, Rodney McKay, John Sheppard

Relationships: Teyla Emmagan & Rodney McKay, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Laura Cadman/Ronon Dex

Categories: Slash, het, humor

Word Count: 3765

Author's Journal:

Author's Website on AO3

Link: Dating Dominoes

Author Summary: Teyla didn’t often lose her head. As a leader of her people, and an Ambassador for Atlantis, it was required of her to be calm, diplomatic and rational.

But, well. Everyone has their moments.

Why this must be read: It's a fun short story. WonkyElk always write in a whimsical, fun style. I especially like her Teyla in this and how she makes an impulsive decision to pretend she is dating Rodney to appease an Aunt-like character. I love how Rodney just decides to go along with it, with actually no context. John's jealous. It's a fun feelings admission story with a lot of chaos and silliness.

Show: SGA

Rec Category: Humor

Characters: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Ronon Dex, Teyla Emmagan

Pairing: None (gen)

Categories: gen, humor, whump

Warnings: None (although it is in its nature political if that bothers you)

Words: 20,256

Author's Journal:

Author's Website on AO3

Link: Cold as Ice

Author's Summary: The SGA team explore an icy planet, looking for a secret underground lab. It’s icy cold place and things go badly from the start. The team gets separated - McKay and Sheppard fall into a cave, while Ronon and Teyla need to deal with some troublesome characters.

Why this must be read: This story is strange and zany. It starts out as a whump fic with the challenge "F Ice" and it does make a caricature of the security force. NotTasha writes in the format of write 15 minutes at a time and to not worry where the story goes. So by the end, the story goes off the rails in the best ways. There is a singing mechanical duck creature that infuriates McKay with its singing. It was so much fun to just get to laugh and laugh with this story that started out so whumptastic.
