sgarecfindersI've a short laundry-list of requests....
Request Part 1 -- Favorite Remixes:
I'm looking for your favorite Remixes - you know... the ones that are just as good as the original story, if not better for the added change-in-view. I'm not looking for any particular pairing; although, I am partial to McShep pairing or gen!fic -- please, label pairings where applicable.
Four of my favorite Remixes (in no particular order):
"Tells (Whispers in the Dark mix)" by
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
z_rayne -- Remix of casspeach 's "Tells". (McShep pairing)"Necessary Things (settling the balance)" by
bluflamingo -- Remix of minnow1212 's "Necessary Things". (No Pairing)"Next of Kin (What I Won't Do For Love Remix)" by
danceswithgary -- Remix of ms_jvh_shuh 's "Honor Guard". (McShep pairing)"One Peace At A Time (One Damn Thing After Another)" by
cupidsbow -- Remix of argosy 's "One Piece At A Time". (McShep pairing)Request Part 2 -- Storytelling / Oral Traditions:
I'm looking for stories that show how the Pegasus Galaxy remembers the people that are still living & those that have been eradicated by the Wraith. I'm not looking for any pairings in particular, but if there are pairings, please label where necessary.
***Addendum: Any stories that have one of the characters telling a story to active listeners -- the stories that become or can become legend, whether involving Pegasus Galaxy natives or those in Atlantis.***
The stories I've read that illustrate this:
"Children of Lantean Design" by Xela -- In Pegasus Galaxy, they have a Memory Keeper, whose job it is to remember all the stories, history, etc. that people share with him or her so that they will not be forgotten. *this is admittedly just a small part of the story, as it's a BigBang story* (McShep pairing)
"The Storyteller" by
seperis -- Pegasus Galaxy has a people that are able to "share" memories as a means of storytelling / sharing histories of those who may have been lost to the ravages of the Wraith. (No pairing)"Speaker of the Dead" by
mrshamill -- Not so much on the storytelling, but definitely an oral tradition is exhibited, where the Athosians have one person that calls the roll of all who are dead & makes sure that the list is kept current during their yearly rite. (Basically Gen, but was McShep pairing - Warnings for Main Character Deaths) **Link to my comment below, which has entries applicable to the Addendum...**
Thanks in advance for any & all contributions!
ETA: Addendum to Request #2

Date: 2010-06-29 12:54 pm (UTC)Thank you for this one... I had to laugh at your description of the McShep pairing because that was definitely what I was thinking as I reading it. *snorts* "oh, John Sheppard!" indeed. LOL!

Date: 2010-06-30 01:53 pm (UTC)Thank you! You know, every time I read these two, I keep feeling like there's another story to the mix, but I'm pretty sure there isn't -- it's just that I was on a theme reading bender, so the stories sometimes melt into one, if you know what I mean. :D
Remixes
Date: 2010-06-29 07:18 am (UTC)"Vanrin's Story" by Victoria Custer [1|2] (Sheppard/OMC) -> Remix of "Hunting Parties" by Victoria Custer [1|2] (Sheppard/OMC) - On what seems like an easy mission, John gets captured, and Rodney and the others have to search for him.
Re: Remixes
Date: 2010-06-30 01:54 pm (UTC)Thank you! Somehow I had missed that there was a Remix of "Hunting Parties"... So happy. :D
Storytelling
Date: 2010-06-29 07:26 am (UTC)Kala's Tale by Kriadydragon - Some legends tend to be a bit skewed.

Re: For 2, sort of: non-verbal remembering of the dead in Pegasus
Date: 2010-06-30 02:06 pm (UTC)Thank you! I've got something of a similar search going on over there right now. Between searching my bookmarks, which invariably ends in me re-reading what I've bookmarked because I have zero resistance, for a particular story I wanted to post up here & reading the contributions here & also the results of story searches at

Date: 2010-06-30 06:24 pm (UTC)Addition for #2
Date: 2010-06-30 11:18 pm (UTC)"Keep the Home Fires Burning" (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=5540) by SylvanWitch -- Satedans take an item of the deceased and leave it where they were most alive / happiest for someone to recognize as a 'remembrance' & pick up to make their own stories to go with the item they picked up. It's a bit of a blurb, with an exchange between John & Ronon, which is also the pairing for the story.
Stories to go #2's Addendum...
