Stargate SG-1/Atlantis: Jack/Daniel, Sheppard/McKay
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?”

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.

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.

Some fandoms lend themselves better to AUs than others. For me, SGA is one of those fandoms in which I cannot read enough AUs. This story is AU to a point: John is still in the Air Force, at least at the beginning of the story, and Rodney is still a physicist, but they never go to Atlantis. Instead, John finishes out his tour in Antarctica and goes to Iowa to live on the farm his grandfather left him when he died. And Rodney meets him there after his tire blows out near John’s farm. What I like most about this are the details and the slow build of their friendship. Good characterization and solid pacing.

Slow, hot, and lyrical; absolutely perfect for the story’s desert setting. One of my favorite things about Jenn is that she does versatility so well, infuse a story with mood and setting until it oozes with atmosphere and everything is poetry and then in the very next story she writes, she’ll do the same thing with gritty hardness and realism.

Lenore is a fabulous storyteller. Her scenarios are always inventive and completely entertaining. This is a fantastic take on the aliens make them do it genre of fic.
Stargate Atlantis/SG-1: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay/Sam Carter.
This makes two het!threesome recs in one day which is weird for me because normally I am not all about the threesomes. But this is so much more than that. Warm and layered, and told from Sam’s point of view, I love that she really gets John and Rodney and genuinely cares about them. I also love that John is so hesitant about it all, because for serious, the only way this could ever go down would have to be like that. And this is as much a John/Rodney story as anything else, which was a lovely surprise.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay.
This is a really interesting story because Toft takes all these things (or maybe really only one thing) that I didn’t think could possibly work and convinces me of them absolutely. John’s into cross-dressing and Rodney’s pretty much just into John; but it’s so much more than that too.
Stargate Atlantis: John/Rodney, with a side order of John/Teyla and implied Rodney/Teyla.
This is such a fantastic story, detailed and complex. This Sheppard is really interesting, I love that Lenore goes into his Afghanistan experience and ties it in with Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell so thoroughly. Also, Teyla especially is really excellent in this, strong and intuitive and incredibly loyal.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Funny and sweet, John is jealous and Rodney is dense.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Mmmmmm. I have such a great amount of love for they met before Atlantis fics. And this one is fabulous. John’s a nervous Air Force Academy kid and Rodney’s just finishing his masters and just yes to everything.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
I totally love this story. I’d file it under Atlantis made them do it if I had that kind of a file, but it’s so much more than that too. Great characterization and a lot of good detailing and some really fabulously funny lines. John, Rodney, and Atlantis are all really, really good characters in this.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
This is a good, long adventure fic. Good plotting and interesting characters, both familiar and original. I really liked this story but I did have some issues with it, McKay annoyed me and, while I wouldn’t normally complain about something like this, Sheppard and McKay did stop to makeout at improbable moments while they were still trying to get to safety.
Stargate Atlantis: Ford/Sheppard
This pairing should work at all but it does and it’s fantastic. Seriously, I’ve always been an OTP kind of girl for this fandom and yet–this is a really, really great example of why it’s rewarding to branch out.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Oh god, this is such an amazingly good story. Gorgeously subtle and layered, creepy and haunting and so, so good. And despite all those adjectives which would indicate otherwise, I wouldn’t necessarily call this story as a whole dark, so don’t feel like you shouldn’t read it if you stay away from the dark!fics.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Eeee! A short fic which features Sheppard as a hot construction worker! If that doesn’t sell you–well–it just should.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Eleveninches always knows how to bring the fun and this story is such a wonderful AU set in Atlantis. Sheppard is a skateboard riding botanist! Rodney is the exact same (except not in charge!) Completely hilarious and endearing.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Okay so thegrrrl always writes the best porn but this story is so much more than that. It’s a first time story with a lot of buildup and it’s long and just–gorgeous throughout.
Stargate Atlantis/Stargate SG-1 crossover: Sheppard/McKay, implied Rodney/Jonas history.
I pretty much always love Lilly’s writing and this is no exception. Fabulous characterization, her possessive John is totally, totally hot. Plus, I’m a total sucker for SGA writers who bring the SG-1 history to their stories. Seriously people, there’s 8 whole years of stargate exploration just waiting to be hinted at in your stories!
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
This is a good, solidly written something goes wrong on a mission story.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
I really like this story. Rodney gets to be the hero for once.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Lovely, lovely story about John and his kamikaze tendencies and the ancients and their creepy science tendencies.
Stargate Atlantis: Sheppard/McKay
Heh. ZPMs and math boxers and sex all wrapped into one fabulous story.
