Some Stargate Altantis fan fiction recommendations (gen)

[wraithfodder]

Getting my list of Stargate Atlantis fan fiction stories I enjoy (mostly Sheppard whump, what can I say?) as listed in entry (http://wraithfodder.livejournal.com/345802.html) Okay, since I can’t post it here due to size (it’s a Word document, 31 pages landscape in table format), drop me an email at wraithfodder at gmail.com and I think I’ll be shipping it to anyone interested this weekend. Oh, it’s about 1,100kb in size too if that makes a difference.

 

Anyway, some recs as I did pause to do some reading…. All are gen.

Ask Me No Questions by T’Pring

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5054088/1/Ask_Me_No_Questions

Atlantis is on Earth, but that doesn’t stop Sheppard from getting into trouble when he has to work with his ex-wife. Whump ensues. I like how T’Pring delves into the relationship and what went wrong with it.

 

The Light of Compassion by Vain-Glorious

http://vain-glorious.livejournal.com/18375.html

A year after the events of 5X01 "Search and Rescue", tragedy strikes Atlantis. First, this is a dark fiction. There is death, and there’s no miraculous save for those who perish. I don’t mind deathfic if it’s done well, and there’s plenty of Sheppard angst until practically the last page.

 

Wit’s End by Greyius

http://community.livejournal.com/sga_genficathon/33269.html

The team is being pursued by bad guys, and one of their team is not well. It’s not Sheppard whump (gasp, you say) but McKay whump, and it’s done in an interesting manner from Rodney’s point of view.

 

Perchance to Dream by Everybetty

http://everybetty.livejournal.com/20759.html

Sheppard’s ATA dream brought him to Atlantis, and now it may be the death of him.  What I enjoyed about this fiction, besides the increasing whump, was the team aspect of it. Everybody pulling together as John quickly deteriorates.

 

Desperation by Kristen999

http://kristen999.livejournal.com/56917.html

Wow, not sure how I missed this as it was penned in ’07, but Sheppard’s bleeding out and Rodney is all that stands between rescue and certain death when one of their own is the enemy. I love stories where Rodney does find the extra gumption to do what’s necessary (and not drop clips of bullets like he did in the Siege) ;)

 

Darkest Before Dawn by Wildcat88

http://community.livejournal.com/sga_genficathon/51903.html

A tragic off-world mission rocks Atlantis and shatters Sheppard. Struggling to pull the pieces together and move forward, he discovers he has one chance to set everything right. Yes, there’s death, but remember, Sheppard has a chance to set things right, so you can read ahead through. Not so much physical whump as angst-angst-angst J

 

The Black Lake by Tipper

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5097362/1/

Things go belly up (because they always go belly up) on a rescue mission to save an SGA team stuck deep underground and running out of air. Team fic, with Keller along for the ride. Bugs, freezing water and more. I only wish the writers could have made Keller this good on the show. Why do fanfic writers do a better job? And yes, we’ve got some lovely whump.

 

And that’s about it, cuz it’s time to get some sleep. Anyway, I enjoyed all these stories, so hope you do as well. Man, gotta get back to writing myself.

Thanks for these. I love the stories where it delves into the characters pasts, it sketches them out like the show never really bothered to.

I only wish the writers could have made Keller this good on the show.

Fanfic has made me realise that the potential for Keller to be a fabulous character was there, they just dropped the ball big time on the show itself (ymmv).

I've seen some wonderful portrayals of Keller in fanfic and then I like the character, until I turn on SGA and watch her trip and sprain her ankle and WHINE. Argh.

Did you get the email I sent you about sending me the full list?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yup, and others~ gotta get mailing.

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the heads up...can't wait to see what other fics are on it.

[penfold-x.livejournal.com]

Thanks for posting--I couldn't keep up in the panel.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Neither could I and I have to doublecheck the story titles I got at the con too!

[melandune.livejournal.com]

I'm unsure if you got my email about sending me the full list, so I'm commenting here just in case the email fell through the cracks.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I just checked my gmail and choked on all the mail piled up there. Everytime someone follows me on twitter, I get a notice. i didn't realize! So, culled those all out and I think I sent you the list. If not, resend email as I've deleted all the twitter stuff. Sorry about that!

[melandune.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I figured that my email had somehow disappeared. But I did get the mail, so all is good now that I've got lots and lots of ficrecs to plow through. :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

and now i have to play catch up on about 2 mnths worth of fanfic!
