SGA 2018 Rec List - Part 1 (Jan-Mar 2018)
Dec. 28th, 2018 03:46 pmAs is traditional (three years makes a tradition, right?) 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:Mixed Results
Author: nagi_schwarz
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 2,012
posted date 09 January 2018
description:Written for the resolutions comment_fic prompt: "Stargate Atlantis, John Sheppard, he resolves to be a bit more forthcoming with his feelings, with mixed results."
why this should be read: This is hilarious and super cute. John's distaste of talking about his own feelings is so canon, I really can't blame everyone for the, ah, mixed results.
Title:I Know You
Author: Ellana17
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 1,669
posted date 16 January 2018
description:“So, how long did it take you guys to realize it wasn’t me?” John asked, half-jokingly.
why this should be read: It's very sweet and John's little speech to Rodney about how he would have been able to tell it wasn't Rodney made my heart melt.
Title:I Believe
Author: Brumeier
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 1,603
posted date 25 January 2018
description:Rodney folded once under torture, he refuses to do it again. Not when so many lives are at stake.
why this should be read: ANGST! Whump! Brave Little Toaster Rodney! I love this (and not just because it gifted to me).
Title:World of Fire
Author: melagan
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 6,265
posted date 29 January 2018
description:In the face of an extinction level event, John and Rodney find a unique way to save the city of Atlantis.
why this should be read: Because it should have been an episode, it's just that good.
Title:What A Wonderful Bunker You Would Make
Author: McShipIt
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 50,448
posted date 10 February 2018
description:Summary in simple words: Rodney is recluse and John has a kid.
Summary in not so simple words: Rodney McKay has given up on the world, living a simple life up on a mountain devoid of people. He likes it that way, at least he did until a kid with a full head of dark hair ambled up his dirt driveway and changed his sequestered life forever.
(AU - Set during SG1 & Pre-SGA timeline.)
why this should be read: Hermit Rodney meets adorable kid and falls in love with kid's father while they're accidentally locked in a bunker together - - - it's such a fun idea!
Title:Can You Feel My Heart Beating?
Author: nagi_schwarz
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 10,030
posted date 14 February 2018
description:Written for the comment_fic prompt “Any, any/any, rings that let you feel your partners heartbeat from anywhere in the world.” Rodney McKay inherits a partner ring but doesn’t find out who his soulmate is until the day his soulmate’s heartbeat stops.
Set pre-series through 38 Minutes.
why this should be read: Beautifully written soulmate fic
Title:Husk and Howl
Author: MyDoranda
Pairing:: None - GEN
word count: 40,591
posted date 15 February 2018
description:Everyone’s disaster has a backstory.
Rodney’s had involved someone tugging on his arm. “You’re a scientist," she’d said. “Are you not curious about this?”
Well, of course.
Because Rodney had been both of those things.
why this should be read: This is a powerful fic. Heed the tags, it's not for everyone but the way MyDoranda has approached it is so unique and it deserves to be read.
Title:Unexpected Developments
Author: mific
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 14,364
posted date 18 February 2018
description: Detective John Sheppard after Vegas (S5E19). His near-fatal wound's slowly healing and he's got his old job back, but then someone turns up unexpectedly who's a greater mystery than any of the cases on John's desk, and John has to make some hard choices.
why this should be read: This was the first Vegas AU fic I read all the way through and it was good enough that I went hunting for more!
Title:Turn The Tide
Author: Brumeier
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 13,651
posted date 24 February 2018
description: LJ Comment Fic for Pet-Related prompt: any, any, a world where mermaids are kept as pets
The SGC needs to establish communication with merfolk in order to have a successful expedition to Atlantis, and Rodney is the one they put on the job. He thinks the idea is stupid, of course, but as he gets to know the merman he's working with everything changes, and Rodney finds much more than he even knew he was looking for.
why this should be read: Merman!John! 'Nuff said.
Title:Reluctant Angel
Author: melagan
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 10,034
posted date 01 March 2018
description: Angel Rodney has been sent to Earth to protect John. He's never had a human body before. It takes some time getting used to.
why this should be read: Angel!Rodney! 'Nuff said.
Title:Your Face Sketched On It Twice
Author: nagi_schwarz
Pairing:: McShep, Rodney McKay/Evan Lorne
word count: 7,813
posted date 03 March 2018
description: McKay wakes in a field with no memory of how he got there or how to get home. As his memories unfold, he makes his way back, but he's not sure the place he gets to is home.
why this should be read: because it tore my heart apart and I want everyone to feel that too! Not a McShep fic..
Title:No Such Thing As Pon Farr
Author: ami_ven
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 1,992
posted date 12 March 2018
description: “Are you telling me we’ve been exposed to alien sex pollen!?”
why this should be read: SEX POLLEN.
Title:Devil at the Door
Author: Brumeier
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 1,837
posted date 17 March 2018
description: LJ Comment Fic for Poem Lines & Titles prompt: Any, any, Raw With Love by Charles Bukowski
In which Rodney gets taken off the Grandpa Killer case and has to find other ways to re-connect with John.
why this should be read: This is the second part of a series that was started in 2016 featuring serial killer John and FBI Agent Rodney. The whole series (now finished) may be my very favourite fic from 2018.
Part 2 (April - June) can be found here and Part 3 is here and the final part is HERE
As a bonus: see below the cut for the fics I wrote in the first quarter of 2018:
