Love of his Fucking Life (by trophic) (E)

Why This Must Be Read: This is a bit dark, very kinky and blisteringly hot. How far will John go to repair his city? And what inducements will the city offer? After all, we have to imagine it can read his mind through the interface and knows what he secretly wants ...
Also, despite his opening line, I love Rodney's pragmatic obliviousness to what's going on.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a wonderful mixture of mission fic and character studies, centered around Rodney's POV and involving them all, as they figure out what's going on between them and find a way to make it work. The ending may not be quite what you expect but it's satisfying and right for them, and it's just a really great read.

I can't whet your appetite better than Hth's own summary:

Endings Unexpctedly Happy by Mira (Mirabile_dictu) (M)

Show: SGA

Rec Category: OT4
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex, Evan Lorne, Torren Emmagan, Radek Zelenka
Pairings: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard/Teyla Emmagan/Ronon Dex
Categories: multi
Warnings: None
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] mirabile_dictu

Link: Endings Unexpectedly Happy on AO3

Why This Must Be Read: This is one of Mira's lovely post-apocalyptic stories which is nonetheless, as the title says, unexpectedly happy. Forced by the Wraith to flee Atlantis, the team have formed an extended family and put down roots elsewhere in Pegasus. I love how they've all matured and the lovely complexity of their relationships and the lives they've made. Mira's stories like this one, set in these kind of 'exiled from Atlantis' 'verses aren't straightforwardly happy at all, but to me, they're comfort fic of the best and most real kind.

Boys on the Floor (series) by 30toseoul (E)

Show: SGA

Rec Category: OT4 (and my apologies for being such a useless reccer this month - damn deadlines! Anyway I'm back and I'll keep them coming -heh- til the end of March)
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex
Pairings: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard/Teyla Emmagan/Ronon Dex
Categories: multi
Warnings: None
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] 30toseoul
Author's Website: see the AO3
Link: Boys on the Floor on AO3

Why This Must Be Read: This is a short series of 2 fics, combining two of my great favorites - OT4 and slave-fic (also aphrodisiacs and drunk!fic, as a bonus). In the usual 'we'll do anything in the name of trade relations' spirit of SGA, Rodney, John and Ronon become Teyla's slaves off-world at a dinner/orgy. It's hot, yes, and hits a lot of kink buttons, but the dialog is also really great and their characterizations are spot on. A whole lot of fun.

Infinite Possibilities by PennyLane (NC-17)

Rec Category: Alternate Universe
Characters: Jack O'Neill Daniel Jackson Alternate Jack O’Neill Alternate Daniel Jackson Teal’c Samantha Carter General Hammond
Pairings: Jack O’Neill/Daniel Jackson Alternate Jack O’Neill/Alternate Daniel Jackson
Categories: Slash, Pre-slash, Alternate Universe
Warnings: First Time, Established Relationship, Violence, Angst, Quantum Mirror, pre-slash, Slash

Why This Must Be Read: This is what the summary says: When Jack O'Neill unwittingly brings back the wrong Daniel Jackson through the Stargate that leaves *his* Daniel under the care of the wrong Jack O'Neill...

Two SG1 teams one Planet. The mission goes wrong and Jack takes home the wrong Daniel. I love the two different versions of Jack and Daniel One pair who have the experience of being a loving couple and the other pair still oblivious to the others feelings. Yeah Daniel and Jack together…it works.

"My Brother's Keeper" by Mice (NC-17)

Show: Stargate Atlantis


Rec Category: Other: Slash: Threesome (Carson Beckett, Rodney McKay, Ronon Dex)
Characters: Carson Beckett, Rodney McKay, Ronon Dex, John Sheppard, Teyla Emmagen, Elizabeth Weir
Pairing: Carson Beckett/Rodney McKay -> Carson Beckett/Rodney McKay/Ronon Dex
Het/Slash/Gen: Slash
Warning: DADT, homophobia, AU

Author's Website: http://archiveofourown.org/users/Mice/pseuds/Mice
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/158811?view_adult=true


Why this must be read: The story starts off with Ronon Dex learning about the ways of the Lanteans and how the American military views gay relationships. He soon tells Rodney Mckay and Carson Beckett that he wants to be their "Brother", which has an interesting meaning to Ronon and to the others.



  The story has great characterization and an interesting plot. You can definitely see the relationship build between the three of them.

Author's Website: http://www.wraithbait.com/viewuser.php?uid=126
Link: http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=718&warning=12


Why this must be read: The story is a great drama story with great character development. It starts with Carson Beckett getting the maintenance gadget attached to him and he can not get it removed from him without having dire consequences. Also, due to the gadget, he is unable to leave Atlantis ever. As a result of the maintenance gadget, Atlantis has not run smoother and they now have an extra supply of ZPMs. Needless to say, it means that the Atlantis crew can go back to Earth for celebration. Well, everyone but Carson. I won't spoil the rest of hte story but it is great. The dialog is great too.

"Mercy of the Fallen" by perryvic and Zaganthi (Caffiends) (NC-17)

Rec Category: Slash Other: Rodney McKay/Carson Beckett

Pairing: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Carson Beckett/John Sheppard, Carson Beckett/Rodney McKay, Carson Beckett/Rodney McKay/John Sheppard

Warning: AU, supernatural aspects to the characters and plot, rape, violence
Author on LJ: (as far as I know neither author has a LJ)

Link: archiveofourown.org/works/209089/chapters/312487

Why this must be read:
The plot and characters are great. The supernatural aspects are explained so the reader is able to follow along, even though you may not have heard about the supernatural characters (the author takes some from Sandman Lucifer series and the tv show "Supernatural").

I love re-reading this story. The characters are similar to their cannon, but they have a supernatural aspect to them. In addition, you can definitely see the relationships develop between John Sheppard, Carson Beckett and Rodney McKay.

"Simple Pleasures" by MistressKat (PG-13)

Show: Stargate Atlantis

Rec Category: Other Slash: Rodney McKay/Carson Beckett
Characters: Carson Beckett, Rodney McKay

Warning: AU
Author on LJ: (do not believe the author has one)
Author's Website: archiveofourown.org/users/MistressKat/works

Why this must be read:
The story has Carson Beckett working on a Fellowship in Canada and Rodney McKay as owner/head chef at a local restaurant. Carson goes to the restaurant fairly often and tends not to get what he ordered. Things start evolving from there. It's a great short story with great character development.

"Duet" by perryvic, Zaganthi (Caffiends) (NC-17)

Why this must be read:
I greatly enjoyed the series, even though there is a lot of hurt/comfort and angst. The story starts with John and Rodney being prisoners of Kolya. The story progressed very well and you could see how the various relationships progressed and how out of something evil, came something good.

"Getting What You Want" by stillrose (NC-17)

Why this must be read:
The story's summary explains everything:  Rodney never saw it coming. One minute he was complaining loudly about the early morning mission that sent him and Ronon to investigate M7P-922 while checking his scanner and the next he wasn't.

"Inviting Ronon" by TMar (NC-17)

Show: Stargate Atlantis

Rec Category: Slash: Other - Ronon Dex/Rodney McKay
Characters: Rodney McKay and Ronon Dex
Pairing: McKay/Dex
Het/Slash/Gen: Slash
Warning: It takes place around Season 4, Adult themes
Author on LJ: I do not believe the author is on LJ
Author's Website: www.wraithbait.com/viewuser.php
Link: www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php

Why this must be read:
IOA invites the front team to Earth so they can meet them and also give the front team some down time. Rodney invites Ronon Dex to stay with him for the fear of acting like an idiot around Teyla. Apparently, on Sateda, the invitation from a male into their home means something different than it does on Earth.

   I like the portrayal of Ronon and McKay in this fiction and it shows an interesting bonding between the two of them.

Why This Must Be Read: Although this story is pre-slash, I'm recommending this because it has nice possibilities -- what if the Stargate program wasn't where Radek and Evan first met? What if neither of them recognized the other? Where could that lead them?

Why This Must Be Read: Ronon's the new guy and, even though they (meaning Rodney) don't fully trust him yet, the team decide that they should include him on a little bonding ritual they've got going on. A delightful romp.

Why This Must Be Read: Based on Pride & Prejudice, it combines my love of Jane Austin with my love of Atlantis. Using the version with THE Mr. Darcy as the guide for the Austin side of things what is delivered is a well crafted, entertaining story.
