Requests: screwed-up Rodney; left-behind John; x-men fusion

[satora-chan.livejournal.com]

Hi! Currently on a month-long SGA fic binge (I sorta just discovered the fandom! Many of my school break hours have disappeared to the mass of awesome that is SGA ficcage.)

Looking for any of the following:

(1) Messed-up Rodney. That is, any fics where Rodney is screwed-up - and not in the "he has no social skills" sense (though that could be a consequence). I mean more along the lines of where there's something messed up about him. For example: physically/emotionally/sexually/mentally abused as a child/teenager/adult (looking for this one especially), some sort of mental condition like schizophrenia/severe paranoia/insanity, severe drug use, etc. etc. This screwed-up-ness can occur before or during the fic. AUs are also welcome.

(2) Survivor!John. I've read a lot of fics where Rodney has to continue to survive after John dies. However, I'd like to find some fics where it's John who is the survivor in the relationship. Any suggestions?

(3) X-men/SGA crossover or fusion.

Preferably any recommendations are McKay/Sheppard.

Thank you for your help!

For messed-up Rodney, see korilian's Deranged McKay Master List (http://korilian.livejournal.com/43351.html"), in several parts. Lots of those will be what you're looking for.

The most achingly painful survivor!John fic I know of is The House of Three Skylarks (http://mirabile-dictu.slashcity.net/SGA/ThreeSkylarks.html) by mirabile_dictu.

Just curious, eccentricweft. Is there an ordinarywarp that balances you?

The most recent search for Xmen/SGA is here (http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/305552.html) and it has links that would interest you, I think.

AWESOME

Thank you!

Thank you! This is one of my favorites!

For #1, one of my absolute faves, by one of my favorite authors: Rebuilding Babel (http://fiercelydreamed.talkoncorners.net/main/archives/stargate-atlantis/rebuilding-babel/) by fiercelydreamed.

For #2, Sennacherib (http://witchofthedogs.livejournal.com/636851.html) by witchofthedogs fits.

Also Two Years after Tomorrow (http://community.livejournal.com/mcsheplets/101350.html) by lavvyan.

Rebuilding Babel! I love love LOVE that one. Thank you for the recs! Do you have any other suggestions for #1?

For # 2, if you're okay with gen, I'd highly rec Kriadydragon's Eternity: http://kriadydragon.livejournal.com/63484.html

Masterfully written. The fic still haunts me. (But in a good way. ;0)

[satora-chan.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm currently through the first part, and it seems v. interesting so far.

asdf;lkj ow ow ow. In hindsight, asking for #2 was kind of idiotic of me. I didn't realize how utterly heart-wrenching it was going to be. Thank you for the rec.

1. Have you read any of sardonicsmiley's works? Her Sophomore Slump verse, and mostly all of her one shots have Rodney screwed up. (The best kind of screwed up too.) If you like aus, definitely read her Colonel and Colonel in "Take a long way home" verse.

Also, there is Thorn Apples (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/462945.html). It was all in the report, every last bit of it, one written as a whole and another summarized in short, viciously bitten off language that made Rodney's teeth clench. (Thorn tattoo and Rodney still adjusting while Shep helps). and its sequel Milkweed by Kat Reitz & tzigane (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/464741.html#cutid1). He had John's mark, now. He never really had to let go. (John leaves his mark on McKay while on earth. Sequel)

Civilian (http://crimsonclad.livejournal.com/81708.html). "Hey," Rodney said, softly. "Shut the fuck up." (When Lorne tries to play a trick on McKay, Shep learns something he never suspected. Dark)

Sandstorms (http://mithreon.livejournal.com/9418.html). Somewhat scary Post-Trinity fic in which Rodney and the Team drift apart before catastrophe brings them together again. The one with Rodney-the-apprentice-healer, the desert, and the *bugs*.

All I Have are Secrets by Cassie Jamie (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=3298). McKay has non-con relations with a planet for more food in order to win back John's trust. It goes on for a few years until Stackhouse blows the whistle.

For number 1, Breaking Walls by Technoscribe

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2897353/1/Breaking_Walls

Summary: Circumstances, and Rodney’s friends, won’t allow him to keep his past a secret anymore. A veritable McKay Whumpathon!

For #2- a very sad story Speaker for the Dead (http://www.hawksong.com/~thammill/SGA_Fic/speaker.htm) by MrsHamill. It's a companion story to Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose (http://www.kekkai.org/synecdochic/sga/freedoms_just_another_word.html) which if you're now looking for 'survivor John', you've probably already read.
