Leaders and ZPMs

[daisy-may11.livejournal.com]

After being recc'd some excellent fics a couple of weeks ago, I thought I'd ask again. (I am allowed to do that?)

• Please could anyone recommend any fics where the Lanteans make or discover ZPMs?  Mcshep slash and looong preferred please.
• Also, are there any where Rodney or John become the expedition leaders? Mcshep and long again please if possible

Many thanks
Daisy.

Waiting for my real life to begin by toomuchplor fits the first request :)

They learn Atlantis can make ZPMs in Written By The Victors: http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Victors.html (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Victors.html)

There are two that fit the bill for #1 above, that happen to be two of my favorites:

First is "The Lantean Legacy" by Keira Marcos. A long, 10 chapter work in which lots happens after ZPMs are located. Here: http://keiramarcos.com/fan-fiction-index/stargate-atlantis-fan-fiction/the-lantean-legacy/lantean-legacy-no-enemy-within/

Second is "This Kingdom We Have Made" by hoktauri - which as I said before, is how I would have loved to have seen an Atlantis Season 6 written. Here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/264901

Updated Link for 'Kingdom'?

I'm unable to locate 'hoktauri's' story. Do you have a link that works?

mod, butting in

You could simply ask the author, hoktauri about it, they updated their journal only yesterday so they're def. still around.

(Also, you could check if the Wayback Machine has the AO3 page archived.)

I did find it on the McShep Match website at: http://www.refugeeblues.com/mcshepmatch/2011/TeamSheppard/w8cr-thiskingdom.html

It's not the major point of the story, but ZPM stuff of that nature does occur in Leah & my story The Body Holographic (http://archiveofourown.org/works/324273). It fits your other criteria of a) long and b) McShep

Someone already recced Lantean Legacy. but Keira's What Might have Been verse gets into Rodney figuring out how to recharge the ZPMs somewhere in the middle of the chapters. It also fits the looong story request.

I can think of 2 fics where ZPMs where found off the top of my head:
Loving Rodney by Lady ra
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/454676
Summary: Atlantis comes to love Rodney, and so does Sheppard.

Snippet 1 by kenitra_canada
Link: http://kenitra-canada.livejournal.com/3673.html
Summary: "What the hell is a sentinel?"
Note: ZPMs on briefly mentioned

Then there are these:
The Journey Series by pinkdiamonds
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/series/14634
Note: A fic series where Rodney traveled to the past after a tragedy. In the past, Rodney figures out how to make a ZPM.

Seven Walls series by auburn
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/series/1941
Note: ZPM creation is mentioned briefly in the end of the first part (chapter 17). It's a long fic series.

I must say, your request made me go through my browser faves to see how many fics I had that dealt with ZPMs. Consequently, I now have a new tag because there was a more than a handful of fic that had ZPMs in some manner.

Wow, this is fantastic. I posted this last night before I went to bed and now it's morning I have a whole new list of fics to read. Many, many thanks to you who have suggested things for me and also to whoever created this site in the first place. It's great.

Love
