Stargate Atlantis: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard

Summary: Atlantis is drifting in the Bay alongside the Golden Gate Bridge, and Rodney and John are drifting apart. Nothing is as it should be. (Angst with a happy ending and smut ♡)

(This sweet song fic is a piece of my soul. I'm so pleased with how it turned out, and I hope you love it as much as I do.)

Rewatching Stargate: SGA and noticing that Zelenka notices tiny details in Rodney's demeanor and body language and checks in with him. That Czech... He's very sweet, and while Beckett is also Rodney's close friend, I think Rodney himself is sleeping on the fact that ZELENKA probably knows him best and is his best friend aside from Sheppard.

I love that man.

“We hope this email finds you well” babe, the only emails I hope find me well are the ones from Archive of Our Own

genuinely i think everyone would be so much happier if we simply accepted that fanfiction isn’t supposed to be realistic at all, it’s just supposed to make you happy. ​these freaks are currently 20k words into pining for each other while living under the same roof and working the same job, fuck realism tbh

So I tend to get hit with ideas for silly little tags as I'm writing fics and jot them down so I don't forget.

Current thoughts for my sappy McShep song fic:

[fangirlsalad]

i would die for this commenter, this is legitimately such an honest and kind way to engage with authors on WIPs

like! this is such a genuine form of encouragement and communication and i so deeply appreciate this. can we normalize this???

[fangirlsalad]

Jaina Solo exists, and they can never kill her in a way that matters.

the high after someone comments on my fics is unparalleled

[fangirlsalad]

Good gracious another one! Stop encouraging him! (no, don’t!)

Have you ever:

Listened to a song and thought it was the perfect vibes for your ship

Made a playlist of songs that made you think about Stargate?

Felt like the lyrics of a song are the perfect plot for a fic?

Thought that one of your favorite characters would absolutely love this song/album/band?

Wanted to edit together your favorite SGA scenes to the strains of the song that is stuck in your head?

Podfic of Clear Blue Skies

Written Fic Link

I loved making this podfic of Mas_Pebbles_Sharp's Clear Blue Skies. This story is full of angsty McShep feels with a happy ending. Post series.

Cassiope25 made the cover and I love it!

Listen I love the Vegas episode of SGA so much because it's so good but I desperately need to know if anyone else thinks the Wraith disguised as a human looks like Neil Patrick Harris.

[fangirlsalad]

i feel like an often overlooked downside to 10-episode seasons and the death of the "monster of the week" format is that we get way less whump variety nowadays. used to be that there'd be dozens of opportunities for your fave to get punched or kidnapped or hypnotized or what have you. these days if it doesn't fit into the main plot, it just doesn't happen. this is a tragedy. we should be protesting.
