Why This Must Be Read: because even though everything I know about NASCAR I learned from Talladega Nights, I love this fic. Started for

sga_flashfic's Harlequin challenge, it grew to an EPIC AU of great proportions and was posted to

harlequin_sga early this summer. SGA is a fandom of AMAZING AU's and Fireball is no different. I love how this fic has taken something I really don't like outside of a stupid movie with Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen (and then really only because of the kiss and if anybody saw the MTV movie awards where they accepted the award :D YUM XD) and turn it into a fic that I go back and read all the time :D

I also love how EVERYBODY is here, with all my favorite ingredients. Ford and his inability to name things; Zelenka's pure awesomeness; John and Rodney's wicked banter; Elizabeth, Ronon (alas, dreadless, but really, he couldn't fit those dreads in a helmet) and Teyla being generally amazing. Seriously. go read it :D

note: in the notes, Celli thanks Dira Sudis's EPIC due South AU Hawks and Hands which is absolutely amazing. And not just because hockey is my prefered sport to watch XD. If you're just getting into due South, or are thinking about it, go read it too XD

The pace car pulled out, and Rodney couldn't take it anymore. He clattered up the ladder to the pit box. "I want to--let me--oh, forget it." He grabbed Zelenka, pulled him close, and spoke into his headset, ignoring the extreme flailing Zelenka was doing in protest. "Hey, hotshot!"

"McKay?" Sheppard sounded both startled and amused.

"Don't wreck my car."

Sheppard burst into laughter. So did Elizabeth, and some of the guys down on the pit wall were smirking. "Yes, sir."

"Get out! Get off!" Zelenka bopped Rodney over the head with his clipboard. "Go watch your computers and stop grabbing crew chiefs, crazy person!"

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving, stop hitting me!"
