I was recently perusing the "Abandonment Challenge" listing on
sga_flashfic, and came across
springwoof's
Left To Fend (Gen, PG).
It's a gen AU that branches off around the beginning of the second season, looking at the question "just how far would Elizabeth go to defend her people?" It's told primarily from the POV of the 'rescuers', and a definitely original approach to the concept of Independent Atlantis.
She has kindly given me permission to re-list it here, as well as the slash sequel
The Body Holographic (McKay/Sheppard, NC-17).
As a side-note: Let this serve in future as a template for posting links to fiction/fan-art/fan-vids that were written by a third party. Make sure to include the author/artist's name, the pairings and ratings of the work, and a link. Also, please (at the least), leave a comment with the author and let them know you've posted a link over here incase they're touchy about archiving. Feel free to 'rec' Gen, Het, or Slash; and I'd be interested to know if you'd like me to start a master-list similar to the one over at
parrish_lorne.
Thanks!
