Unfortunately, John and Rodney are John and Rodney, so that's just not happening. Maybe ritualized alien enhanced interrogation techniques might help?

The steep, twisting staircase looked like Everest, but Ronon wrapped a strong arm around John and half-lifted him up each step, his easy intimacy and softness as ever confounding John as much as it warmed him.

Soulmates are a dieing practice. Many on Earth not caring about some random mark they were born with. Why wait around for that one special person when the stranger standing next to you is right there. You would never have to spend a lifetime looking for "the one" when anyone would do.

John Sheppard is a romantic at heart but gave up on the thought of love long before stepping through the Stargate.

Dr. Rodney McKay scuffed at the idea that some unknown mystical Force said he would have a soulmate. Especially since he was lucky if a girlfriend lasted six months.

Dr. Radek Zelenka knew he had a soulmate but never believed they would actually meet.

Evan Lorne spent his whole childhood dreaming of his soulmate. The dream always changes, growing with Evan. But his dreams never came close to the real deal.

Sheppard stuck in a rebooting Atlantis

Posted by marthaj77

https://sgastoryfinders.livejournal.com/4246755.html

I'd love some help identifying this fic, please. For some reason, possibly sabotage, everyone needs to evacuate Atlantis while it reboots. I think John is attacked and hidden somewhere by his attacker (possibly saboteur?) so that when everyone leaves he's stuck there. No-one can get in or out for several days while the reboot happens and he's in danger of freezing to death, running out of food etc.

Anyone recognise this? It's driving me nuts! Any help would be gratefully received!

Many thanks to

cassiope25,

goddess47,

nuh_s: Crossover

Reccers, you all have access and can start posting at any time. Remember that you have committed yourself to reccing at least two fics over the course of the month, although of course we will be happy with more. Feel free to use the copy-and-paste template from the reccer's FAQ for your convenience.

Code deploy happening shortly

Per the dw_news post regarding the MS/TN blocks, we are doing a small code push shortly in order to get the code live. As per usual, please let us know if you see anything wonky.

There is some code cleanup we've been doing that is going out with this push but I don't think there is any new/reworked functionality, so it should be pretty invisible if all goes well.

Need Help Finding A Rodney Whump Fanfic.

Posted by curlywurly12

https://sgastoryfinders.livejournal.com/4246324.html

Hi everyone,

So, I hope I'm posting in the right place. As the title suggests, I really need help with finding a particular story that is frustrating me to no end. It features Rodney getting unknowingly injured (shot or shrapnel) in the back, on an off-world mission.

I can barely remember the details but, there's a mad dash to the jumper because either Teyla or John is injured (in the leg?) and Rodney is oblivious to his own peril, only complaining of back pain. He has to fly everyone back to Atlantis in the jumper but is overlooked during the medical frenzy in the jumper bay and is left behind as Carson rushes everyone out to the infirmary.

Rodney passes out on the console, still sitting in the pilot seat until he's later found (by John, I think) in hypovolemic shock. That's all I can remember. If I'm honest, it's probably a long shot but it's driving me nuts trying to hunt it down. Any help would be wonderful! 😊

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)

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.
