Little Acorns by Feldman
I am not a fan of most pregnancy stories, even the ones that aren’t mpreg. Luckily, Little Acorns isn’t so much about Aeryn’s pregnancy as it is about her and John’s relationship. It’s long, well-plotted, and really, really good. I don’t know enough about the fandom to know if it’s in-character, but I liked it a lot.
And yes, I have succumbed to yet another fandom. This time, I actually saw the show first! I’m working my way through Farscape Season 1 as fast as I can download the episodes, and I am totally in love with Aeryn Sun. She’s so awesome. I can’t see this becoming one of my favourite fandoms, but I love the show and I’ll recommend a few John/Aeryn stories I’ve enjoyed.

Humour // R // Romance
Exigencies by Rivier
No slash at all. John rescues Rodney from imprisonment in a torture facility. Told from the perspective of John’s hostage.
He’s half the bulk of Calmoore, but something about this man makes her bodyguard look like an amateur, a fake. He smells of sweat and blood and metal and dirt, and a static crackle of nervous energy. He’s lean, and handsome, and she’s never met anyone so frightening in her life.

101 Ways to Get Lucky (In Love) by Lenore
AU. John is a relationship coach, and Rodney is a rich businessman who needs dating advice.
I’m not usually a fan of kidfic, but there seems to be a rule that kids in SGA fic are always made of awesome.
“Call him, call him now!” Rodney waved his hands wildly. “Tell him what an absolute emergency this is. If I’m going to be married before the stockholder’s mid-year meeting, I’m going to need professional help.”
“You don’t say,” Mildred said under her breath.
“I heard that!”
He was tempted to fire her, but he didn’t have complete confidence she’d agree to be rehired.

Foolproof and Incapable of Error by Neery
John turns on an AI in Atlantis. A rather creepy AI.
You are not of my people! she told him, her not-voice as sharp as a whip crack in his mind, and with that came the unspoken knowledge that his happiness mattered nothing to her, and his safety only insofar as he was important to John. And wasn’t that a fucking nasty shock to the ego?
