so bored

AAAAAAAAARGH. I am so bored of packing and I've only done seven boxes so far. Three boxes of books, one from my desk drawers, one of toiletries (I have a big stockpile due the factory shop where I work) and one of random crap. Only seven-thousand more boxes of books to go. As for more random crap, who knows.

I went to the flat on Tuesday to get the keys. It's all okay apart from the washing machine and water heater need fixing but that's all arranged now. Now I just (!) have to pack up all my stuff. Oh god.

So, anyone want to rec me some fabulous McKay/Sheppard fic that I can read while I'm avoiding the inevitable?

Ooooh, thanks for the heads up.

I think that packing inducing McShep desires is a very plausible hypothesis. I may have to experiment further with this. Perhaps it extends to unpacking too? We'll have to record our experiences on the other end too. ;)

Thanks for the recs. I'll tackle those only when I'm completely finished packing. Or maybe now.

Yes, judging by the amount of glee expressed by you and Mary, I'd assumed that there was some good stuff on the Big Bang thingy!

Really? How so? Have to say, I loved it.

I just posted your DVDs today. I'm sorry it took me so long! When are you moving? If they get to you within the next week, will they make it in time? Hope so.

I hate packing too, as well you know. Hope you find some nice distracting fic! And feel free to distract anyone who may be writing a thesis *cough* by posting recs if you do. ;D

Oh yes, I tend to block out that kind of labelling. You know me and that. I hate it when fics go out of their way to label in that manner, so obviously I agree with you there. But I did love the John angst on the subject. Hmm, odd, I admit, that I should take that stance, but I felt it worked.

Still, top class prose style. I do love a fic with good prose.

Well, I feel it's only fair since you and she were chatting about packing in mine! Ah, LJ, where people can chat about random things just about anywhere. Maybe we should take the discussion to [livejournal.com profile] lj_biz? ;D

I take your points. True enough. I wasn't jarred by it, though, which makes me think the writer convinced me well enough to think that such flirting would happen.

Also, I haven't read a good John/Rodney in ages, so that was great in itself. Not long now till it's back on telly. And it's not often I get excited about SGA anymore, so even the sense of anticipation engendered by this fic is a good thing, I think!

But there's still not enough John/Ronon for my liking.

Don't worry! I'm moving next Saturday so they should come before then, and even if they don't, it doesn't matter anyway as I'll be at my parents house for my birthday the week after. Thank you! :D:D <3

I haven't had time for any fic today! I was at Ikea for about half the day (it took about forty-five minutes to get out of the carpark!) and then packing for the rest of it. Urgh.

How rude you both are. I'm surprised you haven't started spamming me with cat macros yet. ;)

I think I'll have to read this fic so I can have an opinion on it too!

That's exactly how I've been feeling after reading a few good J/R fics this weekend - now I'm feeling quite excited by the start of the new season!
