Why This Must Be Read: The great thing about SGA is that people can write any sort of crack, and often do! In this story the team run into a bemused Clark and Bruce offworld, due to a space-time continuum glitch. John and Rodney's reactions are hilarious (as are most of the science department's) especially after they learn that in Clark and Bruce's DC universe, Stargate: Atlantis is a TV show! The ending is excellent, and illustrated! A fun read.

Dept. of New KPop Obsession

Because of Course There's Another Group to Love
They're Ateez, from a relatively small KPop entertainment company, KQ. They have eight members, all of whose names I now know, and who I can now identify (and amongst who I have my biases). They don't have quite as much creative control as Stray Kids, but because they're with a small company, they do have more control than many other groups. They've been around only slightly less time than SKZ, and members of the two groups are friends (they all competed in Legendary Wars, which isn't a thing I need to bother y'all with.)
I love their music, and I love their music videos. They have so much fun, and have, apparently, such fun in making sure their MVs are ridiculous ... and they sing and dance just ... well, I'm not going to fangirl too much. Instead, I'm going to bother you with at least three MVs. "Bouncy," and "Work," which came out in 2023 and 2024 respectively, and "Ice on My Teeth," also out in 2024. They have a metric ton of lore, but I'm not going to bother y'all with that, either.
Just enjoy the crazy, and the dancing, and the acting, and the music, and the knowing humor of it all.
And then there's "Work"
And finally, "Ice on My Teeth"

Author’s summary: When John rubs a magic lamp-- "Magic?" squawked the genie, flapping its incorporeal arms. "How many times do I have to tell you that magic doesn't exist? Oh, you made a wish, did you? You can't just wish for something that's expressly against the laws of physics and have it come true just like that! It can't happen. Oh," it said, with an exaggerated incorporeal sigh. "We're in a story. That, apparently, makes everything okay. So go on, tell your stupid story. I bet no-one reads it. Magic and wishes? Pah!"
Why This Must Be Read: This is the best fairytale crossover-ish fic you never knew you needed, with everyone perfectly in character and Rodney as the ultimate non-genie genie of all time. It'll have you laughing all the way through to the unexpected, delightful ending and never fails to brighten your day. It's plain and simple crack-tastic—worth every read and reread!

Why This Must Be Read: This is a chapter in a White House AU torakowalski played with, where Rodney and John are part of the West Wing crew and in a relationship. John's a speech writer and Rodney, worried about the number of death threats he's received, arranges a bodyguard for him. You can guess who! It's funny and a distraction from current goings on, and they're very much in character.

Author’s summary: After John and Rodney drunkenly sleep together, John is horrified, and Rodney is hurt. Their attempts to repair the friendship may be in vain, as both their strategies only seem to make things worse.
Why This Must Be Read: This is an absolutely outstanding fic! From the summary alone, it promises a deeply emotional story of heartbreak and sorrow, but also a tale of true love, with all its burdens and grace. Assured by the happy ending tag, the story takes you with Rodney—alternately with John—through anger, angst, grief, frustration, intrigue, and jealousy. But it also offers hope, insight, understanding, reaching out, realization, and ultimately, triumph and fulfillment—capped off with the hottest ending ever.
So, if you enjoy stories that shatter your heart alongside Rodney’s in a roller coaster of emotions and then piece it back together with a passionate, hard-won, breathtaking happy ending, this fic is for you!
