Penguin fic

[alainia.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about another fic that I've forgotten what is now. It was a John/Cam (as humans) where is was mentioned that the only gift John had ever given Cam was a rock, and John explained it as penguins give each other rocks. I'm not looking for this fic, it just made me think, one, where did the penguin thing come from because I've seen it in passing around in reference to John, and two, are there any fics around that have John and anything to do with penguins as a feature in them? I'm not picky about pairing (or not having a pairing), although I do prefer slash, and hate death fics.

Thanks.

John's sense of abandonment- Irresistible

[calaiskenobi.livejournal.com]

Are there any stories that deal specifically with John's feelings of abandonment during Irresistible? I know there are several (great!) stories about AU endings to Irresistible where Lucius and/or the Atlantis team sent Sheppard to another planet or the mainland, or where he was hurt in some way but I'm looking for a bit more of a specific type. It's okay if it is AU as long as John's feelings are a main focus.

Irreplacable by Kashkow is right along the line of what I want (http://stargate-atlantis.org/fanfics/viewstory.php?sid=2431)

ETA: http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/672493.html This search is similar to what I am looking for- but I am really looking for abandonment and John's feelings, not on the SGA crews' feelings about what they did or didn't do. Thanks!

Jealous John - Rodney with someone else

[lillyjk.livejournal.com]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a specific type of fic. Namely, something where John has been or wants to be with Rodney, but for some reason never makes a move and/or they break-up and Rodney is with someone else. I would love it if John has treated Rodney badly and has taken him for granted. Bonus points if that new person with Rodney is Ronon, Cameron or Lorne. I don't mind if the fic ultimately ends up to be McShep, but I'm really looking for some John soul-searching, angsty/jealousy. Thanks!

Conflict

[no-affiliation.livejournal.com]

Hi guys!

I'm looking for stories in which members of the team are on opposing sides of a conflict - eg. wars, rival sporting teams, competing companies, predator/s and prey (animal AUs rock), Expedition versus SGC, folders vs scrunchers ...

Slash and femme!slash are awesome. McShep FTW,  although I'll go for most pairings (but please no John/Teyla. Teyla's awesome, but I just can't see them as anything but friends).

I don't squick at anything, but I"m not a big fan of suprise!(BDSM/non-con/graphic violence), so please provide warnings.

Thanks in anticipation!

(Also I wanna say thanks to the people who post recs to this community - I've read some really excellent stuff I wouldn't have found on my own)
