I've said this in my journal, now I'll say it here where the three hundred and ninety two members and six hundred and thirty eight watchers can read it.

I don't speak a lot but I'm going to say this.

These fics do not rec themselves and with this many people watching the community and being involved with the community we should not be begging for volunteers on a month to month basis. This month is especially bad and quite frankly, it's embarrassing.

I know it may seem intimidating to do this but I promise you it's not. We're not asking for a Siskel & Roper review just the pertinent information and a little why you liked it. A minimum of four recs in a month is hardly a stretch either. One a week? Twenty minutes to do and that's if you're a slow typist.

Believe me when I say if we don't get enough people volunteering, the community will cease to exist and it won't be because we haven't tried. At this point we've done everything short of rec every single category at one time ourselves.

At the end of the day, the ball is in your court here.

A minimum of four stories in a month...

That's all we're asking.

eta: if you're not sure *where* to go exactly the volunteer posts are listed in memories here. They're in a different comm so as not to clutter this one up.

Why This Must Be Read:
This is so sad. So many things left unspoken between sheppard and weir. It makes you want to scream because you want John to say those things but at the same time it just wouldn't feel right because of the situation. Would it mean any less, perhaps.

One day, he promised himself, he would share all the thoughts and dreams and horrors and pain and joy he had experienced, before them, and then everything he had known and felt since having met her (the damage upon meeting her having been done; knowing instinctively, even then, that he could never go back; she would forever exist, in some way, to him). One day, when things had moved beyond the physical, had progressed far enough, he would speak.

Why This Must Be Read: First of all, this story isn't finished. It was originally published back in '04 but was updated as recently as two weeks
ago, so I think it's a safe bet to put time into. Secondly, I love the Buffy: the Vampire Slayer character Xander. He's like the glue that holds the
group together, the one that reminds them all of thier humanity and just what they're fighting for when it's so easy to forget due to the special
abilities Buffy and Willow have. While timing and a bit of geography are not quite accurate, the story has a good plot and with Xander as the focus from
the Buffy side of things, it's an enjoyable read.

Why This Must Be Read: Daniel in Command of SG-1 is a really interesting concept that works great in a Crossover, after all who could possibly replace the original members of SG-1? Using the much loved characters from the Sentinel (well, loved as far as I'm concerned) the writers of this series did a wonderful job capturing the essence of all the characters. The main story is Gen, but there are slash interludes so you can read all the subtext you want into the main stories, or blissfully ignore it. Works really well in my mind. While there are only 2 main stories there's a wealth of "fanfic" for the universe that add to the enjoyment factor.

Why This Must Be Read:
One of the things about relationship fic is how rarely there are unhappy endings. And where endings are unhappy, they tend to be of the character death, events beyond a character's control type. But relationships aren't like that - sometimes you put your heart on the line and fail.

That's what happens here, and Spubba tells it well - those little heartbreaks that add up to something more than Zelenka can bear.

Perhaps Radek isn’t the only one who can read Rodney’s mind. I can’t believe I’m standing here, the leader of Atlantis, trapped by my own guilt. Unable to leave because I feel responsible.

Why These Must Be Read:

Normally, I wouldn't rec two fics in one post, but these are both short fics that when read together, tell a lot about Rose McKay (aka femme!Rodney McKay). They show how Rose is the same McKay we know and love -- a llittle bit arrogant, confident of her own intelligence and abilities, somewhat insecure, somewhat paranoid, but with a huge caring heart underlying all of it.

Also extremely enjoyable is the interaction between Rose and Carson, which (to me) feels as realistic as if it were on the show every week.

He tapped his radio. “Colonel?”

“Yeah, Rodney,” John said, a little out of breath, and Rodney thought he was either running or in the gym, but probably running, since chances were he wouldn’t have answered if Teyla’d been beating him down.

Rodney scowled off into the middle distance. “When you said you explained everything to Elizabeth, did you, by any chance, tell her I broke your heart?”

John choked and there was a loud thunk, and then he panted, “What?”

“Everyone hates me!” Rodney yelled, then glared at a pair of grunts who were openly goggling at him before ducking into an empty corridor.

Chuckling, John said, “I don’t think that’s new.”

I'm including links to the three parts of this series.

Amazingly, achingly perfect! I adore this series and am hoping that there will be more stories in this AU to come. John is an assassin sent to kill Rodney...if that's not enough to catch your eye here's an excerpt of just why this is such an amazing wonderful fic! Funny, sweet, angsty, hot...need I go on?

Excerpt:

The silence is almost comfortable--John feels no need to fill the car with terrible music or try to carry on conversation, all to the good. Rodney has no problems multitasking, so he can study the long body beside him--Christ, black jeans, even, just *screaming* dangerous character--and Rodney'd roll his eyes, but John's not looking at him and so can't possibly appreciate how very, very unimpressed Rodney is. The dark hair is a mess, and Rodney suspects it's deliberate from the way it seems to defy both gravity and common sense.

He makes himself not stare too hard at the thigh holster, though. Sent to *kill him*. Right. Not hot at all.

"You know, the all black thing? Is it on purpose or are you colorblind?" Because he's curious now.

John's head snaps around, eyes *definitely* not on the road. "Colorblind?" and Rodney grabs for the steering wheel, because this could be the first time anyone's been *accidentally* killed by a bad assassin in a car accident.

"Eyes on the road! Oh my God, I'm going to die when you aren't even *trying* to kill me!"

And this is how you wake up married.

Hilarious! I absolutely adore Rodney in this and poor confused John. *g* Seriously, if you haven't already read Seperis' fics go read them all! Her John/Rodney fics are some of the best out there!

Excerpt:

Last night, John went to sleep with his--boyfriend? Apparently so--after extremely satisfying sex and perhaps, one might go so far as to say cuddling, though it's the Atlantean equivalent of winter and for some reason, Rodney's quarters are freakishly cold. There was some discussion of something involving particles and time loops, a short digression into C++ programming errors, and possible alternate alpha sites. Rodney had mentioned Zelenka and a biologist, or possibly, just biology, and right around the time John fell asleep, he could swear Rodney was making sad sounds about his cat. Again.

He's almost sure that this hadn't come up. Almost.

"So--you want to marry me because I put out?"

"You make it sound very, very cheap." Crossing his arms over his chest, Rodney frowns. "Drink your coffee."

John does, because, one, *coffee*, and two, he really, really needs to be awake for this. Finishing the cup in one inhale, John sets it carefully aside and tries to pull this together. Also, he wishes for his pants, because this discussion could really benefit from less in the way of nudity.

"It's logical," Rodney states, like John had asked for reasons, and John nods along, because frankly, it's just easier that way. "Obviously, we're headed in that direction, what with the dating, the sex, and the constant time spent together. We've only been actually engaged in sex for a few months, true, but it's not like at this point, we don't know each other well enough to be able to project the chances that we'll be able to continue a stable relationship. And honestly, this bed is too small, and with marriage, we can get Elizabeth to open up the larger quarters on the fourth deck. The ones with the view? Also, much nearer my lab."

It sounds--just maybe--like Rodney's in this for the real estate.

Why This Must Be Read:

An adorable first time fic. Nixa's fics are always wonderfully written!

Excerpt:

Rodney watched him, getting the strangest feeling that there was a lot more going on here than the fact he forgot about some stupid movie—and he was worried that whatever it was, it might be gone for good if he let John walk away now. Still, as he found himself lunging at him, he decided that he probably hadn't thought this through.

Sheppard spun, wide-eyed, the P90 dropping to the floor with a clang. Rodney took full advantage of his disorientation and grabbed both of his arms, slamming them both against the wall. He held John's wrists firmly on either side of his head, somewhat breathless, and they were silent for a moment. Both of them were completely thrown off balance by his actions, but the sound of the doors closing again seemed to bring John back.

"What the hell are you doing?" he shouted.

Rodney decided John probably deserved an answer, but he really didn't have a clue. "Why are you so upset with me?" he demanded.

John glared at him, letting his head fall back against the wall and staring resolutely at the ceiling. "You just attacked me, for starters," he snapped.

Rodney shook his head, ignoring John's resigned little tugs against his hold. "No, before that. How many times have I missed something because I'm working late? You never care, Major, half the time I wasn't aware you had even noticed I wasn't there."

"I always notice," John said softly, keeping his eyes directed up.

Why This Must Be Read:

An AU fic where Rodney wasn't on the Atlantis expedition. One piece of alien tech later and he finds himself on Atlantis and finding old friends, aliens, a jealous city and most importantly, John. The only thing wrong with this is that it's not long enough. A wonderful look at what could have happened to the Atlantis expedition.

Excerpt:

He blamed Samantha Carter.

She had him assigned here and taken off the Atlantis mission out of jealously, he was sure. She just couldn’t stand to lose her chance with him and now he was paying the price. He even had an ATA gene now, after the notes Dr. Beckett had left behind had been deciphered and approved for gene therapy, to help aid him in his investigation of the objects brought back by the SG teams at Stargate Command—he would have been indispensable on Atlantis.

But they hadn’t heard from Atlantis for two years. After they managed to get their hands on a ZPM but were unable to achieve a lock on the Atlantis gate, General O’Neill had tentatively listed the entire expedition as missing in action, and everyone had begun thinking of them as dead.

Rodney was trying not to think like that. Too many of them were friends, and he didn’t have any to spare. He certainly had none left on Earth.

Jealous Rodney--oblivious John. Hilariously adorable!

Excerpt:
When he finally made it into the infirmary, he was glad to see Kavanagh was no where in sight, but mildly worried that Sheppard was sitting on one of the beds, trying to push Beckett away.

"What's going on?" he asked, concerned. "Its oxygen deprivation, isn't it? I knew it. I knew it had to be."

Sheppard glared at him and Beckett shook his head. "No, it isn't oxygen deprivation, luckily. Just a wee bump on the head."

"A wee bump on the head?" Rodney snapped incredulously. "Well, you should run an MRI. He's not acting himself."

Sheppard ran a hand through his hair, and Rodney noticed belatedly the glaring hadn't stopped. "What the hell are you talking about? I'm fine."

"I have to agree with Major Sheppard on this one, Rodney. It's hardly more than a scratch." Beckett gave Sheppard a faint smile. "You're free to go, lad, but if you get dizzy or anything…"

"I'll head right back, I know, thanks." Sheppard shot Carson a beatific smile, which faded the moment he turned to look back at Rodney.

"Are you sure you're alright, John?" Rodney asked, arranging his voice carefully to sound nothing but concerned.

Sheppard's eyes widened. "You just called me John!" he said.

Rodney bristled and crossed his arms. "I can't call you John? You let Kavanagh call you John."

Why This Must Be Read: In keeping with my Need theme, this is another story about the aftermath of Need. This story is unique because it takes place months after the episode, but deals with events that affected both Daniel and Jack. I loved PhoenixE's perspective of the characters, what they did, and how they dealt with it. Daniel, especially, learns to become strong on his own, but also to accept help and friendship when it's offered and he needs it. This story is very emotional both from Jack's point of view and from Daniel's.

(This story does have at least two instances of Jack calling Daniel "Danny," but it's set in season 2 when Jack still called Daniel that occasionally, and it's not overused.)

"You could have told me," Sheppard said quietly.

"I thought about it," Rodney said, calmly. "Then I thought, oh I'll just wait until I have him pinned beneath me and show him instead."

John let out a startled laugh. "Good plan. I don't much care for explanations, anyway. I've always been a kind of learn-by-experience guy."

Rodney narrowed his eyes at that, wondering why Sheppard hadn't bothered to give him the 'just friends' speech to try and cool him down. It was obviously what he needed—did the man have no sense of self-preservation at all? You didn't tease someone in his…condition. "It's not going to be a problem," he snapped.

It wasn't. It really wasn't. McKay had a habit of falling in love with people that drove him nuts, so he could usually hide the whole love thing quite easily. No danger of annoying sappiness from him. He didn't hand out Valentines, oh no, not Rodney McKay. He just sat on them and let his dick do the talking.

"But you like me!" Sheppard said again, seemingly stuck on that point.

"That's been pretty well established, yes," McKay agreed peevishly. "Which part of 'can we not do this' did you misunderstand? Because I can break it down for you if the words aren't getting through."

"You so want me," John said, sounding annoyingly smug.

Why This Must Be Read:

Oh God! No words can describe the awesomeness of this fic! So here's an excerpt...::puts hands on hips:: You know what, really just go read all of Nixa's fics! I'm rec'ing the humor ones because they're my favorites, but she has so many wonderful fics from humor that leaves you gasping for breath to angst that rips your heart out. Brilliant author!!

Excerpt:
John wrapped his hands in Rodney's hair, nodding his agreement, and then out of nowhere he felt Rodney's hand move under him, his fingers slipping between his cheeks and he stilled. "Ah, whatcha doin'?"

Rodney pulled his hand out of his pants and John slipped quickly out from under him. Rodney watched him dart to the other side of the room and rolled his eyes. "What are you doing?"

John wouldn't meet his eyes as he idly ran his fingers down the wall. "Okay," he said. "So maybe I haven't done this before."

Rodney's eyes widened. "You haven't--what--?" Rodney shook his head irritably. "Then why did you say you had?"

"I don't know," John said defensively, "maybe because I didn't know when you invited me in for coffee you'd turn into Casanova!"

Rodney rested his head in his hands. "Oh my god. So what are you saying?" Rodney looked up at him again. "Are you saying I actually turned you gay?"
