Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: Gen. Steve the Wraith, Original male character, John Sheppard
Rating: Mature
Length: 1801
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply. Second person POV
Creator Links: frostfire on AO3
Theme: Outsider POV, genfic

Summary: More issues, Steve's and others'.

Reccer's Notes: This is told from the POV of a young Marine, on guard outside Steve the Wraith's cell on Atlantis. He battles with the pressure Steve puts on his mind and senses, made worse by possible unresolved issues from his past. Then Sheppard visits and comprehensively distracts the Wraith, and things change. An interesting perspective and character study, and I liked the second person POV which made it more immediate, being inside the guy's thoughts.

Theme: Outsider POV, Animals, Cultural Differences, Folklore & Fairytales

Summary: И кролики могут быть верными. (And rabbits can be true.)

Author’s Notes: АУ: дорамоверс, вансяни вынесли кроликов из пещеры. (AU: Dramaverse, Wangxian brought the rabbits out of the cave.)

Беты noface и mummi. (Betas

noface and mummi.)

Reccer's Notes: The POV character of this Russian-language fic is one of Lan Yi’s white spiritual rabbits—who, taken into the sunlit green world, suddenly has to adjust to not only a custody transfer but an alien habitat and way of life. This story alludes to the fairytales of the Snow Maiden and the rabbit who saved the Buddha, so be prepared for a similar tale of self-sacrificial devotion.

(And yes, the author addresses the question of how the rabbits subsisted in the ice cave—something a lot of Chen Qing Ling viewers had been wondering.)

Summary: So, yeah, I was rummaging through a box of photos that my gran had, and you'll never guess who was in some kind of official publicity still. Fo-ye! That guy was a looker.

I digitised it to share, and I've scrounged up a few more. I Am Engaging In History, so proud!

Author’s Notes:: // I futzed around with some screenshots and publicity stills to make them look 'vintage'. Not very deep, but hella fun.

// Images free to share, use, or remix, no credit required. (But if you do credit, please include the Pixabay source data as well.)

// Bon appetit.

Reccer's Notes: A 21st-century amateur history buff, rummaging through time-faded family scrapbooks, newspapers, magazines, and memorabilia, unearths a century’s wealth of photos, gossip, and pop culture about the great families of the Nine Gates (discovering in the process that, in Jess Nevins’ words, research is fractal.)

Theme: Outsider POV, Family, Characters of color

Summary: There was a man in the park watching her. She had seen him before, exactly a year before. His clothing was different, and he wore a hat this time. But the dark brown of his curls was the same. The bittersweet smile framed with a well kept beard was the same. And his eyes held the same fondness in their dark depths. Najid was not scared of the man who watched her. For she knew it was not her those sad eyes lingered on. It was her son.

Reccer's Notes: Nostalgic and sweet, as Joe is cast as a small family's personal djinn. I can't say any more without spoiling it. Author recommends that you read "à la mémoire des pères" first (linked at top of story), but I think it works well without that, with the mystery unfolding slowly (but realization comes by the end).

Reccer's Notes: This story is sweet, and gentle, and absolutely charming. It shows us how other people at the University -- specifically the secretary of the Anthro dept -- see Blair. (As might be expected, she adores him.) This story is a fave from many years ago; I hope you enjoy it.

Content Notes: no AO3-type warnings apply
Creator Links: Sholio on AO3, Sholio's website with more SGA fic, almost_clara on Dreamwidth
Theme: Outsider POV, Team as family, Friendship, Action/adventure

Summary: Radek struggles, sometimes, with the feeling that he's an outsider to the closeness that Sheppard's team share. Offworld rescue missions tend to put things in perspective, though.

Reccer's Notes: Written for the SGA Reversebang, this is an interesting story by Sholio about Radek observing Rodney's team, at first a little wistfully, but later deciding he's happier in the Science Department without those intense bonds and all they imply, especially after a dangerous rescue mission offworld. Excellent writing, and gorgeous art by almost_clara.

The Cap-IM Reverse Bang Date Claims are coming—it's time for you to decide on a posting date!

Date Claims will open on Saturday, April 19th, 9:00 AM EDT (what time is this for me?) and close on April 21th at 11:00 PM EDT.

Remember that if no one on your team is available to claim a date, you can ask someone else to proxy-claim for you!

2025 Cap-Iron Man Reverse Big Bang

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

By claiming a posting date, you are committing to having your work complete and ready for posting by the date you have picked; this counts as your check in for the RBB. If your team does not claim a date by April 21th 11:00 PM EDT or email the mods prior to claims, we will assign your team to a posting date.

If no team member is able to submit your date claims on behalf of the team, please use a proxy to submit a claim on your behalf. If you can't find a proxy, please email the mods at cap.im.events@gmail.com.

By submitting a claim, your team is committing to publishing your works on any of the dates chosen. If you believe you won't be able to finish your work by next month, please communicate your concerns with your partner(s) and the mods as soon as possible. You can find all extension and amnesty information in our Schedule and Process post.

Incomplete works, failure to meet the deadline, or a complete lack of communication with your team on and after your posting date will result in a participant's temporary ban from some cap_ironman events — for further details, read through our Defaulting and Participation Eligibility guidelines.

HOW TO CLAIM YOUR DATE

31 posting dates are available from 1st May to 31st May. Only two teams will be posting on any given day so that your Stevetony content is staggered for people to enjoy!

Before choosing the posting dates you will list, please make sure it will work for everyone on the team. You are required to have all works posted on your confirmed posting date by noon EDT so that you can send the mods the masterpost information on time. This means that if an artist is working with two creators (was double claimed), they will all post their fanworks on the same day.

Posting date claims will be run via a Google Form on a first come, first-served basis.

The Date Claims Form is linked here, as is the live claims spreadsheet that will show the claims happening real-time. The form will only open when date claims start, but you can access the link beforehand.

Your posting team is determined by the artist's CODENAME as given to you in the RBB matching email.

The person claiming on behalf of a team needs to know their CODENAME and 3-5 posting dates to list in order of preference.

Posting dates will be allocated in the order that forms are received.

Teams that submit forms where all dates listed have already been picked will be asked to resubmit.

Remember, only one person claims on behalf of their team.

Please find the Posting Date Claims Form here. It will open on Saturday, April 19th, 9:00 AM ET (what time is this for me?) and close on April 21th at 11:00 PM EDT.
Please find the spreadsheet for viewing live claims here.

On April 19th, teams will receive an email with their finalized posting date and additional information regarding their deadline.

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: Gen: background OFC/OMC, John Sheppard, Rodney McKay
Rating: Mature (for violence)
Length: 9462
Content Notes: Canon-level violence, explicit depiction of extreme pain. Killing of background OMCs. Briefly mentioned off-screen killing of a pet animal.
Creator Links: sadly, no. Rivier's LJ is locked now.
Theme: Outsider POV, Action/adventure, Team as family

Summary: see below

Reccer's Notes: This is the John Sheppard of The Storm/The Eye, in this story using cold ruthlessness to rescue Rodney from allies of the Genii. It's told entirely from the POV of an original female character, the wife of a powerful local man who's been complicit in capturing and torturing Rodney. John's taken her as a hostage to force Rodney's return, and we see the drama play out through her eyes. There's some great worldbuilding conveyed through her perspective, and her appraisal of John and Rodney is interesting. The bond between John and Rodney is intense but it's left unstated whether they're more than close friends and found family to each other. Beautifully written, gripping, and a great read, especially if you like a dark, fiercely competent John.

Creator Links:

Laughsalot3412
Theme: Outside POV; characters of color, competence, female friendship, polyamory

Summary: So, apparently Amy’s boss was part of a criminal gang.

Reccer's Notes:
Do you remember Amy Palavi, the waitress in Leverage's brewpub from The Broken Wing Job? This story follows her as she grows closer to the trio. It's an interesting perspective on them, and also she gets to have a really satisfying story of her own, interwoven with theirs. Her developing friendship with Parker (and to a different degree also Hardison and Eliot) is wonderful.

Content Notes:

Amy and her family are subject to a racist online smear campaign. Leverage does something against it.

Theme: Outsider POV, Happy Endings, Missing Scenes, Politics, Post-canon, Worldbuilding

Summary: It was practically fable around the office after that: Sam Seaborn, his old friend, and the state of New Hampshire.
-
Or: A story told in six parts by three people who remember the guy that walked out on his future in the middle of a rainstorm.

Reccer's Notes: It's unusual to tag a nominally 'our universe'-setting fic with 'Worldbuilding' but this fic does just such a stellar job fleshing out Sam's network of relationships through his time as a lawyer with Gage-Whitney into the future, it really deserves it! Every character here feels just so real and full it's almost hard to believe they're all OCs, and each provides their own form of comparison and contrast to Sam and his relationship with Josh. This really is a fic about that scene in particular and the way it is mythologised in-universe (because, really: what kind of romantic comedy climax scene even was that, even in canon?!), but by the end, the fic has also provided my current favourite depiction of Sam's career progression post-canon. It reads like such a labour of love, and the result is so impossibly satisfying. <3
