Indelible by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shaenie
McKay/Sheppard; NC-17; 129,000 words (yes, very very long. And so worth it, every word of it!)
Summary: John has a useful gift for compartmentalization: he discards the irrelevant and moves on. Then Rodney makes an ill-considered move on a mission, John steps up to take responsibility for making reparations to the locals, and things take a turn for the complicated as Rodney, an alien society, and an armada of ships make standard operating procedure completely impossible.
This story is epic, one of the very best fics I read last year. Excellent, original plot that makes the most not just of the characters but of Atlantis itself; an intensely deep John POV that's always spot on; an OC who makes a very interesting addition to the cast and blends like she always belonged... simply fantastic.
Spirits of the Dead bykodiak_bear
Gen; PG-13; Characters: Sheppard, team, Lorne, OCs; h/c; Spoilers through S5 Whispers; 28,000 + words
Good plotfic with a fascinating look into Pegasus culture, one the show doesn't offer: the Hoffan plague rages through the galaxy, and the people hit by it do what they must to survive.

halfamoon, a fourteen day challenge celebrating female characters in fandom, they got The Unpopular Woman Love Post -- there's a thread for sharing the Jennifer Keller love (and, fic recs and the like...)
eta: some fans are somehow mistaking "sharing the love" with "airing the grievances" (which at this point doesn't even surprise me any more). So, y'know... beware of a bit of anti-squee even in that post. (so rude...)

If you know of any good Keller stories that haven't been rec'd there yet, I'd love to hear them.
I'll keep my eye out! :) I may even go looking actually. I've been afraid to click on a story not otherwise recced for fear it'll do something horrible to to the character. Oh! Have you read this one? Story of My Life (http://busaikko.slashcity.org/?p=131) by

Me too!
But, yesterday I found a nice one that fits the bill (the one rec'd at Keller Daily) so I have at least three already. I should go and sign up.
