lunabee34The Return to Normalcy by Cypher; John/Rodney; Adult
This fic was written for Big Bang and so is accordingly epic. It's based on the premise that once the Ancients show back up in "The Return," they take over Atlantis for good. John and Rodney and the other expedition members have to learn to live on Earth again. I absolutely adore stories where its time in Pegasus leaves the expedition unable to cope with living in the Milky Way--doors that don't open with a thought, the loss of a city that feels alive. In this fic, John and Rodney and the others are misfits who must deal with an SGC who is decidedly less than impressed with them. This is about the bittersweetness of making the best of what life has dealt you.

Ronon and Rodney bond over music and it is lovely. I adore the narrative structure here, with each section's title named for a note in the Satedan musical scale. The scale itself is patterned after the phases of the moon and is an incredibly beautiful invention on the author's part. Also, Ronon pees on a guy for Rodney's honor. Really doesn't get much better than that, folks.
Sex Like Math by Jane St. Clair; Rodney/Radek; Adult
This is just a vignette really but it's so lovely. This is exactly how the scientists are doing it. *loves*
Already Seen byin_wintertime; Rodney-centric gen; PG-13
Anybody else wonder what the Replicators made Rodney see when the team was captured? Rodney says he was tortured but offers no other information. This fic is a chilling and incredibly clever look at what might have happened to Rodney and the ending--its ambiguity, its horror--will stay with you for a long, long time.
Here is No Water byfrostfire; Sheppard/Cameron Mitchell; Adult
This fic renders me practically speechless. It's so perfect, so sharp, so hurty, so gloriously fucked in all the best senses of that word. I can't imagine any of you reading this and not being blown the hell away. And it's right there at the beginning, first report after a year-long hiatus. Colonel Marshall Sumner dead, Major John Sheppard in command. Cameron blinks at the report for a second or two, but the words don't change. And for some eternal moment, he's caught between no wonder they nearly died forty-seven different times and no wonder they're all still alive.
