S5, e02 The Seed

[mcparrot.livejournal.com]

Hi folks. I'm just watching season 5 for the first time and it strikes me the potential for Sheppard whumpage is huge.
It's only a month since he needed surgery after being pinned by a beam in an explosion.
He gets to "test" Carson's phage and it stops his heart
Then he gets stabbed by an enraged bit of proto wraith hive - and that's just the stuff in canon.

I also thought the whole, this is how a hive ship grows thing was creepily cool.

With all of that I thought there would be heaps of stories out there, but using the tags on AO3 and Crossroads I've only found 4 short ones and they all seem to be John/Ronon.

Any McShep fics out there with lots of John whump? Or AUs where the boys build their own Hive ship somehow, one of the boys was infected and started to grow goopy tentacles? Any and all variations related to this episode would be fine. And I will take other pairings too if there's some whumping involved.

Also related to the episode, but quite different, any stories on Teyla and motherhood that relates back to how she must have been in absolute dispair for her child while trapped by Michael. We see her in this episode wandering around all gooey eyed and maternal, but it can't be that easy for her at night when she can't sleep.

Bonus points if there's any fic out there that combines these two requests.

Thank you.

ps - is whump spelt with or without the "h"?

Are you looking for fic that deals with canon S5 whump (Search and Rescue, The Seed, Remnants, etc.); fic that deals with the aftermath of those canon events; or fic with S5 whump that's not canon?

I just like whump, but I was interested in the s5 canon and missing scenes/aftermath type thing because I thought some of the canon ideas were intriguing..

But please rec me anything you've got. I'll enjoy it all.

Thank you

The Seed fics

Grow Up to Be Your Ruin by alipeeps is my favorite. 9,000 words.

Episode tags for The Seed. There are at least a few here that are McShep.

Enjoy!

(A lot of the eptags deal more with the 'comfort' than with the 'hurt': canon was pretty explicit with the Sheppard whump is S5.)
