Heroics

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

Anyone rec me some John/Rodney stories in which there are daring rescues and last minute heroics, races against time and possible an overabundance of drama? I'm in the mood for heroics.

Nothing with unhappy endings, please. :)

Not a post goes by that I don't think about finding ways to rec Five Impossible Things Rodney McKay Did Before Breakfast (http://laceymcbain.livejournal.com/202087.html) by laceymcbain, McShep, PG-13, because I love it soooo much it's just that good. :-) Rodney in full hero!Rodney mode, yum.

Also, I have fallen in love with sarcasticsmiley's fics; just from the top of my head I could count several fics which would fit here, some AUs, some not. Are you familiar with her stuff? If not, well. It's past my bedtime but if you want, I can sort some out for you tomorrow.

Oh, and there's this half-decent writer called lavvyan who gave a few tries at McShep heroics... ;-P

Ohh, yes, that story is a monthly re-read! It's just too delicious! ♥

You mean sardonicsmiley, right? Yeah, I know her stuff, thanks. :)

lavvyan? Never heard of them. ;p

*facepalm* ...I will never live that down, will I?

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

I promise I won't mention it. You know, as a thank-you for calling me half-decent and all. *grins*

Then I declare that you are a paragon of decency, you are.

...There's one fic which I think would be good for this theme (read: perfect) but I haven't been able to find it for months. The one in which Rodney uses the chair to save Atlantis and in turn gets his brains fried/deleted, so John has to save the day i.e. Rodney from a coma... darn, I know it's one of those "famous" ones. Oh well, storyfinders, here I come!

*sporfles* Yes, well. I think I can safely say I know that one backwards, with my eyes closed. ;D

[debris_k.livejournal.com]

Oh pooey, I should've *known* it would be one of yours (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=6018); why can't writers forget their own stuff temporarily so they'd appreciate the recs for realz? O cruel world, thou art too hard on us reccers... ^.^

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

But it's awesome to know that you would have recced it, that has to count for something! :D

Plus I do re-read my own stuff sometimes. When I'm really bored.

Personal Hero by MrsHamill

Rodney threatens Ronon's balls, yells at Lorne, yells at everyone, Sheppard's bleeding--it's a good story.

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

It really is, thank you!

I suspect you'll have read it, but... Ordinary Life (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/ordinarylife.html) by Shalott and Speranza

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Rodney takes control to save John

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

Heh. I just finished reading Transcendental, that's what made me want to read the heroic stuff in the first place. :)

Thank you for the other one!
