Daemonology by trinityofone (PG-13)
For the first daemon!AU this month, I've decided to start with what I've read most often--the one I keep coming back to because it's simply that fulfilling.
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Length: ~8,300
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Spoilers through season 2
Author on LJ: trinityofone
Author Website:
Summary: They had always wanted to fly; John couldn't fly; Nioke flew for him.
Why this must be read: I can't honestly describe the impact this fic had on me. Trinityofone is an amazing author, but this fic is outstanding. The introduction of daemons ends up being a commentary on life in Atlantis, the Wraith, how Rodney views humanity, and how John deals with emotions. This fic is everything I love about SGA fandom in a nutshell.
The choices for John and Rodney's daemons are particularly interesting here. Actually, everyone's daemons were wonderfully chosen, and everyone is so perfectly in character, that this fic feels like a missing episode. This is, perhaps notably, one of the two daemon fusion fics I rec to people interested in the idea. In short: My favorite part was everything.
