I don't remember anything about where I ran across them, sadly. In the first one McKay had to be locked up for his own good after Teyla and some faceless military character try to have their way with him forcefully. The pheromones thing is apparently something that happened to him as a result of a "birthday present" fed to him on some alien world. The more serious sequel goes to some really dark places with Sheppard/McKay, but it's quite well-written.

Matt, I know which story you are talking about. I can't remember the name of it,but I think the author wrote both versions of the story, I know I've seen it on someone's rec list (not crack_van), but I'd have to hunt for it when I get home.

someone's initial comedic "The alien pheromones make Mckay irresistible" fic?

I remember it, but not who it was by or what it was called. At least you're not making it up in your head though, right? I'm helpful.

I found it!

It was written for the slave challenge on sga_flashfic. Zoe Rayne wrote both of them:

Icing on the Cake is the original fluffy version [link]

and

Strange Attractors is the darker version [link]

Oh, yeah, I did read those.

It's kind of hard to remember individual stories in a binge sometimes, you know?

I, um, just posted to the wank. This will come back to haunt me, I suspect.

Probably not. It's not like anyone's leaping forward to defend the poor deluded child. I mean, look at her userinfo. Ann Coulter fan, bad speller, Christian, homophobe, high school student. (What's telling is that the bad spelling is as much a crime to the other people on the internet as anything else...)

I feel kind of sorry for her, in a way. She's going to come back to all those responses, and go, "waaah, the Internets were mean to me!" And she'll be right. Sure, she brought it on herself, but.

I only remember it because I read the darker version first and didn't realize there was a fluffy version until I saw the rec for them both.

Since my friend EJ wants fic and doesn't have internet access at home I'm trying to get her stories to read so I've been looking through rec lists lately, I flagged those two as not for her. She's the Sam/Jack fan, she prefers het to slash, butwill read SGA slash. Her fic wishlist is: Sam/Jack, Sara/anyone (but Catherine) for CSI, Cameron/House, Abby/anyone (NCIS), and some West Wing pairing, also River/Jayne only for Firefly.

Thanks askye! It was driving me crazy trying to remember.

Askye, I assume you pointed her to my (very short) list of reliable Sam/Jack writers? It's basically the folks on Nandamai's flist, and nobody else. And Nanda just posted a great Sam/Jack, a followup to "Salvage".

Oh, SGA rec: CGB (aka Mandysbitch on LJ) wrote a kickass plotty Atlantis story that spins away from canon near the end of season 1. It's also McKay/Sheppard. It's linked right off her LJ.
