Other main characters

[mcparrot.livejournal.com]

Hi all. I've been rapt and immersed in SGA for about the last 5 years. I'm late to the party but that has meant a positive wealth of great fic.

It's all been about the McShep for me but I think I might be maturing enough to branch out.

I'm reading my way through the "other SGA characters" tags on this board, but I'd love if people could point me to their favourite stories with other main characters beside John or Rodney.

So many other characters have interesting backgrounds and distinct personalities. I won't mention particular favourites. This is about seeing Atlantis or the universe from different viewpoints.

Just SGA characters please. I've never seen SG1.

Many thanks
McP

I can't get on AO3 from work to leave a proper link, but you should check out nagi_schwarz's stuff there. She has a lot of fic about Evan Lorne and it's awesome. Heart-rippingly so, at times.

Thank you. I'll go look them up.

So sorry, thought I had, but it didn't seem to "stick". Trying again.

I mostly read McShep too. But, The Secret Lives of Scientists by Julad is one of the few non-McShep fics I've bookmarked. It's McKay/Zelenka in the end.

And, for more humorous M/Z check out Absurdity Theory by the same author.

Sounds fun. I'll check them out.

If you don't mind a Harry Potter crossover, "Undone Wars" by esama is my favourite story about Ronon: https://archiveofourown.org/works/2849954/chapters/6390185

And "My Home And Native Land" by copperbadgeis an awesome Ronon-centric story too (this one is not a crossover, pure SGA): https://archiveofourown.org/works/622241/chapters/1123145

If you're willing to try different pairings, there's also some great Rodney/Ronon fics. Their personality quirks somehow make them a fun and endearing couple.

You can start with "Three Hundred and Sixty-Four" - http://smiley.zonezine.net/html/96860.html

And Fanlore has a nice short list of other favs.
