bwa-ha-ha-ha!! Another one bites the dust.

astolat's stuff is here (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/#Stargate:%20Atlantis), she pretty much Rules All Things.

I'm taking the easy way out and reccing everything that resonant8 (read "Advantage"), cesperanza ("Things to do in Denver when you're Dead"), and astolat ("Time in a Bottle") have written. They even have webpages up with everything in HTML for ease of downloading -- check their user info for the URLs.

I have some favorites in a folder, but it is terribly incomplete. Still, a partial list of gen, some PG13 slash, and some higher rated slash of the Sheppard/McKay variety:

Stories by resonant8 are dependably good. "Advantage" is a favorite.

Artistry in Chaos (http://mandysbitch.livejournal.com/211194.html?page=1) by mandysbitch features an ubersmart, never silly, Rodney, which I love.

"Daemonology" by trinityofone is a *brilliant* story using the His Dark Materials universe feature of daemon's for the characters that gives great insight into them, I think. Don't stop there -- trinityofone has produced many, many other terrific SGA stories.

I love all minnow1212's stories, but "Face Value" is my favorite.

"Freedom's Just Another Thing for Nothing Left to Lose" by synedochic is one of the most amazing stories I've ever read about love and loss… and academia. Just a gorgeous Rodney story.

"Hunting Parties" and its sequel "Consequences" by ltlj (under the name Victoria Custer) is one of my very favorite h/c stories ever. It's a serious story, but it makes me laugh because it all revolves around John, who can't quite figure out why people left and right are hot for him -- they just are. It's a bit like fandom, in that way. Also, one of my favorite OFCs ever is in this.

Hunting Parties leads into (sort of) the "Retrograde" series by ltlj (Retrograde, Recovery, Movie Night, Expatriate, Vegas), just an amazing story about what would happen if the original Atlantis team was stranded for 3 years, not 1. It's a sheer pleasure to read. And re-read. It's rather John-centric, though her Rodney is very good.

"No Refunds or Exchanges" by astolat is perhaps my favorite of the Harlequin-inspired stories in the fandom. This one is about an arranged marriage. *g*

Other astolat favorites: "Oblivious" and "Time in a Bottle," which are both all about not knowing you wanted until you get it and "Transcendental," which is smoking and complex and terrific.

"Intersections," by kaneko and "Your Inevitable Unhappy Ending," by helenish are bothe smart and hot.

"Recognized None but the Southern Cross" by minervacat is simply beautiful.

"Road to Nevada" by lamardeuse is another nifty AU, set in the lead up to WWII.

"Small Primes and Square Roots" by liviapenn is another AU, and possibly the only domestic-oriented fic I've found that I really like. It features beautiful, aching *yearning*, one of my favorite things in any story.

cesperanza's "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead" is hugely fun. And hot.

For a good time stories that are well-written, sexy and just a hoot, see: "Once Upon a Furry Octopus" by skoosiepants, "Where Did All the Physics Go?" by amireal and "Zelenka's Still" by auburnnothenna

And oy, there's more. So much more, but I am not nearly as organized as I should be. And sorry about the lack of links -- hopefully the LJ name links will point the way.

It's funny, I know more people who got sucked into this fandom fic-first, rather than show-first. There is *so* much good stuff out there, it's a delightful wallow when you first dive in.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the catch! I missed the S1 part of the request. eep.

I could totally be persuaded to write in this fandom.
BEST. NEWS. EVER.

Small Primes and Square Roots (http://liviapenn.livejournal.com/367325.html) by liviapenn is a great Dad!Rodney story

An Affair to Remember - McShep Style (http://tiranog.southroad.com/SGA/Affair.htm) by tiranog - A wonderfully schmoopy re-telling of the classic

The Ratio of Burning (http://stillane.livejournal.com/17723.html) by stillane - so heartbreakingly good

Care in the Holding (http://www.stickymanpress.mediawood.net/careintheholding.html) by laceymcbain - John is teaching Rodney how to shoot

Already got mentioned before, but kaneko's Intersections (http://www.anyroad.org/kaneko/intersections.html) is a kinda little bit AU and the best thing I've read the whole MONTH.

I read through all of out_there's stuff last night when I was supposed to sleep to be able to get up today on 8. It's 1P.M., good morning and well, that's saying something.

Also, everything by lilysaid, especially Visiting Hours" (http://www.improvidence.net/visiting_hours.html). Even the RPS is good.

nixa_jane is also pretty good.

And many many more ♥.

I don't know whether any of these will be unfamiliar to you; in fact, I feel like a bit of a tool for reccing some of these, as they're so well-known, but just in case:

A Beautiful Lifetime Event (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/stargate/lifetime_event.html)

I couldn't rec most of their stuff, as it's mostly S2, but Skoosiepants and Trinityofone are brilliant writers you should check out when you're through S2.

Oh, you have netted some very good recs already, I see. SGA is quite easy to follow along with -- the sga_newsletter is fantastic, and if you use del.icio.us at all, you can actually look at the mckay/sheppard tag (http://del.icio.us/tag/mckay/sheppard) and find out both what is very new and popular, and often hit on some classics that you missed. These are both better techniques for when you're caught up, though, both to fandom and to the end of S2.

Oh, and all my recs are here (http://del.icio.us/murklins/recommended%2Bfanfiction%2Bstargateatlantis) (because I am a delicious addict). Not really separated out into S1 and S2, though, so maybe not helpful to you. Only 44 there, anyway -- I didn't rec anythign at all when I started reading in SGA, just glutted myself wihtout pause for reflection.

I don't separate them by season, but I have a lot of SGA recs here
http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=meret&keyword=Recs&filter=all
starting on 4/27/06.

Woohoo! A convert! Welcome to the addiction. *g*

I highly recommend the Harlequin challenge stories (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_flashfic/tag/harlequin+challenge) from sga_flashfic. It's the best crack ever! Of these stories I especially enjoyed:

The Blade
Animal Husbandry
The Physicist Bride
The Hostage Major
He's Having Her Baby (by Pru, so you've probably already read it)
A Royal Deception
The Convenient Husband (possibly my favorite one of all!)
No Refunds or Exchanges (okay, maybe *this* is my favorite!)

Also, I highly recommend the stories coming out of reel_sga, based on classic movies. Here's a link to the master list (http://community.livejournal.com/reel_sga/18219.html#cutid1). I especially loved:

Entanglement
Without Love
Eighty Days Give or Take
The Sound of Science (a la The Sound of Music, priceless!)
Lie to Me
Oo-De-Lally (a la Robin Hood, also priceless!)
The Prisoner of Zenda

Plus, some other stories that look great that I just haven't had the chance to read yet. Enjoy!

Everything with *** are my particular favorites. *g* Um, you might have to check the author warnings, but I'm pretty sure they're all S1. I--think.
