SGA ficlet: Horror Movie Blues

[xparrot]

(Why didn't anyone tell me that Newsies is one of the deliciously slashiest movies ever put on film? Really now, I feel the fangirl collective has failed me in not bringing this to my attention sooner. Turn-of-the-century street urchins in love, can you get more adorable? (Well, yes, you could also subscribe to chandri's McShep fusion idea. Which so needs to happen, because, seriously. The cowboy and the "mouth with a brain". It's almost too perfect!))

Finally managed something chipper! For sga_flashfic's comfort challenge, a quick & dirty silly "Whispers" tag. Follow the link to fluffy slash, hardly a smidge of genuine angst, just beer.

SGA: Horror Movie Blues {~1,500 words}
PG-13, McShep, tag to 5x07: "Whispers
Post-mission, John's a bit freaked out, but Rodney's there for him.

Probably because we thought you already knew. XD Isn't it, though?? I think it's in need of a rewatch...

I don't know how I missed exposure to it! Fortunately that lapse has been rectified, but really, I can't believe I'd never heard before! ^^

*dies* You haven't seen Newsies! Oh no! If I'd known I would have made you watch it with another friend at Cornell -- I have fond memories of cackling over it in her dorm room. :D

Neither of us had seen it! I remember when it came out, I think, but never heard that it was so cute...!

The weird thing is that it was my second grade best friend's favorite movie -- she was, ahem, intending to marry Christian Bale -- but I didn't see it myself until college. Yet despite that I just can't hear Christian Bale's name without thinking of Newsies, thanks to seven-year-old Sara...

And your icon reminds me that last week I finally saw the first couple episodes of the new Doctor Who. Love...!! *_* (Although I was initially confused as to the absence of this David Tennant I had heard so much about. I was seriously convinced through quite a bit of the first episode that Christopher Eccleston wasn't actually the Doctor but was instead some bizarre imposter or something...)

Heee, yay for Doctor Who! (and um, yes, the multiple Doctors an be a bit confusing...and Chris Ecclestone's Ninth Doctor is awesome and fun and should be enjoyed, but *my* Doctor is most decidedly Ten!)

Sounds like something you need to show me! :D

Even putting aside the slashiness, the friendship of the two boys is the central part of the story, and oh so cute. I think you'd enjoy it. ...Also it's a musical, did we mention that? ^^;

[naye]

Hey - I love musicals! :D

Well, it's a Disney musical - but still, singing boys! the best kind! (and a 16 year old Christian Bale singing with a wild New Yorker accent...)

So I requested Newsies from my library entirely on your recommendation, and I just watched it, and OMG I loved it so much. And Jack is so John and David is so Rodney and the whole thing was SO adorable (and slashy). ...Yeah, just wanted to thank you for bringing my attention to it. :)

Heee, isn't it marvelous? Really, I don't know how I missed it for so long! (And oh LORD but the John/Rodney-ness of it just leaps off the screen! I defy any McShepper to not have at least cross their mind when watching it...)

I love when the boys comfort each other. Nice one.

Thank you! They are so cute together... ^^
