Cocytus (PG-13, Team, SGA

Saw this fic on sga_flashfic and decided to give it a go. I’m glad I did. It's dark and freaky and creepy and a very good read. Well-written and the characters are very much in character. If you don't mind a fic a little on the dark side, take a look. I think you'll like it.

Cocytus
Authors: eretria and murron
Genre: Gen (Team)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: They cry for those who have no one left to cry for them. In Greek mythology, Cocytus, meaning river of wailing (Greek "lamentation") was the river in the underworld on the banks of which the dead who could not pay Charon wandered, according to most accounts, for one hundred years.
Warnings: While not containing rape or non-con or violence, this story does explore the darker aspects of the Pegasus galaxy/society. If you're easily creeped out, read this with a caveat.

Irony (Drama, PG/Teen, SGA)

I read this fic a while ago, when it was posted, and I bookmarked it. There was something about that hit just right. I wandered there this morning and that "something" was still there. Let me know if you agree. It's a short fic, but a very powerful one.

Down Came a Spider (McKay whump, PG-13/T)

Okay. I'm so glad this fic is finally complete so I can rec it here. I generally don't read WIPs on the chance that the author won't finish it, but in Tipper's notes she said it was done so I decided to trust her--and I'm SO glad I did. I started reading this fic a few days ago and found myself waiting each night for her to post a new chapter. A really great McKay whumper and we even get to see Carter in action and on Atlantis, getting an eyefull of McKay's city.

Go forth and read!

Down Came A Spider
By Tipper
Rating: Gen/T – action/adventure, angst, crossover
Description: Crossover with SG-1. The Wraith target their most dangerous human enemy...but they didn't count on the bull-headed resilience of his friends.

Frustration (McKay whump, PG-13/T)

I was wandering around Fanfiction.net and stumbled across this nice little McKay whumper in the "Just In" area. Written pretty well (but watch out for the unmarked scene changes/point of view switches--once you get the hang of that you'll have no problems.) I enjoyed it. What's not to like with a little McKay whump over lunch?

Snide remarks and frustrations abound as Kavanagh strikes again. Just a little fic placed sometime before Critical Mass.
Rated: T
Action/adventure, drama, general, hurt/comfort

Descent (Drama, PG-13/T)

Good story overall. You know me and I wish there was more Rodney whumpage, but you get a little and a bunch of Sheppard whump. Mostly focuses on John, Rodney, and Elizabeth. I read it a few months ago and finally found it again thanks to a member on the SGAHC list.

Descent
By Elnea
Summary: Members of the Atlantis Expedition are inexplicably losing their sanity, and Rodney makes an interesting discovery under the city.
