☆ The Roads Never Lead Where They're Supposed To Go by eleveninches [AR, 23300 words]
A slightly different John and Rodney, in a slightly different Atlantis, fight Marines, dinosaurs, and each other. 

☆ The Company He Keeps by xparrot [Canon, episode tag, 2476 words]
Dr. Rodney McKay isn't Cam's first choice for an astrophysicist; he knows that before he ever meets the man in person.

☆ Fair Trade by esteefee [AU, 82351 words]
AU in which John owns a coffee roastery, Rodney designs exhibits for science museums, Teyla is a physician in internal medicine, and Ronon is an orthopedic surgeon all living in San Francisco.

☆ The Price That Life Exacts by cathalin [Canon, 63369 words]
When John disappears without a trace during a routine mission, people in a beleaguered Atlantis eventually have to try to move on. Rodney never completely gives up hope of finding John, and though he soldiers on to help Atlantis, a year later he still lives every day with his grief.

The story opens with a shocking discovery that may help Rodney come to terms with some truths about himself and his relationship with John, and will have consequences beyond what anyone might predict.

☆ Calling Down The Lightning by dreamwaffles [AR, 55498 words]
The gift of magic carries a death sentence on Earth, and one so accused can be executed on suspicion, for the simple reason that the destructive power of an angry wizard can lay waste to entire countries.  When magic awakens in a person just as they leave their teens, whether it is the untamable power of a wizard or the lesser abilities of a mere magician, life becomes a constant struggle to hide it at all costs.

Dr. Rodney McKay, PhD PhD, is a wizard.  Incredibly, he has learned to control his power and is one of the few wizards in the world to have survived past his twenties.  In order to remain hidden, he has sworn never to use his magic except in the most desperate of circumstances, when lives are at stake.  But what will happen in the Pegasus Galaxy, where desperate circumstances are commonplace and chaos threatens to overwhelm the expedition at every turn?

Ooo, thanks for the heads up! I may have to start tracking people's icons :D It's kind of sad, how excited I am by this possibility :P

You're welcome! I found these awesome dashboard icons that were Stargate themed, but then tumblr changed their icons and now it just looks terrible.

I have a couple belly!Rodney icons, tbh. Later tonight when I get my flash drive one out to look for the ♥ cheek one, I'll also send along the belly!Rodney ones :P
