Hello good people,

I'm looking for a couple of different fics that I can put on my e-book reader. RTF and PDF formats are preffered, but I'll take anything you can give me and convert it myself.

In all cases, McShep is preffered (though I can stomach McDex and McKay/Beckett, no het please) and if rating is R/NC17 - that's even better. You get extra brownie points for whumped!Rodney.

1) Your 'feel good' stories. Something that will cheer you up so you return to it more then once, something fluffy and sweet, including domestic fics.

2) The 'epic' kind of story - not necessarily when it comes to size of fics, but the general feeling of it. I'd say something that reminds me of Keira Marcos' stories, because even though they are bordering dangerously close to being Mary-Sueish, I like the epic feel of her fics. The 'kicking ass and taking names' stories, if you know what I mean, where the boys are special and they know it (and everyone else knows it too).

3) Are there any crossovers with 'Life on Mars'? Or BBC's 'Sherlock'?

4) Evil!Atlantis making Rodney do something he doesn't want to. I've been listening to podfic 'Foolproof and Incapable of Error' by neery, so maybe something along that theme?

5) Any newer child stories? I've been through most of the links for searches that were posted before.

6) John and Rodney are openly married, not hiding their relationship from Atlantis or SGC

7) Very insecure!Rodney (about his looks or/and his relationship with John)

Please edit your post to remove or rewrite the parts of it which prompted this specific search, since those are against our rules and would usually get your post deleted. I don't want to delete the recs you already got, so you have a chance to correct your post this time. Thank you for understanding.

Next time maybe edit first, comment second?

ETA: You seem to have removed an unrelated part of your post; what I was asking was to basically change this part of #4: and I cannot remember the title for the life of me into the title and author (and maybe link) of the story. Nothing more.

For #2: Some oldie but really good ones,

Unnatural Selection by Auburn (http://archiveofourown.org/works/113891/chapters/158923). Amazing epic story, McShep, fusion with SGU.

Raiders of the Seven Systems by Martha Wilson (http://www.ltljverse.com/watergate/stories/raiders.htm) Gen but seriously kickass!john and very action/adventure, apocafic

No Good Deed by Forestgreen (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=87). It's a Sheppard/Mitchell but oh so very epically good. John is a super!thief and eventually becomes BFF with Rodney & lovers with Cam.

Keira Marcos posted a bunch of excerpts and WiP stories on her LJ account that you may not have caught. My favorites that qualify for #2 are:
If Your Heart's Not In It by Keira Marcos (http://keiramarcos.livejournal.com/63199.html) a McShep crossover with The Sentinel & Criminal Minds
More Than Anything by Keira Marcos (http://keiramarcos.livejournal.com/65394.html#cutid1) aka Big Gay Love in Canada where John & Rodney get married in Canada instead of going to Atlantis. That is until Jack tracks them down because they are desperately needed...

Indelible by shaenie (http://archiveofourown.org/works/120496?view_full_work=true) is a great kickass!john McShep with an awesome space battle scene. Definitely worth reading if you haven't done so already.

Only the Journey Matters by ga unicorn (http://ga-unicorn.livejournal.com/16949.html?view=179253#t179253) - John takes a new marine out for flying lessons and contretemps ensue including attack of the giant lizard.

The Queen by kashkow (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3861857/1/The_Queen) where John & Ronon defeat a Wraith Queen. Gen.

SGA/Sherlock crossover

The only problem is it's too short! :)

There's also [livejournal.com profile] runpunkrun's hilarious (though also too short!) crossover ficlet a lieutenant colonel in london (http://runpunkrun.livejournal.com/300939.html), which has more bunnies in the comments.

The Geeks and Goons series is available as a single .pdf. I don't have the link handy and can't currently look for it, but a google search should reveal all. If it doesn't poke me and I'll email it to you after I'm home.

for 1. The Tragic, Doomed, and Epic Life and Loves of Elizabeth Jean McKay, Plus Other Interesting Stuff (http://archiveofourown.org/works/55446) by Deastar is a cute feelgood kidfic that's very funny. (~McShep, ~13,500 words)

for 2. A recent search for epic length (and some epic-feeling) McShep stories you may want to check out:
http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/820471.html

for 6. They're openly married in Oasis (http://blueraccoon.livejournal.com/558127.html) by [livejournal.com profile] blueraccoon (McShep, they get outed, they go to Earth, they come back, ~39,800 words), and well, it's the premise of [livejournal.com profile] astolat's classic No Refunds or Exchanges (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/No%20Refunds%20Or%20Exchanges.html) (McShep, partial AU, ~11,100 words)

For more pointers to PDFs, you may want to check this earlier post:
http://community.livejournal.com/sgagenrefinders/810671.html
Plus it's now super-easy to download any story on the AO3 as a PDF... (e.g. Indelible (http://archiveofourown.org/works/120496?view_full_work=true) or auburn's longfics (http://archiveofourown.org/users/auburn/pseuds/auburn/works?selected_tags[]=70) or toomuchplor's recent kidfic (http://archiveofourown.org/works/122131) or if you're willing to consider a longer Sheppard/Mitchell story Imaginary Boys (http://archiveofourown.org/works/90435) or ...). I have a few more pointers to PDF and other e-book format resources in my (Newer) SGA Readers Guide (http://skaredykat.livejournal.com/1083.html#cutid10), and another few in the comments (http://skaredykat.livejournal.com/1083.html?thread=77627#t77627).

Happy reading! :)

I just read a really great crossover (McShep and Sherlock), but I think it's based more on the books than the series, A Lesson In Evil by Madison

1. For McDex, I strongly recommend: "Romancing Rodney (Or, Ronon Dex Gets His Man" by Msgordo. Ronon Dex romances Rodney by using a Harlequin Romance novel as his "guide" on how to romance people from Earth. Yes, Chaos ensues. The link to the story is: http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=5453

Love this one. Scenes from a Lesser War by Amireal. DADT repealed. Best Kiss Ever.
http://amific.livejournal.com/4455.html

How about AUs? There's a fun one where Rodney is a writer on Earth who thinks he invented John and Atlantis for his books but he really didn't and he ends up in Atlantis. The Long Journey Home by Skoosipants.
http://skoosiepants.livejournal.com/178151.html

Beadattitude's Checkmate series is one of my favorite comfort fics.
http://beadattitude.livejournal.com/267757.html

Pretty much everything on skaredykat's "were you looking for" list of the most requested fics searches, but a warning, the descriptions do give away spoilers.
http://skaredykat.livejournal.com/3552.html

AO3 has the ability to download any fic in several formats. Mobi, EPUB, PDF, HTML. Extremely easy and very usefull.
