Author's Summary:

Returning home after leaving his grandfather with the giant aliens, Daniel is fine.

Why This Must Be Read:

This is a Daniel-centric fic, primarily dealing with the SG-1 episode "The Crystal Skull" where Nick stays with the aliens.

Daniel is 'fine' -- for a certain value of fine. It takes Jack to assure Daniel that he won't always be left behind.

Why This Must Be Read: Set in Episode: s07e02 Homecoming, this fic is a somber missing scene between a newly-returned Daniel and Teal'c. I love the way their friendship is shown and how accepting Teal'c is of whoever Daniel may be now, regardless of if he regains his memories, regardless of if he is exactly the same. It's a quiet moment and beautifully done.

I like Ken Follett's books, and I like airplanes, and I like historical books, but this one was just kind of lackluster for me, unfortunately. It kept me reading, and parts of it were very engaging, but I ended up feeling kind of "That was it?" at the end. I mean, to be fair, this book is set early in WW2 and there's a lot of war still to go, but it feels like we didn't quite get the full plot or the amount of airplane that was promised by the title. The airplane-promising title manages to be a big spoiler while not actually delivering on its promise. (Although, to be fair, I guess it did get me to read the book.)

previous ranking. this post was inspired by trying the frosted (full frosting, not drizzled) cinnamon roll pop tarts.

*not every variety listed is currently available. some are seasonal, others were for a limited time.

frosted brown sugar cinnamon
s'mores
pumpkin pie (one of the few seasonal flavors i've tried, because who wants to commit to a box of 12 if you don't like them?)
cookies n' cream
chocolate fudge
chocolate chip
chocolate peanut butter
frosted banana bread. ok. could be more banana-y.
frosted (full frosting, not drizzled) cinnamon roll. not as good as brown sugar cinnamon
lemon crème pie. lemon things are either; not very lemony, lemony, or LEMON! these are the second.
peanut butter
fruit ones
pretzel pop tarts. dry & come apart at the end seams.
sugar cookie. would've been better, but smells like some kind of chemical. probably what they use to print the winter scenes on them.
frosted chocolate chip pancake. vague syrup flavor, no chocolate flavor. looks odd because of the chocolate chips on it.
apple jacks. barely tastes like anything, much less apple jacks
snickerdoodle. possibly tied with unfrosted, since they are too.
unfrosted ones
boston cream pie. boston cream filling is not meant to be eaten warm.

Still working on my old bingo card. I'm determined to get it finished before I tackle the newer one. Only one more square to go, now! If only I had any faintest idea what to do with it, other than what I did with it the last time the prompt came up on one of these cards. Anybody have any suggestions for what you might like to see me write for "We're Surrounded!" that don't involve writing a lot of action or plot? I mean, I don't know what the odds of me taking any suggestions are, but at this point anything to get the ol' creative juices flowing is probably welcome.

Anyway, here's the penultimate one:

Title: Meanwhile, Donna
Fandom: Doctor Who, Doctor Who (2005)
Characters/Relationships: Donna Noble & Rose Noble
Rating: General Audiences
Summary: She's forgotten something important. Again.
Tags: Episode Related, Wish World, Drabble
Length: 100 words
Author's Notes: Written for Gen Prompt Bingo, for the prompt "May morning." I have to say, I found "The Reality War" very disappointing, but I did love "Wish World" taken on its own, and how could I not write something involving it for that prompt? So, here's a drabble.

Meanwhile, Donna

Why This Must Be Read: it's Earth Christmastime, but on Atlantis it's mid-summer and the Australians have organized a barbeque. This is one of Mandysbitch's sweeter stories in which the boys get tipsy and end up in bed. It's hot and steamy, a nice slice-of-life, and soft-centered. Lovely writing, and a feelgood ending.

( snippet of fic )

The recent "only one bed" meme (which I still haven't finished, as per usual) led to only-one-bed thoughts and this missing scene for B5 5x16.

One Safe Harbor (also on Ao3 - G'Kar/Londo, 2300 words, explicit)
Missing scene on the flight from Babylon 5 to Centauri Prime in 5x16. Two people in a very small sleeping space. Also, some feelings are had.
