Many thanks to December's reccers! Some time in the next few days (honestly, doubtful it'll be before Sunday), I'll post the stats for 2025 and the reccer's honor roll.

I can't say I'm starting off 2026 here at [community profile] stargateficrec because [personal profile] mific beat me to it ;) but I can still officially declare that we are now in...

Open Reccer's Month

This will be exactly what it says on the tin: anyone, even non-members, can rec this month, with no minimum or restriction to specific category. You don't need to check to see if a story has been recced before (this is always the case) or if someone else is reccing the same category. You don't need to rec other fics before posting a self-rec, either. Just set up your rec according to the template you'll find on the FAQ page and you're ready to go!

Posting this month has only a few rules:

1. Since this will be open to everyone, please slot your rec into one of the existing categories that already exist in the memories. This is not hard. If you aren't sure what category to use, you can always fall back on "Gen" or "Het" or "Slash" as a last resort. :)

2. Please follow the template linked above. If you need help, my email is listed below.

3. Self-recs MUST be listed in the "Self-Rec" category.

4. Links MUST be open to all, without requiring membership to access. No, not everyone has an AO3 account.

If you have any questions, email me at sg1.fig at gmail and I'll be happy to help.

Happy reccing, everyone!

Привет and welcome to our new Russian friends from LiveJournal! We are happy to offer you a new home. We will not require identification for you to post or comment. We also do not cooperate with Russian government requests for any information about your account unless they go through a United States court first. (And it hasn't happened in 16 years!)

Importing your journal from ЖЖ may be slow. There are a lot of you, with many posts and comments, and we have to limit how fast we download your information from ЖЖ so they don't block us. Please be patient! We have been watching and fixing errors, and we will go back to doing that after the holiday is over.

I am very sorry that we can't translate the site into Russian or offer support in Russian. We are a much, much smaller company than LiveJournal is, and my high school Russian classes were a very long time ago :) But at least we aren't owned by Sberbank!

С Новым Годом, and welcome home!

EDIT: Большое спасибо всем за помощь друг другу в комментариях! Я ценю каждого, кто предоставляет нашим новым соседям информацию, понятную им без необходимости искать её в Google. :) И спасибо вам за терпение к моему русскому переводу с помощью Google Translate! Прошло уже много-много лет со школьных времен!

Thank you also to everyone who's been giving our new neighbors a warm welcome. I love you all ❤️

Why This Must Be Read: The story may well be widely known, so this is just as much to recommend the podfic that librarychick_94 completed recently. This is a wonderful story and an excellent podfic, an epic work at over four hours. Librarychick_94 reads with great pace, nuance, and characterisation and it's a really gripping listen. The story itself I found unputdownable when I first read it - one of those fics that keeps you up into the small hours to finish reading. Despite having had their memories wiped as a judicial punishment by an off-world civilisation, Rodney and John remain very much themselves. Rodney, as a scientist, has higher status in the prison complex, with his own apartment, and John is assigned to him as his servant. The worldbuilding is intriguing, and the ending very satisfying. Both the podfic and the fic are highly recommended!

cassiope25: Typical Rodney meme, wrong-wrong-wrong (Rodney meme 1)

Link: Romance on the High Seas

Author’s summary: "Where did all these flowers come from?" Rodney asks. They're everywhere. On tables. On desks. Large, blousy flowers, small pointed flowers, round edged flowers. Bunches of them in plain, clear vases, or in tall planters that have suddenly appeared in corners and crannies. They're even in the transporters, little bouquets affixed to the wall.
Or - Atlantis has a plan. A romance plan.

Why This Must Be Read: This lovely story by Anagrrl revolves around a sentient Atlantis that is trying to figure out what it takes to bring people together and, ultimately, increase its population. It’s endearing, heartwarming, and utterly delightful to read about all the different plans for getting under people’s skin and into their heads—or rather, their hearts. And it’s surprising, or perhaps not surprising at all, that Rodney, normally considered insensitive to subtleties, is the one who senses that Atlantis is seeking contact and wants to take care of it :)

Link: A Wake-Up Crash

Author’s summary: John didn’t so much wake up, as slide bumpily into consciousness, by a process of painful degrees.
At some point he remembered he had eyes and how to open them, so he tried that, just for kicks.
It went badly.

Why This Must Be Read: If you love great whump and big emotions, this endearing fic by WonkyElk is just right for you.
You’ll laugh, your heart will ache, and you’ll suffer with them—but in the end, you’ll be happy with our two idiots in love. Of course, Rodney assumes the worst about getting into a relationship and has to be convinced by John… that is, once John has convinced himself to come out to Rodney in the first place. So go and read—this will absolutely brighten your day.

Why This Must Be Read: Written in 2005 (so well before The Return) for the prompt "separated for years, but something brings them together", this can be read as an AU, or as futurefic (it would have been that at the time it was written, predicting The Return), or set post canon. It's tagged as Gen, but to me it feels like a McShep story, pre-slash. They're all back on Earth and have been for five years, and every year John writes to his closest friends from the expedition, to get them back together for Christmas. Lorne he sees more regularly, as he lives close by. But every year they all get together again... except for Rodney. This year, however, is different. It's a little sad, until it isn't, and I love it.
