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.

Er, I'm sorry, I'm not particularly fond of those fics. Not my thing. But astolat is a lovely, lovely writer.

There's been a bit of a divide in the fandom over characterizations, and discussions got rather heated in the past. It's a long story.

I did like Minnow's "Face Value" a great deal - I don't have the link for it here but I can dig it up if you need to. But I'm sure you've read that already! I think you've probably found all the really good, long, plotty fics, especially if you've been checking out people's rec pages. But if I can think of any more I'd be happy to send you some!

*perks up brightly* Oh? What are the two sides of the characterization issue?

I'm sure I can find the link to Face Value on my own, but since Face Value isn't on any of the rec lists I've plundered so far, there may be a risk that -- tragically -- I'm only getting one side of the characterization spectrum.

Also, I'm very, very curious.
