This is a duology--"Lapsit Exilis" and "Sangreal"--that I really enjoyed, for several reasons. One, The Prophet has a *really* good grasp of Arthurian Legend, and it shows in the way she sets up the culture and mythology of Logres. And I love Arthurian Legend, so that's always good! Plus, Mab makes a delicious Goa'uld. *grin* The familiar characters are also very recognizable, and the original characters--Morwen, Elowen, Taliesin, Mellyan, Vivianne, etc--are real and vibrant and compelling too. The author has some uncommon ideas about the Goa'uld (both in this and in other fic), seeing them as much more redeemable as a whole than either the series or most fanfic writers seem to--although Kianna from "Fall Out" could theoretically be used to support The Prophet's point of view--but it's an interesting take. Not one I agree with, but that's never stopped me from enjoying a fic in the past. *g* The only thing I really had a problem with is that Daniel's relationship with Morwen both starts and ends a little suddenly--I would've expected him to mourn both Sha're *and* Morwen a little longer than he did (the story is set very close on the heels of "Forever in a Day"), but that's my perception of the character, and canon doesn't necessarily agree with me if you consider Ke'ra. *g* So anyway I'll stop talking now, before I get started *really* gushing about the Arthurian parallels and can't stop. ;-)

Today I give you my latest stalking victim, nel_ani. For some reason, her stories remind me of the new caramel kisses from Hershey. You think you know what you've got until you get to the center and then... damn. It's even better.

Chocolate/Caramel...

Jack/Daniel...

Spoilers: Fifth Race, Lost City parts 1 and 2
Summary: Wherein Jack keeps his cool (kinda) and Daniel doesn't.
Author's Notes: My long lost Lost City tag that was supposed to be written long ago. Better late than never.

Why it must be read: We’re back at our home world (although I have a feeling that the big guy with that golden thing on his head doesn’t come from here), and the wannabe Ancient is here. I have vague memories of never being particularly impressed by him. Not much of a surprise.

And no, Jack's not talking about Daniel, although I chortled for a second when I thought he was.
