I must be the only one who didn't love The Game. I just found it unlikely, considering that such games take long hours to play and they've been running around with no down time due to constant threat since they arrived. But it's canon, so I deal with it. All the goofing off just looks like typical guy stuff to me, nothing indicative of a deep friendship.
I can't really argue chemistry b/w actors, b/c what I see may not be what you see and vice versa. But what little airtime Carson and Rodney get (and actors campaigned for as much as possible b/c they love working together), I did see a deep friendship. YMMV, but I think they did show us. At least as much as the Gateverse writers are capable of showing - I got used to them over the years of watching SG-1, and they're not always good at showing and not telling.
Sadly, I have no recs to speak of. Like you say, the big pull for much of the fandom was several big names who were already into the Sheppard/McKay, and you guys got all the good writers. I don't really go looking for fic anymore, mostly b/c SGA fandom just isn't very much fun for me. I'm biased too, so I just stay in my little corner and write my reviews and such, just to save my sanity ;)
