Title:Just Bruises
Author: LogicGunn
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 6,524
posted date 06 July 2019
description:JWhat happened in the three hours Rodney was missing?
why this should be read: I remember having had a really tough day when I got the notification for this and this fic was a 6k whumpy gift from heaven to soothe my soul.

Title:Feels Like Home
Author: Brumeier
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 1,432
posted date 07 July 2019
description:LJ Comment Fic for Movie Lines prompt: Stargate Atlantis, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, "It’s there, I know it is because when I look at you, I can feel it. And I, I look at you and…I’m home." (Finding Nemo)

In which John is injured and Rodney does everything in his power to fix things, even though the best fix is just being there.
why this should be read: It's no secret that I like my hurt Rodney flavoured but this one is the exception. This fic broke me! So, so bittersweet.

Title:The Full Value of a Joy
Author: GillianInOz
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 18,480
posted date 01 August 2019
description:‘Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have someone to divide it with.’
~ Mark Twain

Title:tacet
Author: estora
Pairing:: McShep, Rodney/Rod
word count: 21,967
posted date 14 August 2019
description:You shot me, McKay tries to say, and in another world where Sheppard was holding something clumsy like a P90 in one hand and the bullet only grazed McKay’s side, Sheppard might reply Yes, Rodney, I shot you and I said I was sorry! It might even be kind of funny. You shot me, McKay wants to say, and all he can taste is blood.
why this should be read: estora is another new writer to come play in SGA fandom this year and this is one of my favourite fics of the year. Mute Rodney is a hard loved trope of mine and this is beautiful (and no magic fix it at the end, yay!)

Title:When In Pegasus...
Author: partypaprika
Pairing:: McDex
word count: 10,970
posted date 20 August 2019
description:“Why do they think that we’re married?” Rodney asked.

Ronon shrugged. “Because I told them that we were.” Rodney waited expectantly for more. When none was forthcoming, he gestured impatiently at Ronon who rolled his eyes. “McKay, I think that we have more important things to focus on here. Namely, getting out of here.”

“No, no, no, no,” Rodney said. “This is the most important thing on my plate right now.”
why this should be read: The world needs more Rodney/Ronon fic.

Title:For The Glory of Atlantis
Author:scarletmanuka
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 10,249
posted date 23 August 2019
description:If you know where to listen, there are whispers and rumours of a place, a place deep in Atlantis, where men who like men can meet for anonymous sex, separated only by a wall. John checks it out, expecting a one off, no strings attached encounter, until suddenly, it isn't anymore.
why this should be read: It's a glory hole fic.

Title:Kept By Ourselves In Silence And Apart
Author: The Spike
Pairing:: McDex
word count: 7,263
posted date 27 August 2019
description:Rodney McKay and Ronon Dex, in extremis.
why this should be read: It's Rodney/Ronon and the whump is out of this world.

Title:better without olives
Author: dedkake

word count: 13,674
posted date 02 September 2019
description: John doesn’t let himself imagine coming out anymore, but if he ever did let himself wonder, he never would have thought it would be like this.

Or, John uses pizza as a metaphor to explain his sexual and romantic orientations to Rodney.
why this should be read: Asexual representation, yo.

Title:What to Do When You Don't Know You've Been Shot
Author: NephilimEQ
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 4,122
posted date 22 September 2019
description: The team comes back from a mission and all is well...until Rodney realizes later that he's been shot. Using the one of the five useless brain cells he has, he makes a stupid decision about the whole situation.
why this should be read: I am physically incapable of not reading a hurt Rodney story. And this one is good.

Title:the house is burning (better run for cover)
Author: estora
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 6,140
posted date23 September 2019
description: McKay looks lost, an expression Sheppard has seen on his face only once: John, I’ve never been so scared, I’m slipping away, I’m slipping away and I can’t stop myself.

How do you escape a time loop when you don't even know you're in one?
why this should be read: THIS FIC IS SO GODDAMN GOOD. This, right here, might be the fic of the year for me. It fucked me up beyond words.

Title:And All The Rest
Author: LogicGunn
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 17,955
posted date 23 September 2019
description: “After you, Rodney,” he says.

“If this is some ladies first nonsense, Colonel, you can shove it up your-”

“It’s procedure, Rodney. Don’t make a scene.”
why this should be read: Genderswap is normally a hard nope for me but LogicGunn (who incidentally is another writer who has joined the fandom this year (according to AO3 anyway)) has fast become a writer who I will click on any sort of SGA fic for. I'm glad that I gave this one a go.


Part 4 will follow on 31 December covering months October, November and December


As a bonus: see below the cut for the fics I wrote in the second quarter of 2019:

posted date 05 July 2018
description:When something goes terribly wrong on a mission, the team learns that sometimes thing can't be fixed...but sometimes they can, if someone is willing to run interference.

Pairing:: None
word count: 12,598
posted date 08 July 2018
description:Part of the Science Departament sees Rodney McKay in a completely new light as a trip offworld takes an unexpected turn for the worse.
Set rather early, first season I'd say.
why this should be read: Another Gen gem, this one focussing on Rodney, which is my kryptonite.

Title:I better read between the lines, in case I need it when I'm older
Author:buckybunnyteeth
Pairing:: Rodney/Ronon
word count: 5,051
posted date 22 July 2018
description:Ronon gives Rodney a Cat. Rodney, promptly and logically, falls in love.
why this should be read: Ronon/Rodney is one of those ships that I really wish more people wrote and this fic is super sweet :)

Title:What Could Go Right
Author: Brumeier
Pairing:: Evan Lorne/John Sheppard
word count: 13,483
posted date 04 August 2018
description:John and Evan are a Sentinel-Guide team sent to rescue one of the SGCs top scientists, Rodney McKay. Rodney turns out to be John's soulmate, an arrangement no-one wants but which turns out to be more important than anyone could guess.
why this should be read: I love fics exploring platonic relationships and the idea of platonic soulmates really resonates with my somewhat asexual outlook on life. Plus there's awesome art by [personal profile] mific here

Title:Discreet Arrangements
Author: Brumeier
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 6,911
posted date 16 August 2018
description:It was just supposed to be a way to earn enough money so that John and his daughter didn't have to struggle so much, but John's online arrangement with Rodney turns into so much more.
why this should be read: I love this fic, it's so fun! John signs up to an app for sugar daddies looking for someone to spoil and, lucky us, he gets paired with Rodney. Spoiler: they fall in love.

Title:You & Me & The Pegasus Galaxy
Author: CartWrite
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 29,047
posted date 03 September 2018
description:When John Sheppard finds Rodney McKay's very explicit ads on the Atlantis hook-up board, he feels pretty weird and kind of loses his mind.
why this should be read: An Atlantis hook-up board is such a fantastic idea and I loved the twists and turns this fic took.

Title:On The Same Page
Author: DraconisWing24441
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 34,386
posted date 04 September 2018
description:John's been in love with his best friend for years but he's never done anything about it. First he didn't dare what with DADT, then when that was repealed, Rodney was dating Keller. Now Rodney's getting married to Keller and wants John as his best man. Now John has to deal with the troubles that come with living in Pegasus and helping Rodney with wedding planning while also keeping a lid on his own emotions. As it turns out, he's not too good at that last one.
why this should be read: I actually just stopped making this list and re-read this again, that's how great this fic is. I smiled all the way through it (again) and, seriously, the bit where John finally tells Rodney how he feels....there was so much squealing. Such a feel good fic.

Title:A Wraith's Feast
Author: squidgie
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 802
posted date 13 September 2018
description: Written where Rodney was taken instead of John during the episode "Common Ground" and fed upon.
why this should be read: I'm a sucker for Rodney whump, ok? And having Rodney take John's place in this episode is one of my favourite canon twists ever. There needs to be more fic of it!
