Suspicion Week

[em_kellesvig]

Not the first time McKay faced the Wraith but the first time he went out with the team on a non-scientific mission. Notice he's wearing combatant grey, not science tan. Sheppard, Ford, Teyla -- they're trained to fight. McKay's a scientist, and until Atlantis, a theoretical scientist. Now, he has to learn what they do as naturally as breathing.

There are a lot of stories out there about McKay's learning curve. Got recs?

I'm sure everyone's already read it, but Care in the Holding (http://laceymcbain.livejournal.com/169667.html) is brilliant.

One of my favorites! Thank you!

I haven't read it, so I'm glad you included the link. Thank you.

I know a few McShep fics:

Gun Safety by notpoetry

Firepower by Penknife

A Little Learning by laceymcbain

I could have swore I've read a couple fics that focus on Rodney learning to stick fight, but my searches turned up nothing.

Thank you for the recs! I did some searching today too but wasn't as successful as you were. I think I need to fix my Pinboard tags. :)

[popkin16]

You're welcome! Oh good, I wasn't sure if my comment went through. I was informed that it was marked as spam :\

I should comment that the one fic - Firepower - is actually gen.

Pinboard has better search than delicious does :) I'm always grateful that I have it when I need to find fics *quickly*

[em_kellesvig]

For some reason -- I'm not sure why -- if a comment has a link in it, it's held until the OP can decide if it's spam. I thought I'd fixed that on the comm settings but I guess it's a little too nuanced for LJ. :/ (Members can post freely but apparently not comment freely. Weird.)

Sorry about that. At least it keeps the bizarre Russian spam away.

[popkin16]

Oh, weird. I posted once and it was marked as spam, so I deleted it and tried again, and decided to just leave it. I'm glad it wasn't something I did.

At least it keeps the bizarre Russian spam away.

That's something, at least :D And now that I know it's just LJ with its weird settings, I won't panic the next time :P

This one is a favorite of mine. :)
