miss_porcupine - Gen
Summary: In the annals of SGC history, it will forever be debated whether the decision to remove then-Major John Sheppard from the Atlantis expedition was an act of great folly or one of great fortune.
This is yet another great story from one of the best in SGA fandom. It's completely Gen and incredibly long (~52,000 words). I remember reading the start of this 2 years ago, and wished she'd added more too it then. This story is that wish fulfilled. It's a 'what-if' AU: What if John Sheppard hadn't been allowed to go back to Atlantis at the end of Season 1? The story riffs off the Intruder ep (the one with the Wraith virus that takes over the ship).
Doctor Who
Cladogenesis byomphalos - NC-17
This is the same author that brought us 'New Dawn Fades', the Doctor/Master epic which I recced [here], only this time it's a Master/Donna epic.
Yes, that's right. The Master and Donna Noble!! And there are only 6/12 chapters done, but they're really, really long, well written chapters.
This takes place after season 4 in DW, so if you haven't seen the final episode yet, don't read this if you don't want to get spoiled. Seriously. I'm not kidding here. The Master is back like we all knew he would be (can't keep a good bad guy down), and he's essentially met his match in Donna. I will warn for some raunchy Donna/Master sex, and double warn for the Doctor/Turlough scenes, as they get very vicious and violent and dark. I kid you not.
What I like about this writer, is that she (I assume 'she') doesn't stick to New Who, but uses any and all Old Who characters/plots/ideas along the way. I barely remember much of the Old Who eps (CBC kept playing the Fourth and Fifth Doctors well into the 80's), but I find I'm not at much of a disadvantage for not knowing who they are. (Google usually answers most of my questions, anyway.)
Go forth and read, my minions!! AHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAAHA!!!
