Dating Dominoes by WonkyElk (T)
Mar. 31st, 2026 09:53 pmsgatazmy posting in stargateficrecTitle: Dating Dominoes
Rec Category: Humor
Warnings: None
Characters: Teyla Emmagan, Rodney McKay, John Sheppard
Relationships: Teyla Emmagan & Rodney McKay, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Laura Cadman/Ronon Dex
Categories: Slash, het, humor
Word Count: 3765
Author's Journal:wonkyelk
Author's Website on AO3
Link: Dating Dominoes
Author Summary: Teyla didn’t often lose her head. As a leader of her people, and an Ambassador for Atlantis, it was required of her to be calm, diplomatic and rational.
But, well. Everyone has their moments.
Why this must be read: It's a fun short story. WonkyElk always write in a whimsical, fun style. I especially like her Teyla in this and how she makes an impulsive decision to pretend she is dating Rodney to appease an Aunt-like character. I love how Rodney just decides to go along with it, with actually no context. John's jealous. It's a fun feelings admission story with a lot of chaos and silliness.

Cold As Ice by NotTasha (T)

Categories: gen, humor, whump
Warnings: None (although it is in its nature political if that bothers you)
Words: 20,256
Author's Journal:nottasha
Author's Website on AO3
Link: Cold as Ice
Author's Summary: The SGA team explore an icy planet, looking for a secret underground lab. It’s icy cold place and things go badly from the start. The team gets separated - McKay and Sheppard fall into a cave, while Ronon and Teyla need to deal with some troublesome characters.
Why this must be read: This story is strange and zany. It starts out as a whump fic with the challenge "F Ice" and it does make a caricature of the security force. NotTasha writes in the format of write 15 minutes at a time and to not worry where the story goes. So by the end, the story goes off the rails in the best ways. There is a singing mechanical duck creature that infuriates McKay with its singing. It was so much fun to just get to laugh and laugh with this story that started out so whumptastic.

The Bones in the Sarcophagus, by sg_wonderland (G)

Author's Summary:
A sabbatical from SG-1 lands Daniel in the middle of a murder mystery.
Why This Must Be Read:
This is more fun if you know "Bones" but the author gives you enough to work with in her notes.
Brennan helps Daniel with a mysterious sarcophagus, and, of course, the usual Daniel Jackson chaos happens. So Jack has to come in and make sure his archeologist is okay. The mystery is kind of cute, in the end, and Daniel and Brennan bond over their hockey-loving boyfriends.
Just a fun read!

A Matter of Death and Life (by Rheanna) (Gen)

Rec Category: John Sheppard
Characters: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex, Jennifer Keller, Marshall Sumner, Aiden Ford, Carson Beckett, Clone Carson Beckett, Elizabeth Weir
Categories: M/M
Words: 24,853
Warnings: no AO3 warnings apply
Author on DW:rheanna
Author's Website: rheanna on AO3
Link: A Matter of Death and Life on AO3
Why This Must Be Read: John does something heroic again when Atlantis is in San Francisco harbour after season five. It should kill him, but, inexplicably, it doesn't. Afterwards, there's something increasingly wrong with his brain. This plays out medically and through hallucinations (or are they?) in which John encounters a series of dead friends (and a commanding officer), and is also kind of on trial, having to make a case as to whether he should be allowed to live or not. Along the way, John and Rodney also find each other. A tour de force - gripping, profound, and with wonderful characterisations of John and Rodney, in particular. Don't miss it.

"Daniel's Dead, Sir."
Mar. 28th, 2026 05:39 pmmagnavox_23Daniel's third 'death' is an alien mind whammy for the rest of SG-1 which causes a lack of interest in beer, cars to be in the way of hockey sticks, and yet another conversation on retirement... whilst still in season one... Meanwhile Daniel is sleeping with the fishes. Aquatic Tuplo wants Daniel to find his girlfriend four thousand years in the past, but Danny done forgot his Tardis, so they have to go digging around in his head for answers. Too bad he didn't think to catch an actual goa'uld, what with the genetic memory and all... After a little digging in Sam's head also, the team head back to witness Daniel doing his little bond girl strut from the ocean. MOIST!

A Good Enough Timeline by Tazmy (T)

Link Fic: A Good Enough Timeline
Link Podfic: mp3
Author's summary: Years after Elizabeth stepped through the gate to her demise, Atlantis is a thriving city in a hopeful future. Rodney, however, still struggles with Elizabeth’s loss and his role in her death. He’s determined to go back and save her.
But at what point does he stop trying to change the timeline and accept the one he’s in? Can John convince him before it's too late?
Why This Must Be Read: The emotional aftermath of losing Elizabeth, and Rodney's stubborn, even desperate attempt to set things right—risking everything, struggling with John over desire and reality, their relationship on the line—almost broke my heart.
It’s written with so much love for Rodney and John, with such thoughtfulness and insight—it offers you a new perspective and makes you really reflect on the deeper nature of life and fate, of right and wrong.
This isn't about a lighthearted fix-it or an easy way out, but a beautiful ode to conviction and dedication, hopes and boundaries, denial and acceptance, friendship and love.
Don't miss out on it!
There's also a wonderful podfic of this fic, beautifully read by Tazmy herself. I add the link here too.
