Hey guys! I'm so desperate for some fic to deal with this terrible cold I have.

1) I've read Aegis, , What I'm looking for is Rodney-centered fics that are either Fantasy or Science Fiction (could be AU of canon, or AU). I don't mind crossovers, or fusions, as long as the focus is on the SGA characters. It can be gen, friendship, team or McShep as long as it's Rodney-centered or Rodney has an important part in the story. I'm not really that into BDSM. What I really want is well-written, in character stories with a plot. Major cookie points for FemMeredith.

2) My second is also Rodney-centered AU fic that do not deal with the SGA. Stories set in the Old West or stories that deal with pirates, bank robbers, horses, ranchers, knights, etc. There was one story I read with the whole SGA-1 set in the Old West where they are robbers, or one where Rodney was a veterinarian and John had a ranch. Or one where Rodney was a border patrol agent. There was another one where Rodney was a knight. Stories like that. It can be gen, friendship, team or McShep. I just want it to be either Rodney-centered or Rodney playing a vital part in the story. I'm not really into BDSM. I'm really looking for well-written, in character stories with a plot. Major points for FemMeredith.

3) Are there any stories out there where Rodney and/or John are part of the SGC, as in an off-world team before Atlantis? I read this wonderful story where Rodney and John were part of the SG-6 team. Rodney doesn't have to be part of an off-world team, but just already an integrated part of the SGC before the Atlantis mission. I hope I'm making some sense here. I read this other fic where Rodney was part of the original SG-1 and was married to Carter but in this story he was taken over by a T'kra and left the SGC. What I want is stories where Rodney is still a part of the SGC before the Atlantis mission. It can be gen, friendship, team, McShep. Not really into BDSM. I'm really craving in-character, well-written stories with a plot. Major cookie points for FemMederith.

Thank you so much for any stories you guys can rec me!

For the most fabulous AU resource, go here:
http://www.squidge.org/GiantMcShepAUList/the-actual-list/

You'll find the list separated by job in alphabetical order, with John's job first, then Rodney's. You'll have weeks of happy reading ahead of you. [I'm working my way through the entire list!]

There's also a separate tab for half-AU, where either John or Rodney is canon and the other AU.

Enjoy!!!

1. Calling Down The Lightning. McShep.

2. I sort of focused on the Old West theme, which translated to "historic AU" in my head. Hopefully some of these will fit?
Blue Colorado Skies. Gen.
Unconventional Beauty. McShep.
The Road to Nowhere. McShep.
Hero of the Prairie. McShep.
The Prisoner of Zenda. McShep.

3. SG-15. McShep.

Well, I don't think I should, as I'm still working through the list. OTOH, I have yet to be disappointed by any story. Of course, some of the writers are very well-known in this fandom and write brilliant gems; so, if you recognize a familiar name, click on it.

However, I've had the most fun finding the most outrageous pairing of occupations and reading those.

Anyway, I'm glad to have made your day!

2)If you don't mind a self pimp, this is Team/Gen with Rodney playing a vital role.

“Long Ago (And Far Away)” (http://kristen999.livejournal.com/247944.html) -- 90,000- with over forty pictures---Rating: PG-15

Summary: WWII-based AU. The Team as we know it has been transplanted to the South Pacific. Major John Sheppard, his navigator, Lt Rodney McKay, and his gunner, Sgt Ronon Dex, are stationed on the island of New Guinea on the eve of the island nation's greatest battle.

If you like WWII fics, check out Enigma (http://archiveofourown.org/works/65239), a McShep fic by [livejournal.com profile] sarah_madison/[livejournal.com profile] sgamadison. She's expanded & modified the story & will be self-publishing it as The Boys of Summer (http://www.sarahmadisonfiction.com/2013/04/the-boys-of-summer-gets-cover-art-new-releaseses-and-more/) soon!

Also, since you like AUs, I recommend perusing [livejournal.com profile] zinfic's list of fics (http://zinfic.livejournal.com/33974.html). She writes mostly gen & McShep SGA fics & I particularly like her Entangled Particles 'verse.

"Still"? What is this "still" you mention?

I normally have 9-10 tabs open in Firefox. The Giant AU list is smack dab in the middle, right next to the LJ one. I can't imagine NOT having it handy. If you're a meat'n'potatoes person, then it's Prime Rib with Garlic Mash (or whatever main course you prefer). If you're a sweets person, then it's a Rodneylicious death-by-chocolate-cake! [Sorry, Rodney accepts NO substitutes, lol.] If you're greedy (me-me-me, I am), then it's the whole meal.

When I have a free moment, I'll just point and click and be transported far, far away. So easy.

You'll never convince me not to be a frequent visitor ... also checking out new entries. So, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

Well, in that case, you're very welcome. Did you notice that there's a companion list, where one or the other is their canon self and only the other is AU?

(And I'm a greedster, just like you. :D )
