Underappreciated and obscure stories

[tetsubinatu.livejournal.com]

Would anyone like to recommend fics - especially longer ones - that they feel are underappreciated and/or obscure?

I've read some really wonderful fics since I came into the fandom, including all the major rec lists, but I know there must be many fics out there that didn't make the rec lists, but are still really wonderful. Fics on small sites or buried in FF seem to get overlooked too.

Slash or gen please, or team-love. Canon het pairings are also fine as long as they're not the centre of the fic. But no unhappy endings or horror/explicit torture - I'm a total wuss about that stuff!!

I'm going to rec two gen stories from the 2009 Big Bang that did get recced, but imo maybe not quite enough ;)
Whipping Boy (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=74) by skinscript set post-S5 (feels like it could have been one of the really better episodes or the movie-we-won't-get if the writers had all been at their best when they wrote that). gen, ~45,800 words

The Magical Number Seven (Plus or Minus Two) (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=99) by general_jinjur. S4 AU, the Lanteans don't get all their memories back, and the repli!Team is out there. gen, ~61,150 words.

Adrift (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=92) by cypher, which used the same prompt as TMNS, may have gotten more widely recced because it's (mostly) McShep slash and other pairings. ~86,800 words.

(There were several other 2009 Big Bang stories I remember enjoying quite a lot, including Thousandmother and Calling Down the Lightning, both McShep.)

Two earlier searches here you may be interested in:

And last, I rec some non-Mcshep fics, some of which are classics, some not (yet ;) that may not get recced quite as much (anymore) on newer lists and at ongoing comms because they're older or non-McShep or both -- at the "A few recs" subsection, just above the "SGA Big Bang" section of my (Newer) SGA Readers Guide (http://skaredykat.livejournal.com/1083.html) post -- all of which I think are worth reading. :)

So much to look at! I don't know where to begin! Thank you!
