Why This Must Be Read: One of my favorite authors is rearchiving her fic on AO3, which makes a great excuse for me to reread her work and discover the odd gem or two that I haven't recced yet!

I love good outsider perspective, and I love all the little, unknown yet crucial cogs that go into making the SGC tick. So Redbyrd's stolid janitor, cleaning up all the inevitable messes that smash up the Gateroom and every other level in Cheyenne Mountain, is a real keeper. You know what he doesn't know - and it will definitely leave you grinning.


Bill nodded knowingly. You couldn't work in this place without knowing that there was some seriously strange stuff going on. If you wanted to stay, you signed everything they gave you and kept your trap shut, no matter how weird it got. And Bill did want to stay- for cleaning up weird messes and taking special training for chemicals and biohazards and god-knows-what, you got a salary that was pretty much unheard of for what was basically janitorial work. All you had to do was ignore the occasionally oddly dressed people you saw and never ask questions.

Oh my gosh, you have no idea how happy this makes me. I found recently that Redbyrd's website wasn't working and I was like noooooo. I eventually got back to it with the Wayback Machine but that they are rearchiving on AO3 is fabulous news!

Yes! Go subscribe. I've been having so much fun rereading. :)

I'm very flattered that people remember my stories. :) I'd thought of moving the fic to AO3 before, but didn't get around to it until my internet provider killed web hosting, and my site with it. I made a fair bit of progress posting fic over the long New Year weekend, and I expect to have everything moved by the end of the month (if not sooner).

I LOVE your stories! I'm so excited to hear you're moving them to AO3 where I can put them with my favorite bookmarks :)

And...I'm done. Everything is now on A03. Went faster than I had thought. :)
