Romance
As a writer, I'm capable of writing in a variety of genres from historical to science fiction but one thing I can't seem to do is keep the romance out of my writing. I adore being in love and there is nothing more amazing to me than bringing two characters together and creating a world where they can come together and fall in love.
I write a lot of series work for fan fiction and by far the most romantic series (in my mind) is What Might Have Been. Lately I've been working on the novel follow up for that series (Ring of Fire) and honestly I've been putting off finishing this book because I know it's the last time I'll probably write a full on novella/novel for this series. I doubt I'll ever fully let go of this 'verse because as a writer I'm kind of in love with it. Maybe it's too sappy for words and the characters are larger than life but when I started writing it was because I wanted this big epic, surreal romance for John/Rodney and I'd looked around the fandom for a while and didn't find anything that exactly fit my want so I wrote it for myself. When I started posting it I wasn't even sure it was a series or what it was but then it turned into something really awesome and huge and a kid!fic which I don't even normally read.
So, what are the most romantic pieces of fan fic in the SGA fandom for you?

I really didn't notice the lack until you started writing so much romance; canon John and Rodney - the closest either has ever been to romance is when they sneaked peaks at women's magazines because somebody told them it would improve their dating techniques.
WMHB is the pinnacle, because really how does one top a first date on Mars? Tangled Destinies is really close though.
Is it cheating on the romance scale when your partner can read your mind and emotional state?
