Rec List + Gifset
As I've been struggling with writer's block for several months now, I thought I'd create a rec list, and top it off with a gifset :)
♦ Lesser-known Fics I love ♦
☆ Two Body Problem | bomberqueen17 | 162,022 words | A long, slow telling of SGA, mostly from John's POV-- mostly dealing with his relationship to Rodney, but a little with Elizabeth, and his team. This is technically a series, and a work in progress one. However, the first few installments are finished and they end in satisfactory places, so if you want to read up to the unfinished installment, feel free. This fic is amazing, it's one of those fics I want everyone to read so we can gush about it together. The author also has an AU McShep fic that's really good, though that is still a WIP.
☆ Do I Dare Disturb The Universe | vaguelyconcerned | 57484 words | When Faith Lumsbred disobeys the decree of Queen Harmony and goes into the forbidden part of the woods, she expects to discover something cool, or at least something suitably unsettling. Finding instead an ageing astrophysicist and his cat she decides to get to the bottom of the things. How did McKay end up here? Why has the queen gone to such lengths to keep him hidden? And what exactly has he been doing out here all by himself? Do not let the OFC scare you off - I know OC's can be truly terrible, but Faith is a wonderful character I'm very fond of. This fic is very much a McShep fic with hints of femmslash. Your heart will ache for Rodney.
☆ Happy Trails | merrov | 20019 words | “Personally I can’t decide if everyone here is stupid or just plain crazy. You’re riding a sled pulled by crazy huskies almost a thousand miles at subzero temperatures with mediocre shelter and so many trail hazards I can’t even begin to list them.” Dog Sledding AU! Rodney is a veterinarian and John is a dog sledder. There's an instant connection, but Rodney's in Alaska only for the race; after, he's supposed to return home.
☆ Far Ahead The Road Has Gone | Lavvyan | 13823 words | If anybody was to make sure that this man would stay safe and sound, it would have to be John, if only for the reason that everybody else would kill the overconfident son of a bitch within the first five minutes. Lavvyan is an amazing author, and many of her fics are well loved. I didn't even know this fic existed until I stumbled upon it, however.
☆ Given A Choice, It Would Always Be Sunday | Godofwine | 2557 words | At any given moment, Rodney's clock is counting down the minutes to his next cup of coffee.
Married.
