Sight Unseen - Brumeier

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15005162

<blockquote>After John's ignominious departure from the Air Force he rents a beach cottage in Oregon, a quiet place to work on his PTSD and figure out what's next in his life. But after he finds a journal left by the previous occupant, John develops an irrational connection to Rodney McKay. When Rodney shows up on his doorstep after having been missing for two years and dealing with his own trauma, can they co-exist at the cottage?</blockquote>

Bridges - busaikko

http://archiveofourown.org/works/63514

<blockquote>Engineer Rodney McKay went to North Carolina's Crystal Coast to help his sister design a series of bridges. He hoped to rebuild his career following a professional disaster; he didn't expect to be drawn into the small community of Athos Island, where he found friendship and perhaps something more with helicopter pilot John Sheppard. But when Rodney tries to learn more about John's past, what he discovers might tear them apart. (non-Stargate AU)</blockquote>

<blockquote>John Sheppard goes west.</blockquote> ➤ The one where John's a ski instructor. I was convinced I'd read this fic before? But it was juuuuust published! So I guess that somewhere in the fandom's history there's another ski instructor au - wouldn't surprise me anyway. ➤ At any rate: I'm eternally delighted by how SGA au's, no matter how au, still often end with them getting to go to Atlantis. Because the otp is really an ot3: John/Rodney/Atlantis 4ever

United States of Hysteria - trinityofone

http://catenip.livejournal.com/18998.html

from kiki_eng's rec: <blockquote>There's an oppressive government in the U.S.A. and John and Rodney are strangers who get married so that John can be safe in Canada, and you know how that genre of fic goes, how there's tentativeness and then the couple finds common ground and they figure out that they want to be together for more than just convenience's sake and they figure out their relationship? That doesn't happen; it's a WIP. They meet and they're awkward and tentative and then there's just... no more fic. </blockquote> ➤ but what a great premise and beginning! I'm glad it exists even in this abandoned state

A Place on the Corner - almostnever

http://mcshep-match.livejournal.com/53637.html

<blockquote>Every morning's the same. John wakes up before dawn, goes down to the kitchen, and starts making honey bread. Next come muffins, turnovers, cinnamon twists, single batches of different kinds of cookies, and a second batch of honey bread for later. He starts in on his deliveries at six-thirty. When he walks into Weir & Caldwell Accounting, the receptionist brightens and says, "Oh good, the bakery guy is here! Thanks!" That's basically all he ever hears her say. He doesn't mind. He only knows her name is Laura Cadman because she signs the receipt neatly.</blockquote> ➤ yet another of those delightful sga fics I read but didn't bookmark back in the day

<blockquote>Screw the bet. Rodney was going to prove the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence. Oh, and incidentally, he might just catch the United States Air Force with their pants around their ankles.</blockquote> ➤ series still wip but the stories stand alone. Probably abandoned at this point - last updated in 2010. (I first bookmarked in July 2009, Whizzy's google docs version, which no longer seems to work. Thankfully it is on ao3!) ➤ series consists of: Black Helicopters at Dawn Big Dish Guy Wrong End of the Rescue Tensile Strength Black Mountainside Blown Away

A Supermarket in California - taffetablue

http://taffetablue.livejournal.com/10542.html

<blockquote>John decides that California doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. After Antarctica, the sun is a very, very attractive prospect, and there are beaches for surfing, and he could go barefoot and wear shorts all the time, which is a nice thought after years in uniform. The letter from his great-uncle’s lawyer tells him that he’s inherited ownership of the store, and it’s probably in his best interests to sell it, unless he’s willing to put the time and effort into refurbishment.</blockquote> ➤ adding another in the list of "sga fics I read back in the day and inexplicably didn't bookmark"

<blockquote>Governor John Sheppard is widower and aspiring presidential candidate. Rodney McKay is his new communications manager. With Rodney's help, John's campaign manages to close the distance to the favorite to win, Cameron Mitchell. However, with the nomination and a likely general election win within reach, John has to realize that his feelings for Rodney could be the one issue that can still stop him.<blockquote>

<blockquote>When John was sixteen years old, his father had told him that a life's ambition was more than saying, "I want to fly." It's also working to do it. This wasn't John's life's ambition. Elizabeth leans into his desk, smiling down at him with the kind of calm authority that won her two terms as the first female president of the United States. "We want you to run."</blockquote>
