Come and Join the Dance by Mira (G)

Show: SGA

Rec Category: Rodney McKay
Characters: Rodney McKay, Teyla Emmagan, John Sheppard, Ronon Dex, Halling, OCs
Pairings: Rodney/Teyla
Categories: het, hurt/comfort, permanent injury
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, brief mention of a suicide (minor OC)
Words: 12,603
Author's Journal: n/a
Author's Website: Mira on AO3
Link: Come and Join the Dance

Author’s summary: "Any child would be lucky to have you as a father, Rodney."

Why This Must Be Read:This deeply emotional, sensitively written story by Mira from 2007 revolves around Rodney, who has to cope with a life-changing, permanent injury and leaves Atlantis to live with the Athosians. It’s about acceptance and shifting priorities—unwavering friendship and compassion. With a baby and an unexpected relationship, it’s a compelling story of resilience, hope, and love. The fic offers a wonderful insight into Rodney and makes the Rodney/Teyla pairing feel both beautiful and believable. It’s a truly wonderful read—you shouldn’t miss it.

And just a short note: the author's rating is Gen, but I’d actually rate it Explicit for the final part of the story—and it's written amazingly! ;)

One thing Ronon's tattoo doesn't mean (by Liviapenn) (Teen)

Shows: SGA
Rec Category: Ronon Dex
Characters: Ronon Dex, Original characters
Categories: Gen
Words: 1285
Warnings: author chose not to warn, but there's nothing likely to be triggering.
Author on DW: [personal profile] liviapenn
Author's Website: Liviapenn on AO3
Link: One thing Ronon's tattoo doesn't mean on AO3
Why This Must Be Read: This fic explores a possible take on Ronon's past in which he was a troubled teen on Sateda, looking at why he joined the militia. It's an unusual view of Ronon's character and a plausible backstory idea. I love worldbuilding fics that explore Satedan culture and this is concise and hard-hitting - really good.

What Kind of Man by sablecain (writemeastory85) (G)

Show: SGA

Rec Category: Rodney McKay
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Elizabeth Weir, Carson Beckett
Pairings: Rodney & John
Categories: gen, hurt/comfort, episode related, post-episode: s01e10/11 The Storm/The Eye
Warnings: Creator chose not to use warnings
Words: 5,594
Author's Journal: sablecain on ffnet
Author's Website: sablecain(writemeastory85) on AO3
Link: What Kind of Man

Author’s summary: Tag to "The Storm" and "The Eye"- in the aftermath of Kolya's invasion- McKay isn't dealing very well.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a wonderful coda to the episode “The Storm / The Eye”, written by sabelcain back in the early SGA years and recently migrated to AO3. It focuses on Rodney’s ordeal and the unsettling ending in the gateroom. The way the fic makes Rodney’s pain and guilt palpable is deeply touching, and it’s wonderful to witness how John approaches him—gently yet effectively dismantling Rodney’s conviction that he’s weak and useless.
This fic gives you the sensitive ending the episode didn’t and leaves you with an affectionate smile on your face.

Pairings: Daniel Jackson & Fred
Categories: Gen, Episode-Related, Episode: Holiday, hurt/comfort

Why This Must Be Read: Holiday left me with a burning need to have Fred and Daniel meet, and Amanda Bankier has created that very concept! In another sort of holiday, "Giving Thanks" shows Fred recognizing Daniel on Thanksgiving. The pair talk.

How Life Turns Out, by LRKulp (G)

Show: SG-1, The Sentinel

Rec Category: Jack O'Neill
Characters:Pairings: none
Categories: gen, AU, different first meeting, first person, part of a series
Warnings: canon-typical violence
Word Count: 3200 for this fic (19,000 for the series)
Author on DW: none found
Author's Website: AO3 Profile
Link: How Life Turns Out


Author's Summary:

An alternate universe where Jim and Blair meet shortly after Jim gets back from Peru and Blair gets back from an SG mission.

Why This Must Be Read:

A fun set of stories that are more Sentinel than SG-1, but a very different first meeting for Jim and Blair, aided by Jack and Daniel. Told in alternating, first person POV, it shows Jim and Blair's experiences before and after they meet, aided by the SGC.

There are four stories in the series; the first two include the SGC but the last two are pure Sentinel fic. But they are relatively short and a good story!
