Author's Website: MrsHamill on AO3
Link: Personal Hero (locked to AO3), and here on DW. Plus, there's an excellent podfic bylibrarychick_94 which is here, or here.
Why This Must Be Read: This is a bit gruelling, but it all works out in the end. It features a badass Rodney saving John on a mission-gone-wrong, pushing himself beyond what he'd thought possible to carry John, wounded, back to the stargate. The rest of the story is about rescuing Ronon and Teyla, and the aftermath of the mission when John regains consciousness and gradually pieces together how Rodney feels about him. Action, then feelings and romance, and it's an enjoyable read.

- If you're still eager to create for the exchange, please consider treating a pinch hitter or writing a treat for a participant. Treats do not have to meet the minimum word count and equivalent requirements.
- If you're a participant who has completed your assignment and you do not have a gift, please contact me at rarepairexmod@gmail.com by Thursday 23 October at 11:59pm EDT with your AO3 username so I can investigate.
- Please be aware that I will be AFK on Saturday 25 October EDT (or Sunday 26 October AEDT, which is my local timezone) for the entire day as I will be attending an event. If you email me on this day, I will do my best to get back to you the following day. (The collection reveals on my Monday.)

AWS outage

dw_maintenanceDW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.
Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.
Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

Oct. 18th, 2025 12:39 ammific posting in stargateficrecShows: SGA
Rec Category: Action/Adventure
Characters: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex, Radek Zelenka
Categories: Gen
Words: 3176
Warnings: no AO3 warnings apply
Author on DW: n/a
Author's Website: ltlj on AO3
Link: Inundation on DW, Inundation on AO3 (locked to AO3)
Why This Must Be Read: in this "mission gone wrong" the team, plus a Marine, Radek, and some archaeologists, end up stranded on top of a partly-submerged old city, the Gate (and the jumper) now underwater after a mudslide and flood. It was written for an SGA flashfic challenge "Strange New Worlds and Alien Geography", and while at first the worst they seem to be facing is dampness and discomfort, the world proves to have wildlife that makes things interesting. This is lots of fun, with amusing grumpy banter, John in peril, and a great alien encounter.

Rec Category: Jack O'Neill
Characters:Pairings: Jack/Daniel
Categories: slash, first time,
Warnings: boys kissing (like that's a surprise!)
Word Count: 3500
Author on DW: none found
Author's Website: AO3 Profile
Link: May-December
Author's Summary:
Daniel brings Jack with him to a cultural theater event at his old university attended by some of his former colleagues. When one of Daniel’s professors assumes that he and Jack are an item, Jack plays into it to amuse himself and to get under Daniel’s skin. Which he does, in more ways than one.
Why This Must Be Read:
A fun fic where Jack goes to the theater with Daniel. Poor Daniel is confused and slightly embarrassed by Jack's actions... until the discussion after, where they both admit they've kissed other boys in the past.
It's sweet and them.
