Two requests

[qzee.livejournal.com]

One of the stories I like to reread is "Teamwork by Magus Minor" in which Rodney is a RCMP officer and John is a mathmetician and part of the science division on Atlantis and I was hoping all of you could point me towards other stories in which two of the "Main characters" switch places. Maybe Weir is the Chief Scientists/with the scientists and Rodney's in charge. Or Teyla is in the American Armed Forces (any division) and John is the leader of the Athosians. Or maybe Carson is the leader of the expedition and Weir is the doctor. Or John the doctor and Carson in the military. Any way and two of the following: Rodney, John, Carson, Teyla, Weir, Woolsey switching places as it were.

Another favorite is "Tao of Whales" by Friendshipper a sequel to the big bang fic of "A Clear and Different Light" in which Rodney is a whale rider, John is a mage, Teyla a Rune Scientist, and Ronon has wings! Anyway, what I love about Tao of Whales is that though I love Tao of Rodney, Tao of Whales is just so much better. And that is what I'm looking for, episode based AU fic in which the events/story just is better than the actual episode. A fic based on an episode in which the fic is so good you just have to read it a few times and it becomes almost canon in your mind. I really like Rodney so if Rodney is part of the fic it'd be a huge bonus but it's not a set requirement. Just no McKay/Keller.

Thank you for any and all links.

I can´t think of any where only two characters switch places, but there are some where (nearly) all of them switch around. Are you interested in those stories too?

[qzee.livejournal.com]

sure, I'd love that.

The Roads Never Lead Where They´re Supposed to Go (http://dejabu.robot-army.org/sgaroads.html) by eleveninches. John is a botanist.

Curiouser and Curiouser (http://gaiaanarchy.livejournal.com/43737.html), by gaiaanarchy. Teyla leads the expedition to Earth.

Walk a Klick (http://trinityofone.livejournal.com/123364.html), by trinityofone. Teyla and Rodney switch roles.

Heteronormativity, Gender Construction and Nonverbal Signaling in Intercultural Communication: A Comedy (http://www.alyse.info/sesa_files/heteronormativity.htm) by mad_maudlin is technically a Mensa AU, but I think it fits.

I asked for two more over at sgastoryfinders here (http://community.livejournal.com/sgastoryfinders/3120191.html).

[qzee.livejournal.com]

thank you, reading all of those should keep me busy for awhile.

[schneefink.livejournal.com]

The two I found at storyfinders:

The Major Zelenka ´verse (http://archiveofourown.org/works/54853) by mad_maudlin.

Every Day is Another Tomorrow (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/789911.html) by tielan. Teyla is military, Sheppard the scientist, Ford the medical doctor and Rodney the Runner.

[qzee.livejournal.com]

thank you for these. I just finished Heternormativity and as soon as I recover from laughing myself nearly to death, I shall try reading these two.

[schneefink.livejournal.com]

It tends to have those consequences. Sorry I forgot to warn xD

Theory of Everything (http://www.goldenmaze.com/theoryofeverything.htm) by rheanna27 did the plot of The Shrine before The Shrine, and there's a case to be made that Theory of Everything is better. It's NSFW, McKay/Sheppard slash.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

strongly second this rec.

[qzee.livejournal.com]

you're right, that is better than the Shrine. Thank you for reccing it.

[jennytork.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind self-recs?

Reverse Variants (http://www.enolasrealm.com/rolereversal.htm) and Queen of Atlantis (http://www.enolasrealm.com/hathor.htm) both have John and Rodney in each other's roles.

[qzee.livejournal.com]

cool, I'll go read them soon and comment when I do. Thanks for pointing to them.

[qzee.livejournal.com]

I like the idea of Rodney/Hatshep whatever. She's cool. The Rodney and John switching places thing could have happened in canon too, if they had wanted to try it. It's a fun idea.

[qzee.livejournal.com]

reverse variants was cool. Off to read Queen of Atlantis

[jennytork.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

For 2:
The Pleasure of Your Company (http://archiveofourown.org/works/5947) by deltacephei (McShep, ~8200 words) is a fun AU for/improvement on Brainstorm. Author's Summary: "What? No, this isn't even remotely like a date, which is why I can't ask her, which is why I'm asking you."

[qzee.livejournal.com]

very cool, thank you for all the recs.

[michelel72.livejournal.com]

From my to-be-read tags, Emerging (http://yappichick.livejournal.com/71879.html) seems to be a retelling with Teyla as the USAF major.

[qzee.livejournal.com]

that sounds as if it would be seriously cool. Thank you.

[doomsdaybrnete.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's exactly what you're looking for but, Sheppard does come to Atlantis as a Mathematician. No one else's situation is different.

[qzee.livejournal.com]

I love kyrdwyn's writing in the Enterprise fandom so this should be right up my alley. Thank you for pointing to it.

[neth-dugan.livejournal.com]

Ummm, don't usually self plug or anything but I wrote one like this ages back - it got deleted from my main LJ for some reason but it is on FF.N.... Just Watch (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2520437/1/) and it's McShep.
