Exhaustion, and rebuilding

[tonko.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm seeking a couple of kinds of fics. Prefer shippy, but gen is fine, and any het/slash/poly too, except not John/Elizabeth or Rodney/Elizabeth (though her with Ronon or Teyla or anyone else is totally awesome). Anyway:

1 - Hurt/comfort fics that deal with taking care of of someone who had been completely and utterly run into the ground with exhaustion. It can be purely staying awake for far too long, or more severe like being unrelentingly hunted, while injured, etc. Basically I want someone to be dead on their feet to the point of incoherent collapse, and for someone who cares to deal with it. This can be in any AU as well.

2 - Rebuilding after near annihilation. Like, if Atlantis got almost destroyed and the remnant population stayed to scrape up the parts, or fled to start a new life somewhere else, or what have you, and end up building a community. Like the fics where Atlantis secedes from Earth, only with a more catastrophic start-from-scratch feeling.

EDIT: Wow, you guys. Check out comments for a super selection.

for 1, try mad_maudlin's hilarious One of Those Days All Week (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/845460.html). ~5150 words, gen, Rodney gets drugged by some aliens and can't sleep and can't sleep and is incoherent with tiredness and can't sleep. John helps.

That sounds PERFECT. Thank youuuu :D

Oh and for 2, another one by mad_maudlin fits sorta, one of the scenarios in the thought-provoking Triptych (http://archiveofourown.org/works/54856) (~4800 words, gen, SG-1 crossover/non-AUs from The Siege and Moebius)

That Will Break You (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/67080.html) by mz_bstone fits. ~8300 words, McKeller, McShep. (This one's listed in category three (http://www.ratcreature.net/fannish_stuff/sga_thematiclist_atlantiscutoff.php#colony) of ratcreature's Atlantis is cut off from Earth or secedes list (http://www.ratcreature.net/fannish_stuff/sga_thematiclist_atlantiscutoff.php), which you may want to check out.)

You are being far too helpful today. "Sorta" fits is fine--good fic is good fic, the second one looks extremely promising, and I am bookmarking that master list for perusal.

You're very welcome! Oh, and if you get recced ones for your second request that aren't on ratcreature's list but fit that third category, if you can let ratcreature know about them, they'll get added (handy for next readers). :)

For #2 you might like this: Pegasus Purgatorio (http://www.hawksong.com/~thammill/SGA_Fic/purgatorio.htm) by Mrs Hamill

With Atlantis being overrun, they have to evacuate to earth, but John & Rodney accidentally get left behind. This story is how they survive and try to get back to Earth. The word count ~200,000.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

And have a rec set that works well for your first request, put together by michelel72 (some though not all listed above and in jane_connor's links): Top Five SGA Gen Friend-Remedied Sleep-Deprivation Fics (http://community.livejournal.com/sgversetop5/6518.html). :)

264 Hours by Lenore (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/358631.html), NSFW, John/Rodney, Rodney/OMC. After the Siege, back on Earth, Rodney still can't sleep and can't forgive Sheppard for flying the bomb, for days.
