Two requests for you, oh wonderful genrefinders.

[scarlet-gryphon.livejournal.com]

1) Please tell me that there's an AU out there where the team and/or the general ensemble cast are part of a Mythbusters-type show. Or a science-y show in general.

2) Also, what are some of your favorite stories that feature the "B-team" of Atlantis? I've read most, if not all, of miss_porcupine's stuff, and have loved all of it. Bonus points if it has Peter Grodin in it. Much hugs and an internet will be awarded if it has Kavanagh in it in a non-character bashing role.

I'd prefer stuff that isn't overly graphic for the second request; I'm fine with slash and het, but would prefer gen if at all possible.

For #1, see #4 on this list: Dr. Rodney's Science Corner (http://runpunkrun.livejournal.com/252608.html) by runpunkrun, originally conceived here (http://runpunkrun.livejournal.com/206453.html?thread=2729077#t2729077) with sloganeer. It was sequelized sexily by crysothemis in Catalysis for Dummies (http://crysothemis.dreamwidth.org/89566.html).

The closest I can think of the #1 is:
Dr. Rodney's Science Corner by runpunkrun: Rodney didn't get two PhDs so that he could host a kids' science show on a criminally underfunded public television station, but it had its moments.
with sequels:
Catalysis for Dummies (Which Dr. Rodney Most Certainly Is Not) by crysothemis: Science show host Rodney deals with his assistant John - who suddenly started wearing rubber boots.
Steady State (Finding Your Equilibrium Remix) by thedeadparrot: Things that can be found in the apartment of M. Rodney McKay Ph.D. Ph.D. (best known as the host of the educational kids' program. Dr. Rodney's Science Corner).

Not quite a fic, but this discussion may be relevant to your interests:
John and Rodney as the Mythbusters

for 2: Run, do not walk to read skinscript's 2009 Big Bang story, Whipping Boy (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=74). It is gen and plotty and very good. (~45,800 words)

And not "the" B-team, but three short (gen) stories that feature background/invisible characters in a cool way: Sixty-Eight Whiskey (http://2ndary-author.livejournal.com/42693.html) and Four People Who Got the Job (and One Who Didn’t) (http://2ndary-author.livejournal.com/43363.html) by 2ndary_author, and Five People Who the Press Won't Care About (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/776439.html) by shaenie and fiercelydreamed.

Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/824414.html) by liketheriverrun. Gen, PG-13.

Imaginary Gate Team 5

[(Anonymous)]

This one cracks me up. Here's the (cut and paste) link to the fanfic site;
http://khriskin.livejournal.com/tag/zzz%20-%20imaginary%20gate%20team%205

but check out the "mission reports challenge" by the same author for the same team in SGA Flashfiction.

Thanks so much for the rec! ^_^

For the most part all of the fics are also over on Wraithbait, but everything except for the WIPs are unlocked on my LJ.

A link to the two-page comic is here: tada if you don't want to search through the flashfic archives. :)
