Harlequin Fics?

Hey, guys! I'm new to the fandom and I've seen some fics written as part of a Harlequin challenge? I've joined the Harlequin group but I was wondering if people could rec their favorite Harlequin stories. Slash only please!

the challenge that started it: http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/tag/challenge:%20harlequin

the community that sprang up from that: http://community.livejournal.com/harlequin_sga/

my tags for harlequin: http://delicious.com/dossier1013/challenge%3Aharlequin and http://delicious.com/dossier1013/harlequin and http://delicious.com/dossier1013/au-harlequin+sga

there's a little crossover between the three tags, but not terribly much. probably over a hundred stories give or take.

Been awhile, but if you're still looking I have a Harlequin-esque fic tag (http://delicious.com/Kirinin/harlequin!fic) in delicious for just those sorts of stories. I think most of the ones I have are slash. :)
