Action/Adventure

[emptybackpack.livejournal.com]

Hi all! A good friend of mine is trying to get into reading SGA fic and has asked me for help finding things he'd like. He's greatly enjoyed stories like Retrograde by Martha Wilson and Aegis by Springwoof and Leah. He really enjoys action/adventure stories that have a strong plot driving them and a lot of ass-kicking, so to speak (think Paradigm of Uncertainty, if you're from older HP fandom), particularly on the parts of Teyla and Ronon. I would love love love to hear it if you know of any such action-packed stories you could pass along to me. I'd prefer it if they were gen, but slash and het (and OT4, etc.) are okay if that's not the only thing the story is about.

Thank you very much!

How does your friend feel about AUs?

The Pirate's Prisoner (http://rhymer23.livejournal.com/35046.html) is an adventure-filled gen story where Captain John Sheppard and his crew take brilliant scientist Rodney McKay hostage.

In Raiders of the Seven Systems (http://www.ltljverse.com/watergate/stories/raiders.htm) John, Ronon and Teyla are space pirates (gen).

-wince- Unfortunately I ruined the first one for him a couple months ago by shouting at him a lot about diving bells while I was reading it. The second, however, he will probably love -- he thinks Martha Wilson's brilliant. Thank you so much!

Oh, awesome! Brendan especially loves nods to SG-1, which I see many of those have, so that is even more fantastic. Thank you very very much! -huge hugs-

Running on Empty by friendshipper http://friendshipper.laylalawlor.com/running.shtml - long gen McKay-Sheppard friendship

I've read tons more, but I'm terrible about keeping/finding links

Oh, thank you so much for the link directly to only gen things from this year's Big Bang! I never would have found that on my own. The site, ah, shall we say, does not display well on my computer, and so I haven't really been able to take a look at most of this year's fics yet.

And Running on Empty is absolutely wonderful, thank you. ♥
