SGA thematic list: alien cultures and new non-human aliens

[ratcreature]

This SGA thematic list concerning aliens is divided into two parts:

1. stories featuring (human) alien Pegasus cultures prominently somehow (including the cultures of Sateda and Athos, the Genii and other canonical peoples), preferably if the culture is explored, but if one of the culture's aspects works as a plot device in an unusual way that's okay too, as long as the aliens are visible as having a culture in their own right. This excludes the "aliens made them do it" genre (for which specialized thematic lists already exist anyway) unless the focus is very much the culture and its reasons to require visitors to engage in sexual relations, rather than a "there was a random, irrational fertility ritual *hand-wave*, so John and Rodney have sex" kind. This also excludes any story in which Pegasus aliens only make a token appearance.


2. stories with new non-human aliens, i.e. not stories featuring canonical non-humans like the Asgard, Ancients, or the Wraith, which I feel is a different theme.

These are not recs, but a thematic list. I'll link gen stories as well as all kinds of pairings, but at least initially it's biased towards pairings I read, e.g. I don't read John/Elizabeth so I'll need others to point out stories from those corners of fandom fitting the list criteria to me. I decided to list the stories with the authors' summaries (if available) rather than listing what kinds of aliens appear in order to avoid spoiling the stories.

If you want a story added, your own or others, please comment with the title, author, pairings (if any), summary, a public link (i.e. no f-locked or community member locked LJ entries and the like), whether it's a WIP, and under which topic it'll fit, so that I can list the story.

ETA (August 16, 2007): The thematic list is now located on a separate website for easier maintenance.

1. stories featuring alien cultures

2. stories with non-human aliens

as I was going through and re-tagging these, I noticed that minnow1212 advertises http://minnow1212.livejournal.com/229040.html as the flipside of Reside.

Yeah, I've read that, but it's really more about the team reacting to the Wraith's destruction, no? We don't really get that much about the destroyed cultures in that one.
