Title: The Stars My Destination (1/17) (link on LJ)(link on AO3--thanks, schneefink!)
Author: mad_maudlin
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis/Star Trek 2009 (mashup)
Length: 91,750 (total)
Characters: All of them!
PairingS: Canonical levels of Elizabeth/Simon, Teyla/Kanaan
warnings: Graphic violence
Summary: When a terror from out of time threatens the heart of the Federation, the crew of the USS Atlantis must band together in order to stop it. But can they overcome their own demons to stop the greatest threat they'll ever face?

my rec:
This is such brilliant, clever overlooked tale. The SGA/Star Trek Reboot fits together so well. The SGA characters going to Starfleet Academy, and eventually facing the big bad, won't be a surprise if you've seen the movie, but the eventual conflict is where the beauty of this particular fusion totally shines. Maud does a wonderful thing with the fusion in the latter half of the the story, completely organic to the SGA half of the mashup and I couldn't decide between holding my breath, or squeeing out loud. The absolutely wonderful title -- from Alfred Bester's classic novel -- seems random until the climax and denouement, then it becomes a thing of beauty, almost bringing said novel in as the third fusion.

I really appreciated the hard work went into this story, with the thoughtful blending of the 2 'verses, and a sensibility that reads like the best SF novels.

n.b. chapter 9 on DW has a bit of a posting oddity, just keep scrolling down past the doubling posting of chapter 8. Search for 'Nine'.

Summary: A brush with danger at home teaches everyone they still have a lot to learn about their new lives on Atlantis.

Title: The Bottom Line
Author: the_summoning_d
Rating: PG
Characters: Radek, with much mention of Rodney
Warnings: None
Summary: Five things Radek knows about Atlantis that Rodney doesn't

Why Rec'd: Radek's voice is excellent and spot on and so much of this fic is believable - in fact there's one bit I think should have been canon! Radek's insights into Rodney are brilliant too and there's a gentle humour throughout this fic, mixed with angst regarding scientists who died in canon.

Title: Hell in Moonlight
Artist: stella_pegasi
Characters: Team
Summary: "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes
Then look for me by moonlight
Watch for me by moonlight
I'll come to thee by moonlight
Though Hell should bar the way

Why rec'd? This is one creepy and very beautiful piece of art.
