Title: It's Growing Day by Day
Author: telesilla
Recipient: auburnnothenna
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard, mention of: Teyla/Kanaan, Ronon/various
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~27,500
Summary: During a routine mission to check out an off-world Ancient lab, team Shep is cut off from Atlantis when the stargate is buried beneath a ton of rubble. There's another way off the planet, but getting there will not be easy.

Notes: First of all, I want to thank my awesome beta, who went over this in record time. Without her help, this story would have been so very messy. Auburn asked for many things, but the one that stood out and made me write this story was: " either Sheppard and McKay, or the whole team, or even a larger Atlantis contingent, is marooned on another planet Swiss Family Robinson-style." This isn't quite that, but it's close. :)

oh, nice! I'm shocked that you were able to keep this down to only 27,000 words, it could have easily been much longer, but I think that is part of the draw of the story. We get the important things, the things that add to the understanding of the characters, what is important to them. I would have loved to see another 1500 words or so, on them cozying up to the sofas with the television turned off, or the stress involved in reintegrating, or ronon's knee! Is he a warrior turned poet permanently?

But, the essence of the story is their time together on the planet, and the lovely, lovely teaminess, as seen through rodney's excellent eyes. wonderful!

I really wish I'd had even more time, because I could have easily made the journey itself last another good 10,000 words or so. As for what happens next; well, I'm already outlining a sequel, although I can't promise when it'll be done. ;) So glad you liked it!
