Figurative Hell And Literal High Water by tipper_green (PG)

[astridv.livejournal.com]

One day left, so I'm quickly re-reccing two longer stories in the character category, since they are Jennifer-centric and the pairing is very much in the background (and I failed to categorize them correctly when I first rec'd them...)

Rec Category: Jennifer Keller
Characters: Rodney/Jennifer (friendship with UST)
Category: action/adventure, hurt/comfort
Warning: S4, spoilers for Missing (takes place after Missing but before This Mortal Coil).
Author on LJ: tipper_green
Author's Website: Stargate Atlantis Fanfiction
Link: Figurative Hell And Literal High Water

Why This Must Be Read:
Rodney's desperate to save his team, and Keller's just trying to keep up, on a planet where hurricanes can last for days.(36,000 words)

A descriptive and action-filled adventure story with a fantastic Keller POV that does the character justice. She gets a chance to shine in this one, with nature throwing obstacle after obstacle at them, and Sheppard's team lying injured (really well-written h/c, too). It's much fun to see Rodney and Jennifer play off each other. This fic put me in a happy mood and left me with a yen for more Keller-centric fic.

I can't say enough good things about Tip's fics! I've been a fan since back in my M7 days. Only thing I can't understand is why she hasn't gone pro yet.

Yeah. Tipper's 'Failure to Communicate' was one of the very first stories I read in SGA, and at least partly responsible for sucking me into this fandom. And her OCs, like in 'Thieves in Atlantis', are just fantastic.

I still haven't read all of her fic; maybe for tonight I'll pick one of the longer unread ones to read...
