So it's winter break and I took the week off of work to relax and none of my friends are home from school yet and I'm SO BORED. Thus the over-abundance of recs. Sorry about spammage.
Stargate Atlantis
McKay/Sheppard- 11 Recs
Dissonance by trinityofone--McKay makes some confessions during one of the more painful cultural ceremonies.
"I’m the one who ate the last of the Chex Mix, I’m the one who scratched Jumper Three, and I’m the one who let it slip that you accidentally sexually assaulted that llama thing on M4P-298! And when I was in grade five, I knocked my sister Jeannie down the stairs and blamed it on the dog!”
Fluffy Flying Lemons by ToraK--Rodney's afraid of the fluffy flying lemons. In his defense, this is pretty freaky.
A fluffy lemon about the size of a regular, non-fluffy one, with spindly yellow legs tucked under its body and papery, semi-opaque wings fluttering above it. Rodney backed away slowly, not taking his eyes off it.
In Return by tigs--Zelenka plays the middleman between McKay and Sheppard post-Trinity. I love woobie!McKay.
"I am going to resign from Sheppard’s team," Rodney says a moment later. "Take a leave of absence, something." Still, he is not looking at Radek, but he sounds as if it is taking great effort to form each word with his mouth. "I was going to put your name forward as my replacement. Thus, favor."
The Adventures of John Doe and The Hot Stranger by Nel--John and Rodney get amnesia.
"What should we call each other?" Hot Stranger asked.
"I don't know. Dibs on John Doe!" he exclaimed in triumph.
Pudding, And Other Rare Commodities by skoosiepants--John turns down sex for pudding. I think you see the tactical error here.
And then the tone, coupled with his last few words - really, the past five minutes of his rant now that he rewound them in his head, and how had John missed that? - nearly knocked the breath out of him, and he asked incredulously, “Wait. Wait, are you honestly trying to trade sexual favors for my Snack Pack?”
Good Together by danvers--John woos Rodney. I will never get sick of this. There should be more of this.
"Stop trying to woo me!" Rodney yelled.
"Go out with me already!"
A Little Learning by Lacey McBain--John completely misinterprets the situation, and Rodney gets all skilled and stuff.
“You are my friend. You asked for assistance. I would be remiss if I did not do all I could for you.” John sensed she had moved closer, probably standing right in front of Rodney. Maybe she placed her hands on his broad shoulders, leaned in so her forehead touched his, Rodney’s hands pale and large against Teyla’s bare shoulders. “But, I do believe you should tell Major Sheppard-”
In Passing,
In Flux and
At Rest by kellifer_fic--AU that starts out in high and takes us all the way until post-Siege III. John keeps leaving Rodney.
“No return address. It’s strange. It’s a postcard of a sunset and the postmark is from Guam. It just says ‘Wish you were here’.”
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea by Merry--Another one of those fics that it's pointless to rec since you've already read it, but what the hell. Sort of made AU by "Grace Under Pressure."
Rodney turned from the viewscreen and stared. "Do I look like a marine biologist? For all I know, Atlantis is under attack by a six-foot-long goldfish with sucker...things...on its head. Maybe it's trying to eat the City."
