Show: SGA
Rec Category: John/Rodney (werewolves). Cheating, as this one's OT4 not pure McShep, but there's no werewolf category so I'm putting it here.
Characters: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard/Teyla Emmagan/Ronon Dex (and past Aiden Ford)
Categories: Gen/Multi
Warnings: Mention of Elizabeth dying, as in canon.

Why This Must Be Read: A last rec before the end of April. This is a lovely short fic where they're all werewolves - they were changed by an alien device off-world and now they're pack. The content's basically gen but with implied off-screen OT4. It's set in an AU where the expedition never reconnected with Earth after the first year, and they're cloaked against the Wraith. I'm not quite sure what happened to Aiden but it sounds like he got stuck as a wolf, and is maybe wild out there in Pegasus somewhere. Anyway, I really like how much John loves being a wolf, running free on the mainland - the descriptions are excellent.
John gets to have this for three days out of every forty-nine, to be wild, to run with his pack. There'll be wind against his cheeks, whisking through his ruff. Strength in his body and fire in his belly. Birds to snap his jaws at, spotted pigs to chase, trees to mark, bones to gnaw, flat rocks to sprawl out on, ones that were made for soaking up sunshine. Even Rodney likes to tussle in wolf-form; rough, meaningless growls spilling from his chest as they wrestle over a piece of hide. Then there are the sounds that his pack makes when they sing, ranging from joyful yips to songs of mourning, and it's as close to holy as John Sheppard's ever going to get, so he takes it, holds on with both hands.
