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. :)

Yay, TEAM! It's so nice to see a John/Rodney story that grounds their relationship in the gestalt of the team rather than focusing in on the McShep.

I especially appreciate the way this story treats the Rodney-Ronon friendship... it was a real balm after this season's crappy sabotage of it for the love triangle subplot. The way Rodney reassured Teyla about Torren, tying back to Rodney's experiences in The Shrine, was also lovely.

The whole thing makes me want to cheerlead for the sequel where they all go to Earth together. Because if that were anything like this, I think it'd be one of the best team-on-Earth stories around.

Thank you so much, because seriously, I couldn't have written this without all the pom poms! And yeah, I really wanted to get Ronon and Rodney away from the whole Keller thing because that just annoyed me like crazy.

And of course, as you already know, there will be a sequel; now I just hope it lives up to this one. :)
