Here We Go A-Tree-Hunting...

[shibela.livejournal.com]

 
In my search for a certain story, mostly thanks to the fabulous people in the sgastoryfinders  Comm, I have come across some great Christmas Tree hunting stories -- or at least that involve Trees around Christmas.  :D  So...  I'm looking for more!

Pairings or no pairings - they're all welcome here.  Please label pairings where applicable.  My thanks in advance, as I may be a bit sporadic in replies for the next few days.


A few stories that I've come across similar to what I'm looking for:

"The Second Great Tree of Atlantis" by chokolaj (No Pairings)

"Sabbatical" by rageprufrock   (McShep Pairing -- also part of an SGA/Eureka crossover series)

"The Geeks and Goons Guide to the Holidays" by likethekoschka  (McShep Pairing)

"Snakes for Christmas" by nottasha  (No Pairings)

Holy Moly!! Thank you!! I'll be happily reading these for awhile. :D

A Christmas tree is just one of the things that makes the Atlantis gateroom festively special in All I Want for Christmas Is You (http://siegeofangels.livejournal.com/248892.html) by siegeofangels (gen, short, humor)

Hee!! Loved this one - thank you!! :D

The team briefly goes out to acquire a tree in A Non-Denominational Mission Report (http://smittywing.livejournal.com/223385.html), which also includes mention of a "crappy" tree that John had in his room the previous year. McShep. Warning: It's a pretty literal "A Christmas Carol"/Scrooge interpretation crossed with post-Trinity, so it abounds with people hectoring Rodney to get into the Christmas spirit.

Thank you! I enjoyed re-visiting this one - totally forgot about the blinking walls. :D

And another thing I didn't know: It has a remix done of it!

"Mortal I Have Ever Touch'd (The Non-Denominational Holiday Mission Report Remix)" (http://archiveofourown.org/works/118086) by sheafrotherdon (McShep Pairing -- A short blurb of tree 'hunting' being done by John when he was 10 - lovely remix!)

The Holiday Season (http://out-there.livejournal.com/794718.html?format=light) by out_there. PG, John/Rodney, Christmas-on-Atlantis fic. John's being a dumbass in love, and Rodney's being utterly Rodney :).

[shibela.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Loved John's surety that it's all Rodney's fault - one way or the other. :D

I wrote one awhile back that has some scenes where they go to the mainland (on their original planet) to bring back evergreen-like foliage for decorating. Of course, being them, things don't go right: Christmas in the Holly-Free Zone.

Ha! Loved this! Thank you muchly! It was just the thing I needed after struggling with putting the Christmas lights on our tree. *wonders if perhaps our tree's 'Ancestors' were from the Pegasus Galaxy* :D

For those who are able to read German or don't mind the inevitable mistakes that an online translation program brings, you should definitely give "Unternehmen: Tannenbaum" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6513553/1/Unternehmen_Tannenbaum) by hyndara71 a try. No pairings, and I think the title roughly translates to "Operation: Christmas Tree" or maybe it should be 'Mission' instead of 'Operation' - I'm not sure -- either way, this was pretty funny.

**It needs to be said that my German is limited to a very short list of words & phrases so I can't attest to how well written this is in German.**

There's a short blurb on the attained Christmas tree sprouting legs & leaving for parts Mainland in rageprufrock's "Rodney McKay's Diary" (http://archiveofourown.org/works/44925). McShep Pairing, as well as Rodney's hooking up with a couple others before Sheppard -- you probably won't want to be drinking or eating while reading this one as it could develop into a choking (among others) hazard.
