Would love some happy.

[lizzypaul.livejournal.com]

I am having an incredibly bad day, and I would love some fic to cheer me up!

Here is what I love: Long fics that I can lose myself in. Established relationships. Slash (especially McShep). Team fics. Really romantic fics, but where the characters are still recognizable, and still guys.

What I don't dig: AUs. Angst (remember, I'm having a bad day...a little angst is okay, but I need a happy ending). OOC fics.

If you have some good recs featuring any or all of the above, you would make me a very happy person. Thank you!

Sorry you've had a miserable day! Here's some fics to help cheer you:


We Cannot Live Within (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/523751.html), by trakkie, in which McKay appears to everyone as what most attracts them. Sweet, funny, tagged 'bestofthebest' on my delicious. ;)

Then there is Day Break (http://giddygeek.livejournal.com/89672.html), which is like Groundhog Day for SGA - very sweet, very funny!

Might I also recommend all of friendshipper (http://friendshipper.laylalawlor.com/index.html)'s fics? Especially 'Running on Empty' and 'the Long Road Home'. Both are longer fics with lots tension, but ultimately resolve in satisfying and feel-good ways. 'The Long Road Home' IS an AU, but it is a genuinely incredible one.

Semivowel's Transference (http://semivowel.livejournal.com/1888.html) is probably very close to what you're looking for: adorable, funny, romantic McShep. Probably one of my favorite stories in the whole fandom.

Then again, you could just go here (http://del.icio.us/Kirinin/humor) and look at my delicious account's humour tags... that's probably your best bet, because you can decide what you want to look at rather than me doing my best to guess what you'd prefer. ;)

Thank you so much! Exactly what I was looking for. "We Cannot Live Within" was awesome, and I loved "Transference", too, both fics I haven't seen before! Yay!

I made a similar request last month and got some GREAT responses (not being all snarky, just thought you'd love a pre-made list of awesome comforting long loving fics)!

Check it out, here (http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/162744.html).

Thank you! Awesome recs!

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but it always puts a smile on my face.

Aw, cute! Thanks!

There was a vaguely similar request here http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/178948.html
about a month ago-- different from darsynia's but it likewise turned up some wonderful fics.

I also recommend:

• the Checkmate 'verse by Beadattitude: http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/178948.html
(Involves kitty!John, which, I know, sounds insane. But trust me when I say FANTASTIC)

• Weddings, Plural, and a Yak by Cesperanza: http://cesperanza.livejournal.com/193928.html
(Any summary of mine will fail to do this justice. Just give it two minutes and if you aren't hooked I'll. . . I'll. . . well, I'll just be flabbergasted.)

Enjoy! :)

I didn't have a chance to look at the other recs, so if I repeat, sorry! These are some of my favourite humourous McShep, though I'm afraid none of them are really established relatinships ;_;
