SGA fans, once you're done chortling could you please dole out the fic?

Am I the only one who finds LJ's new layout frightening?

Okay, I can stop stalling now and confess: I have a steaming pile of crow to eat, with a side order of lightly seasoned hat (fleece cap, thanks for asking).

I just spent two days reading SGA (Stargate Atlantis) fic. I was late for class becausse I couldn't tear myself away from astolat's A Beautiful Lifetime Event and I've already read Oblivious twice. I only remember the names of those two stories because:

a) they're already favorites, and
b) I'd finally slowed down in my insatiable fic-gorging long enough to read the titles.

I have fallen helplessly for Rodney McKay. With a side order of Sheppard. I confess, I've been (shame faced) watching the show (first season) on Saturday nights, just to get another glimpse of McKayness.

For three weeks.

But I was sure I could quit any time. Absolutely positive. After all, hadn't I pointed out that the production values were weak, the acting largely laughable, and... oh hell.

I have a great idea though. I'm sure I can break my addiction by reading lots of McKay/Sheppard fic (shut up, you know it'll work and if it doesn't, think of the benefits!).

Fandom, Stargaters, rec me your favorite McKay/Shep fics as a form of, uh, immersion/aversion therapy. Yeah, that's what it is.

reading lots of McKay/Sheppard fic

*is bleary eyed and stressed* It totally doesn't work, the more you read, the harder you need it, to the point it's all you think about, and you sit there trying to figure a way to justify all this fic you are reading, thinking "Could I cite this as a source? can I work stargate into my next essay? can I use David Hewlett's arms as an example in something?" And then you. Just. Get. Worse.

Happily!

And McKay is hot, in an almost inexplicable way, but still very very very hot. Liek WHOA!

As for recs, there are just WAY TOO MANY so I'll point you to

Oh danke, and yes, it doesn't work but I'll go for a plausible excuse to keep reading any day.

Or implausible, even.

I can't explain it except that brillance and neurosis must be a turn on. *joins the Sacred Cult of Rodney -- look, we already have techno-babble*
