Desert Setting

[futbol16-4.livejournal.com]

I don't know if there are any more stories out there that utilize great, focused, descriptions of a desert setting. I'm in a Lawrence of Arabia type of kick at the moment.
The two I found are mcshep, which I prefer, but I'll take just about any pairing.
AU, mission, crossovers are totally welcome as well.

Thanks in advance!

All the Pharaoh's Men (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/39213.html) by ladyamarra fits, though it's more gen-ish, as I recall. I also have stillane's Weathering (http://stillane.livejournal.com/55194.html) listed as desert, but I believe that it's not a sand desert...

Thank you. I'm off to read both.

I think there is a fusion with Lawrence of Arabia, but I have never read it, so not sure if there is any desert.

[futbol16-4.livejournal.com]

There should be, I've seen the movie and read the book it was based on: The Seven Pillars of Wisdom. They all have to do with the desert. I'll see if I can find the fusion you're talking about.

Ha ha , found it.

Nil Nisi Bonum by dossier: John Sheppard as Lawrence of Arabia.

Sweet! Off to read now.

East of the Sun, West of the Moon by dossier is a don't-miss -- it's a long, gen(ish) AU with Sheppard and Rodney (among others) having to make new lives for themselves on a desert world after the Daedalus crashes and strands them there. Very wonderful story.

Never Stop Moving by Tipper strands the team on a desert planet, and Desert Orkids puts them in the middle of a power struggle on another desert world. Both are gen with lots of h/c.

Thank you! I haven't heard of any of these, and will have fun checking them out.
