Fic: Beasts of War and Burden (McKay/Sheppard, NC-17)

Title: Beasts of War and Burden
Author: [livejournal.com profile] taste_is_sweet
Recipient: [livejournal.com profile] tarlanx
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard; Background het pairings
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 38,000
Disclaimer: Definitely not mine, though I do have a lot of fun with them.
Warnings: Graphic violence and depiction of injuries.
Author's Notes: I was lucky enough to get [livejournal.com profile] tarlanx! I've enjoyed her stories starring the myriad of actor David Hewlett's characters for years and was really happy to have the chance to give her something back this time. She wanted a McKay-centric story with angst, hurt/comfort, drama, action/adventure and humor, but mostly a plot. :) She also really wanted a story using one of the alternate universes from the TV series.

All I can say is that I tried very, very hard to give you the kind of story I thought you'd like, Tarlanx. (This fic is try number four, as a matter of fact.) I really hope you enjoy this!

Happy holidays! And thank you again for all your wonderful stories.

I also want to thank my Betas of Awesome: [livejournal.com profile] squeakyoflight and [livejournal.com profile] anna_bird. You both are hugely appreciated, as always. Any inadvertent goofs or suckage was put in after they went over the story, and are entirely my fault.

Summary: "Oh my God. We've landed on fucking Pern."

Wow! Just...wow. I love reading about dragons, but this version of them was rather heartbreaking (and painful sounding). I love that you used two different AU's, that neither one of them were a part of "our" universe. And Lorne! I love fics with him in it ♥

John and Rodney's relationship was so sweet too. I love that John didn't give up on Rodney, didn't say that he couldn't handle his significant other being a dragon. They are so wonderfully in love~

So much love for this!

There happens to be a Lorne-centric sequel, if you're interested. ;-> (http://community.livejournal.com/sga_santa/324296.html)

Thank you! Your comment really made me smile and I appreciate it very much. :D ♥ to you, too!
