Gifts Unasked For, by docmichelle (NC-17)

Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS
Pairing: Sheppard/McKay/Teyla
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] docmichelle
Author Website: Tigerlady's Twisted Thoughts
Why this must be read: A long (42,000 words) juicy tale of the team's (John, Rodney, and Teyla's) attempt to find Ford and bring him back. It's also a tale of being stranded on a planet together, full of lovely little details and interactions, and the way the author brings the three of them together into an intimate relationship is very well done and plausible. And hot. Way hot. *g* The use of multiple POVs is very effective here, and the characterizations are on target. I especially enjoyed Teyla in this; she is portrayed as smart, tough, and earthy. When this fic first came out I hesitated to read it, being a complete Sheppard/McKay girl, but I'm glad I did, because it's a beautiful story and has become one of my favorites.

Snippet:

Teyla poured the tea, not wanting it to become bitter because of the insanity of men. She handed Rodney a cup first, since he had not irritated her yet. He nodded as he took it, but his eyes were slightly wary.

"And what of yourself? Do you wish to apologize for having sex with me as well?"

Rodney sputtered his tea, and Teyla hid a smile. She knew that people sometimes wondered if she was humorless, and she enjoyed making them wonder. It made moments such as these more enjoyable.
