Author's Summary: Sometimes you'd never dream of being friends with someone, especially the most annoying person in Antarctica, until you get stuck with them in another galaxy.

Why This Must Be Read: I love this story so much. Sholio hits it out of the park with this story where Sheppard considers his first impression of McKay then follows them through canon and the amazing friendship they are building together. It's sweet and fun. I've probably read it several times because of the humor mixed with just the perfect view of them. Sholio really understands John and Rodney and gets their witty banter down perfectly. I can't recommend it enough.

And! There's a wonderful podfic by Rheanna for it as well which I've listened to at least twice. One of my favorites.

Author's Summary: Sheppard and McKay are trapped in a cave Sheppard reflects on how he got to where he is on his birthday.

Why This Must Be Read: Kodiak Bear Country is one of my favorite authors and she always right a spot on John Sheppard. In this story, she has John reflecting on his past and his choices as he and Rodney wait for rescue. It's his 40th birthday. It's written before we learned about John's dad and other stuff in canon, but it's not far off from what canon decided. I love this John so worried about Rodney while thinking about what brought him to this point. It's sweet, reflective, and a quick read.

Unfortunately, Kodiak Bear Country has all her stuff on LJ and fanfiction.net and not on AO3, but I still think it's really worth the read anyway.

Summary: The Vermillion Peony Tree has stood for two hundred years... It might stand for two hundred more.... Given no one's stupid enough to annoy its guardian.

In which a possibly familiar Original Character meets a group of very familiar Night Hunters, attempting to clear a haunting from an inn built maybe a bit too close to the Burial Mounds.

(Part of the Mending the Pieces Universe.)


Author’s Notes:

* Not every monster or ghost you go after is a real monster. Sometimes the ones you have to worry about are the living people.
* Which, of course, was the message of the early Scooby Doo Adventures. Wish they hadn't lost that later on.


Reccer's Notes: A post-canon Halloween Scooby-Doo homage in which sapient fierce corpses Nie Mingjue and Song Zichen and demi-undead Meng Yao, incognito and under aliases, have become a wandering occult investigation trio. (Or, to the inn stableboy who can see ghosts Xiao Xingchen and A-Qing, a quintet.)

(JustAWanderingBabbit is the sort of author who maintains a repertory company of sorts; POV character Ah Bai is an OC who recurs in several of her MDZS works.)

And a set of stories in the same universe: the sentinel stars set their watch in the sky worth checking out.


Author's Summary:

Go to the Sentinel/Guide conference, Lydia said. It’ll be useful, Lydia said. You might even find your Sentinel, Lydia said, because of course in the ridiculous town of Beacon Hills that’s full of supernatural creatures there is precisely one Sentinel of the right age and Parrish is already her Guide.


Why This Must Be Read:

This really is for the Teen Wolf fans who also adore Stargate SG-1. This is a Stiles-centric fic from start to end but Stiles is a Guide who ends up with Clone Jack O'Neill as his Sentinel. It's a Stiles who doesn't want to be a Guide. And Clone Jack still remembers being bonded to Daniel. That's as messy as it sounds.

Add in rogue NID agents kidnapping Guides, a confused Sheriff who is not happy with the apparent age of his son's Sentinel, werewolves, NDAs up the wazoo, and a frustrated Blair who is challenged every step of the way by Stiles who asks 'why' about everything and you have a fascinating fic that brings some of our favorite people into one place.
