Recipient:sheafrotherdon
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~55,000 words
Warnings: Angst, but I can guarantee a happy ending.
Spoilers: Set early in season 3, so nothing for anything recent.
Author's notes: Happy Christmas Cate! Thank you for your lovely multi-optioned prompt; I tried to encompass as much as possible - I hope you enjoy! Many thanks to my amazing betas - you know who you are - and tomoonlettuce and alyse for organising such a wonderful fic exchange!
Summary: "Hey," John said, trying to lighten the tone a little. "The IOA are getting better," he said, reaching across the bed to flick the little Canadian flag on Rodney's jacket before nodding his head towards Ronon and Teyla.
"Yes, well, I suppose so," Rodney sniffed. "It's not as if they could do without me, anyway."
"Or indeed any of us," Teyla added with a smile.
"Well, I hope you all realise that our success is entirely down to the exceptional talent and expertise of your team leader," John said.
"Oh, yes, of course," Rodney replied sarcastically. "We'd be nothing without you."

Date: 2009-01-02 10:01 pm (UTC)I love writing science into my stories, so it is truly lovely to hear that you enjoyed reading it and that it didn't detract from the story. The team interaction is also something I love to read, so again it is so nice to hear you felt that everyone worked for you. The relationships between the characters, between John and Rodney themselves, but also between the boys individually and the rest of the people on Atlantis, was something I worked hard to depict. Strong emotional storylines always captivate me in totally when I'm reading, so I am really pleased to hear you were drawn into the story and wanted to find out what was happening. I wanted to use the dual timelines so that I could bring John into the story throughout and so I'd also have the counterpoint of a happier 'past' to work with the angst-filled 'present' as the plot slowly revealed itself. I'm really thrilled that you enjoyed it so much; thank you.
