Definitely my favorite moments with Sheppard almost all center around interactions with Rodney. He gets a few good moments in with Ronon in the last season. I liked their interaction in the building collapse episode. My favorite fanfic is always about McKay and Sheppard (not slash), it is sometimes hard to find good ones, but I keep trying.
I was pretty ticked off at the writers over the last couple of seasons. I didn't mind so much that they brought Carter to Atlantis, but they killed off a great character to bring her in and then didn't even use her character's strengths. They made her not a super genius fix it person, which made it totally pointless to have her there. I did end up really liking Woolsey in the leader role, though. The show would have fared better if they had put him in directly after Weir.
Then the last several episodes seemed like they had went over to FFnet and stole a bunch of fanfic. It really felt like they were just going through the motions, biding their time to get to Universe.
Ok, ok, I promised some goodfic, didn't I? These first two are both by the same author and both could share the same note, though only the first one included it. They are also really good examples of how to do OC's without making them Sues/Stus
On the Road to Come What May
Summary:It started with a strange vessel crashing down from the sky. Then three strangers appeared in a decaying city, willing to risk everything to rescue an injured, imprisoned friend. For those caught up in the adventures of these four, nothing will ever be the same again.
Note: This is an outsider viewpoint story, told entirely through the eyes of original characters (two main ones, plus two one-offs for the prologue and interlude.) Our heroes, though, are very much central to the plot, and appear in virtually every scene, and are talked about in those very few scenes that they don't appear in.
The Flowers of the Field
Summary:On the first day of spring, a young girl finds a badly injured man, chained to a dead man and caught in a trap
This one is one of my favorites. It tapers off a lot after chapter 10, but not into badfic range, just they dragged it out after it should have ended.
Silent Sacrifice
Summary:John, Rodney, and Ronon try to survive after crash landing on an unexplored planet. Their injuries and lack of supplies begin to take their toll as they wait to be rescued.
If you've been reading in this fandom for long you've probably seen this, but it is a good one.
The Barista Series
Summary:These stand alone vignettes start at the very beginning with Children of the Gods and takes the reader through SG life as seen through the eyes of Daniel's Barista.
This goes through Season 5.
