sgarecfinders | really interesting het recs, please? (Reply)

Kind readers, to vary my fic-reading a little more (and in part inspired by the recent search for fic featuring strong portrayals of the women of Atlantis), I'm looking for recs for really interesting, well written het SGA stories. Or writers with a bunch of those.

What I'd like are things similar to some of the stories by (off the top of my head)

synecdochic or

samdonne or

helenish or

shaenie or

fiercelydreamed or

pir8fancier or

rinsbane or

hth_the_first -- so, layered and intricate and emotionally complex and ultimately satisfying (and/or happy ending that's not supersupersaccharine), but (more) het.

Not-traditionally-happy-togetherness but somehow satisfying endings (such as in McShep, Freedom'sJAWFNLTL), even sad ones, are welcome. Slash background or secondary pairings are fine, but a main focus on het ship(s), please. Het-inclusive (with a strong focus on the female character(s)) threesomes welcome too. As are AUs.

If you're reccing a frequent-het writer, an indication of what length stories and primary pairings (or "various") they typically write would be great. For story recs, I'm ideally looking for mid-length stories of say ~10 or 15,000 to 50,000 words -- though pointers to outstanding shorter or longer ones welcome too! -- and maybe a warning if it's a WIP. Many many thanks!!

Edited/reorganized to (I hope) clarify a little more.
