sga_squeeI posted a version of this on my LJ about a year ago, but I've updated it and added more fics and fixed a couple of typos. So I thought I would post it around at a few fandom fests happening right now. If you are interested in the complete version, with fics from other fandoms, see my LJ HERE

"ARE THEY ROBOT HOOKERS THAT LOOK LIKE ME?" Atlantis thinks John is the best thing ever and starts making copies for everyone. SGA, McShep
Botany Strike Back by slybrarian
"Oh, I see how it is. Botany's not a real science; it's just a bunch of plants. No one ever wants to take a botanist hostage, it's always "oh, Doctor McKay, could you build us a bomb," or "construct a death ray or die" SGA AU, Gen
And a Parrish in a Pear Tree by clwilson2006
There are new marines on Atlantis, and they have to be trained in all things Pegasus. That’s Major Lorne’s job. SGA, Gen

"Well, that's just great," Rodney says to none of them in particular, to all of them, because what, does he look like someone who should be in charge of caring for anything other than a small, personal nuclear weapon or a ZPM? But he checks his pulse and it's strong and steady; his forehead is cool; his sinuses seem clear - somehow he's not sick, and everyone else is, and shit, that means he's probably in charge. SGA, Gen
The Laundry Ultimatum by explodedpen
A week in the life of the bravest man to ever walk the hallways of Atlantis... the laundry guy. SGA, Gen

Kirkendorf's Tribe by Negolith2
It was supposed to be a simple trade mission, until John realized he really needed to start paying more attention in pre-mission briefings. Headhunters, bonding rituals, sanspantsedness, and minor whump ensue. SGA, Gen
pretty much the worst winter ever by americanleaguer
"C'mon. How was I supposed to know that system was gonna go out?"

So Movey by sheafrotherdon
John is drunk. Rodney is movey. SGA, McShep
One Life To Ascend To by glitterati
Despite Rodney's snide comments about how of course John would be the one to discover the Ancient equivalent of television and bring about the decay of all possible scientific efficiency on Atlantis, John's suddenly everybody's best friend for having figured out that the white, spherical orbs that appear when you touch the pale square on the night tables makes pictures and noise. SGA, preslash McShep
Five Planets Atlantis is Never Contacting Again, or at Least If They Do, They’re Sending Another Damn Team, Not John’s by spuffyduds
As the title says. SGA, mild McShep
A Lorentzian Slip of the Tongue by runpunkrun
No one really knows how gate travel works, but anyone that's been through the gate a few times knows that if you're speaking when you step across the event horizon, there's no guarantee that's what you'll be saying when you come out the other end. Note: this has never stopped McKay from talking all the way up the ramp and out the other side. SGA, McShep
The Courtship of Dorkbirds by aesc
The team observes the courtship rituals of a pair of dysi birds. SGA, preslash McShep
With Intent by Shaenie

Aliens Made them... Hula Hoop? by epiphanyx7
"Come on, Colonel McSlinky, just join their hula-hooping contest and let the nice aliens see how much we value their customs.” SGA, preslash McShep
101 Uses For Spellcheck by someinstant
John and Rodney met once when they were young and had sekrit sex. Much later, in Atlantis - John remembers and Rodney doesn't! Can the rugged soldier convince the brilliant blue-eyed physicist that they're meant to be? SGA, preslash McShep (scroll about halfway down the page)
