body swapping

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

It's a common enough SF trope and I was wondering if anyone knew of any SGA fics in which people end up in one another's bodies. Gen slash or het, I'm good with all of it.

Since I'm a McShep person, these are all John/Rodney

Sorry, I hope you find some fics.

There's also a fic at sga_bigbang that I've yet to read, but from the covers/excerpts/summaries I gather that it has Rodney's body turning into John's (body, that is), due to something ATA gene related... Um, I think. Anyways, the reviews I saw were all good, so it should be safe to read. ;-)

There's also a fairly new one, which's totally awesome as well, and should definitely be read:

There's no new stories that haven't been recced here at Crossroads, but you could try ultimateficarchiver's [SGA+bodyswap] del.icio.us list (http://del.icio.us/ultimateficarchiver/bodyswap+sga). Which actually reminded me of another one I forgot to mention:

The Old Switcheroo (http://scribblinlenore.livejournal.com/361798.html) by scribblinlenore, McShep, NC-17, hilarity!

Why This Must Be Read: While the title does give me an earworm from 'Rent', it's also wordplay taken from the saying: 'you can't really know someone until you walk a mile in their shoes.' The story is full of that type of playfulness, and it zips along, from the opening scene through the moment of realization that John and Rodney have accidentally swapped bodies, right up through the story's resolution. It's clever and fun, and well worth the read.
