| Title: No Refunds or Exchanges by astolatFandom: Stargate AtlantisPairing: Rodney/JohnCategories: AU, angst, humor, virgin (to gay sex), fluff, favoriteLength: ~10,000 wordsWarnings: n/aReview:Rodney McKay's apartment on Atlantis is an absolute mess and Jeannie *refuses* to come play maid. What other option is there than a mail-order bride? What he gets is John Sheppard. (AU, obviously.)This is one of my most reliable go-to fics if I need a pick me up. Astolat's dialogue sparkles, as always, and the story is the perfect length to sustain the ridiculous (and utterly awesome) plot. I especially love the way that she manages to convey John's thoughts even though the story is from Rodney's POV (and Rodney, himself, is clueless).Fluffy and fun with just enough angst to keep things interesting, this is one of my favorite SGA fics of all time.No Refunds or ExchangesTags:*favorites, fandom: stargate atlantis, genre: angst, genre: au, genre: fluff, genre: humor, genre: virgin, length: 5000-15000 words, pairing: slash, rating: nc-17 Title: SnaG-22 by SlybrarianFandom: Supernatural/Stargate Atlantis/Stargate SG-1Pairing: GenCategories: Humor, crack, crossover, actionLength: 62,000 wordsWarnings: n/aReview:The continuing mis-adventures of SG-22, which is comprised of Evan Lorne (forcibly ejected from Atlantis by its original owners), Neill Jackson (smart-ass clone), and the Winchester brothers (semi-press-ganged civilians).I'm a sucker for stories that buck fandom trends, which makes this the perfect Supernatural story for for me. Unlike every other long Supernatural story I've ever tried this fic is light and funny and just plain old fun to read. While the story does get a bit serious at times, the overall feel is one of a romp through the galaxy, leaving a string of demolished (uninhabited) worlds in its wake (thanks, Dean!) As a bonus, you also get a couple of surprise cameos.On the Stargate side of things, I absolutely adore fics that heavily feature Jack's clone and this is one of the best. Neill Jackson is snarky, sly, and very intelligent and he gets on with the Winchester brothers beautifully, whether he's sharing his glee for blowing shit up with Dean or playing gay with Sam.Though that does bring me to one quibble: the whole Sam/Neill thing goes nowhere, which is disappointing (and, honestly, inexplicable) considering how much that was built up throughout the fic. At first I thought that was something that would be addressed in the sequel (when I realized this was part of a series), but it turns out the other 15 stories in the series all feature Sheppard and Mitchell (?) and appear to have nothing whatsoever to do with this fic. Here they are if you're interested (no promises on quality - I haven't read them).Still, flopping romances aside, this is a great read, especially if you're in the mood for something funny, light, and exciting.SnaG-22Tags:fandom: stargate atlantis, fandom: stargate sg-1, fandom: supernatural, genre: action, genre: crack, genre: crossover, genre: humor, length: 50000-100000 words, pairing: gen, rating: pg-13 Title: Ordinary Life by Shalott and SperanzaFandom: Stargate: AtlantisPairing: McKay/SheppardCategories: action, dramaLength: 20,200 wordsWarnings: n/aReview:On their first trip back to Earth, Rodney picks up a cushy consulting gig and John tails along for the free perks. Pity things don't go quite to plan.I don't read much SGA fic these days, but I'm making my way through my old possible recs folder and came up with this fun first-time fic, full of action and humor and John in a speedo. It's a joint venture by Shalott (aka astolat) and Speranza, so you know it's well-written and the characters are vividly drawn. Mix in some some light-hearted relationship sorta-angst (seriously, I almost gave this a 'fluff' tag), John and Rodney being treated to lots of exotic and upscale goodies, and an action-packed climax and you have a light but very enjoyable and satisfying read.Ordinary LifeTags:fandom: stargate atlantis, genre: action, genre: drama, length: 15000-30000 words, pairing: slash, rating: nc-17 Top of
