fancakeFandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: Ronon Dex/John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Dave Sheppard
Rating: Teen, Gen
Length: 3158 (Homework is 963)
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: Rheanna on AO3, busaikko on AO3, susan_voight on AO3
Themes: Siblings, Friendship, Going home, Established relationship
Summaries:
Ronon starts his e-mail correspondence with Sheppard's brother more or less by mistake.
For some reason, after his father's funeral Dave Sheppard keeps getting e-mail from Ronon Dex.
Reccer's Notes: This is a remix of Homework by busaikko, and they can be read in any order - this is basically a rec for both fics, Fieldwork being from Ronon's POV, and Homework, which is just as good, from Dave's POV. Ronon's in a relationship with John and as part of learning English he starts emailing John's estranged brother, Dave. Rodney then gets involved as Ronon goes to him for help. The characterisations of Ronon, John, and Rodney here are spot on, and it's both funny and moving - a wonderful set of stories.

Susan_voight podficced both stories, both separately and collated.

Links Extra: More data than you ever wanted.
Mar. 9th, 2026 09:47 amandrewduckerI was chatting to a couple of friends last week, and realised that I really fancied having one of those "bar chart race" videos for my links, showing what had been the most popular links over the last 21 years that I've been saving links (to Delicious, and then Pinboard).
So I downloaded the JSON blob of my whole link history, used some PowerShell to slice and dice it into a CSV, and uploaded it to a site that converts a bunch of data with dates into a bar chart race. And voila:
Unsurprising to see "Europe" break the top 20 in 2017. Followed a year later by "OhForFucksSake".
Both files available here, for the very curious.
a tiny post is still a post.
Mar. 9th, 2026 09:34 amhunninghamLittle post - because I'm trying to get back into the habit of journal about random whatevers.
- Such a bad night. Awake from midnight to about 4am. Himself woke me up at 6:30am when he left for work, and I moved off the sofa back to big bed but didn't go back to sleep. This is not good. It's a very bad not good. (But I did do all the washing-up in the middle of the night)
- Today I am going to make it to crossfit - it's one thing which shifts the needle from doomed to relatively cheerful.
- And on the way home I will buy some fruit, and get some spicy chicken pieces for father-in-law to have at lunch.
bad chicken news
Mar. 9th, 2026 06:25 pmtielanThe two pullets we got a couple of weeks ago started going downhill from probably Friday night. We could only get them to the vet this afternoon (Monday).
They have antibiotics and we're crop-feeding them, but I don't think it's going to do much good.
Fifteen minutes later: Nien-Go is dead. We're not sure if Jima-wu is going to survive, although she was always doing better than dainty little Nien-Go.
( feeling like I failed )

Last week's Poetry Fishbowl went well. I still have at least one more poem to write.
marchmetamatterschallenge is running this month. See my tracking post and the first check-in post.
"The Struggle Against Overwhelming Odds" is now complete. Gideon and Raymond get some unexpected help in the fight.
The weather has been warmish here, though it rained much of the week. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, a female cardinal, and a fox squirrel. A skein of geese flew overhead, honking quite loudly. Red-winged blackbirds have been singing overhead. I've heard a killdeer and a mourning dove calling, but didn't see them. Honeybees are out and swarming the flowers. Currently blooming: crocuses, snowdrops, winter aconite, miniature irises.

Not quite 365 days questions

9. As it’s ‘Check Your Batteries Day’, when was the last time you checked your stock of batteries? Or, do you buy them when you need them?
Hubby checks all of ours every three months. We stock our batteries every ten months. We don't want to find out something doesn't work the hard way.

When and where was the most memorable sunrise or sunset you have ever seen?
My favorite sunsets are here in Tucson. They are absolutely breathtaking. Hubby and I watch them as often as we can. I'm never up in time for sunrise. 😂 We also saw some gorgeous ones on different cruises we went on. Sunsets are so gorgeous. I'm grateful for all of them.

Things I'm Disappointed About
Sometimes I find a new recipe to try and it flops. At first I'm angry that I used money to make something that was so awful. After about ten minutes, I then blame myself for choosing something so gross.
I get disappointed in people that show no compassion for anyone who has to use hearing aids. They lose their temper because they don't want to repeat themselves. I've even seen them yell at the person who has no control over their hearing.
But, the biggest disappointment in people who don't have empathy for the person with dementia, or worse. They have no control over what is happening to them And their family. They need all the Love and caring they can get. Please be thoughtful. A lot of people are.

Space Exploration
Mar. 9th, 2026 01:11 amysabetwordsmithNASA shares photos of an extraordinary event witnessed by astronauts on the space station
While most people witness only the familiar crack of thunder and flash of lightning from storms on Earth, brilliantly-colorful electric fireworks detonate much higher, in the thin air up to 55 miles overhead, easily seen from the ISS.
These brief spectacles – blue jets, red sprites, violet halos, ultraviolet rings – are collectively known as transient luminous events, or TLEs.
For decades, they eluded systematic study, appearing only in pilots’ anecdotes and the occasional lucky photograph.
The International Space Station (ISS) has changed that by offering an unobstructed seat above the storms, where specialized cameras and sensors capture every fleeting spark.

Mar. 8th, 2026 07:31 pmolivermoss* Goaltender Interference by Ari Baran - This book was recc'd to me so much. I read the other Ari Baran books in order to get to it, and then I didn't like it much.
I am very glad I read the other books. Ari Baran's stuff is still the best hockey m/m I've read outside of Rachel Reid's books. But yeah, this didn't do it for me.
I've heard that a popular m/m hockey book had name choices that are very distracting if you are a Kraken fan. Well, found the book! Unlike a certain other situation also involving squiddy names, I am very sure this was unintentional. But wow, the name choices threw me out of the book a few times. That made it harder to get into, but I don't think a F&R on the names would have helped much.

Esbat
Mar. 8th, 2026 09:18 pmysabetwordsmithThis evening we held our esbat with an owl theme, inspired by the Festival of Owls this weekend. We charged a set of owl beads for people to keep.
... I am disappointed that I did not think ahead to obtain a gummy rat for the cakes and ale.
