Title: The Secret Life of Scientists
Author: [livejournal.com profile] julad
Rating: R
Length: Long
Brief summary: Julad's given us some excellent S1 setting in fic, coupled with a gorgeous conceit of Zelenka gifting McKay with time. It's sweet but still hollow with the regretful reality of living in Atlantis, and it stands out very well against the background cast and scenery she's created.
Excerpt: "You gave me time," he said, and paused in the corridor to beat his head against the wall in despair. "That is the lamest pun in the entire history of the universe."

"Possibly," Zelenka agreed, smirking. "But I got tired of waiting for you to have enough."

Claim: SGA
Prompt: 2: AU
Title: A Supermarket in California
Author: [livejournal.com profile] taffetablue
Rating: R
Length: Long
Brief summary: The secret to a good AU is that it shows you something about the characters you didn't already know. This fic takes the lackadaisical side of John and pushes it to the forefront, creating a John who's at peace, and it's beautiful. Both Rodney and John are very well drawn and they're different, better, easier than we see on the show. It's a great twist on the characters we love.
Excerpt: It only takes them three weeks, working long hours that John pays them for in coffee and sandwiches and donuts as well as cash. They’ve painted the walls a pale orangey yellow that looks warm and open in the mornings, and oddly comforting at night, under the bright new lights. The students cleaned up the windows, and moved around shelves and made signs and designed a layout, and one of them even (God bless her, John marvels, Oh thank you hallelujah) gets her boyfriend and a couple of his fraternity brothers to tackle the bathroom with cleaning products until it no longer violates health code.

I'm fairly certain that excerpt you gave to Supermarket in California actually belongs to a Kormantic fic.
