Virtual Reality McShep

[reddwarfer.livejournal.com]

I looked, but didn't see this requested. (I could be blind.)

I'd like any McShep fics that have virtual reality or something like it as a part of the story. Or even altered reality perception.


---One or both of them are in VR and don't know it.
---One or both of them are in VR and are aware of it.
---Something similar to VR but not VR.
---Something that affects how either of them perceive reality.

just a few:
Time in a Bottle (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/time_in_a_bottle.html) by astolat (they're both in, they both know)

A Rational Universe (http://www.xmagicalx.net/scgi-bin/sga/A_Rational_Universe.html) by xparrot: Rodney has been drugged into hallucinating.

Already Seen (http://in-wintertime.livejournal.com/6407.html) appears to be gen rather than McShep, but it does have strong Rodney/John interaction. Rodney's experiences during and after the Replicator incursion ... sort of.

I know at least one other McShep one, but I can't find it at the moment. I'll dig if no one else suggests it.

I wrote these, they're typical for me I guess (how happy the end is depends on how you roll):

The Hanged Man: it's a game! no, wait!
By Whirlwind Scattered: Rodney thinks it's a VR (I guess that counts as altered reality perception?)....
Montsalvat: Shuffling off This Mortal Coil....

Here are my virtual reality (http://delicious.com/Kirinin/virtualreality+sga) fics on my delicious. There are 18 of them, so I'm pretty certain there will be a few that aren't up here! Although... wow, people certainly delivered on this one, so maybe not! ;)

Thanks~ I think we roll in the same way regarding happy endings. lol. People are always yelling at me for mine.
