Why this must be read: Stargate Atlantis and Holmes on Homes from HGTV? This fusion could have been pure crack. Instead, all the familiar characters from SGA just fit right into place in this down-to-earth story of Rodney McKay, perfectionist contractor, and his team of expert renovators, and John Sheppard, the "weirdly charming" host of his show. Team Sheppard and Co. are as far from the madness of the Pegasus Galaxy as possible and yet their unique brand of family remains intact. apple_pi skillfully paints the slow, solid build of John and Rodney's relationship on the backdrop of busy lives, everyday struggles, and growing fame – with a few twists and turns that echo life on Atlantis at its best and worst.

Why this must be read: SGA does crack with the best of them. Project Runway is crack. Put the two together, mix well under the fine hand of sheafrotherdon, and this delightful, wicked fusion takes it to another level. While everyone remains very much in character, the author carefully, deliciously bends them just so, then drops them into the pressure cooker of reality TV. Fun, insightful, and full of teamy goodness, this romp through the fashion world will leave you breathless with laughter.
