SGA 2020 Rec List - part 1 (Jan-Mar 2020)
Dec. 28th, 2020 02:21 pmAs is traditional I humbly present a rec list of wonderful SGA fics that were posted in the past twelve months.
I am still wowed and amazed by the talent that this fandom still has to give. So, without further ado:
Title:Missing
Author: LogicGunn
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 11,558
posted date 29 March 2020
description: “There are two hundred and six bones in the human body."
why this should be read: Delicious Rodney Whump!
Title:The Tock Is A Lie
Author: LogicGunn
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 17,845
posted date 12 March 2020
description: “But you fixed it, right? I mean, my foot is fine, it’s right here.” Rodney flings the covers back to show them, but where his lower leg and foot should be there’s a bandaged stump. Elizabeth pulls back from the bed in shock, and Teyla places a comforting hand on her shoulder. “What? No. That’s not- My foot, where’s my foot?”
why this should be read: LogicGunn fics and Rodney whump are probably a bit of a recurring theme on my rec lists but this one is incredible. It deals with permanent injury (no magic fix here which I am very grateful for) and it deals with it incredibly well. One that I’ve read many many times already this year!
Title:Keeping Up With The Joneses
Author: scarletmanuka
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 13,018
posted date 11 March 2020
description: While Teyla is on maternity leave for her second child, Sheppard decides to train up Captain Jason Jones to become a team leader. As Sheppard and JJ seem to become fast friends, Rodney feels more and more left out. He decides that in order to gain Sheppard's attention back, he will have to become what he believes Sheppard desires - stoic and manly.
why this should be read: I may have a thing for bullied Rodney and this one hit all the right spots!
Title:Noncompliance
Author: LogicGunn
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 1,062
posted date 28 February 2020
description: “They’ll take away your comforts one by one to wear you down.”
why this should be read: This might be my most read fic of the year. It’s short but it packs a punch!
Title:Dragon Hunters
Author: Antares
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 9,425
posted date 12 February 2020
description: John and Jeannie are on their way to hunt the dragon that kidnapped Rodney.
why this should be read: Fun and entertaining fairy tale fic!
Title:Breathing Underwater
Author: all of space
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 6,224
posted date 04 February 2020
description: AU inspired by Metric's "Breathing Underwater". Rodney is on a vacation with John, but things aren't as they seem.
why this should be read: The whole one of the trapped is a virtual environment trope is abundant in SGA and this is a welcome addition to it!
Title:In Case of Dire Consequences
Author: Brumeier
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 1,864
posted date 17 January 2020
description: Rodney never asked for anything from John, and the one time he did, John wasn't sure he could bring himself to help.
why this should be read: It’s a Good Omens AU with Rodney taking the Crowley part.....
Title:Ace
Author: pebbles1971
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 6,877
posted date 14 January 2020
description: John hadn’t had anyone touch him in far too long and this felt too damn good just to pull away from. Rodney was cosy and warm and soft and honestly, John was going to enjoy whatever this was while it lasted and see what happened.
why this should be read: Asexual representation
Title:The Adventures of Rodney Hood
Author: ami_ven
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 7,449
posted date 11 January 2020
description: Rodney Hood is an outlaw who robs from the rich to give to the poor and Lord John is the Prince Regent’s ward, held prisoner until the return of the lost Queen Elizabeth.
why this should be read: I’m a huge sucker for fusions and the decision to put Rodney in the Robin Hood role is inspired
Title:Espers
Author: esteefee
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 8,336
posted date 05 January 2020
description: SSA Rodney McKay of the Extrasensory Unit has something to hide. If his partner, SSA Sheppard finds out, Rodney might lose him forever.
why this should be read: Another super fun AU!
All other rec lists can be found here!
As a bonus: see below the cut for the one (1) fic I wrote in the first quarter of 2020:
