Rec Request: Please DO feed the fan girl!

[gategurl.livejournal.com]

Hello Everyone,

I just got directed to this community and am basically in my happy place with all the fic I have already found on here in les then 10 minutes flat. Most of it I have not yet read! So, thus with the metaphorical happy dances.

However I do have a request for you AMAZING people:
Essentially I am looking for a few (or a million) story rec's that have been written basically detailing how Rodney or John (or both) realizes or finally comes to terms with the fact that they actually love each other, all while Rodney is still dating Keller  (Sorry Keller fans) or even Katie (again with the me not being picky part) and the fic basically ends with John and Rodney getting together. Or something around that variety.

*Basically tell me your favourites so I can bask in all the McShep goodness of it all. I will take anything. Smut, plot, or crack, pwp, and more.

I am not picky!

Thanks guys, for any recs you can think of!

If you check out the 'classics/favorites' tag, that should get you a lot of fan favorites.

[gategurl.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I will totally go do that!

My personal go-to angsty fluffiness is Eventual Thaw by Zinnith: http://zinfic.livejournal.com/21503.html

I'm sort of assuming that you're pretty new to the fandom here, but should you not have read it (a tragedy!) and you're ok with AUs (SGA seems to breed them for some reason), Cate's Iowa series might fit: http://sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com/105567.html

Also, go to delicious, use the tag option and search SGA + pining!(character of choice) and you will get many many more fics than you can ever read ever.

There is so much AWESOME in this I don't even know where to begin! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!

[angellec.livejournal.com]

I don't know how exactly this one fits but "A New Explanation" by Bluespirit on wraithbait has Rodney figuring it out immeadiately after Keller dumps him. It is very sweet from John's POV.

[gategurl.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I will check it out!

Please to edit your post to take out the "Ew" part, or I'll have to take this post down. Looking for character bashing is fine, posts that include character bashing are not.

My bad! Sorry! I fixed it so it was less bashy!

I meant to comment that the 4 stories above all pretty much start as Keller/McKay but end up being McShep.

A series of one-shots...

[shibela.livejournal.com]

...that start off as Keller/McKay and move onwards to McShep.

It all started with "Honor Guard" by ms_jvh_shuh, and it snowballed to a remix done by danceswithgary. So, I'm just going to post the stories up in the order they should be read instead of the order they were posted.

1. "A Part Time Thing, A Paper Ring (http://ms-jvh-shuh.livejournal.com/8951.html)" by ms_jvh_shuh
2. "Next of Kin (What I Won't Do For Love Remix) (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=15241)" by danceswithgary
3. "Honor Guard (http://ms-jvh-shuh.livejournal.com/7354.html)" by ms_jvh_shuh
4. "Achy older men (http://community.livejournal.com/mcsmooch/137648.html)" by ms_jvh_shuh

Re: A series of one-shots...

[gategurl.livejournal.com]

I adore you!
And now, I have ALOT of fic to go read. LOVE IT!

Found another...

[shibela.livejournal.com]

I just stumbled on this one:

"A Heart Needs A Home" (http://shrift.dreamwidth.org/194444.html) by shrift

It starts off Keller/McKay, and wends its way towards McShep - kind of sweet & schmoopy in a really tender & delicate way. It's full of awesome with some humor on top.

Found another...

[shibela.livejournal.com]

... that I think you will just love. There is not extensive character bashing of Keller, but there are a few digs. Anyhow, this starts out as Keller/McKay with a side of Pining!John, where he decides to quit with the pining & move on. There are epiphanies.... :D
