McShep search

[sara-wolf.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for two different kinds of fics:

1) McShep fics where they're dealing with large groups of kids. Summer camps, school, teaching the Athosians, anything. Canon and AU both welcome.

2) The other search is fics where Rodney is dead or presumed dead, and we get to see John grieving. I'm not so much interested in the actual death (or psuedo-death), but in seeing John's reaction to losing Rodney.

Thanks so much.

Another one for 2, a hub for the wheel'd universe (http://community.livejournal.com/mcsmooch/114370.html) by bussaiko and the sequel by telesilla, I'll Keep Your Heart with Mine (http://telesilla.livejournal.com/704200.html) (which is an AU from busaikko's sequels (http://busaikko.slashcity.org/?page_id=225)).

For #1 (Mostly gen!Fic, but still worth the reading for the McShep friendship interaction):

"An Athosian Christmas Tale" (http://starrylizard.dreamwidth.org/132204.html) by starrylizard

"Kindergarten Rodney" (http://honey-babes.livejournal.com/161555.html) by honey_babes (No-Atlantis AU, McShep pairing)

"Five Times Rodney McKay Babysat the Athosians" (http://cat-77.livejournal.com/214195.html) by cat_77

"Storyteller" (http://tigs.livejournal.com/467939.html) by tigs

---------------

For #2:

"I Got Soul But I'm Not A Soldier" (http://minervacat.livejournal.com/951835.html) by minervacat (McShep pairing)

"Residual Heat" (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/317176.html) & its sequel, "Heat Source" (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/317398.html), by bluenight361 (McShep pairing)

Not sure this quite fits, but Rodney does die before Sheppard, & this is definitely not a story to be missed, so... "Sennacherib" (http://witchofthedogs.livejournal.com/636851.html) by witchofthedogs (No pairing)

"Speaker for the Dead" (http://www.hawksong.com/~thammill/SGA_Fic/speaker.htm) & its sequel (although, the sequel is mainly from Zelenka's POV & are his thoughts/feelings/perceptions, he gives an outsider view of John's grieving for Rodney), "Jeden Dobrý Člověk [One Good Man]" (http://www.hawksong.com/~thammill/SGA_Fic/good_man.htm) by mrshamill (McShep & other pairings)

And while this one doesn't really have Rodney die, #5 of this story has John bracing himself for his death in "Behold, Thy Time Was the Time of Love" (http://riverlight.livejournal.com/37385.html) by riverlight. (McShep pairing)

"Long Distance Call" (http://fawkesielady-ed.livejournal.com/44143.html) by fawksielady_ed (No-Atlantis AU, McShep pairing)

Again, not quite Rodney's death... or rather in the style of just "mostly dead" in lavvyan's "In the Giving" (http://lavvyan.livejournal.com/354663.html). (McShep pairing)

"An Ever-Fixed Mark" (http://www.thestade.com/khk15.html) by K Hanna Korossy (No pairing)

One more for #2...

[shibela.livejournal.com]

I just stumbled on this one -- "The City in the Sea" (http://kodiak-bear.livejournal.com/41725.html) by kodiak_bear -- and, while this is gen!fic, it's definitely not-to-be-missed.

Very late for this comment, but wanted to say THANK YOU for mentioning this fic. I read it, was floored, wept for two days, then felt strong enough to leave a "War and Peace" size comment. This fic has become an absolute favorite and I've got you to thank. *huggles*!!!

You're welcome. It's on my short-list of stories I read when I'm in severe need of a good cry because not only does it rip my heart out, but it puts it back together in such a way that I've worked through the emotions from the story as well as the reason that brought me to reading such a cathartic story in the first place, so in the end I'm at peace & my mind is quiet. *hugs back*

2) Hearing is Believing by vanwaelda (http://wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=5786), John thinks Rodney's dead, John/Rodney.
Machina ex Deo by custardpringle (http://wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=1070), John/Rodney, R.

[jane-connor.livejournal.com]

Plus Lessons by girlgonemadd (http://wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=2516) has the 'John's grieving for Rodney when he thinks Rodney's dead' part.

[jane-connor.livejournal.com]

And I've remembered another great one to your #2. Practically classic Home in the Heart (http://community.livejournal.com/mckay_sheppard/2442530.html), which is sequel to The Great Doctor McKay (http://me-ya-ri.livejournal.com/194106.html#cutid1).

Two of my favorites for number two are on wraithbait #1 is Bending With The Tide by Fia Reynne and Find Your Way Home by Rina and Orithain.
