Aug 2006 sg_recs 1: 8 Coming of Age-ish Stories

Aug 05, 2006 17:17

Last month, I was asked in my LJ about coming of age stories, so I thought I'd start off the month with that theme. All of the SGA stories are some flavor of Sheppard/McKay AU, from all-out High School AUs to ones where they met before Antarctica, with some in-between, while the SG1 Jack/Daniel story is more, uhm, based in the series universe. There are interesting ideas in all of them, and the are each character driven, retaining the essence of who the show characters are within their younger selves. Each of them -- short, long, complete or WIP -- is worth a read.

The Best Things in Life Are Free (WIP) and it's related universe stories bysmittywing
The one where Rodney gives John money to repair his dad's Delorean, and in return, John agree to make Rodney cool. In addition to the main story, which is a WIP, several side stories have been written in this universe by various authors. All of them are linked here. The main WIP is based on the movie "Can't Buy Me Love."
