bironicBuzz is rising on this new Jason Isaacs show, "Awake"; see for example & trailer http://cesperanza.livejournal.com/277887.html. Dunno yet how enjoyable it will be, but so far all I can think about is this SGA story from several years back: Rosemary, for Remembrance by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mhalachaiswords. To be honest, I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else bring it up. Even mentioning these together is a bit spoilery for the fic's plot, but I do recommend it if you haven't read it before—or, hey, go read it again! I did today.
"And so it goes back and forth," Joan said quietly, almost to herself. "From Joan to John. When I'm Joan, Rosemary and her kids are alive. When I'm John, Rosemary's been dead since I was five and her kids never existed. I'm the only one who remembers."
Other good things I have re-read lately include:
Cause = Time by greyson (Inception, Arthur/Ariadne/Eames college/high school AU)—still hot as all get-out, and wow, how much do I identify with some of the beginning lately ("I've never asked anyone out before. I feel like 'hot older foreign exchange student' is aiming kind of high to start out with.").
How Not to Fly by toomuchplor (SGA, John/Rodney, domestic)—one of those good, long, depressing but uplifting (no, really, both) stories that focuses on everyday matters of life and death and priorities and sacrifices and rocky relationships and child-rearing.
Also enjoyed for the first time Antimony by jibrailis (Inception, Arthur/Eames) in a casual sort of way—nice post-movie portrait of how things might go if dreamshare were legalized and went corporate, and there was backstory/ongoing recovery as well as the dream jobs to mix in with the relationship plot. You could tell where the characters would end up and I'm not sure these characterizations are my characterizations (granted, "canon characterization" is still pretty much a joke when it comes to Inception), but overall an enjoyable read spread throughout a couple of workdays.
