Happy fic recs

[admiralandrea.livejournal.com]

Looking for McShep schmoop, boys being adorkable and clueless in love. Any length, preferably not too angsty. Sort of things are Farm in Iowa or the Checkmate verse.

Rec me your favourite stories that make you go "aw!" and "ah!" and so forth, please!

Or perhaps an Octopus? http://casa-mcshep.livejournal.com/8966.html Once Upon a Furry Octopus.

(That's enough animal fics, ed.)

Enjoy

Yipee, I love penguins! And octopi are cool too :-)

Thank you!

I trawled my bookmarks on AO3. These are some of my favorite adorkable, clueless, cute John/Rodney fics -- though I'm not sure if they're all truly first time fics.

Happily Ever After (the Pegasus Remix) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/881) by cupidsbow
It's the one where Rodney has a magic not-slipper bracelet and only his true love can take it off.

Awakenings by Silverraven (http://archiveofourown.org/works/89977)
Earthside, John wakes Rodney up for a ride home from the bar. It's funny and cute.

Basement Cat Has Infiltrated Heaven (http://archiveofourown.org/works/309863) by kisahawklin
I don't want to give away the ending but yeah, I love this one a lot.

Kisses Kept (http://archiveofourown.org/works/327638) by ember_firedrake
Offworld kissing compatibility test. Excellenttttt.

Signs Point To... (http://archiveofourown.org/works/370410) by telesilla
All the birthday presents John's given to Rodney, including a deluxe Magic 8 Ball.

Undercover Preparation (http://archiveofourown.org/works/243599) by velocitygrass
AU where John & Rodney are undercover cops and they have to kiss convincingly...


...And one that's shamelessly not first time, in FACT pre-established even, but the guys are super adorkable in it:
Durb Is Not a Word (http://archiveofourown.org/works/413812) by mific
In which they play Scrabble (and cheat).

Awesome, thank you! And non-first times are also great :-)

[omg-wtf-yeah.livejournal.com]

No problem. Any opportunity to brag about my great taste. ;)

I have a happy!fic tag on my pinboard for fics that make me...well, happy. Some might have some light angst or something, though.

Here's the tag for mcshep + happy!fic + favorite.

[admiralandrea.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thanks. A little bit of angst is fine, it's the heavy stuff I don't want.

I hope you find something you like :D

Have to add my favorite awww-inducing series: The Nantucket ‘Verse by aesc, dogeared, sheafrotherdon, and siriaeve (link goes to index page)
http://wagoneer.livejournal.com/1478.html or http://archiveofourown.org/series/1067
I like it better than Farm in Iowa and it's 50/50 w/ Checkmate verse ;)
