sgarecfinders | Long McShep w/o Whump (Reply)

I've got a craving for long McShep stories, novel-length or a series of shorter stories that add up to a long one. But one thing I'm not interested in is whumpage. I really don't like stories about the characters getting beat up on and having to go through a long convalescense. I can't read pages and pages about torture, character being incapacitated because of drugs or injury, or a lengthy hospital stay. Tons of angst, mental trauma, and self-pity are also a big turn-off.

Some minor injuries or something that is mentioned in passing is fine. Everything doesn't have to be completely happy-go-lucky. Basically I'm looking for nothing worse than the level of team injuries as you'd see in canon--stuff that sucks at the time but can be expected to heal up and be okay by the next episode.

I'd also be interested in gen-fic as long as it has Sheppard & McKay as close friends, but McShep is preferred.
