cover art yay!

Summer House (and its sequels Shore Leave and Sabbatical) by rageprufrock
mcshep, pg, sga/eureka crossover
"Taggart heard from Beverly at the market who heard from one of the kids who came in to see her weekly sessions that Rodney had once blown up three-quarters of a solar system, had a brain that rivaled Nathan Stark's, had kidnapped a male model on his way into town--"He's actually there of his own free will," Jack had interrupted--and also that he'd only agreed to work in Eureka in exchange for the total focus of some of the greatest minds in Global Dynamics' medical research labs."

it's fast, it's powerful, and it's got possessive!mckay. splendid choice and realization of pov: jack carter observes the mckays as an odd couple.
it's truly astonishing how pru manages to draw such a rich portrait of john and rodney through the eyes of a third party, and without ver loosing the eye for the town eureka, where the story takes place, and its residents too! also, beware the twisty plot twist! ;)
it's such a joy to read this story: Summer House belongs to those fics (of which most happen to be by pru) that i can read over and over because of their character-typical lines that make me weep with joy. therefore, cover art yay!

this was actually the first finished picture; but not really cover art as such what with the absence of the author's name and story title...

textures: Tre-xtures
images: mine and promo pics found on google

putting mckay in the front may or may not have been the appropiate choice for the story since jack, from whose pov the story is told, hardly ever interacts with him directly. but mckay being mckay, he didn't really leave me a choice on this one... also, the line "i'm in your town using your scientific equipment" invaded my brain and made me do this in the first place. and it looks awwright?

icons taken off or made with the cover:

and a few other icons i'm conveniently adding:

I have recent fallen in love with Eureka (and all things Nathan Stark) but my absolute favorite show is SGA, so I can't wait to read these stories!

Love the icons. That's one of my favorite pictures of Hewlett!!

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

thanks a bunch! :) DH is favorite-able on pretty much every picture - it doesn't even have to be pretty...

i feel content to promise you on my mother's most corny novel that you will enjoy the story.

I have recent fallen in love with Eureka (and all things Nathan Stark)
looking at your delicious icon i can totally relate to that ;)

[margoscrazy.livejournal.com]

"stew-sseroles" *snerk* LOVED IT!!!

A story with both Rodney McKay and Nathan Stark (albeit briefly) is a story that will warm my heart!!

"...even his hair looks demoralized" was another favorite!!

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

geez, this story has so many excellent scenes that my brain goes dizzy when i try to list the best.

re: stark: the bit about him getting hit by those pheromones is hilarious.

i can't help but fall in love with mckay and mcshep over and over. i mean, who else would throw gatorade at his lover and who else wouldn't want it any other way?? man, they're so whipped.

If my boyfriend made me an invisible helicopter I would never complain again about the massive amount of time he spends on Halo 3 and/or Grand Theft Auto.

I loved how heartbroken Zoe was when she found out Shep was gay! Poor kid, she can't win!

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, very pretty!

And now I might have to read the fics. (I didn't before because Eureka just didn't grip me <.<)

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, thank you!

yes, you do! (i know. it didn't suck me in like the whoverse and sga and such, either. but it's most certainly an alright show; and you don't have to know the backstory or anything to follow the fic.)

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

I watched only the first few minutes of episode 1. It was just... boring? D: I don't know! I mean it sounded so promising, with the cool sci-fi stuff...

[margoscrazy.livejournal.com]

You should totally give it another shot. The pilot episode did suck, but move on to episode 2 and you'll like it much more, I promise!

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

OK, I'll give it another chance, lucky it's still on here. :D

[margoscrazy.livejournal.com]

If you don't like it after attempt #2 (or at least think Nathan Stark's a little bit hot) you can hunt me down and call me names. I can take it!!

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

Actually, the geeky guy is more my type.

... you meanie...?

[margoscrazy.livejournal.com]

Um, yeah, we can work on your trash-talk.

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

Heh!

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

come on, baby! you can better! *cheers you on*

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

I'm a nice girl, I don't even know any bad words!


... really. *shifty*

PS: New layout is new!

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

i think that was actually quite rude of me. sorry. darling. (let this be the day of gentle names calling! :D )


i rubbed myself a bit against it so it's not that new anymore. and it kinda grew on me. :)

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

Oh, honey! I could never be mad at you. :3

I like it! And your new icons too (especially this one makes me LOL) :D

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

o sweetiebum! *blush*

yay! thank you!
this icon pretty much summarizes janto for me, in more than one way.
and ianto in your icon is, for his standards, practically lol-ing. :D

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, sugarplum! *giggles*

Yeah, pretty much. XD

When I added too much red to this one, he looked like he was wearing lipstick.

Kinky, Ianto!

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

well, he scheduled a smile for that day, of course he's wearing lipstick! next thing you know he wears a nice dress to be real pretty hoping that jack will notice

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

But Jack is already busy elsewhere and so Ianto ends up making out with Owen in the autopsy table <3 LOL my Jack mehness knows no bounds _..

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

but then he comes to his senses and finally returns capt. hart's 10,000 calls.

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

Jack has gone all stalkery :(

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

really?

you haven't seen Forest of the Dead, have you?

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

sounded like it ;P

Don't think so! What was it?

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

doctor who, 408+09 (silence in the library + forest of the dead): the two-parter in the planet-wide library. posted a few caps a few days ago because i need someone to rant at about a certain infuriating subplot.

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, read about it a bit. Stopped following the 10th Doctor after seeing the awesomeness that was the 9th. Oh, and lack of Master makes me sad ):

I heard that the idea was awesome, but the writing was awful? Oh, and I think I saw wank about the Doctor telling her his real name...

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

AAHH! colour me shocked! and here i thought, you, too, were following the doctor who-ever. hm.

i absolutely agree on the awesomeness of nine! he's the matter that awesome is made of (see icon). and ten is the essence of awesome (CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?). well, lack of master makes for sadface, i give you that.

so, are you saying that tennant doesn't do it for you? wow.

do you remember where you've seen the name-revealing wank?

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was surprised too, that it didn't grip me.

(MAYBE I NEED NEW GLASSES?) Seriously, I don't know either. I mean I saw 10 before I saw anything of 9, what with the Master and all, then I watched the first 2 episodes of Season 4, and it was kind of "meh", but then Pro7 started airing the 9th and every episode filled me with giddy sci-fi glee, and then they started airing the 10th and... nothing.

Yeah, I know. But f!s already assured me that I'm not the only strange one around here! :D

Just saw someone talking about the lack of wank about it, and someone else chiming and to tell WTF ARE U BLIND?! So, no idea D:

PS: Blinking 9 makes me happyyyyyyy

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

comments squeezed like that make me nervous.

but i need to understand!

how do you feel about a new post? pm? skype?

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

There's that handy function that turns off the layout style on posts, so that comments have all the space they need~

Or Private Party Post, AIM or mail? XD

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

yes, i know. done ;)

mail it is, then.

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

alright. as tonight's host of the Call Me Names show, i'll give you a quick overview of the rules: you simply chose a dirty adjective and then add an offensive noun. then you say it out loud and the action begin. now, girls, come closer and get your fingernails ready!

*rubs hands*

[margoscrazy.livejournal.com]

I'm having trouble coming up with an offensive noun. Guess I'm out.

*pout*

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

that is a helluva great icon!! did you make it? i'm snatching it for further looking-at!

i just suggested that we should switch to endearments. so don't pout, honey-bunney! and have a carrot! :D

[margoscrazy.livejournal.com]

I didn't make that one (I made this one, though, isn't my talent unbelievable?!?!). I stole the John one from someone else so I can't help you with crediting. I can crop a picture down to size, that's where the skills end!

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

well, like i said, i find it alright; nothing more, nothing less.
i feel it flirts a bit to casually with cliche but it's got some entertaining characters. i like zoe, the sheriff's daughter, a lot (you get to see her regularly from ep03). and nathan stark is magnet to all available sexes ;) (his geeky science employee practically *melts* every time he sees him...)

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

The main character didn't do anything for me. I think there's something wrong with me...? Likable female characters are rare, so I think I'll give it another try :)

[mf_luder_xf]

That's perfect! I absolutely love it.

[coffeestudies.livejournal.com]

oh thank you! i'm very glad you like it.
