SGA fic: more Pern-fic! oh noes!

[xparrot]

So I'm supposed to be working on my story for sga_genficathon, but after a bit of a rough start on that, I went and wrote this instead. Oops?

It's a sequel to On the Wings of Imagination, aka Rodney's accidental Impression, aka the SGA/Pern fusion AU of DOOM. (Not, mind, the sequel I intended to write, which will go somewhere between that first story and this one). As such, warnings for a bit of crack, and h/c, and also cute overload. Seriously, I fear I've been writing too much angst lately, and this happened as some kind of reaction. Diabetics beware.

SGA: With Healing in His Wings {~6,900 words}
PG; SGA/Pern fusion, h/c, fluff
In which a certain bronze-rider and his very special dragon visit a hold, make a couple new friends, and undermine civilization as we know it; and Rodney eats something he shouldn't have.

This is so, so good. I'm over the moon that you decided to continue the series. I love all the little details, and that Rodney's still Rodney, making Miko cry even when he's being nice. The tone of Shepparth's voice is absolutely spot on, and I love Carson calling him 'beastie'. Just perfect.

So much enjoyed, thanks.

*bounces happily*

The title! It's slaying me.

OMG, this whole thing, it's so, so cute. And... gratuitous anaphylactic shock!! That will never get old. Oh, Rodney. With a dragon. And Carson! Eeee~! ♥

Hee - so glad you enjoyed it! ^_^ I've been wanting to do more with this 'verse, but there's so many other things I want to write, too, that I haven't had the time. And this ambushed me, so there you go. The chances are very high there will be more, eventually!

Especially happy you liked Carson's "beastie". Since my other stories are 4th season, this was my first time really writing the good doctor, so...

(now, I just gotta ask - your icon is the greatest thing ever, but where did it come from???)

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

The title's actually a Bible quote - I searched Bartlett's for 'wings' and it fit just too well ^^;

Really, this fandom needs more gratuitous anaphylactic shock!

*grin* It's been doing the rounds of my flist for a while. No-one's sure who made the icon, but this is the original source. It's totally stealable, although I have no idea who to give credit to!

I am SO glad you decided to keep writing these! I love how Sheppard's in character even as a dragon, and I really want to see Rodney convincing Benden and the other weirs that he should still be a Smith. Thanks for writing this!

[amalthia]

I had a blast reading your story.

[winter-elf.livejournal.com]

yay! Pern. I love Pern. Rodney is great - and Sheppard!dragon freaking out - wonderful :) heh. I'm such a sucker for the h/c! Thanks for writing more crack!au :)

I don't know how I missed the first part of this, but somehow I did. And, I love your idea of Sheppard as a dragon (not to mention Rodney his rider). :) Great stories. ♥

[jujuberry136.livejournal.com]

I started to flail even BEFORE reading this.
Now?

Flailing happily! Allergies! "Beastie"! Carson! Miko crying due to Rodney! Rodney undermining civilization as we know it- AGAIN!

Love it, so much! Thanks for writing more.

Yayyyyy! I absolutely loved the first part of this, and so I'm very very very thrilled and overjoyed that you've decided to continue it. And now, selfishly, I really really hope you decide to keep on with this :) :)

[aerynvala.livejournal.com]

You would not believe the happy squeal of delight I made when I saw this post. *giggles*

And this is a lovely, lovely story. You're doing a fabulous job of keeping the SGA characters in character and keeping true to the feel of Pern. Totally awesome. :)

[water-soter.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! This is great, one of the best AU I have read in this fandom, and medieval and dragons, two of my fav things, yay! Not to mention Sheppard and McKay! *big hug* Please write more, you are an incredible writer and I wait anxiously for your every written word. Love this fic, more, please!

Nicholas Deveaux?

This is so awesome I have no words.

Much love.

*spontaneously combusts from the cute*

I'm so glad you revisited this 'verse! Shepparth the drawling, lazy dragon! Miko of Kyohtt Hold! O'Neill and Danielth! XD (Okay, now I can't help imagining Danielth the anthropologist, pacifist dragon, driving his O'Neill NUTS.)

heeee~! Anyway! Obviously, sick, vulnerable Rodney, and worried Sheppar(th) are just about my favorite thing *ever*, and I love Shepparth's gentleness with him and, of course, ripping a hole in the tower to get him out, and terrifying everyone ...! And Carson hearing him (I can't remember from the books, can dragons normally talk to people other than their riders, or is that a Shepparth thing?) and his tolerant-affectionate attitude towards both of them. And the whole thing with Miko and the drawings -- I guessed where it was going, but that's just *neat*, and I love Rodney's typical obliviousness, never having noticed there aren't female Smiths and not taking Miko's "... but I can't!" for an answer.

I am LOVING this. Pern was one of the first long fantasy series I ever got into, and this is just a perfect mash-up.

(Will we ever get to see Shepparth in a mating flight? Maybe with Katie Brown as a junior queen's rider? *grin*)

[shinigrace.livejournal.com]

This is so awesome. Just everything about this is made of awesome. Also, yay Carson calls him beastie. *dies of giggles*

[dr-dredd.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! Rodney's so... Rodney, in any universe! And O'Neill's "Danielth" made me snort coffee. And Carson the Healer Scholar!

I loved the first installment, and this was an excellent sequel. I hope you do more in this AU. The Pern books were my introduction to science fiction, too. :-)

[purna.livejournal.com]

These were great! I read the Pern books like a billion times in middle school, and this brought back a ton of memories. The guys were still so them--even with John as a dragon, sweet.

I want more, dammit

[krysalys.livejournal.com]

I adore the Pern series, and yeah, it was one of the first to get me hooked into fantasy.
Wonderfully written, and I wonder who Rodney might eventually hook up with?
Carson?
Ronon?
Elizabeth?
Miko? No, no, she's too afraid of Shepparth... she needs to develop lots of confidence on her own, yet.
Katie?
Personally, I'm rooting for Carson. Heh.
Please tell me you'll write more in this verse? Pretty please?

Damn you Pern! Why won't you leave me alone?!

Seriously though, I feel bad for the weyrleaders who have to put up with Rodney. And this sentence? Well, almost half, since I'm in the male half, and that'll throw the proportions off just about killed me. This whole thing is awesome and wrong, but mostly awesome.

Oh dear! I don't know how I managed to entirely miss the first one of these, but I nearly died when I saw this post this afternoon. Had to go to the original first. Have just finished that, and it made a great break in a tiring and busy work day. As with everyone else who commented both on the first story and on this one so far, I love how you managed to perfectly maintain Rodney's, Sheppard's, and Teyla's characters and voices in the Pern universe, as well as so totally capture the enchanting feel of Pern and a Hatching and McCaffrey's books. I loved,
"No--nonono no NO!" he said 'succinctly.' The hatchling cocked his head to the other side. Yes, he replied even more succinctly."
Great fun! I enjoyed it way too much! Can't wait to read the new one later this evening.
