Time Is An Arrow, Time Is A River by princessofg; 5.575 words

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, slash, r, stargate sg-1 — theantimodel @ 4:39 pm

Stargate SG-1: Jack/Daniel.

I really like princessofg’s Jack and Daniel. This story is set in early season 7 while Daniel is freshly de-ascended and is still regaining his memories. Lovely details.

pars pro toto by komos; 10.000 words

Filed under: 10.000-20.000 words, slash, nc-17, stargate sg-1 — theantimodel @ 4:38 pm

Stargate SG-1: Jack/Daniel.

This is a different, harsher Daniel than canon really suggests but Komos makes me buy it the same way she makes me buy nearly everything she writes: because I am a complete sucker for internal logic and interesting characterization.

Pars Pro Toto

that pon farr thing by chelle; 16.229 words

Filed under: 10.000-20.000 words, slash, nc-17, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 4:36 pm

Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay.

Funny, sweet, just this side of schmoopy and hotter than hell. John has uncontrollable seizures and Rodney’s the only one who can help.

That Pon Farr Thing

string theory by toft froggy; 11.709 words

Filed under: 10.000-20.000 words, slash, nc-17, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 4:36 pm

Stargate Atlantis : Sheppard/McKay.

An Orchestra AU in which John is a violinist and Rodney is a prodigy conductor and they are both broken and put together again in interesting and complex ways. This is the kind of AU that just fully envelops you, where the universe is so rich and the characters so spot on that everything clicks immediately.

String Theory

missed the saturday dance by zeotrope; 15.000 words

Filed under: 10.000-20.000 words, slash, r, stargate atlantis, omg favorites — theantimodel @ 4:34 pm

Stargate Atlantis : Sheppard/McKay.

15.000 words + graphics, audio, and video. Utterly engaging. A gorgeous, gorgeous telling of the story of John Sheppard, World War II test fighter pilot and Dr. Roney McKay, airplane engineer. This is well worth more than two read throughs, it’s lovingly detailed throughout and put together so well.

Missed the Saturday Dance

Things to Do In Denver When You’re Dead by cesperanza; 12.454 words

Filed under: 10.000-20.000 words, slash, nc-17, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 4:33 pm

Stargate Atlantis : Sheppard/McKay.

Set during the team’s first return to earth back when Sheppard was still Major Sheppard this is a lovely filling in canon’s missing blanks type story, one of my favorite genres of fanfiction.

terms of service by resonant; 19.000 words

Filed under: 10.000-20.000 words, slash, nc-17, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 4:31 pm

Stargate Atlantis : Sheppard/McKay.

When Resonant takes on a cliché you’re pretty much guaranteed a good time. Terms of Service is Res’ take on slave fic and it’s fabulous.

“You’re telling me that you would sell your bodies for curiosity, orbital shielding, and a quarter-charged ZPM?”

“Well, yeah. Who wouldn’t?”

Terms of Service

lover come back by brighidestone; 9.938 words

Filed under: 5.000-10.000 words, slash, nc-17, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 4:30 pm

Stargate Atlantis : Sheppard/McKay.

Written for the reel_sga challenge and based on the 1961 romantic comedy of the same name this is a complete romp of an AU. I love the set up and how well in character Brighid kept both Rodney and John even while transposing them into a completely different setting, there’s a nice weaving of canon into this story that really reminds me exactly why I love AUs so much.

Lover Come Back

your inevitable unhappy ending by helenish; 14.610 words

Filed under: 10.000-20.000 words, slash, r, stargate atlantis — theantimodel @ 4:28 pm

Stargate Atlantis : Sheppard/McKay.

I have no idea how I missed this story on the first go-round because I’m about 7 months late now, but anyways, perhaps there are still some people who haven’t read this either. I should preface with the fact that I do not always love Helen’s writing. I often find her style to be a little to sparse for my tastes. This story, however, breaks the pattern in fabulous ways. It’s complex, and just slightly painful, and very subtly character driven and I adore it. Also, the title is wonderfully misleading.
