some of my favorites (so far - that's a lot of stories to read!) from this year's

sg_rarepairings. I don't read much stargate fic lately, and I'm pretty sure this is the first thing I've read by these authors. As much as I love Rodney, I think I'm McShepped out for a while, so I was glad to find some variety.

gen, pre-ship and/or fluff
Champagne and Caviar by

facetofcathy Carter/Sheppard, G. Pitch-perfect banter.

Statistical Improbabilities by

beanpot Carter/McKay, PG. I would totally spoil my favorite thing about this story by mentioning it. Beyond that, Carter and McKay have an evening influenced by alternate universes.

Tell me what you want by

wraithsinger Carter/McKay, PG-13. A return to the enormous but inappropriately expressed crush that Rodney used to have on Carter.

The trouble with Griks by

world_of_blade Carter/Lorne, G. A mission results in an unpleasant addition to the Atlantis population.

As dreamers do by

sardonicsmiley Lorne/Zelenka, PG. Date!fic.

angst
Still Running by

bluflamingo Lorne/Sheppard, PG-13. Aftermath of Lorne and Sheppard being stranded off-world together, interspersed with some Lorne character study. I'm still looking for words that adequately describe this, but suffice it to say that it's really good. She's got a few other excellent Lorne/Sheppard fics at her lj, along with other stuff I haven't had a chance to read yet.
