Title: Dreams Are Never As They Seem
Author: amy_thrace821
Recipient: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard, implied Mckay/Keller
Rating: R-NC-17
Word count: ~3,000
Disclaimer: I do not own Stargate: Atlantis or anything to do with the Stargate franchise. I only wish to play in their playground. The title is taken from the song "Fireflies" by Owl City.
Author's Notes: The request called for a McShep first time angsty fic with a happy ending. Unfortunately, I took this as a pinch hit and only had three days to write it, and when I took the challenge, all I had to start off was McShep angst, so I came up with this. It's not first time fic, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] but I hope you like it all the same. I tried to get the angst in there, and there's definitely a happy ending. I don't really know how the sex scene went though, as it was my first try. Sorry this isn't very long, but if you end up liking this, I would be more than willing to expand on this with a prequel or sequel if you so wish. I hope you like it either way, and happy holidays!

Summary: It's the twentieth time that John Sheppard has found himself in a cell, but it's the first time that his faith in his inevitable rescue has failed him.

Fic: Meeting of Minds - Part 1 of 2 (McKay/Sheppard, NC-17)

[sgasesa-admin.livejournal.com]

Title: Meeting of Minds
Author: florahart
Recipient: lilyfarfalla
Pairing: John/Rodney
Rating: NC17
Words: 19,950, give or take
Spoilers: There is reference to Last Man, but no reference to the canonical end of the series. So, either between those two somewhere, or AU sometime after Last Man. Not otherwise AU.
Warnings: So, there is a thing in here which I expect if I leave completely and totally unwarned, a few folks would feel unhappy about it; however, I can't figure out how to warn for it effectively. [It is not, though, any of the things that are among the most likely to trigger (it is not rape or abuse or anything like that). It could, though, be perceived as an uncomfortable kind of deception. If you as a reader really need to know more than that and don't want to wait for reveals or rely on others to tell you, feel free to leave a comment to that effect, and I'll explain via anon PM or via the mods or something.]
Author's Notes: This has maybe less team than the recipient could have hoped, although there is some. Thanks to L and E for lightning-fast above-and-beyond beta services, and to the mods for patience.
Summary: So, let's see: the world is gray, there's no sound, Rodney can't find John or Teyla, and Ronon is evidently moonlighting as an accountant. Yeah, this is going to be a good day.

Beta: the incomparable _inbetween_, who is responsible for most of the hurt
Rating: PG
Pairing: PG
Summary: Ep tag to the Return Part II: Rodney wanted John's first mission after his return from Earth to go well. It didn't. (4200 words)
Prompt: linziday wanted a gen friendship fic where Rodney saves the day, gets injured because of it (physically, mentally, or both), and then much hurt-comfortyness ensues. I hope this works for you.

( You promised me a cakewalk, John said from somewhere beneath Rodney's back. )

Summary: "Sheppard, your plants are attempting to impregnate the Gate controls. I don't want to find little green wormholes skipping down the hallways any time soon."

Fic: Making Right (McKay/Sheppard, PG13)

[sgasesa-admin.livejournal.com]

Title: Making Right
Author: sheafrotherdon
Recipient: moon_destiny
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Rating: PG-13
Author's Notes: thank you to my wonderful beta, who provided such great insights, as well as her usual comma-wrangling help!
Summary: . . . and since introspection's for the fucking birds, for the shrinks, for Nancy's friends, for that one guy who liked quoting poetry during sex, it's not surprising he stumbled over this without really knowing he wanted it, without acknowledging he'd been pulling Rodney's pigtails for four goddamn years.
