Hello all. I'm looking to compile a list of McShep AUs--not sure whther it'll be a definitive list (in the tradition of painless_j's many Harry Potter lists) or a rec list yet, but I know for certain it'll be of AUs. So.
Send me as many AUs as you can think of--your favorites, rarer AUs, crack AUs, whatever. I've already compiled quite a few but I'd like to get as many as I can, so I'd apreciated the help. Thanks everyone!
ETA: I should have been clearer--I'm really looking for personal recommendations. SGA Crossroads and del.ici.ous and the like are great resources, and I'm already exploring them. The reason I asked on a journal like this was to get more of a sense of particular ones people enjoyed, and any more minor (or newer) fics that haven't been posted on the major lists yet. Sorry for any confusion, and thanks again :)

Then there's that one by (I think) yin_again where John is a model and Rodney is a painter. And gaiaanarchy has one where John never went to Atlantis and meets Rodney in Hawaii (that's amazing). I could probably dig up the names of these stories if you're interested in more.
