Why This Must Be Read:

In my previous rec for this month, I recommended a coda for one of my favorite SGU episodes, "Twin Destinies" from Season Two. Here is a short, beautiful bit of writing that explores a key scene from another favorite, "Darkness", from Season One.

In "Canary", the author gives us a peek into Young's mind as Rush falls apart (falls down, falls silent). Short, insightful, well-written - the story shows us both Young's sense of responsibility, and a view of Rush seen through Young's eyes.

Why this must be read:
If you want to read good Young/Rush fic, you need look no further than author cerebel's fanfic pages. Here, the author takes classic fanfic cliches (pollen sex! enclosed spaces!) and turns them into something amazing. Written for Yuletide, and set sometime after the events of "Justice", cerebel imagines the fallout from that episode in a way that is intense, intriguing, and oh-so-hot.

Go, read!

Why this must be read:
Ah, those pesky communication stones - what trouble they cause! Here is a lovely, lovely fic (written for the Stargate Universe Fanfic Exchange) that takes place sometime after Rush returns to Destiny after the events of "Justice". Time is not linear here, and the author interweaves a very interesting encounter between Telford and Rush (in the present) with events from Rush's recent and distant past.

The repeated imagery is especially strong, and the final quote (taken, as was the title, from Machiavelli's "The Prince") could be seen as a wonderfully prescient nod to the events of "Divided".

Enjoy!

Why this must be read:
The month is ending, and so is my time for SGU recs. Here's my deep dark secret - I really, really love Young and Rush. Gen or slash, those boys have great (if more than a little scary) chemistry. As an SGU fan said in a review of one of the earlier episodes, they go together like fire and gasoline.

So, here, finally, I'm reccing some Young/Rush slash. There are quite a few that are wonderful, and no author gets Young and Rush better than cerebel. The fic I've chosen might seem a bit of a strange choice at first - an AU, perhaps? Perhaps.

The author sets up an atmosphere so perfect, so tense and yet somehow flat, like an overexposed photograph, that I was completely drawn in. You will be, too.

Fever

Why this must be read:
I have to fess up. LadyPredator is a good friend so I've been avoiding like hell reccing Fever but there is a dearth of good Stargate Universe fic out there so here it is. Firstly, I have to add the caveat that Fever resulted in me asking LadyPredator if I could write a sequel, the first time that I've ever had a plot bunny after reading a story. Her stuff is like that. All of a sudden, you'll just go, 'Hang on, that's just sparked this brilliant idea.' Fever is a lovely hurt/comfort fic that has the requisite injury, crisis and comfort, though the latter is not quite what I expected because it shows Young, a character I find it hard to be kind to, in a better and kinder light than I would have done.Above all that, it's just a fun read.
