Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Series: Alpha Centauri 
Author: Hth   hth_the_first
Genre: Slash, Angst, First Time, Hurt/Comfort
Pairings: John/Rodney, Rodney/Ronon, John/Ronon, John/Rodney/Ronon
Rating: NC17
Warnings: None.
Spoilers: Through Season 2, Episode ? (It's an ongoing series, so just assume it's what ever is current.)

Notes: Okay, it's another ongoing Series.  But it's a really good one. If I had an OT3 in SGA...well hell, maybe I do have an OT3 in SGA, because I really never expected to like Rodney/Ronon as much as I do, but I really do.  Especially in Hth's series.  I like the way she portrays all three characters.  And that's the thing.  There's lots of really hot sex in this series, but that's not all of it.  She gets into the characters, and exposes them; their fears and insecurities, their confusion and frustration over misunderstandings and cultural differences, their needs and lust and passions.  It's all there, and you feel very strongly for all the characters involved.

ETA: Hth just added these to her website, so that's what I linked to. If she gets behind on updating her site, I'll try to remember to come back and put links to her journal for the newest parts.

ETA2 - I think this excerpt earns the title of the single longest excerpt in this journal. But it just had so many good (and funny) things in it, that I couldn't decide where to edit it. So you get the whole section, and a really good glimpse into why you should be reading this series. So, enjoy.

I rate this Series: Pretty Damn Good 

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis 
Title: Damned
Author: titti
Genre: PWP, Slash, First Time
Pairing: Sheppard/Dex
Rating: NC17
Warnings: Dom/sub
Spoilers: Through Season 2, Episode 2.05 - Condemned

Notes: When I saw Condemned, I was just thrilled with that little exchange between Ronon and John, when Ronon forced John into giving him an order: "Is that an order?"  "Does it need to be?"  "Yes!"  I was already a fan, I'd liked Ronon's character since Runner, his first episode.  But  John/Ronon became my OTP at that moment.  As a matter of fact, I think I heard fangirls  squeeing about that scene all over LJ that next week.  And I was in perfect agreement. 

Ronon, bound and wearing a collar, and only responding to an agressive, male voice ordering him to behave?  Oh, yes.  I loved that.  And almost immediately after the episode, Titti wrote this.  There were others written on the same subject, and if I haven't I may well rec some of them at some point, but this was the first, and so far?  Still my favorite.  Titti has a nice grip on the interplay between Dom and sub.  She pays attention, and uses it well.  And this fic?  It makes me smile, every time I read it.

I rate this fic: Pretty Damn Good

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Series: Revelations  
Author: Bone  (thisisbone)
Genre: First Time, Character Study, Slash
Pairing: Sheppard/Dex
Rating: PG to NC17
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Through Season Two, Lost Boys (so far)

Notes: The first one (Acclimation: Eight Days) is more of a Character Study of Ronon Dex, on his first week in Atlantis (the only PG rated fic.)  But it does't take long before the series begins to explore the growing relationship between Sheppard and Dex.  (All the rest of the series is rated NC-17.)  Each fic is complete in and of itself, but hopefully there will be more once the show picks up again in January.  

BTW: John Sheppard/Ronon Dex?  My New OTP. 

Excerpt:  From Acclimation (Eight Days)
