Review:
After missions where John's life is in jeopardy, Rodney starts crawling into John's bed. John - despite vehemently denying thinking about Rodney "like that" - starts endangering himself on purpose just so he can get to sleep beside him.

The whole "getting injured (deliberately or subconsciously) to gain affection" trope has long been popular in certain slash (and particularly smarm) fandoms. In "Ways to Die..." we have John going from trying to discourage what he sees as clear signs of Rodney's romantic feelings (which he supposedly does not reciprocate) to creating situations that encourage Rodney's actions. Though he recognizes how self-destructive this behavior is, the slow awakening of his feelings and his inability (and Rodney's) to talk about what is really going on makes me a bit sympathetic when I would otherwise simply want to throttle him.

I love crysothemis's writing and I particularly enjoyed her Rodney and his true motivations in this fic, which is a lovely example of classic H/C.

Ways to Die in the Pegasus Galaxy

This is a long overdue send off to the wonderfuld cheetahanabel who has left just our ranks. Let us say goodbye by giving her a long list of fics to enjoy. She is particularly interested in:

- Non-canon pairing fics
- Small fandoms
- Glee
- Stargate: Atlantis
- Harry Potter
- Inception

Things to keep in mind:
-Recced stories can be any length, any fandom, and any pairing, as long as they fit the theme
-You don't need to write a review (unless you want to). All that you need to include are title, author, and link to the story (all parts if there are more than one).
-Stories as a single file are preferred, if available.
- WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING NEW RECCERS. Reccers are accepted by invitation only and the invitations are issued primarily based on their response to RR posts.  If you're interested, respond to this post (or one of the previous RR posts) with a full rec, including Title, Author, Rating, Pairing, Genres, Length, Summary, and Review (including details of why you liked the story).
