LINKDING

<blockquote>Something gives John's cock magical healing powers. Carson presses him into service.</blockquote> ➤ of course sga has a fic that takes the magical healing cock trope and writes it with a straight face, this is amazing

<blockquote>"What's your name?" "Second Lieutenant John Sheppard, United States Air Force." He only needs to say it a few more times to make it seem real. Maybe a few more thousand times, just to be safe. Scottish Guy blinks. "What's today's date?" He frowns. It's a little hard to come up with. "The 27th?" "And where are you?" "The Academy, I think," he squints around at the big, high-ceilinged room full of beds and weird-looking equipment, "except this doesn't look like the cadet clinic." The guy sighs and taps at his cheek. John notices he's wearing some kind of slim earpiece. "Doctor Weir," he says, "we may have a small problem."</blockquote>

<blockquote>The memorable vacation Miko had at Lake Louise.</blockquote> ➤ time-traveled older married couple Rodney and Teyla meet bb!Miko. ➤ From Miko's perspective, so we never actually find out the explanation for what's up with the time travel and so forth, and that works really very well.

<blockquote>Teyla had heard an Atlantian aphorism that seemed to express it: "I wouldn't throw him out of bed."</blockquote> ➤ apparently I never bookmarked this one? okay. ➤ endgame ship is teyla/ronon and rodney/john but still lovely teamfeels all the way

<blockquote>The English major at home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In a BDSM world, John meets Teyla at a secret underground vanilla club. Or: What does kink look like in a culture where what we'd call kink is standard practice?</blockquote>

<blockquote>John discovers something about his sexuality. Hint: the working title was "John likes women who tie him up and knock him around."</blockquote>

<blockquote>"They all got to have fun. That was what mattered. Right?</blockquote> ➤ In which John wants more than he has ➤ (what he has: regular sex with two people he loves, but who don't love him except as a friend)

➤ Jeannie and Kaleb exploring a consensual rape fantasy

➤ late at night, in the infirmary.

➤ Jack, on Atlantis through Torchwood.

➤ does what it says on the tin

➤ in which Rodney from our universe ends up in another one where John is female and her Rodney is a creepy-stalker ex.

➤ MtF!John

➤ An interesting exploration of Jennifer's feelings of having been a Hive ship. ➤ (yes, tentacle-time)

➤ in which Rodney is fatherish in his own way to Torren.

➤ The Atlanteans were really very lucky that the first planet they visited was so nice. What if the Athosians were Wraith-worshippers instead? They'd be so screwed....

➤ AU/canon crossover. Our Rodney and John end up in a next-door universe where an always-female McKay is pregnant and together with John.

➤ missing scene from "Be All My Sins Remember'd". ➤ Rodney's awkward thoughts during Fran's last half-hour or so. Sweet and spiteful.

➤ creepy creepy sentient Atlantis!

➤ R had settled for second best with Jennifer and Jennifer did the same with him

<blockquote>Harlequin AU (no Stargate). Kaleb's long gone, Jeannie's got a career, Madison has problems, Rodney's got Inner Power!, and Sheppard. . . is pretty much the same.</blockquote> ➤ (In which Sheppard is trans)

<blockquote>It had changed so gradually with Jennifer, was the thing. Rodney couldn’t pick a moment when he’d felt the balance shift from “this is fucking awesome” to “wow, I’m really middle-aged”.</blockquote>

<blockquote>linaerys has this theory about John's divorce. This is the story of that theory.</blockquote>

<blockquote> "What could the queen of so many hives possibly need from me?" "You know that I made this peace," she said. "It is my will that restrains the Wraith and keeps them to these territories, away from the human settlements. It is my decision that Michael and his scientists research other sources of food than human life. Without me, the Wraith would break apart again. There would be war again."</boockquote>

<blockquote>John's in love, but Teyla and Rodney are the ones acting strange. </blockquote>

<blockquote>Summary: "What about you and John? Rodney, I'd have to be blind not to—not to—you know." Authors Note: Emotions are complicated, and not everything gets to be cut and dry and neat and painless. Where would the fun in that be?</blockquote> https://web.archive.org/web/20090321183220/http://smiley.zonezine.net/html/91902.html

<blockquote>Rodney quickly added this new, annoying quirk of programming to his mental list of 'Why the Ancients Were Total Assholes.' It was, he agreed, handy to travel the galaxy by stargate and understand everything that was said – it certainly made it easier for Sheppard to offend the local leaders' daughters, and enabled the team to negotiate for imak root without mastering the (alleged) seventeen syllables of 'imak' in native Hi'ichga'akian. But why the hell couldn't they turn the damn function off? "It is quite all right, Rodney," Teyla said (or did she?, Rodney wondered bitterly), laying a hand on his arm. "I am touched by the gesture, but it is not necessary that you learn Athosian for my sake. Or Kagaan's."</blockquote>

<blockquote>A/N: When I first saw the dating challenge prompt, I realized I've written two slash fics recently that specifically dealt with John and Rodney dating. So, I decided to go in the completely opposite directions and approach the Sheppard and McKay friendship and the impacts their het relationships have on it. So even though there is a relationship at the center of the story, that's not really what the story is about. The fic springs from a canon moment in Sunday and goes several years into the future from there. So, you can think of it as a futurefic, a what-if scenario, and if you really, really squint and are so inclined, you can read it as pre-slash. Special thanks as always to Koschka for the beta. Summary: What if Rodney really did ask Katie Brown to marry him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Life, she thought, was too short for wondering, never knowing; too short to live in the imagination rather than living in the world.</blockquote>
