Stargate Atlantis: A Supermarket in California
Sep. 15th, 2025 05:57 pmdenynothing1 posting in fancakeFandom: Stargate Atlantis
Pairings/Characters: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
Rating: Mature
Length: 7,571 words
Creator Links: whateverrrrwhatever on AO3
Theme: Food & Cooking
Summary: John decides that California doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
It's an AU where John Sheppard inherits a supermarket right next to Cal and meets Rodney McKay, physics professor. They kiss. That's it, that's the fic.
Reccer's Notes: This is an *almost* complete AU, shot through with wonderful location details, wherein John is a veteran who spent time in Antarctica and Rodney is a professor at Berkeley. In a series of snapshots, John inherits a run-down local market, decides he likes the neighborhood, and sets about making a place for himself. Then one day, an "unnecessarily dramatic" (as described in the tags) Rodney walks through the door.
This was one of the first SGA AUs I read and it stayed with me. I truly enjoyed following John as he problem solved; first the store, then Rodney. (Spoiler: the solution is snacks.)

Subscription/Access Policy: Anyone can subscribe if you're 18+, access only granted to friends though I don't imagine I'll be posting anything locked
General Info: I'm a 2-Spirit, queer, disabled fanfic author. People have described my fanfics as comforting body horror which is the highest compliment. I've finished migrating all my fanfiction from AO3 to Dreamwidth for a variety of reasons, one of which is I want to have a more personal fandom experience as opposed to the wild wild west that is AO3/Twitter/Tumblr. I will only be posting fic on my journal but I'm happy to chat here or elsewhere too! Hoping to find people who like reading fics and writing fics in fandoms I'm in who are down to chat about nerdy fanfiction things and fandom stuff. I'm hoping to meet other fanfiction writers but totally down to become friends with other people in fandom too even if they prefer to just lurk.
As far as where my views fall - pro-queer, pro-kink, anti-censorship, pro-critical consumption, anti-bigotry, anti-harassment. That said, generally speaking I stay far, far away from people who self-label as proshippers or antishippers as I have been harassed repeatedly by both groups so for your happiness and mine, if the proship/antiship labels are something you cling to as an identity, we probably won't get along and we can part ways now. if you REALLY want to know the details of my opinions you can message me. I won't bite your head off if we disagree, I'd much rather just go our separate ways lol
Favorite Movies: Pacific Rim, Inception, and Goon. I've written fanfiction for all three though I believe I have taken down all of my Inception fics out of embarrassment by now lol
Anime: Naruto is the one I write the most fanfic for, but I dabble in MHA, Wolf's Rain, NANA, and I'm going to finally start writing some for Fullmetal Alchemist because somehow despite it being one of my favorites I haven't written for it yet. I rewatch the same things a lot and only branch out into new shows once or twice a year.

Main Fandoms: Naruto, Honkai Star Rail, My Hero Academia, Fire Emblem (Binding Blade through Three Houses), Final Fantasy VII but I rotate through many more here and there. If you want a more comprehensive list of fandoms and ships, you can check my tags page on my journal which I've used to sort my fics lol
Other fandoms: Starfighter, Stardew Valley, Final Fantasy XIII, Hades, FMAB, Trigun (Old and New), Wolf's Rain, Watch Dogs, InFamous
Fannish Interests: I write a lot of fanfiction, usually looking at dark or difficult topics alongside a lot of hardcore kink. I've been writing/reading fanfiction for over 15 years in all sorts of fandoms though the ones I mentioned above are ones I keep coming back to (Naruto/Fire Emblem/Final Fantasy) or are the ones I'm currently super interested in (HSR/MHA).
Favorite Movies: Pacific Rim, Inception, and Goon. I've written fanfiction for all three though I believe I have taken down all of my Inception fics out of embarrassment by now lol
Anime: Naruto is the one I write the most fanfic for, but I dabble in MHA, Wolf's Rain, NANA, and I'm going to finally start writing some for Fullmetal Alchemist because somehow despite it being one of my favorites I haven't written for it yet. I rewatch the same things a lot and only branch out into new shows once or twice a year.
Games: I am currently replaying my favorite Fire Emblem games again. Like with anime I don't play new things often and I already met my quota of new games this year by finally starting the Ace Attorney trilogy much to my friends' frustration that it took me this long
TL;DR: I'm generally a very chill person. I don't like call outs, I don't like weird parasocial clout stuff on social media, and I don't like harassment. There seems to be a lack of that in fandom these days so I'm looking for other fandom olds who are also looking for a more laid back, chill, not numbers driven/clout driven fandom experience :)

Sep. 14th, 2025 06:35 pmGiving Lucky Star a second chance
Sep. 14th, 2025 07:43 pmfennectik posting in anime_mangaWhen I first watching Lucky Star, I simply couldn't get into it. I know its akin to American shows like Seinfeld where it's practically about nothing and I got behind that, but I simply couldn't got to be invested after the first four episodes. Decided to give it another go after watching clips on youtube and finding Izumi practically adorable after all this time.
Had also finished Area 88 (2004,) and despite its mild ending and how it directed itself, I enjoyed it for what it was.
Another Anime with a cute protagonist I'm trying out is The Great Jahy Won't be Defeated (or something like that,) which so far it's entertaining, and Heatguy J, which I'm sure I've watched some episodes of it before. Best way I can describe it is like Inspector Gadget if he were badass.
Will update on more progress on said titles.

Leverage: The Food Cart Job, by page_runner

Theme: food & cooking, casefic, competence, outsider pov
Summary:
She was only here for a long weekend, using this convention as an excuse to see Alice for the first time in over a year, or using Alice as an excuse to get away for a convention, or using both as a reason to finally take a vacation, because it was about damn time.
At least, that was the original plan.
Reccer's Notes:
Peggy Milbank is a side character who appears in 2 episodes: once when Parker's alias "Alice White" gets called in for jury duty, and once when Parker, Sophie and Tara sneak into a ball at an embassy for an event where Peggy does the catering.
This fic has her meeting the team once more, and has her involved in a job in Portland when they investigate a sketchy business man who drives independent food cart owners out of business, not shying away from inflicting violence on them in the process.
While the team does their thing, Peggy offers to take over the food cart, and does so with remarkable competence - learning a whole new cuisine on the fly. Food plays a big role in the whole story, because of their case, but also because now there are several people in one place who care a lot about food. It's also about a community of food cart owners. And just like Eliot found a way out of his violent life by learning how to cook, there's a side plot in this story how he does that for others too.
While the ship Eliot/Parker/Hardison isn't the main focus, it is definitely in the background, and Peggy's perspective is a really nice outsider POV on them, so I tagged it as such as well.
