sgarecfindersI'm looking for total AU's that are long, involved and chock full of smut. I'm really only interested in McShep, but other pairings can happen.
I think I've read big famous ones: Iowa, Wooby, The one where they meet in a museum, the one set in the second world war with it's own amazing web site and all the letters. So I'm really looking for personal recs now. What's your favorite Total AU?
Kid fic is more than welcome. Encouraged even! MPreg, no so much...
McSheppy loveliness is a must.
They don't have to be that long, but I do love sequels!
Cheers in advance my darlings!
ETA: moment of panic at having posted this without reading the new rules...gah! Think I am ok though...apologies if not.

Date: 2008-04-16 12:47 am (UTC)Also, this AU by Rageprufrock where Rodney is a professor and John is well... I don't want to spoil you too much ;-) Bell Curve or Ladies Night at the Boom Boom Room - http://www.glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/bellcurve/bellcurve.php
And Hindsight - John's an FBI agent and Rodney is pretty much Rodney - http://www.glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/hindsight.php
Also have you read Junk Cheap where John owns a junk shop? http://devildoll.livejournal.com/751627.html
These are all pretty well known so you've probably already read them, but McShep AUs are about my favorite thing in the world so I'll probably be back with more ;-)
