Lookin' Fine, Baby

[ribbon-purple.livejournal.com]

It is a well established fact that Rodney McKay’s ass is a national treasure and if John Sheppard were anymore silkily-sexy we would all be in danger of...ehem.  Today I propose we celebrate all those lovely bits of clothing and accessories that allow us to admire their attributes to the fullest extent that TV will currently allow.

So, I’m looking for fics where a piece or pieces of their wardrobe play a key part in the storyline. E.g. Rodney’s almost obscenely tight blue shirt drives John to distraction and whatnot.

All characters and their wardrobes are welcome. If the fics are funny, all the better.

This is awesome request! :)

Fixation (http://wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=15087) by lavvyan. John is fixated on every part of Rodney, especially on his ass... ets :). PG-13.

Holy crap. I might be glowing a bit.
And also gonna take a look a WHY the heck I never finished that. *is chastened*

I should hope you do finish it. Will you still be needing my services as a beta?

Yes yes, drooling evesdroppers inquiring minds want to know! ;-)

I just read Why Astrophysicists Shouldn't Wear Leather Pants for the first time, & giggled & enjoyed the mental images a lot! If you'd like another beta-reader for future parts I'd be more than happy to volunteer. I have an abiding fondness for Rodney's finest (non-cerebral) assets & completely understand how they could create chaos & short-circuit brains in on-lookers.... :-D

Re: This is awesome request! :)

[ribbon-purple.livejournal.com]

Awesome. Just what I was looking for. :)

[wanted-a-pony.livejournal.com]

Wonderful recs. Thank you! (Rodney in leather pants, OMG yumm...)

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth approves of Rodney's blue zip shirt and John dresses Rodney to good effect in almostnever's charmingly teamy Earth-based AU Cloud Nine (http://www.refugeeblues.com/mcshepmatch/2010/work/2w-ras.html). McShep, ~17,900 words

Also, did this picspam (http://trinityofone.livejournal.com/49573.html) by chance partly inspire your request? ;)

[ribbon-purple.livejournal.com]

No, actually, it was hewlett_daily. Very inspirational stuff. *g*

Thank you for the fic!

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

welcome! :)

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the picspam. Even with the grandpa pants in sga that butt is very nice.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

fine indeed :)

[wanted-a-pony.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, Cloud Nine! I haven't read that in... too long. Also haven't devoted some quiet time to contemplating DH's assets in way too long! ;-) Thanks very much for these recs!

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

mmm, assets... :)

Reposting to fix link -- sorry. :)


Some of my bookmarks... Because who doesn't love reading stories about the SGA people having clothing issues (http://www.delicious.com/Belas/fandom:SGA+Clothing) (yummy & whoopsy together)...? ;) (Pairings are listed in the tags, as well as humor; although I think most of them are of the humorous bent.)

Some of the bookmarked above came from these Revealing Moments (http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/716018.html)....I would definitely recommend them all. I really need to stop doing my read-on-the-run routine & actually sit down & bookmark the stories I read - it would make things so much easier. :D

And then there's "Flyboy is a Centerfold" (http://community.livejournal.com/mckay_sheppard/1251586.html) by ferret_kitty, which is, really, about a lack of clothing, but where the very fine attributes of John are thoroughly admired.... ;) McShep pairing, of course. :)

[ribbon-purple.livejournal.com]

Great. Thank you!

[wanted-a-pony.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I haven't read Flyboy Is A Centerfold in so long--thanks for reccing it so I could skip back & enjoy it again! (Hot guys with generous sides of pining & angst, & happy for dessert--some of my favorite flavors! ;-)


I really need to stop doing my read-on-the-run routine & actually sit down & bookmark the stories I read - it would make things so much easier. Hmmm, best of luck with that--let me know if you succeed. I thought that once, before I really grasped how much great SGA fic there is & how much of a ficslut I am. ;-D

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

Oh, I have one! Dazzled (http://beadattitude.livejournal.com/439033.html), in which John's shorts and his white linen shirt spark a revelation.

[ribbon-purple.livejournal.com]

YAY!

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

Can it be just their underpants, boxers?
John doesn't mean to look him up and down, but he can't help it. Rodney's wearing something else: a boner. There it is, tenting his boxers, plain as day, and John hates himself for not noticing it immediately, because now he has no way of knowing whether Rodney was already packing wood when he showed up or it's his natural reaction to life-threatening disaster.

[higglety.livejournal.com]

Where did that come from? That passage seems really familiar, but I just can't place it.

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I didn't mean to leave that hanging but things got a little strange here for a few hours.

[higglety.livejournal.com]

YES, of course! I KNEW I knew that story! Thanks a bunch for linking it; I haven't read it in forever!

[ribbon-purple.livejournal.com]

I don't see why not. :)

[cold-cheese.livejournal.com]

Ooo! I have a couple.

http://toomuchplor.livejournal.com/53566.html
Where the Sun Don't Shine by toomuchplor is very funny. It's sort of about unusual wardrobe, but more about an accidental lack of wardrobe. It's McShep with bonus Teyla/Ronon.

http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/813298.html
I think this one fits your request very well. Bootyliciious by kashmir1 and unamaga is all about how Rodney's ass + a pair of tight scrub pants = John Sheppard in serious trouble. And this one has a wonderful podfic by pennyplainknits here http://audiofic.jinjurly.com/bootylicious.

Sorry, it was rather late for me to look up how to do the pretty links, but this should work. Hope you like these.
