Aegis by Leah and springwoof | 90k, e, mcshep The Ancients' genes didn't just confer the power to activate their technology. For ten percent of Earth's population, like John Sheppard, the ATA gene also gave them Gifts: special abilities that made them admired, envied, and feared. Sheppard was a Charmer, one of the feared ones, whose particular Gift let him create faith whenever he needed to be trusted or believed. But Sheppard didn't trust himself not to destroy what he loved most. And somewhere along the line, amid the terror and chaos of the Expedition's first year in the Pegasus Galaxy, what Sheppard loved most had become Rodney McKay. McKay didn't trust anyone. As soon as you started trusting people, you started counting on them, depending on them, and that was when you became vulnerable. And vulnerable things didn't survive. So just when, exactly, had he started trusting Sheppard? And what was going to happen, now that he did? Out of Nowhere by DraconisWing24441 | 74k, m, mcshep Rodney is en route to a scientific conference where he’s supposed to present his new groundbreaking research when, to his horror, he winds up stuck in a small town in the middle of Wyoming after a snow storm sends his rental car into a tree. John winds up playing host to the prickly scientist while his car is getting fixed and finds himself drawn to Rodney despite himself. Of course, the course of true love never did run smooth and once they succumb to their mutual attractions, a rift occurs that may separate them forever . . . unless they’re willing to put aside their fears and risk their hearts.

if you want to kiss the sky by siegeofangels | 8k, e, john / various Warning: John fucks a lot of people, willingly but not necessarily happily. Warning: Kind of meta. Bridges by busaikko | 52k, e, rodney / john Engineer Rodney McKay went to North Carolina's Crystal Coast to help his sister design a series of bridges. He hoped to rebuild his career following a professional disaster; he didn't expect to be drawn into the small community of Athos Island, where he found friendship and perhaps something more with helicopter pilot John Sheppard. But when Rodney tries to learn more about John's past, what he discovers might tear them apart. (non-Stargate AU)

Exit Wounds by Powderpuff | <1k, m

When John thought about sleeping with Rodney, it was usually frantic, furious, and biting; aggressive and demanding, like Rodney himself often was. John expected bruises; expected it to hurt the next day, in that pleasant, “I just got laid” sort of way. In short, he expected it to be like all of the other times, after Nancy. He wasn’t so foolish as to imagine it wouldn’t matter, because everything with Rodney mattered—all John could hope for was that it didn’t scar.

September 20th, 2011 by velocitygrass | 1k, t

It's the end of DADT and nothing will really change for John.

start me up and watch me go by sabinelagrande | 1k, e 

Rodney discovers a new equation.

Sleeping Arrangements by Brumeier | 1k, t 

Of all the risks John faced in the Pegasus galaxy, having to share a small bed with Rodney while offworld was definitely the most dangerous.

Get You Back by lamardeuse | 1k, t

John nearly loses everything.

Lessons in Waking Up by Siria & dogeared | 1k, e

Keller crashes first, hiding a yawn behind one hand while she makes her excuses about early morning clinics and paperwork and half-jokes about not even being able to read her own handwriting. Sam's not far behind her; then Teyla, trailing Ronon in her wake, looking for peace through meditation, though John knows the only thing she's likely to find is irritation with Ronon's snoring.

Touch by astolat | 1k, e

Rodney McKay was a cuddler. Which was more than John had wanted to know.

The Whole Story by unadrift | 2k, t

John shows up at his door that night, carrying a sixpack of beer. Rodney follows him into the transporter and out to the pier. They settle down, feet dangling over the edge, and John hands him a can.

"So," Rodney says, after they each have finished off a beer. "I figure this is your subtle way of telling me that you want to talk?"

Talking Dirty by Toft | 2k, e

“It’s a major obstacle to successful porn dialogue that there are so few attractive words to describe anything to do with sex.”

Better Than Ice Cream by DesireeArmfeldt | 2k, t

Episode tag to Remnants: McKay wants to know what Sheppard saw in his hallucination. (Gen/friendship or pre-slash, depending on the color of your goggles.)

Just Hold Me, Please by christinchen | 2k, t

It just so happens that John desperately needs some human contact and Rodney's back is kinda sore. It's just a simple massage between two friends. No, really!

It Doesn’t Change a Thing by luredin | 2k, e

If Rodney had expectations about what life on Atlantis was going to be like before he got here, Major John Sheppard giving him head on the down low would not have been one of them. Nothing makes sense anymore, and if this is going to be a regular occurrence, Rodney thinks he should probably start returning the favor.

Or, five times John gets Rodney’s cock in his mouth, and one time Rodney has the pleasure.

That's MY cold by Saxifactumterritum | 3k, g

I wrote a fic. Mcshep, post The Eye/The Storm (Stargate Atlantis series one. John's got a cold, Rodney's annoyed, then there's snuggling

Hand Wash Only by LogicGunn | 3k, m

It’s so late on a Sunday night that it might actually be Monday morning when Rodney answers his door and tells John to “Fuck off, Colonel.” It’s the ‘Colonel’ that clues John into the fact that Rodney’s genuinely pissed more than the ‘fuck off’; he’s been ‘John’ for months now, ever since their first tentative kiss in the infirmary after a mission gone badly wrong.

Five Lies John Told (And Then A Whole Lotta Truth) by Speranza | 4k, t

Man, he had to give up bullshitting like this.

Clear Blue Skies by pebbles1971 | 4k, t

“McKay,” Sheppard said curtly as he stepped into the elevator. Rodney’s heart sank. He was well and truly trapped now, for the however-many floors of their shared transit. Dammit, he’d done such a good job of avoiding the man at the press conference too.

As if elevators didn’t make him twitchy enough.

the stonemason's buildings want for his hands again by synecdochic | 4k, nr

It's not about being shipwrecked; it's about what happens when you have to come back. Title, inspiration, and heavy imagery drawn from the poem Possibilities of Love by Ed Kleinschmidt.

Those Three Words by Argosy | 5k, e

John has something he wants to say, but it won't be easy.

A Heart Needs a Home by shrift | 5k, e

Sometimes when a door closes, a closet opens.

bubble bar by objectlesson | 5k, e

Like the time Rodney mentions taking a bath and John flatlines and says, I’m not going to take a bath with you, Rodney, at the same exact same time he is thinking, literally, specifically, about taking a bath with Rodney.

Still Water by Rachael Sabotini (wickedwords) | 6k, e

"We found a bathhouse?"

Knife-play. Dog Tags. Kinkiness.

A Little Bit Crazy by thegrrrl2002 | 7k, e

Back on Earth after the events of Siege III, and John's feeling a little...unsettled. (Contains Siege spoilers)

Kid A by Speranza | 7k, e

"I'm not gay, Rodney," John says, and it's awkward to have to say it, but it really has to be said.

The First Pressing by laceymcbain | 8k, e

John doesn’t know when he started thinking people had to justify being happy.

War Bride by Speranza | 9k, e

"Rodney's my desert island guy," he says finally, because it's the simplest, truest thing he can say: if there's one person he gets to keep with him, he chooses McKay. It's as simple as that.

Bare by objectlesson | 11k, e

“Did you not know,” Teyla says carefully, shooting a concerned look at Ronon over their mostly empty plates, “that Lt. Colonel Sheppard enjoys the company of—”

“No, I did not!” Rodney manages to grit out, sucking in air desperately before grabbing his glass of water and downing it. “Since fucking when?!”

We All Arrive By Different Streets by thegrrrl2002 | 11k, e

Rodney can't have something he never knew he wanted.

Your Inevitable Unhappy Ending by Helenish | 14k, e

It was easy to imagine fucking Rodney, the way he'd groan and clutch at John's arms and be too bossy about the whole thing; it was easy to imagine the problems it could cause.

Taking by Ladycat | 15k, e

John's throat works. Rodney wants to lean forward and lick it, bite along the bob of his Adam's apple. He will, he knows; John's already halfway there.

The Triboelectric Effect by trillingstar | 16k, e

"What the hell were you thinking, touching it!" John yells, terrified. "I didn't mean to!" Rodney yells back. "Oh right, because this morning I thought, let's be sure to get stuck to an unidentified object on an unknown planet in the dark depths of a cave today. Excellent, can't wait!"

Weddings, Plural, and a Yak by Speranza | 17k, e

By the eighth time John Sheppard married Rodney McKay, they were old pros at the wedding thing, having weathered not only an Ouishan blood wedding, but also a twelve-hour Avalonian handfasting, a Malanese necklace exchange, and a Thurtu joining ceremony that invoked a fire god and featured seven kinds of cake.

You & Me & The Pegasus Galaxy by CartWrite | 29k, e

When John Sheppard finds Rodney McKay's very explicit ads on the Atlantis hook-up board, he feels pretty weird and kind of loses his mind.

I Only Want Your Trust by Telesilla | 34k, e

"I Only Want Your Trust" is set in a BDSM AU where your orientation as a dominant or submissive matters more than your gender.

Exotic Species by 30toseoul | <1k, t

It wasn't that Rodney enjoyed how things regularly jumped up and tried to kill him in the Pegasus Galaxy.

Queer readings of Tolstoy in the Pegasus Galaxy by SquaresAreNotCircles | 1k, t

Rodney’s mouth is wide and wet and hot. His hands are broad and agile and surprisingly strong, and it’s a scorching shivery shock when one of them moves from John’s shoulders south, walking down his ribcage and reminding him he’s ticklish and-

He snatches up Rodney’s wrist and puts his other hand flat on Rodney’s sternum and wrenches his mouth free.

Rodney went still. "Wait, hang on. This isn't just you wanting a partner in crime to play hookey and sneak a midnight swim, is it?" He blinked up at John, his eyes wide and dark. "This is a date!"

Nash Equilibria Are For Losers by Persiflager | 1k, m

This was Rodney’s life now - reduced to the cable repair guy, surrounded by people who unironically fist-bumped, and doomed to die alone and get eaten by cats.

Through a glass, weirdly by valdomarx | 1k, t

Ronon ends up in the home universe of Rod McKay, the alternate version of Rodney that visited them a while back.

It's a pretty strange place.

Low-Slung, Surfer Boy by sheafrotherdon & thegrrrl2002 | 1k, e

The boys take a vacation, and all it takes for everything to come unraveled is one pair of swim trunks.

John Sheppard vs. The Magic Ball of Love by SquaresAreNotCircles | 2k, t

John grimaces. “Magic ball of love?”

“It’s that artifact thing from yesterday.” Rodney finds the time to tut in between bites and actual words. “This is what happens when Zelenka approves the underlings’ paperwork before I’ve officially decided on a name.”

Or: There’s John, there’s Rodney, there’s an Ancient glowy ball, and a lot of very successful non-communication. Just an average week on Atlantis.

Willful Dereliction of Duty (Via Parkour) by ladyflowdi | 2k, e

There are two things he cannot do in this moment: he can’t look at Rodney, and he can’t laugh. If he laughs he will lose all credibility, and the four knuckleheads standing in front of him will think that this kind of stupid behavior is okay. It is most certainly not okay, and when did John turn into his father, seriously?

The answer: No it is not by chaos_monkey | 2k, e

Answering the big question: is it just masturbation?

Inviting Catastrophe by esteefee | 3k, e

Their first week back on Earth, Rodney could hardly bear the sound of the generator at Area 51, the constant hum that wasn't Atlantis, that wasn't the ocean or her power conduits singing the sweet music of systems in harmony.

The Treacherous Five-Step Journey To Figuring Out If Your Gate Team Leader Could Possibly Like You Back, as experienced by Rodney McKay, PhD PhD by SquaresAreNotCircles | 3k, t

“So,” Rodney says, on a trek back to the gate from some rural village with absolutely zero ZPMs, “men.”

And John says, “Huh?”

Or: In which Rodney is as smooth as a shark while digging in the dirt, but John just won’t bite.

Trust Metric by esteefee | 4k, e

Way to get whammied by the Ancient fertility device, John.

The Golden Hour by goldleaf1066 | 4k, e

John sits down heavily having retrieved more drinks; they slip and slop on the little tray he’s liberated from one of the locals and he’s loose and giggly in that way that he gets which is never and he doesn’t seem to notice or care that his thigh is pressed up against Rodney’s and Rodney thinks, I’m not drunk enough for this, and downs his (worryingly fruity) drink in one swallow because he might as well make a start.

Irreconcilable Differences by rageprufrock | 4k, t

Teyla and John are both hot-blooded women.

Happily Ever After (the Pegasus remix) by cupidsbow | 4k, t

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE

make you my future history by objectlesson | 6k, e

It’s fucking freezing outside and Atlantis seems far away, Earth even further. A memory, or a dream, but Rodney is hyper-real, pressed up against John under a single animal skin, hot and solid as he grimaces up at the draped ceiling of their tent bowing lower beneath the weight of snow. “We should have, perhaps, asked for more spacious accommodations,” he grits out.

A Harlequin Romance by Salchat | 7k, t

Post S02 Ep19, 'Inferno,' where John gets in the way of his friend's pursuit of the scientist, Norina, Rodney is annoyed with him.

With Intent by shaenie | 12k, e

John has never successfully talked about anything in his entire life, and while Rodney would probably tell him that means he's statistically due for success, John isn't keen on risking it.

Funny Little Secret by crysothemis | 16k, e

Having a secret admirer was a lot more complicated than Rodney had expected.

Sheppard's Pie by auburn | 20k, t
