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)

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.

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....

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

Blondes have more fun: mentioned above, wherein John's hair is inadvertently dyed blonde. PG-13. http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=12191

Hairy Guys: Rodney doesn't like hairy guys so he's got plans to fix it. NC-17, shaving kink. http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=10995

All Dressed Up And...: There's a lot of John grooming. Crossdressing. R. http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=14804

True Colors: John and Rodney are Hairdressers. NC-17. http://yin-again.com/truecolors.htm with sequels: http://yin-again.com/truecon.htm and prequel: http://yin-again.com/student.htm

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).

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).

Johnny Shep (http://idyll.livejournal.com/348546.html) by idyll is all about John's hair (John/Ronon, fusion with Ally McBeal).

Five Ways Ronon Loses His Dreads (http://perspi.livejournal.com/85842.html) by perspi (gen).

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

[mandykaysfic.livejournal.com]

I hadn't read that one. Thanks!

[mandykaysfic.livejournal.com]

The only ones of those I'd read were True Colors and sequels, so thanks for all the links :)

[popkin16]

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

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

[mandykaysfic.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[mandykaysfic.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the recs. I'd only read 'That's What I Think', so it was great to have something new.

[mandykaysfic.livejournal.com]

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!

[mandykaysfic.livejournal.com]

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

[saphirablue]

You are very welcome! :)
