Yeah - he used to defend himself with ideas and principles, firing words when others were firing zats and AKs. He's a lot more all-round capable now, and probably needs the good shag for a different reason.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've been through PolyRecs too, though not BSO or Barkley's yet. Though I read My First Stargate Story, and now it's really hard to not see every Jack/Daniel story like that. I'm less in favor of the Woobie!Daniel and more in favor of Competent'n'Snarky!Daniel.
Now I guess I just have to start watching the show! Ahh, slash, you are a gateway drug.

Well, he used a gun and a staff weapon in the movie, and fired guns quite a few times in the first season (although usually a handgun instead of the... guns which are not P90s that they used to use). I feel obliged to point this out because there is a faction that seems to think he was once a pacifist. Social scientists aren't all wooly-thinking liberals with no spines.

Me too, frankly. I find competence attractive, and my favorite Daniel to write reads pretty competent. But I like Jack a lot more than Daniel, anyway: Daniel's not my shiny object, even though I end up writing him a lot.

He wasn't a pacifist, but he was an idea man more than any of the rest. Gritty reality still isn't his strong suit, but the fuzzy edges have worn off.

Oh, sure. He was more of the talking guy than the shooting guy. Still is, unless we're talking about, say, Anubis or any of his friends and relations. Goa'ulds in general, say.

Are there any eps in Stargate Atlantis that are particularly slashy for Sheppard/Mckay?

"Hide and Seek" in the first season was probably the start of the subtext, although I think it's strongest in "Sanctuary" even if it's roundabout and one-sided there. I've yet to hear a convincing argument for why McKay took such a strong interest in Sheppard's flirtation with Chaya and correspondingly strong dislike for her that doesn't involve jealousy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I sort of wonder if it's spillover from Sentinel fandom, with Pacifist!Blair. Even though Blair once actually knocked a vending machine over on someone.

Hide and Seek, The Defiant One, The Siege (1-3), Trinity. Off the top of my head. And I've forgotten the name of the one with the collars, but that's totally worth a viewing on its own...merits.
Edit: And of course, Sanctuary. Hee.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

It doesn't have to be specifically sexual jealousy, though. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's plenty slashy.
