mific.livejournal.comShow: SGA/SG1/Cthulhu mythos
Rec Category: Crossover (with the Cthulhu mythos)
Characters: Rodney McKay, and all the usual suspects
Categories: Gen
Warnings: Nil
Author on LJ: nope
Author's Website: See the AO3
Link: Shadow Over Atlantis on AO3
Why This Must Be Read: This is a whole series, so it's loooong, but if you like this crossover, that's a bonus. It follows canon to some degree as the plot areas often follow the episodes, but there's a core of divergence centered around the Cthulhu mythos, in that Rodney's a hybrid "Deep One". Initially he looks as he does in canon (note those blue eyes) and during the series he transforms. If you like Rodney as a character (and he's pretty sympathetic here) you may well enjoy this, but you'll have to cope with him physically transforming into something a long way from human - while retaining his essential Rodneyness. I enjoyed how many of the team and Beckett and Radek become his first "thralls" - supposedly under the sway of his "Deep One" influence, although they seemed very much themselves to me, just inclined to support Rodney rather than assassinate him for having the "Innsmouth taint". Mostly being his thralls seemed to mean hanging out with him in the bathtub (because he's becoming aquatic - this is genfic). The writing flows well and I found it an interesting crossover. The story linked above is a short prologue, and the second story's the one to really try, to see if you like this series.
