Storm stories please?

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

As I sit waiting for a storm that will probably again pass us by (SE Michigan-Detroit area)I would love some stories about the team battling inclement weather. Rain, snow, tornado or whatever. As a diehard McShep I've lately dipped my toes into Sheppard/Lorne and even Sheppard/Mitchell. I don't quite understand OT4 but if well written please show me. Thank you.

I feel for you! I'm a midwesterner too...it's not looking pretty out there.

Anyways, here's a few recc's to get you through the blizzard! They are all gen, but most are very friendshippy, lots of McKay/Sheppard friendship in all these fics.

Whirlwind
By NotTasha
Official Summary: The team is helping out a town with a broken shield system, a penchant for tornados and a secret. McKay has a building fall on him. He gets hurt. Sheppard, Teyla, Ronon and Beckett along for the ride
Word Count: 55,488

Winter Wonderland
By NotTasha
Official Summary: Team goes to a frozen world for a bit of trade negotiation. Horrible things happen to McKay. Sheppard, Ford and Teyla are here too
Word Count: 36,592
My summary: McKay gets lost in a wintery wilderness, it’s up to the team to find him in time before his injuries, the cold, or a combination of the two kills him.

Treading Water
By Thought Reflex
Official Summary: Drowning had never been a fear Rodney needed to embrace. Trust, relying on others, and having to betray his own secrets, however, was something that kept him awake at night. Friendship, whump, genetic manipulation, homicidal tree huggers…(This fic kind of fits the bill, they are dealing with flooding on Atlantis)
Word Count: 31,362
My summary: This fic kind of fits the bill, they are dealing with flooding on Atlantis. If you like this one, I will also put a plug in here for the sequel which can be found here:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4866842/1/Lost_At_Sea.
As the title might suggest, Rodney gets set adrift in the oceans on Atlantis, battling the elements as he waits for the team to rescue him.

When It Snows
By nebbyJen
Official Summary: When Beckett, Teyla, and McKay become lost in a snowstorm, they must rely on each other if they are going to survive.
Word Count: 39,946
My Summary: Team gets lost on a snowy world, Beckett gets hurt, Rodney gets sick. The team must try to hold it together until help arrives.

Castaways
By Baroqy
Official Summary: McKay and Sheppard are stranded on a planet with no hope of immediate rescue. Sheppard gets infected with a parasite and McKay tries not to die. (Kind of fits the bill, it's them trying to survive on an island while waiting for rescue)
Word Count: 52,807
My Summary: author summarized it well. Sheppard goes around trying to kill McKay on the island, Carson and company aren’t quite sure what to think of the situation once they get the pair back to Atlantis.

I'll also do a little shameless self-pimping:

Reckless Abandon
By hollow_echos
Official summary: The team goes off world to help with a routine evacuation mission during a monsoon. Rodney's left behind on the planet and water levels are rising. Our favorite scientist is left praying for a miracle and a last minute rescue from his teammates.
Word Count: 26,000
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6052440/1/Reckless_Abandon

These are all the ones that immediately came to mind. Stay warm and stay safe in the storm! Hopefully we all get dug out soon enough....

Thank you so much, many stories. I'll start with yours. I wish more people would self-pimp. Too many obscure stories lost. I'm like Marion Zimmer Bradley. I love the slush pile.

on edit, slush pile means stories that are sent by an author, good bad or indifferent, to be read by someone like MZB. It is not a slam.

In both Safe Harbor (http://friendshipper.livejournal.com/79426.html) by friendshipper and the remix Any Port in a Storm (Cold Winds, Hot Air Remix) (http://community.livejournal.com/gateverse_remix/25662.html) by xparrot, Rodney and Ronon must wait out a snowstorm.

ETA: Forgot to mention both are gen. Also, you can feel free to keep that storm instead of passing it along to us New Englanders .... :)

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

Sorry, no can do. It's dropping about 4-6 inches on us and saving it's best for you. Be well and thank you for the rec.

[popkin16]

Oh! Good thing I checked before posting, I was going to recommend the friendshipper one.

Also, hello fellow Michigander!

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

Hello fellow Michigander. Thank you for helping. Please keep coming back to help search stories.

[linziday.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind the self pimping, I've got "Lost and Found" here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4804490/1/Lost_and_Found

It's gen, Rodney and John centric, so not exactly your query. But there's a snowstorm, whumping, and h/c.

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

I remember this story (just now skimmed it), I know your name. I'm going to read it again but I pretty sure I've saved this one.

[linziday.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks. :)

FF.net stripped my fics of their page breaks a while back and I'm slowly putting them back. I just finished page breaking this one, so it might make more sense now.

I live in IL, right in the middle of it. So far it looks like we're going to get the 24" predicted. They canceled school for tomorrow early, like around noon.

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

Got to love this story. ""If we don't die first," McKay says, and Sheppard can feel his hot breath against his neck. "If we die the - the sensors will never pick us up. As soon as our blood stops pumping we'll be frozen fairly quickly."

"You're a very cheerful person,"

Thank you doomsdaybrnete, be safe. At least your not in the sleet corridor.

[doomsdaybrnete.livejournal.com]

Your quite welcome. Thanks and stay safe your self.

Found this one as well

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It'll be the weekend before I can read. I've only just begun to move that white stuff.

[still-the-given.livejournal.com]

Awww shiny storm stories. I feel your pain, down here in Australia battening down the hatches waiting for a Category 5 cyclone to hit our shores. Am just about to watch The Storm and The Eye. :D Here's hoping we have power for long enough.

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

Holy cow! Hope everything is OK.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

The team gets separated on the planet of very bad winter weather in springwoof's Thousandmother (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=91). ~49,000 words, McShep.

Major rain causes trouble in Long As I Remember the Rain's Been Coming Down (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_genficathon/41906.html) by chaps1870. ~18,700 words, gen.

Big bad storm in The Three Hunters (http://mirabile-dictu.slashcity.net/SGA/Hunters.html) (~19,000 words, McShep) and an inhospitable climate in A Richer Dust Concealed (http://mirabile-dictu.livejournal.com/118181.html) (~12,100 words, McShep), both by mirabile_dictu (with, as usual from this writer, excellent worldbuilding in both)

I'm pretty sure auburnnothenna (who also has a lot of good worldbuilding) has some good Watch Out For That Thar Weather stories too... And a previous search that might give you a few more: http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/702500.html

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

Thousandmother (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=91) is on my top 5 list, I love that story. The others look good and thanks for the link to the past search.

[jane-connor.livejournal.com]

Weathering the Storm (http://sgareversebang.dreamwidth.org/11378.html) by ladyanne. PG, ~19,500 words, John/Rodney. Sudden storm occurs while the team on another planet.

Calling Down the Lightning (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=86) by dreamwaffles has this theme where Rodney first stops lightning storm. PG-13, John/Rodney.

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I don't think I've read either story. I'll be all set for this weekend. Can't wait.

[deceptivechasm.livejournal.com]

http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=7660 -- Helical (Gen) They are off world and get caught in a horrible thunderstorm. One of my faves!

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

I had forgotten about this story. Thank you so much for reminding me, it's a keeper.
