ex gratia - done as a favor by
agentotter (J/R w/Sam Carter) - This is...god. It's everyone, bruised and bone-weary in that beyond-tired state when everything is simultaneously clearer and more mellow. It reads like a zen state, languid and sharp all at once.
Smart by
brighidestone - Part of what I love about SGA is that it unrelentlessly shows how out of depth the characters sometimes are; sometimes fics forget this, and I love that this one doesn't. Reads like a held breath.
The Scientific Method by
cupidsbow (j/r and various) - THERE IS NO WAY TO REC THIS WITHOUT SPOILING YOU ::flails:: um. yes. It's unspeakably wonderful and HILARIOUS, and you should have read this, like, yesterday. No seriously. Reads like a roller coaster, a little up, a little down, and you're dragged along and you can't think anything but "w00t!"
Proof by
devildoll (j/r) - angsting John, this is one of those fics where you as audience is just laughing at him because of John's freaking out. Reads like soda pop.
Polynomials and Fixed Points by
diluvian (j/r and others) - ::gigglefit:: "Atlantis does the math." Only, y'know, it's math by way of relationship calculus. Reads like a rainbow sorbet float on Sprite and vodka.
Pegasus in Flight by
luthien - wherein happiness comes in surprising ways, elegant and lyrical and lovely, reads like salt air against your throat, after you've been trapped too long inland.
Home Truth by
ltlj (Epiphany spoilers) - a beautiful coda to the episode, honestly lovely and wonderfully written. Fantastic characterizations all around and a little achy. Smooth and a bit bitter, reads like a fine wine.
Not Even a Little Bit by
lyrstzha - =D wherein Zelenka is "profoundly evil", I adore Zelenka and McKay friendship fics so much and this just makes me sigh in the happy. Reads like a fresh buttered mini-croissant, adorable and a bit crispy.
Quality Time by
mandysbitch (“Rodney McKay, as it turned out, was a complete slut.”) - wherein John's miffed that Rodney's on timeshare. ::gigglefit:: Decadently hilarious and reads like summertime bubbles.
A Little Learning by
laceymcbain ("John isn't dealing well with how he thinks Rodney is coping.") - wherein John's miffed that Rodney's...on timeshare. ::GIGGLEFIT:: These two stories are meant to be together. This reads like an everlasting gobstopper, it changes on your tongue but never stops being good.
A Not-So-Modest Proposal by
reccea - This is really enormously good and tremendously long. Seriously, have you read this yet? 'Cause you SHOULD, it's been recced long and often for good reason. Reads like a drunken evening spent with hilarious witty friends.

A Not-So-Modest Proposal by
The door closed and Rodney said, "We should get married."
John set his laptop aside on the bed. "I'm sorry?" It wasn't actually the first marriage proposal that John had received but at least before there had been warning signs and, hell, a basis. "Rodney, we're not even dating."

It's *such* and awesome fandom and show.
