Why This Must Be Read: Vampires - pure crack, right? But this month I'm reccing stories where a cracky idea is treated seriously - or in this case, semi-seriously! As ever, the culprit for Rodney's transformation is some random bit of Ancient tech and this is the tale of him adapting to that state, if being something pretty damn close to a vampire were caused 'scientifically' rather than being part of a spooky fantasy. The dialogue's brilliant, there's humour, drama and plot, and overall this is a HUGE favourite of mine! Highly recommended.
"There's no such thing as vampires," Rodney said for the sixty-third time. Not that he was counting or anything. "Dammit, Beckett, you're a scientist!"
"That's not what you usually say," Beckett said, keeping a careful distance from the walls of the Wraith cell.
They had him in the Wraith cell. Rodney jerked his head at the blue beams of energy zipping between them. “Don’t you think this is a bit of an overreaction?”
Beckett tsked at him. “You tried to bite Biro when she was checking your pulse."
And that was more difficult to explain; somehow, the evil battleax had suddenly smelled astonishingly good. It had seemed only logical, even necessary, to see if she tasted just as good. He wasn’t going to hurt her. He rubbed his jaw and winced; given how hard she punched, he doubted that he could. "That was a misunderstanding," Rodney said stiffly.
Beckett shook his head. “Before you tried to bite Biro, she wasn’t finding a pulse – ”
“Then she’s just incompetent!” Rodney shouted. “Because I wouldn’t be able to do this -- ” he jumped up and down “-- if I didn’t have a pulse!” Although he’d tried to find it himself a couple of times. He must have been doing it wrong. He could admit it, he wasn’t a creepy pathologist with a fragile ego.
