Fanfic Recommendation Challenge

Claim: Stargate Atlantis, Ronon Dex
Title: Small Stories
Author: Brighid E. Stone brighidestone
Characters: Ronon Dex (pov), Elizabeth Weir, Rodney McKay
Prompt: 36. Family.
Rating: PG
Length: Medium
Brief summary: I love stories which create a backstory for Ronon of a world where there's an organized response to the Wraith. Brighid manages to do that, and create an emotional backstory as well. That's what's so fabulous.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis, Ronon Dex
Title: Outward Bound
Author: Hth hth_the_first
Characters: Charles Gunn (pov), Ronon Dex, John Sheppard, Teyla Emmagan, Rodney McKay (peripherally)
Prompt: 33. Crossover (Angel the Series)
Rating: Nc-17
Length: Long
Brief summary: I admit, this story is more about Gunn than about Dex. But Gunn and Dex have lead strangely parallel lives, and Hth plays nicely with the similarities of these two guys from different worlds, and how their solutions might work for each other.

Title: Nothing Rhymes
Author: Hth hth_the_first
Characters: Rodney McKay (pov), Ronon Dex, John Sheppard
Prompt: 34. Vacation
Rating: PG
Length: Medium
Brief summary: After they saved Atlantis, Rodney and his smoking hot boyfriends were forced on six weeks of leave on Earth. They fall into a routine. (This story is good because a) Hth manages to inject a moment of tense suspense into a story so domestic it's practically curtainfic and b) she manages to show each of the guys as comfortable in their own skins and with each other, but at the same time very different from each other. Sometimes, in threesomes, characters get mashed, two of them characterized as a unit, but Hth adroitly avoids that trap, and gives us a beautiful day in the life instead.)

Title: One thing Ronon's tattoo doesn't mean
Author: Livia liviapenn
Characters: Ronon Dex, incidental original characters
Prompt: 45. trapped
Rating: G
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Atlantis has not explored where Ronon came from or how he came to be in a militia unit that was given to the Wraith. Livia takes a whack at the question and arrives at a compelling answer that expands on the notion that life is different in the Pegasus, that death is coming for as many as it takes to fill the belly of a Hive ship, that some people staying alive means some people dying.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis, Ronon Dex
Title: Acclimation (Eight Days)
Author: Bone thisisbone
Characters: Ronon Dex (pov), John Sheppard, Rodney McKay (incidental)
Prompt: 21. Ephiphany
Rating: PG
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Ronon was on the run, without human contact for seven years before the Atlantis Expedition found him. It takes him more than a week to remember what it's like to live indoors, eat cooked food, and have other people around him. It takes him more than a week to decide to stay.
