For the longest time I wouldn't read Fading Skies because I was never big on AUs before SGA. And missing out on that made me sad because I love disability fics. So, I gave it a try...and now I re-read that story about once a month. I love it.

Whereas in SGA, AUs are practically 1:1 with canonical fics. :-P And I love disability fics. Probably because they play very easily in with the whole hurt/comfort thing - which is definitely a kink of mine.

And it may've been you that I got the fic from in the first place. :-)

Exactly! I was talking to a fellow SH fan who is into SGA as well and was explaining how, even if you don't like AUs in other fandoms, in SGA it works because they ARE canonical. We've seen alternative timelines and realities and universes. I can count five McKays we've come across so far (Ours, Rod, DrownedRodney, CitrusRodney, and MillionaireRodney) with another one likely on the way. AUs aren't so far outside the realm of possiblity in Stargate because they DO happen.

Rodney and John (in canon) have been temporarily paralyzed with a Wraith stunner) and temporarily deaf (by the whales) so far. Is temporary blindness soon to follow?

Probably;) I did rec it in one of my rec posts not long ago.

I don't remeber the Drowned!Rodney or the Citrus!Rodney. Which episodes were they in? And the fact that SGA does explore at least some of the other possibilites makes it fun.

CitrusRodney was in Moebius (SG1)

DrownedRodney was in Before I Sleep (SGA)
