Belated April recs: 3 SGA classics

[schneefink]

I was distracted last week because of exciting RL things and completely forgot about April recs. The first missed monthly rec post in over two years >.<

So, a quick one. I gave a short powerpoint presentation on my SGA fandom nostalgia in a Discord server recently (I joined SGA fandom almost twenty years ago, wow) and that reminded me of some SGA crack classics.

The Epic Tale of Rodney & John, Two Girl Scout Cookies In Love (The Pix or it Didn't Happen Remix) by Krim
0.4k + comic, John/Rodney, explicit cookie porn
Summary: Cookie porn, crumbs, strong language, extreme crackiness. Very image-heavy. No spoilers.
Why I love it: This is exactly what it sounds like and it's glorious. A classic.
Tragically I couldn't find a working link to the podfic/-video version by busaikko anymore, please let me know if you have one.

Stargate: Atlantis - The Post-Trinity phenomenon by iibnf
List of post-Trinity fics
Summary: [These are all McKay/Sheppard unless otherwise noted. This is not a list of recommendations, you can take it as a thematic list, instead. What I'm looking for is the classic Post-Trinity Mean John/Woobie Rodney concept, not other stories that may be set after Trinity but don’t deal with that particular issue.]
Why I love it: The Lemon Chicken Ratings list. A masterpiece.
Sadly a quick check showed that many links are no longer working, unsurprisingly, but even the list on its own is very much worth reading.

The Eternally Unnamed by lavvyan
John/Rodney, crack
Summary: Ketchup!John/Pea!Rodney: "Ketchup and peas don't go together."
Why I love it: Lavvyan has written a ton of beautiful crack but this might be my personal favorite.

I have a word document with links to SGA fanworks that's 14 pages long. I'm sure many links sadly don't work anymore but now I'm tempted to go through them again, reread a few more stories, maybe rec some... Always too much to read and not enough time.

Damn, that takes me back! :D

Time flies! I realized there are probably people in this Discord server that weren't alive when I first watched SGA xD

[trobadora]

AHHHHHH you take that back! That can't be possible! *flails*

[schneefink]

Sorry, sorry, of course not, must have been a strange time distortion field where time feels like it happens way too fast...

What a blast from the past. xD Especially the lemon chicken list ... I don't know how many people I recced that to (for the amusement more than the actual content) back in the day.

[schneefink]

It definitely still works without reading the fics, but I think having read at least a couple of them makes it even better because you find yourself constantly nodding ^^

(Man I miss themed rec lists sometimes.)

The cookie crack! I had no idea. xD

Thank you for reminding me that the internet was a pretty good idea, once. And tons of fun!

Very happy I could introduce someone to the cookie crack :D
SGA fandom is still my gold standard for crack.
