The Giant McShep AU List started out as a collection of stories where John and Rodney have non-canon jobs. Then a couple crept in where one or the other is the canon character. I eventually bowed to the inevitable, and here’s the list just for them. 😀
Latest additions:
\o/week starting 05-26-19 (10) (I’ll be removing the ‘+++’ notations in the next update.)
~~~week starting 04-28-19 (5)
$$$week starting 04-07-19 (15, plus one moved from the main list)
+++week starting 03-25-19 (3)
Currently: 67 entries
Alphabetical by John’s job*
*All pilots (except ‘ex-pilots’) are under ‘pilot’, with the sub-type in parentheses.
Sequel/backstory/companion pieces can be found just under the original entry.
‘Verses with separate stories listed are either not internally linked or not all posted on the same website – you can back arrow to the list so as not to miss anything.

I just saw this, which is why a number of them appear on the list I sent you, since there were Canon entries on the other. Sorry.
Don’t be. This is something that’s been brewing for a while in my detail-oriented (some might say “OCD-ridden”) little brain. I tried to trick a couple of other people into starting one a while back, but it didn’t take. I’ve been trying to avoid it, but you know what the Borg say. 🙂

Tannhauser Gate by trinityofone
pilot (cyborg)/canon!Rodney
one of my favorites and probably the least kinky link I’ve sent you’)
Cool! I’ll add it in. I’m hoping to do some today. 🙂
Hmmm, after reading it, I don’t think it fits on this list either. I’ve had a few others where they are both their canon selves – with a twist (Rodney is Pan! John is a Veela!) – and I think this would fit in that category, too.
I was fun to read, though. Thanks for letting me know about it.
So I guess this is the list where the Botanist!John fic (the fic I mentioned on the other list a while back) would go? Then again, Rodney not the Chief Science Officer [CSO] in that fic; so would Rodney still be considered canon!Rodney if he just an astrophysicist on the Atlantis expedition?
Yep, this is where that one will go in the next batch.
And yes, he’d be canon!Rodney in that, because he is an astrophysicist in the SGC realm. The other list was created for Johns and Rodneys who weren’t part of that (usually indicated by their jobs).
Actually, now that I’ve read it again, it doesn’t fit this list either. I didn’t realize that John was a botanist IN Atlantis. That puts them both in the canon realm. Sorry.
Terraced Dynamics by pobrebin is Canon!John/Musician.
Thanks! I’ll add it in the next batch (later today, I hope).
The Sweep of Easy Wind by Blackchaps
http://blackchaps.wordpress.com/the-sweep-of-easy-wind-2/
prisoner (former Air Force pilot)canon!Rodney
An impressively tight AU
I just read that the other day and didn’t even think of sticking it on here. I was distracted by the pretty, will be my excuse. 😀
Thanks!
Glad you liked it to distraction — it’s one I love to share.
By the way, have you read her Collar Me? It’s in the “Take Off Clothes as Directed” skew of the BDSM universe so everyone is canon and I don’t think it fits in either collection BUT it is wonderful and if you haven’t read it — do so;0)
http://blackchaps.wordpress.com/collar-me/
I actually read all the stories she has posted there, except the two I’d read before. Thanks for filling my evening. 😀
Poor John in Collar Me – when Rodney dropped his leash and left. I felt bad for the poor moron. For both of them. Thank goodness they managed to get their shit together finally.
That’s the thing about her stories == she makes her characters so real, you care.
These have been deleted, does anyone have copies they can let me read please?
Here’s the author’s page on AO3, until I can get the page updated.

Wear a Rainbow by Busaikko
they are on Atlantis BUT John’s a vision impaired, epileptic with the gene ex-pilot (Sumner’s alive and in command)/Rodney is Rodney

This one I think doesn’t quite fit the list, even though I liked it. It’s just a bit too canon/canon – even with John’s injuries and job description. Thanks for the link, though. I hadn’t reread it in a while.
