This is a short, lovely set of vignettes which beautifully illustrate a future I would love to see happen in the Atlantis universe. This story definitely falls outside of my norm (long, plotty, R/NC-17) but it’s an absolute jewel.

Five Ways Daniel Improves Atlantis

Canon gives us hints of Wilson not being the good, nice guy he seems to be and this story expands on that in some really cool ways. Missing scenes from eight episodes in which Wilson is at his manipulative best. I couldn’t remember all of the details from each of the episodes Descrime wrote about, but I remembered enough.

Shape of the Universe

A good post-Devil’s Trap story, note: this is, obviously, chock full of spoilers for the season 1 finale.

Crash

OMG Dean and Sam and an orphaned kid and the metallicar and omg. Dean is so, so awesome when he’s all protective and grudging.

Untitled

First time fic, romantic and lovely without ever crossing the line into schmoopy or sacharrine. I really like Princessofg’s Jack and Daniel and I love that this story is just ansgty enough that you’re not quite sure where she’s going to take it.

A Date, But No Flowers

I generally like longer stories than shorter ones. This particular story is a stellar exeption to the rule. It’s fairly short but perfectly moody and atmospheric. Stories like this are fantastic because every word in them serves a purpose. I love Sam, and I was sad to see him go. Without getting too meta on you all, I think in a lot of ways Sam’s leaving the show signified an end to the first stage of the show. This is a great story because it deals with that situation in a way that the show never did.

Free Night and Weekends

This series is really good. Spoilers for the first two episodes of Season 2 In the Shadow of the Gunmen 1 &2 it’s a gen story, no pairing but the characterization is good and she’s added a lot of interesting depth to the events post-shooting.

Time and the Fates of Man

Wherin Sam takes Josh to Florida for vacation. First time fic, good but not particularly great.

You and Me in a Rowboat to Rio

This is good, it’s long it has a politically driven plot and a good amount of angst and confusion. It also has some Josh/Amy and even less Sam/Ainsley so if the het really scares you then stay away.

You and me of the 10.000 Years War

This is a really funny story. It’s totaly crack fic but it’s really fantastic, there’s fuzzy alien pets and misunderstandings and just, yes to everything.

Once Upon a Furry Octopus

Lacey’s good at first time fics, this is a post-Grace Under Pressure story that deals with Rodney’s hallucinations in a slightly different manner than you might expect.

Very, Very Improbable

I have a lot of love for Lacey’s writing because her characterization is always interesting and her characters very fallible and very real. This is a nice post-Defiant One story about how Rodney deals.

A Little Learning

A nice post-Grace Under Pressure story where Rodney needs to leard how to trust people.

We Have Lingered

This story made me smile the entire time I was reading it. Great Rodney.

Pointless

This is pretty short but every word counts and John is fantastic in it.

Sum

This was written for the Pucker Up Challenge; I totally love stories where John lusts after Rodney. It’s pretty much a guarantee of good things to come.

If It Must Break

Rodney’s an addict in the best way:

his urge to eat their heads mellowed slightly if they sacrificed two cups of freshly brewed Blue Mountain to him before they pleaded their cases.

C₈H₁₀N₄O₂

The sga_flashfic school challenge has been good to me. This is another they-met-before-atlantis story, Rodney’s a museum expert and John’s on a school trip to Canada. 4,700 fantastic words which only serve to make me fall just a little more in love with John and Rodney.

Hands On Science

A fascinating take on Heightmeyer’s experiences in Atlantis, and her diagnoses of the main cast. Make sure to read the comments for some interesting meta.

Ni A Sabios Ni A Ricos

This is one of those stories that really helps solidify the characters in your mind. Basically, it’s Jack’s take on John after their post-Seige III return.
