Rec Category: Sheppard/McKay Pairing: Established Sheppard/McKay, passing mention of other pairings Categories: romance, slash, atlantis, au, porn, angst Warnings: John/Nancy (even in a loveless marriage) makes this partner betrayal Author on LJ: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) hestia_laceyAuthor's Website: Fic tagLink: Untitled fic for BJ FridayWhy This Must Be Read: As you might expect from a BJ Friday fic it's very hot, but it's so much more than porn. There is a beauty and power to the prose that makes the emotions of John and Rodney jump off the screen at you. In just 3500 words the author takes John (and us) on a journey from desperation, desire and sadness to release, joy and completion. Add that to supportive team and confident Rodney and you have the perfect mix of sad, sexy, painful, and joyous. ( Excerpt cut for sexual content )
Rec Category: John Sheppard & Rodney McKay friendship Pairing: none Category: AU, crack Warning: none (aside from high crack content) Author on LJ: skinscriptAuthor's Website: DimensiaLink: Joyriding on ff.net and Joyriding on LJWhy This Must Be Read: This fandom has the most whacked-out AUs of any fandom I've ever been in. And I love it. :D Actually, by SGA standards, this is relatively tame. Rodney runs an aquarium, and John ... is an orca. It probably says a lot about this fandom that he totally comes across as John despite being a whale. Various other cast members appear as both human and non-human denizens of the water park. This is short and adorable, and total cracked-out fun!
Rec Category: Sheppard/Weir Pairing: John Sheppard/Elizabeth Weir Categories: SGA; tragedy/angst; drabble Warnings: Mild Language Author on LJ: j_gudaAuthor's Website: Unknown Link: Master Plan by j_gudaWhy This Must Be Read: It's a short, sweet punch to the gut. (in the best possible way)
Rec Category: John Sheppard Pairing: Sheppard / sadism Category: John Sheppard Warning: Mentions of torture and sadism Author on LJ: magus_minorLink: http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/216976.htmlWhy This Must Be Read: So, a while ago I created for myself a "Psycho Sheppard List" of stories where Sheppard is psychotic or flat out nuts. In creating that list, I came across this story, where John has some serious trends towards sexual sadism and sociopathy that he hides very successfully behind his easy facade. It's quite short, but it packs a big impact and actually frighteningly plausible. This story inspired seven sequels by a total of three authors, each who explore a different dimension of 'what if'. ETA: There have been a lot of requests for the sequels! So, figured I would just post all the links here for everyone. Magus Minor's sequels: The Obvious PlaceOpen BladeAll of the following take place after "Open Blade": Ellex's sequels (The Shiver Trilogy): PredatorShiverFrenzyKhalessa Bloodrose's sequel: Incisionix_tab's sequel: Ripped and TornNeedless to say, *all* of the sequels contain warnings for graphic violence, sadism, etc.

Rec Category: Sam and Daniel friendship Pairing: none Categories: Sam and Daniel friendship, Samantha Carter, Daniel Jackson, gen, drama, hurt/comfort Warnings: implications of imminent torture Author on LJ: pepper_fieldAuthor's Website: My storiesLink: It's Been an Honor and Therapeutic Effect Why This Must Be Read: Fic based on musuem artifacts can't help but be entirely appropriate for Daniel, don't you think? In these paired stories, we get Sam and Daniel comforting one another, first in the middle of a rather desperate crisis and then in dealing with the aftermath. You will love Sam and her frantic need to do something, anything, even if it's not enough; you will love Daniel and his automatic choice of coping methods, and his willingness to abandon it for Sam's sake. But most of all, you will love them both for their concern for one another and their affectionate, wonderful friendship. She looked down again as Turquoise Armbands came forwards with the jade needle, blinking back tears. Sometimes all she could offer just wasn't enough.
Rec Category: Bill Lee Pairing: none Categories: Bill Lee, Sam Carter, gen, humor, episode related Warnings: none Author on LJ: redbyrd_sgficAuthor's Website: Redbyrd's Stargate FanfictionLink: OMG, They Killed Science! Why This Must Be Read: Redbyrd is famous for her fanfic fix-its of the more outrageous canon errors. Here, in this hilarious little ficlet, she tackles the insanity of the science in Red Sky with tongue planted firmly in cheek and Bill and Sam in all their geeky glory! At only 250-odd words, this will only take a minute or so to read, but it will leave you smiling for some time to come. "Nuh-huh. I'm not going to try to explain this to the General." He glanced around and leaned forward conspiratorially. "Think we can get Felger to do it?"
Rec Category: Sheppard/Weir Pairing: John Sheppard/Elizabeth Weir Categories: SGA; Scene addition Warnings: Spoilers up to 4x10: This Mortal Coil; adult content Author on LJ: gan_cericheyeAuthor's Website: Unknown Link: The Heart-Ache and Thousand Natural Shocks That Flesh Is HeirWhy This Must Be Read: If you're looking for angst and sorrow in your fic, this is one of the best ones out there for it. A very well written and vivid take on the pain that is Sparky during the horror of it being Elizabeth, but not.

Rec Category: Sam and Daniel friendship Pairing: none Categories: Sam and Daniel friendship, Samantha Carter, Daniel Jackson, gen, humor, character study Warnings: none Author on LJ: lokeiAuthor's Website: lokeis_pen Link: Cabbages and KingsWhy This Must Be Read: This lighthearted story takes place mostly in the distracted pathways of Daniel's brain, as he tries to determine why Sam is driving him to her home for a "talk." Written with deft humor and affectionate friendship, we follow Daniel's rambling "scientific method" as he catalogs ice cream habits, mannerisms, and Sam's romantic history in his effort to get to the truth. With lovely characterization and an extra touch of team love, Cabbages and Kings is a delightful fic that is sure to leave you smiling! Full disclaimer: I got to beta this one. Lucky me, eh? :) ( snippet of fic... )
Rec Category: Sheppard & McKay friendship Pairing: none Categories: original character, hurt/comfort Warnings:none Author on LJ: reen212000Author's Website: n/a Link: Rosie's Corner StoreWhy This Must Be Read: A checkout clerk in a small grocery store observes two new customers in her store, both of them obviously recovering from some kind of undisclosed trauma. I really enjoy outsider POV, and this is a neat look at Sheppard and McKay, and their friendship, through a stranger's eyes.
Rec Category: Sheppard/McKay Pairing: Sheppard/McKay Categories: romance, slash, atlantis Warnings: Mention of past McKay/Keller and McKay/Brown Author on LJ: ms_jvh_shuhAuthor's Website: Fic listLink: Eight Nacre RingsWhy This Must Be Read: Four heart warming ways John and Rodney end up wearing matching nacre rings. John's nervous terror and Rodney's bravery in asking for what he wants are perfect for a quick uplifting read. Ranging from spontaneous to planned, each gifting is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Is this what you want, he wants to ask, Do you know what you're getting into? Me? Really? But the questions are obsolete, because Rodney is clearly past questioning this thing between them, and John is well past questioning Rodney's genius.
Rec Category: Bill Lee Pairing: none Categories: Bill Lee, gen, Daniel, episode related, character study Warnings: none Author on LJ: thothmesAuthor's Website: unknown Link: Five Things Bill Lee Learned About Daniel While They Were In HondurasWhy This Must Be Read: This delightful five things doesn't only tell us what Bill learned about Daniel during their misadventures in Evolution, but gives us the chance to learn a lot about Bill Lee, too. Whether it's why he doesn't use the SGC's gym or how he classifies Daniel's bravery or his fascination with Daniel's languages and dedication to pure science, this list shines a spotlight on both characters, and does both of them proud! Bill knew he wasn't a particularly brave man, and he knew that Daniel Jackson was. After all, when Jack O'Neill walked into a room, Daniel smiled in greeting, instead of trying desperately to remain unobtrusive as most of the base's scientists would.
Rec Category: McKay/Sheppard/Beckett Pairing: McKay/Sheppard/Beckett Category: PWP, humor Warning: Slash Author on LJ: chaps1870Author's Website: Chaps1870's WebsiteLink: Official CapacityWhy This Must Be Read: There really is something extra special about combining a wicked-hot PWP with prostate exams. I'm not sure what it is, exactly, but you'll certainly find out if you read for yourself. Despite the fact that this P is for the most part entirely WP, the characterizations are great and the amusement and affection that the boys have for each other is clearly evident. And did I mention that it's super hot?
Rec Category: Sheppard & McKay friendship Pairing: none Categories: AU, John Sheppard, angst Warnings: "permanent character damage" is probably the most accurate way to describe it; not a happy story Author on LJ: harriet_spyAuthor's Website: sometimes you need a storyLink: Uncanny ValleyWhy This Must Be Read: This is possibly one of the most disturbing takes on John Sheppard that I've ever read. This is not a happy story or a comforting one -- but it's hopeful and fascinating, with great characterizations and a Rodney who is so determined and loyal that he breaks my heart.
Rec Category: Sheppard/Weir Pairing: John Sheppard/Elizabeth Weir Categories: SGA; AU; Baby!fic Warnings: N/A Author on LJ: leave_me_lightAuthor's Website: Unknown Link: Blue DotsWhy This Must Be Read: There are of course, many, many sparky baby!fics out there, but this is one of the best. leave_me_light writes a touching and fluffy fic that gives us a glimpse into what might have been. John is perfectly playful and Elizabeth is warm and lovely. There's an inventive and fun use of an Ancient "gizmo" and all and all, it's just a fun little piece of AU sparky fluff!

Rec Category: Sam and Daniel friendship Pairing: none Categories: Sam and Daniel friendship, Samantha Carter, Daniel Jackson, gen, angst, humor, episode related Warnings: none Author on LJ: penknifeAuthor's Website: Penknife to PaperLink: Debriefing Why This Must Be Read: Penknife treats us to a marvelous episode tag to Hathor, as Sam and Daniel eat takeout and discuss the ramifications of what happened during Hathor's rampage through the SGC. There is self-deprecating humor, and almost painful honesty, and wonderful characterization. The twist in perception here is perfectly Daniel, especially with the parallels he draws. And Sam is the perfect friend - no sugarcoating the situation, but just being there, with the promise that they'll both be there for each other in the future. No episode tag to Hathor could ever be a really happy one, but Penknife gets this one just right.( snippet of fic... )
