So I need so really awesome feel good fics.  Preferably McShep, Sheppard/Mitchell or Lorne/Sheppard but pretty much anything will work.  I'm have a crap week and really need some comfort.

Something along the lines of "Beautiful Life Time Event", "Farm in Iowa" or "Not so modest proposal" stuff like that.

I really appreciate your recs in advance.

Thought I'd pass along some of my favorites. Most of these, at the least, made me laugh, which always perks me up. There are one or two that I threw in just because they caught my eye and I thought damn that's a good one, and a good story always makes me happy.

[almostnever.livejournal.com]

Feel-good fics from the current session of mcshep_match:
"The Office" (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/96675.html) melds observations on day to day life in Atlantis with a fun PWP.
"First Impressions" (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/96191.html) follows the team through a few establishing-trust rituals. Lighthearted with an amusing John voice.
"But I Ain't Got Wings" (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/106277.html), John tries to persuade Rodney to build him an Ancient flying device.
"Mamihlapinatapai" (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/98516.html), During a beautiful off-world boating tradition, John's not sure if he and Rodney had a one-time thing, or if they're starting something.
"Out of the Frying Pan" (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/105001.html), AU, Rodney's unhappily teaching and hangs out at a diner where John's a mediocre cook, until they start dating and working together.
"Running Tally" (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/100877.html), Rodney and Jennifer break up and Rodney's puzzled that John seems cheerful.
"Circle Yes or No" (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/93858.html), John and Rodney pretend to be in a relationship on a visit to John's family.
"Sheppard's Pie" (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/92717.html), A series of scenes involving pie from throughout all the years of the expedition. (Also Jennifer/Rodney.)
"A Question of Quantum Physics, Molecular Attraction and Timing" (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/99223.html) AU, John and Rodney fall quickly into a relationship, and Rodney guesses at what John does for a living.
"The Bestiary" (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/104259.html), Rodney finds an Ancient device that lets him transform into various animals. (Note the warning on this one.)
"Cloud Nine" (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/104061.html), AU, anchorman John flirts with weather forecaster Rodney.
"Tied to the Rocket" (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/93135.html), John and Rodney met and had a fling years before Atlantis; some mild angst but overall an upbeat story.
"Not Without a Plan" (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/104577.html), AU, John inherits his father's estate and hires Rodney to design a hedge maze for the property.

And a few more.

Some McSheps

[snowglow1275.livejournal.com]

There's a ton of wonderful fic I'd love to rec but based on the ones you mentioned I think these are the best along those lines.

The Checkmate 'Verse: Wherein John is turned into a cat and learns to need others. Chock full of fluff and humor and love. Rated G to light R. http://beadattitude.livejournal.com/267757.html

Animalia Sequence: THE funniest thing I've ever read. And quite sweet, too. Animal transformations and some side Jack/Daniel. Rated R. http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=684&textsize=0&chapter=1

Summer House 'Verse: John and Rodney buy a vacation house in Eureka. Told mostly from Jack's POV on their changing relationship. Very sweet, funny, and completely lovely. Rated PG-13ish. http://glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/summerhouse.php, http://glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/shoreleave.php, http://glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/sabbatical.php

The Atlantis Local Stitch'N'Bitch Chapter: Strange things involving yarn and Rodney is going to get to the bottom of it. Rated R. http://www.glitterati.talkoncorners.net/fiction/435.php

Those Words 'Verse: Pianist Rodney McKay returns home after a nervous break down but instead of peace and quiet, finds Detective John Sheppar. Rated NC-17. http://www.wraithbait.com/viewseries.php?seriesid=145

The Twenty Year Thaw: Rodney's moved on from the Olympics and everything they meant to him but his cozy world threatens to come crashing down on him when the ski resort hires John Sheppard. Rated NC-17. http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/692866.html

The 'Oh' Thing: Living together changes Everything. Rated PG. http://community.livejournal.com/casa_mcshep/19154.html

The Neighborly Detective and the Tragic Woobie Widower 'Verse: John is a new detective and moves in next door to Rodney and his son, Timothy. Rated NC-17. http://www.wraithbait.com/viewseries.php?seriesid=121

Small Primes and Square Roots: Harlequin-esque where John is the biological father to Rodney's niece-turned daughter. Rated R. http://liviapenn.livejournal.com/367325.html

[justhuman.livejournal.com]

For Sheppard/Mitchell fics there's sg_flyboys.

If you don't mind the self-rec, I did a feel good one for that pairing - Home on the Range (http://justhuman.livejournal.com/492811.html) - John and Cam decide that there are some things more important than saving the planet, and they invite their friends to check it out. Near-future fic, post-series and movies. Prompts used: best friends/created family with a touch of post-Air Force

[gaffsie.livejournal.com]

No Good Deed (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=87) (Sheppard/Mitchell).

What Happens Next (http://bluflamingo.livejournal.com/79225.html) (Sheppard/Mitchell).
