Why This Must Be Read: A sort of-tag for Common Ground, we're given a look into the mind of an individual Wraith and the murky origin of the species. This story was really interesting to read because their is such a big gap in the show's canon about the Wraith and this was a suggestion on how the species came to be so terrifying and so powerful.

Why This Must Be Read: First off, take a look at who wrote it. You've got some of the best Sheppard/Weir authors in the fandom writing this piece. They got together and wrote a 5 Things story (5 authors each writing one anonymously). Okay, that, right there? Settles it for most people. This story promised to be utterly fantastic before people even read the first sentence, and it did not dissappoint. And, no, I'm not being biased as they wrote it for me. Throw a rock at any of these authors and you're liable to hit gold when it comes to fanfiction. These ladies know how to write, especially when it comes to Sheppard/Weir.

Really, just go read the thing. I could (and have) praised this piece within an inch of its' life. It still just doesn't do it justice. Just go read it for yourself and laugh and cry and giggle some more. And then *melt*. I love five things fic, but this one takes the cake.

The Secret Life of Scientists by julad (R)

Why This Must Be Read: This first season story gives us a rare glimpse of Rodney. Rather than focusing on him as Sheppard's friend and a member of a gate team, we see Rodney in his other job as head of Atlantis's science division. We watch Rodney learn how to be a manager, how to work with the other scientists, and also deal with how Atlantis changes him - how he deals with deaths among those he manages and how his experiences in the field affect him. But we also get a glimpse of what life must have been like that first year on Atlantis as supplies became scarce and the expedition learned to cope with what the Pegasus galaxy threw at them. Through a series of funny and poignant scenes we get to know the personalities that make up the Atlantis expedition.
