Men's Grooming Day

[mandykaysfic.livejournal.com]

August 20 is apparently Men's Grooming Day. Who did the haircuts on Atlantis? Any fics relating to grooming of any kind would be lovely.

In one of the mini-sequels that are in the comment-thread of this untitled (awesomely cracktastic) ficlet (http://www.livejournal.com/community/zortdrabbles/28346.html) by James/zortified, we discover that the base barber is a Sergeant Roberts. (short, gen)

I don't remember who does the actual cutting, but John getting a standard military/marine haircut is relevant in Finding Home (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=37) by diamond-raven. (McShep, ~55,000 words)

That ficlet + comments was hilarious - thanks!
I'll tackle 55,000 words in a week or so when I have some spare time.

This might be what you're looking for:

A Complicated Friendship by sheafrotherdon
~ 1300 words, John/Rodney, first time. Set immediately after ‘Epiphany.’ Rodney gives John a shave.

I hadn't read that one. Thanks!

You're welcome! :D Always happy to share fics~

These may not be quite what you're looking for, but...

"Hair Today" (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_santa/233110.html) by Zinnith (zinfic) -- AU - No Atlantis, McShep Pairing ... It's a kinda Barbershop meets the Atlantis crew, or something....

"To Entangle So To Know" (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=11970) by idyll -- John/Ronon pairing, Ronon-centric ... How Ronon got his dreads, what the various ones mean, and how John learned about it.

"Treed" (http://panisdead.livejournal.com/90657.html) by panisdead -- No Pairing, Rodney & Ronon friendship ... Rodney & Ronon, sitting in a tree - not kissing - B-O-N-D-I-N-G, first comes bugs, then comes stories, then comes one big damned storm before their rescue by way of PuddleJumper.... (Ummm... I might actually have the order wrong, but it all happens.) :D

"Braid the Raven Hair" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3565455/1/Braid_the_Raven_Hair), a sequel to "Interesting" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3366030/1/Interesting), which is unrelated to the search, by rubycaspar -- John/Teyla sort-of Pairing ... John braids Teyla's hair....

I've had a lovely time reading my way through those, thanks! The only one I'd read was 'Hair Today'.

I'm deleting your comment because story searches, or unspecified story descriptions without indication that they are searched for at sgastoryfinders are against comm rules (http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/profile).

[jimpage363.livejournal.com]

In my story, "Strangely Familiar", John implies to his cousin, the stylist, that Cadman has been cutting his hair with a Flowbee.

[mandykaysfic.livejournal.com]

Just read this. I really liked it. Off to read your other fics.

That's the best thing about asking for recs - you get led to some things you might never otherwise have found.

John's gotten a regulation haircut in That's What I Think (When I Think About You) (http://community.livejournal.com/mcsmooch/123506.html) by busaikko (John/Rodney).

I've well and truly celebrated mens' grooming day, although with a lot of reading rather than grooming.
I can't believe I'd only read 2 of these. Thanks!

Barbershop by kristen999
Summary: He wanted to say a little off the top, but that was so cheesy.

[mandykaysfic.livejournal.com]

That was exactly what I had in mind and I hadn't read it before. Thanks.

You are very welcome! :)
