February reccers volunteer post

[fignewton]

This entry will be open through the 31st. The monthly reccers entry will go up sometime on Thursday.

If you're not sure that you're ready to sign up, there's still time to rec this month in Open Reccer's Month! :)

Comment with the username you'll be using to rec and the category you want. Choose a category from the list below or select a more rare category that has been used in the past. If you want to rec a category that is not on the list below or in Memories, that's fine, too: you may volunteer for a category that isn't listed.

By signing up, you are committing yourself to reccing at least two (preferably four) stories in that category during the month of February. You don't have to check the Memories before choosing which stories to rec. If you have a good fic to rec, go for it! Do remember, though, that story links must be freely accessible, without requiring any sort of login to view. The FAQ and rec template, with detailed instructions, can be found here. Reccers may add self-recs once they have done their minimum two for their category of the month, and see more details at the FAQ entry.

You must be a member of stargateficrec in order to post. So if you're a new reccer, be sure to join the community.

Author’s summary: It’s so late on a Sunday night that it might actually be Monday morning when Rodney answers his door and tells John to “Fuck off, Colonel.” It’s the ‘Colonel’ that clues John into the fact that Rodney’s genuinely pissed more than the ‘fuck off’; he’s been ‘John’ for months now, ever since their first tentative kiss in the infirmary after a mission gone badly wrong.

Why This Must Be Read: It's a wonderful fic written by the awesome Logicgunn that I love coming back to because it touches me so much every single time. The story involves cross-dressing which she handles with sensitivity and care. It begins with a misunderstanding that leaves Rodney devastated and defeated, and John feeling vulnerable and exposed. However, it wouldn't be one of her fics if she didn't turn everything around for the best, warming your heart and giving it an amazingly hot ending.
