Rodney a Witch/Wizard, Mental Powers, Fantasy, McShep Breakup, AU McShep and Rodney in the military

[water-soter.livejournal.com]

#1 - Hey guys! I'm looking for any fics that have Rodney having magical powers, like him being a wizard or something magical. I've read "Calling Down Lightning" and "McKay's Quality Brooms & Sundry Oddments" but I haven't found a lot of quality fics out there. So can anyone rec me some? They can be Gen, friendship, Team or McShep. Rodney-centered please. Please no BDSM or kinky stuff.

#2 - Also, I'm looking for any fics that have Rodney having mental powers. Like telepathy, telekinesis, pre-cog, etc or any powers just as long as he was born with them even if they manifested later in life or from birth or the result of experimentation as a kid. I read "Treating Water" and its sequels and another one I can't remember where Rodney was kidnapped from Atlantis by Baal. So can anyone rec to me any other fics? They can be Gen, friendship, Team or McShep. Rodney-centered please. Please no BDSM or kinky stuff.

#3 - Another request are fantasy stories. Rodney-centered stories set in a magical world. I was reading "On Wings of Imagination" and its sequel, "Slightly Tarnished Armor" and "A Clear and Different Light" and its sequel so I'm hoping you guys can rec any more fics. They can be Gen, Friendship, McShep or Team. Please no BDSM or kinky stuff. It can be a cross or fusion.

#4 - McShep fics where they break up over some misunderstanding. Rodney-centered. They can be AU, cross, fusions. Please no BDSM or kinky stuff. FemRodney is welcomed! Happy endings prefered but not necessary.

#5 - I'm hoping you guys can help me find any AU McShep fics. Rodney-centered. Get together fics are best, but I'll take anything. They can be cross or fusion. Please no BDSM or kinky stuff. Just well written fics that keep them both in character.

#6 - Rodney-centered fics where Rodney was/is in the military. It can be AU, cross, fusions. McShep, Gen, friendship or team. Please no BDSM or kinky stuff. FemRodney welcomed!

For #5 the very best place to go is The Giant McShep AU List (http://www.squidge.org/GiantMcShepAUList/the-actual-list/)! Oh, and it really does mean giant! McShep is used loosely for some of these; there are gen fics but the focus is still on John and Rodney.

It includes:
For #1 how about Rodney being John's Fairy Godfather?
Whatever You Wish For (http://skoosiepants.livejournal.com/169774.html)
For #2 Rodney is the pushy, sarcastic psychic who turns up on John the actor's doorstep.
Star-Maker (http://darkhavens.livejournal.com/208799.html)
Only reservation is that there are no descriptions (or it would be even longer) so you have to individually check the fics yourself.



Also #5 is On The Wings Of An Eagle (http://www.rhymer.org.uk/sga/eagle/eagle.htm)

An Elizabethan set AU with the whole team but a definite Rodney focus, gen and coming in at 50,000 words. Includes pictures!

Plus The Pirate's Prisoner (http://www.rhymer.org.uk/sga/pirate/pirate.htm)
and it's sequel The Price of a Pardon (http://www.rhymer.org.uk/sga/pirate2/pirate2.htm).

These have Rodney as the misfit inventor son who is kidnapped initially by the feared pirate John Sheppard, who needs his genius. The stories have plenty of other SGA characters also making an appearance. The first is 42.000 words and the second is 49,000 words, with pictures again included!

Finally #1 Born In The Barrens (http://www.rhymer.org.uk/sga/slave.htm).

This has Rodney as a Master Alchemist who is undercover among the Genii and is given the gift of a slave. This one is T for some swearing and also torture but isn't McShep. It is 60,000 words.

These last 4 are all by rhymer23 who writes incredibly detailed AUs, historical or otherwise and has a tendency to have Rodney front and centre in a lot of her work. Her other fic is definitely worth checking out.

Magic and fantasy word

I see these as a mix of #1 and #3. All are mcshep except for the one noted threesome.

Aegis by Leah and Springwoof

http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=12188&warning=12

Summary:
The Ancients' genes didn't just confer the power to activate their technology. For ten percent of Earth's population, like John Sheppard, the ATA gene also gave them Gifts: special abilities that made them admired, envied, and feared.
Sheppard was a Charmer, one of the feared ones, whose particular Gift let him create faith whenever he needed to be trusted or believed. But Sheppard didn't trust himself not to destroy what he loved most. And somewhere along the line, amid the terror and chaos of the Expedition's first year in the Pegasus Galaxy, what Sheppard loved most had become Rodney McKay.
McKay didn't trust anyone. As soon as you started trusting people, you started counting on them, depending on them, and that was when you became vulnerable. And vulnerable things didn't survive. So just when, exactly, had he started trusting Sheppard?
And what was going to happen, now that he did?
Enthrall by Springwoof and Leah
Sequel to Aegis

Summary
Rodney McKay thought his biggest failure was the Arcturus Project and the destruction of 4/5ths of a solar system. John Sheppard thought losing his confidence in Rodney was the hardest loss he would ever face.

Any Technology Sufficiently Advanced by soleta

Summary
At nineteen, John thought he knew what was possible and what wasn't. If magic was real, what else was he missing?

Mercy of the Fallen by Kat Reitz and Perryvic
Threesome, McKay/Sheppard/Beckett, which is usually not my thing but this is some epic fantasy well worth reading.

Rodney turned away from the Captain, and moved towards the middle of the room. "Good afternoon. I'm sure we're all anxious for this interviewing process to start, but there's a demon in the room. Lieutenant Barnes there is possessed, and I'm not going to stand here and pretend I don't see it. I'm sure some of you have seen it — well, this whole room is full of us. Why play the secret game?"

The Sacraficial Mage by lavvyan

http://www.alyse.info/sesa_files/TheSacrificialMage.htm

Summary:
Magic was a substance, like fire or water. It was abundant and incredibly powerful and could be manipulated with the correct application of knowledge and will. But if you didn't use it properly, you'd be immolated or drowned. Or worse: other people would be, and you'd be forced to watch it happening. That was why it terrified him to see the casual, unthinking way Teyla and Carson used magic, because he knew that someday they'd be forced to pay for what they'd taken. Every wizard would, sooner or later. It was the first thing mages ever learned, and Rodney had lived it.

Magic was a zero-sum game. If you didn't sacrifice as much as you were given, you would lose.


The Return of the Dragons by Mithreon

The magicians are their most important defence against the Wraith.

Forgot one!

For #5: a totally epic AU with Rodney and John is See No Evil (http://sgabigbang.talkoncorners.net/?view=fic&id=28) by greyias.

It was written for the prompt: Stargate Program never happened. That doesn't even begin to describe the fic. It is over 89,000 words and is a brilliantly told story of a developing unlikely friendship. At the same time there is a feeling of something being wrong with this situation and the reader is slowly feed information on what is really going on.

I think it's in the AU List but, frankly, more than deserves its' own mention!
