Stargate Atlantis
McKay/Sheppard- 6 Recs
The Spare by wickedwords--Harlequin AU. John has to marry Rodney for the good of his country.
"John." Rodney's eyes widened and he quickly glanced away, twisting the glass in his hands. He was kinda cute when he was flustered. "This is a little weird, isn't it? Meeting someone for the first time on your wedding day?"
Looking for Lamour by trinityofone--John and Rodney go on a road trip. I like jealous!John.
Rodney complains right up until the moment his corned beef hash arrives; then he’s shovelling it in, making vaguely pornographic noises. When he stops to use the bathroom on the way out, John sneaks over to the resister and buys a little orange and yellow MOODY’S DINER magnet; he sticks it in his pocket, already imagining the look of surprise--followed by hash-inspired lust--that’ll cross Rodney’s face when he surprises him with it, months from now, on an entirely different planet.
Tango by astolat--Written for the Mystery Schmoop Week at
undermistletoe. Rodney works miracles after orgasm.
"Come on, Rodney, I've seen you pull off stuff way harder than this!" John yelled back. "You can do this, just-just-" and then he grabbed Rodney's belt and started yanking at his pants.
Students of Hope by Scrunchy--Set years after the Atlantis expedition. John writes to Rodney and finally gets a response.
When the doorbell rang, everyone just stopped and looked at each other. Carson, check. Radek, check. Elizabeth and Lorne, out of sight, but check. John's fingers tightened around the arms of his chair, then he pushed himself up, hurtling towards the door with no pretense of calm.
Office Space and Other Tools of the Villainous Plot by refracting--AU. John is the newest bodyguard for billionaire Rodney McKay.
“Oh, all right, because he keeps sneaking in and poking at things when he’s bored.” Rodney waves a hand, nearly knocking over a framed portrait with the president.
#435, The Atlantis Local Stitch'n'Bitch Chapter by rageprufrock--John gossips and makes scarves. Rodney is utterly clueless.
John Sheppard lounging with what had to be a dozen female Atlantis personnel, laughing and chatting. His hair was messier than usual and he was dressed down, in a black t-shirt and jeans and there was no thigh holster--Rodney observed with a little note of regret--and he was wearing sneakers. Also, he was helping them make balls of yarn and eating banana pudding.

Vince/Stuart- 6 Recs

ship_manifesto if you're unfamiliar with this fandom.
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do by Tia--Stuart and Vince have their first break up. There's angst and sex and laughs and the whole group gets involved.
"Three years?" Collin said as Stuart had shown him out. "Vince was a lucky bloke."
"Vince is none of your fucking business. Beat it."
Collin smiled softly. "Still is a lucky bloke. Bye Stuart."
The Eiffel Tower by Tia--Stuart makes a mistake and actually has to face the consequences. It's incredibly satisfying.
"And I'm going to be selfish now too Stuart. If you want to go and cop off with other blokes I won't say anything. I won't get angry or threaten to leave again - at least I don't think I will, but..." he hesitated, glancing at Stuart from beneath his lashes, "if that's how it's going to be, then I-I want the same er...courtesy."
Stuart froze. "What d'you mean?"
World's Biggest World 1 and
2 by Mallory Klohn--Vince and Stuart travelling around America. I love Stuart pursuing Vince, because he's still so much Stuart that you almost feel bad for Vince--he doesn't stand a chance at resisting.
People might say that Stuart was selfish, or vain, or insensitive. They might call him cruel, hedonistic, superficial, they might say that he was a blight on humanity, blessed with so many gifts and pissing them away at a whim, but nobody ever said he couldn't pick a moment.
Salvaged Grace by the Rhipidon Society--Another first time on the trip to America. This time it's Vince doing the pursuing and it still works. I just...I love these boys so much.
What Vince did like ... that was a mystery. Because those were the shags he didn't talk about. Fantastic, he'd say. Magnificent shag. And that would be it. No details. Nothing Stuart could make use of. Recently, Stuart had begun to wonder if that was deliberate.
But Once A Year by Cesare--Christmas AU that takes place after the first episode of the second series. Vince gets some insight into Stuart's life a la Scrooge.
"Just me at first," Stuart said. "Eventually I'll be having a friend move in."
"What?" Vince said aloud, quite involuntarily. That was bloody well news to him. He was brought up short, though, by the peculiar sound of his own voice-- hollow and insubstantial, like a whisper, like a ghost.
Promises, Promises by Paddy--So very good, but it made me want to tear my hair out. I kept yelling at the screen "stick up for yourself, Vincent! What would your mother say?" It’s a look at a sexy, naughty Stuart and how much Vince loves him.
"Come and kiss me goodbye."
And like the sad twat I am, I do. I kiss his mouth and it is soft. He runs his hands up my chest and back down and onto my crotch which is already protesting about my leaving plans. His kiss, his touch, his smell, and I am lost. He always wins.
