McShep Comfort fanfic

[thetruegoddess.livejournal.com]

Good Afternoon
I'm looking for McShep comfort fanfiction. The stories you read/re-read when you are having a rather crappy day. Anything goes, the only stipulation is it has to be McShep.
Thanks in advance for any and all recs.

Road Trip fics

[em_kellesvig]

the cigarette girl in the sizzle hot pants: http://minervacat.livejournal.com/909906.html In which there is a road trip, a late-night stop at Waffle House, a tasteless joke about the University of Tennessee, and a blowjob, not necessarily in that order. READ THIS ONE FIRST!!!!!! So, so funny!

844,739 Ways to Eat a Hamburger: http://minervacat.livejournal.com/963692.html In which John drives a minivan, Teyla communes with an iPod, Rodney is forced to pee on bushes, Ronon falls in love, and waffles are consumed by the dozen. READ THIS ONE SECOND!!!!!! It's the sequel to the first. Even funnier!!!


$178.23: http://siegeofangels.livejournal.com/278231.html Scenes from a supermarket.


Earth on a Shoestring (Remix of $173.23): http://community.livejournal.com/gateverse_remix/2463.html


How I Spent My Summer Vacation By Dr. Rodney McKay, PhD, PhD: http://facetofcathy.dreamwidth.org/116924.html After a meeting of the minds in a bar in Colorado Springs, John and Rodney embark on some family visits. Driving, drinking and other fun activities ensue.


The Hard Prayer: http://www.goldenmaze.com/hardprayer.htm One year after the end of the world, John meets another survivor. This one is dark but hopeful. Well worth the read.

Every Day in Every Way (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=8) by velocitygrass, McShep, first time & romance, NC-17; never fails to cheer me up after I stay up way after my bedtime because it's one of those stories that I just can't stop (re)reading.

[jane-connor.livejournal.com]

Catch-19 (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/7221.html) by mmmchelle, marriage of convenience where they both straight. Awesome and hilarious.
Environmental Controls (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=803) by Kalimyre, sweet and happy and perfect, PG.
Prototype (http://wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=12300) by the_cephalopod, NC-17, first time, with slow realization of feelings.
Networked (http://wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=15160&warning=12) by the_cephalopod, NC-17, first time, great plot.

Mirrors (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/571893.html), kind of Aliens Make Them Do It but not exactly. PG-13.
Glass Houses (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=11508) by MistoKitt, where the boys on Earth leave and non-canon John's dad shows up, and they pretend to be boyfriends. Angst and happyness.
Chandri McLeod's Master List (http://www.fantasi.net/fandom.html#SGA) :).

Dulce Domum (http://busaikko.dreamwidth.org/117266.html) by busaikko. John is asexual, so it takes Rodney and Jennifer some time to realize that he's the third, equally important, partner in their marriage.
