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. :)

A wonderfully, long, fantastic story. I loved that it is John/Rodney but totally a team story as well. And what an adventure, walking an entire continent.

I loved how we get to know so much more about them, and they about each other, in their long trek. And Rodney's concern that his team (and John!) may wish no more of him after such a long time. And poor Teyla's breakdown over missing moments of Torren's life. All such good angst and showing the friendships between them.

I, too, would love an epilogue of their return, Teyla's reunion, and just their joy of the simple things like bathing or eating jello.

Thank you! It was really important to me that I not lose sight of the team while talking about John and Rodney, so I'm really pleased that it worked.

And yes, there is a sequel planned, just can't promise when it'll be finished. :)
