Ladycat777, pure H/C, McKay, Sheppard, and the consequences of hypochondria is that people don't take it seriously when you're really sick. Slow, Slow and Steady, pg: ladycat777.livejournal.com/836027.htmlJulia, a nice, tight, singleminded hurt-comfor ficlet that covers all the bases.

"Bang" by Rageprufrock is the first entry in the 14 Valentines live journal community, and is a weird place for a feminist creative activities/good causes community to start, dealing as it does with John Sheppard walking into doors at SGC and the people at the ER assuming that Rodney is abusive. But... Rageprufrock is always hilarious, the story is funny and touching, and giving in to the fact that they're as together as anyone will ever get is entirely convincing. R, maybe. Julia, if it's Rageprufrock, you might as well just read it, see?

Auburnnothenna's "It Might Be Love" is a complete giggle from one end to the other, and other than saying R, no particular pairing, no, really, not one, just go read it... I really can't say what it's like. auburnnothenna.livejournal.com/137597.htmlJulia, except HEE!

Another story from Sheafrotherdon, this one for the "Sickness" challenge at SGA_Flashfics. I read this when I was sick, and forgot the author, but the story itself lingered in my mind and I'm glad I've relocated it. Traturian Thaw, R, McShep: John never did trust the Traturians: community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/506620.html#cutid1Julia, any story where John heads a mission report "I TOLD YOU SO" in big purple capitals is a good one to investigate

This is just cool. Some times, rarely, there's a piece of fan writing which succeeds so well as a piece of writing that the fandom and character fade into the background. Zoh-onna Omote, by Vega takes an individual, Miko Kunagi, who is not the main character in any episode and makes of her a window into traditional and modern Japanese society, her own family history, and the way in which the Atlantis Expedition functions as a social unit. It is poetic, encyclopaedic, and meticulously individual. Gen, G (PG if the parents are Xenophobic, maybe?) Julia, read it, read it!

Retrograde, like Sheafrotherdon's "A Farm in Iowa" is an open series- not somuch a WIP as a story environment which accretes over time. It's an SG-1 SGA crossover, and is mostly Gen, and mostly PG-13, although thewre are a couple of stand-alone-ish chapters which are R or barely NC-17 (the R one is "Vegas" and is barely so, not for anything except situation; it is slash, at that point, as is the NC-17 bit, "Expatriate" which is external to the main story). The story takes place in an AU where Atlantis has been cut off from Earth for three years, and where the first Daedalus visit is preceded by a few weeks by a Trust ship which... well, that's the story, isn't it, that and what comes after. We have a bemused and confusing Jack O'Neill, a dazed and dangerous John Sheppard, and the characterizations of all the members of both series is convincing and familiar. WARNING: this story ate all my free time today. In the best way possible. Julia, nice bit of writing, all around, and the "When your Job Description is a Lie" bit is worth the price of admission; it's the last bit, you have to wait, it won't make sense unless you read every other smidgen of the story

I don't generally read Stargate fic and I don't much keep up with this author (she writes some pretty serious NC-17 Spander and Sentinel stuff that I don't follow) but Nan used to rec her so I check her LJ once in a blue moon. She's got an SG1/BtVS crossover where Willow apparently opens up a portal in the fight against Glory and it crosses paths with a wormhole and Willow, Xander, Spike, Jack, Teal'c, Sam and Daniel wind up on the same planet but in a slightly alternate universe from either of theirs. So far no sex and no pairings. It's up to 10 chapters, she's posting once a week. It's got some fairly interesting observations about Xander. Jack can't quite figure him out. The first nine chapters can be found here: lit-gal.livejournal.com/tag/magical+cagechapter 10 is here: lit-gal.livejournal.com/142572.html#cutid1Funny how much trouble people who fight demons have accepting aliens and vice versa.

One reason I've gotten into the SGA fandom so securly is that all my "Read any and all by..." writers are currently collected there. Lamardeuse is most certainly one of those, and her latest piece, Thaw (McShep, NC-17, pre-series, post Siberia) is no exception. She writes coherent, cogent, convincing, plotty and well-thought out stories which are most certainly not pwp nor are they interchangeble one-size-fits-all any-series fics; there's no mistaking Rodney for, say, Blair, or Jim for Fraser... New Jersey Shore beach house, two guys with past mistakes, and it all starts with a leaky sink. Julia, and no promises

"Tadaima" by Losyark for the "Return" challenge at SGA Flashfic. Miko seems to invite wonderful writers, and invite extra thoughtfulness, like a sumi-i drawing of a bamboo leaf evokes the whole forest. Japan is not Atlantis, and Miko has not come home: community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/539837.html#cutid1Julia, until the end, that is, until the most satifactory end

I am late to the SGA love. Still can't find myself as taken with the show as my beloved early seasons SG1. But the best writers are there now and I've seen enough shows to at least be able to feel my way thru fic. And enough to know that this story is damn funny. Weapons of Some Distraction by Shrift. John and Rodney are stuck on Earth. And bored. Bored. Bored. By the time you get to the unicorn lamp and the physics of desktop catapults? I dare you not to laugh.

I don't know how I missed this so thanks ever so for connecting me to it. If anyone needs a sales pitch, see: Shrift is one of the great, great fic writers, and an indispensible archive-hoster. She writes Due South and BtVS, as well. Julia, I believe she has a personal archive listing in my messy links in the Archives and Communities thread
