Four times Jack didn't leave a man behind, and one time he did

Why this must be read: Because you never left a man behind until you did. An excellent look into pre-series Jack, ranging as far back as his teens.

Please Hang Up And Try Again

Why this must be read: Five phone calls Daniel Jackson never got, interspersed with several phone calls he did get while ascended. Abyssinia paints some really awesome possible realities for Daniel. Amazing and poignant and I would have loved to see each and every one on screen.

The Sweet Spot by Sian (P-13/R)

[cynic2022.livejournal.com]

Show: Stargate Atlantis

Rec Category: McKay/Sheppard/Beckett
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Carson Beckett, Radek Zelenka
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard/Beckett
Het/Slash/Gen: Slash

Why this must be read: As evidenced by the fact that I've been reccing them for awhile, I love McKay/Sheppard/Beckett. That said, they're even better with extra added Radek, who is such a delightful addition to this threesome pairing without becoming intrusive. I was quite impressed with the fact that despite the (temporary) addition of an extra partner, this fic still remains very much one of the relationship between Carson, Rodney and John. Add in a bit of relationship angst and seriously hawt tattoos and you've got a must read fic. Also, while this is not an explicit fic, and I am very much a reader of explicit fic, I found that the lack of graphic slashing seemed to add, rather than detract from the story. An excellent fic for those who may not want so much smut in their slash.

Why this must be read: An exploration of Athosian backstory that makes the Pegasus galaxy feel just a bit more real. I got goosebumps reading it.

Summary: All this has happened before, and all this will happen again. (~1,500)
