Mortari and I had a discussion awhile ago about wing!fic, and given that it's a theme that I know a lot of people enjoy, I thought that it'd be a good idea for an SGA recs list. I didn't actually find as many as I expected, so it's more of a mini-list at this point, but I'll update and add more as I find them.

Note: All McKay/Sheppard, all the time

( 4 Wing!fic recs & 1 Wing!art rec )

I was the McKay reccer on stargateficrec in March, and I've decided to re-post those recs here, so I have them all in one place. I do apologize if this is your second time seeing them, maybe consider them extra-recced?

I have a soft spot for fics where a character is either turned into an animal (Animal Transformation) or written as if they've always been an animal (Animal AU). Part of it is - hey, cute animals! (Which is why a number of these recs prominently include the word "adorable", and the only reason more of them don't is because of judicious editing ( Read more... )

This recs list focuses on Stargate Atlantis high school or college-aged AUs, where John and Rodney meet while in high school or college. I adore AUs in general, and seeing the two of them when they're still young and trying to figure out who they are and what they want from life is irresistible.

This list was compiled for 14valentines's Day 12: Economics & ( Read more... )

Some of these fics will probably be familiar, as they're the type that tend to take fandom by storm. These are the "Epic" fics, that by definition are relatively long and typically take place over a year or longer, giving us a much more long-term sense of the personalities, lives, and changes that occur to the characters. So when you're in the ( Read more... )

I freely admit that I'm a sucker for fics where John or Rodney were straight (or felt they couldn't admit to having "those kind" of feelings) before falling in love/lust with the other. And when coming up with a list of 35 fics took no time at all...well, clearly some of the best authors in this fandom love the trope as much as I do. Lucky, lucky ( Read more... )

There are times when I'm in the mood to read something funny, but I don't have a lot of time, or I just need a quick laugh to cheer me up a bit. That's the purpose of this recs list - short, funny Stargate Atlantis fics. I tried to be relatively broad in my definition, so the stories here range from cute and funny first-time fics to PWPs where ( Read more... )

Genderswitch in Stargate Atlantis fic is typically John or Rodney changing into a woman because of a run-in with an Ancient device or random priestess. Personally, I like this genre because the character has to consider what aspects of themselves are due to their physical sex and what aspects are more deeply ingrained, and other characters often ( Read more... )
