<blockquote>“I don’t know how they do it in the United States Air Force, but in Canada if someone can’t keep their core temperature up, we share body heat. Scoot up Colonel.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Written for the 2016 SGA Secret Santa. Dave Sheppard's girls are kidnapped. John Sheppard and his team - and the dubiously-humored Dr. Daniel Jackson - show up to help. Gun fights and car chases ensue.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"I'm sorry," the librarian said. His voice sounded genuinely regretful. "But I can't possibly grant access to a lone electron."</blockquote>

<blockquote>Rodney is stuck in an endless Monday.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Summary: Rodney wasn't trained for this. Author's Note: So, I mentioned I was working on a fic where Rodney ends up involuntarily in charge, right? Yeah. This is it.</blockquote> ➤ of course, Rodney ends up in charge bc of bad things having happened

<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

<blockquote>John always gets a little thrill when he sees Rodney sign at him across the room, casually dissing people literally standing next to him and John is the only one who knows.</blockquote> ➤ In which Rodney is mute and talks in sign language

<blockquote>YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE</blockquote> ➤ the one where John keeps walking into doors and injuring himself because he's used to the way Atlantis opens doors for him

<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>Featuring John Sheppard as The Man.</blockquote> ➤ oh dude so many feelings. ➤ Lovely established relationship fic about Rodney and John's actual functional relationship in amongst all the difficulties of life on Atlantis.

<blockquote>"I can't believe he ascended the baby," Dr. Kavanagh says.</blockquote> ➤ or: the one where Atlantis discovers Ancient TV, and Ancient soap operas

<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>Teyla is the beautiful one, Ronon is the enigmatic one, and Rodney, of course, is the genius one. But John, John is the star.</blockquote> ➤ A band AU, and kind of quietly tragic

<blockquote>"Okay, whoops," John said, just after Rodney turned into a dolphin. At least, he was pretty sure that the dolphin was Rodney: it was better than thinking that Rodney and the dolphin had unexpectedly switched places, and Rodney had been transported to the middle of the ocean somewhere.</blockquote> ➤ That's weird that I never bookmarked this before; I've totally read it!

<blockquote>In the present, Rodney was lying prone on his back, knees up and apart, covers rucked messily under him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>It was just Rodney's luck that the guy with the strongest expression of the ATA gene on Earth was some lanky alpha who couldn't follow an order as basic as "don't touch anything."</blockquote>

<blockquote>The thing about the Gate translator was that after the first few weeks, you stopped thinking about it most of the time, until something happened like Ronon bumping shoulders with Teyla after a particularly uncomfortable meeting with a village elder and saying, "Bros before hoes."</blockquote> ➤ Or: atlantis galaxy has a/b/o dynamics. John and Rodney are oblivious.

<blockquote>John and Rodney are socks. Yes, socks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Months after he was kidnapped, John escapes and returns to Atlantis, but he's miserable. His captors conditioned him as a sexual submissive and to come on command and only on command. Embarrassed and desperate, craving the satisfaction and headspace of those experiences, he turns to Rodney for help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>eating during sex, mild D/s, bottom!John, and, of course, cupcakes</blockquote>

<blockquote>for the sga_kinkmeme prompt, John and Rodney are bound together with Rodney's dick in John's mouth.... Reluctance all around, but neither has a choice in the matter. Prefer if after rescue it did not lead to a relationship or to long term angst.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AUs I'm definitely not writing.</blockquote> ➤ the last two are the best ones

<blockquote>Tentacles and true love. "No way," Rodney says out loud. "No fucking way am I coming home after a long day of offworld Wraith-craziness just to get molested by the Ancient tentacular shower attachments, no way – "</blockquote>

<blockquote>He was an intelligent, intuitive pet, but he wasn’t going to start sniffing out ZPMs or hidden Ancient weaponry or detailed instructions on how to kill a Wraith with a common household item. A pen, for instance.</blockquote> ➤ http://archiveofourown.org/works/483010

➤ the Holmes On Homes au

<blockquote>In the vein of Bruce Coville's 'Am I Blue?' the entire queer population of any fandom is magically outed (actual blueness optional). How do they deal with this/how does the focal character respond to the knowledge that they're not alone?</blockquote>

<blockquote>When he disobeys orders, Major Sheppard is given a dead-end assignment in the tiny village of Durness... home to bitter ex-sapper Mr. McKay. Steampunk AU</blockquote>

➤ in which Teyla has a symbolic dream, and does what she can to fix Rodney, John, and Ronon. ➤ Lovely teamy fic as well as Rodney/John. (EPIC bit with Teyla asking Caldwell about DADT)

➤ sort of AMTDI, and sort of touch-starved-ness, and lack of communication, and adorableness

➤ ponyplay (but not about sex, really), plus John's total inability to talk about stuff to do with feeeelings.
