new-ish McShep faves

[thetruegoddess.livejournal.com]

We all have our old McShep faves but I'm looking for the newer stories that you really enjoyed and have added to your list of favourites. Let's say the top 2 or 3 stories written within the last year that really impressed you. The ones you feel are the new classics. The only stipulation is that the main pairing is McShep other than that anything goes.

Anything by Keira Marcos would fit your request.

I agreed, our queen is a genius with the mcshep.

I def second the Black Helicopters series. One of my absolute favorite characterizations of Sheppard.

And completely awesome Rodney, and great unfolding of relationship.

Besides some of the ones listed above, a few more likely "McShep classic" contenders -- some more for the romance, some more for the plottiness:
The Ones You Leave Behind (http://www.refugeeblues.com/mcshepmatch/2009/war/fic13w_sab.html) by taste_is_sweet (Rodney can't keep losing John, also robots)
Adrift (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=92) by cypher (AU take from S4's Tabula Rasa, Rodney in charge, messed up John, Repliteam!)
Tongues of Men and Angels (http://10leaguesbeyond.livejournal.com/16923.html) by mad_maudlin (Tok'ra!Rodney)
Thousandmother (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=91) by Springwoof (team gets stranded and separated on a planet with non-humanoid aliens and a**hole descendants of Ancients)
Stars Against the Sun (http://www.refugeeblues.com/mcshepmatch/2009/war/fic6w_sitc.html) by almostnever (post-S5, John discovers his relationship with Rodney is different from what he thought it was)
Dulce Domum (http://archiveofourown.org/works/67033) by busaikko (not just McShep, but likely to become a classic for the various characterizations)
