Fic reviews: lgbtfest '08

Hrr, so. I had this last batch of [info]lgbtfest fics from last year that I never read. XD And now the fest is running again, so I figured I'd better get these out of the way first before I start on the new ones. ^_^;;

Four Years Later by [info]ria_oaks 2/5

Fic reviews: Stargate: Atlantis

Oh hey, would you look at that. I took a break in my fanfic reading, but I had a couple reviews written up on my harddrive, and then the last two were holiday exchange fics I betaed that I can now talk about after reveals, and tada, magically there's a review post.
