Stargate Atlantis Secret Santa 2012

Title: Breaking the Mold
Author: snowglow1275
Recipient: hyperfocused
Pairing: McKay/Keller, McKay/Sheppard, very vague mentions of Sheppard/OFC, Sheppard/OMC, and McKay/OFC
Rating: R
Warning: Bodyswap, discussion of menstruation with possible PTSD implications, does slash really need a warning?
Disclaimer: They’re on my wish list but Santa hasn’t delivered.
Author’s Note: Post-series, sometime after Atlantis has returned to the Pegasus galaxy and everyone’s settled back in. Also, in my world, clone!Carson is back permanently and shares CMO duties with Keller. Just in case it’s confusing; the first two parts are from John’s POV and the last is from Rodney’s. To hyperfocused, I’m not sure about this, it may be good but it’s also entirely possible this is the worst thing I’ve ever written so if it’s way off the mark and totally unchristmasy and not what you wanted at all please let me know and I’ll make it up to you. Thank you so much momma_66 for the beta and brainstorming help!
Summary: This wasn’t like he’d simply been turned into a girl. That might be a little cool, for a while. But just knowing this body wasn’t his, that it had an original owner, one that would be getting it back, made him nervous about how he treated this body.

Title: The Talk
Author: tzzzz
Recipient: theninth
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard, McKay/Keller
Rating: R
Disclaimer: I don't own SGA.
Author's Notes: The prompt was some combination of team friendship, action, adventure, non-schmoopy mcshep, Rodney/Jennifer, femmeslash, slash, funny, dark, and gut wrenching. I hope I hit at least some of those. Mild spoilers for Search and Rescue, Trinity, McKay and Mrs. Miller, Epiphany, Doppelganger, The Last Man, Miller's Crossing, The Storm/Eye, Tracker, and Tao of Rodney. Thanks to dossier for betaing.
Summary: Jennifer drags John along on a mission so they can talk about Rodney. Things do not go as well as she planned.

Title: Fata Morgana

Rating: PG-13

Author's Notes: Many thanks to yappichick, foxyinthecity, and wedjatqi. They were my saving grace. *smooch* THANK YOU...However, I've edited more since they looked at it, so all faults are mine. I'd also like to thank Alyse for her patience, kindness and understanding. Inspiration was simply not there and well, it came in a big whopping number at the very last minute. To starry_haze, I hope you like this because it was the only thing that came to mind. :)

Summary:This was the future, he kept telling himself. This was what it felt to be alive in a galaxy where miracles and wonders happened inexplicably on an everyday basis.

Author Notes: Oh dear lord this story got long!! I hadn't intended for it to be 60,000+ words, but the whole idea just wouldn't fit into a short story. So here you are, a Bigbang length Christmas present!
Summary: "And how, exactly, do I look at him?" he asked and knew asking was a mistake the second she arched her eyebrow.
"Like you want to rip his clothes off and screw him into the wall," she said.
Damn, she did mean the same looks.

Title: The Once and Future Kingdoms
Author: losyark
Recipient: aesc
Genre: Crossover, Drama
Pairing: post-McKay/Keller, McShep, Arthur/Merlin UST, pre-Arthur/Gwen
Rating: PG-13
Words: ~40 000
Disclaimer: Standard Disclaimers apply; this is a work of fiction for fun, and not profit or intent of profit is being derived. All recognizable characters and settings are the property of MGM and the BBC.
Author's Notes: I did a lot of peeking about my recipient's journal to get an idea of her preferences, so I hope this hits all your buttons, darling! Set post season 5 for SGA and up to episode 10 of season 2 for "Merlin", a retelling of Arthurian Legend centered on a young Merlin, reluctant manservant to the prattish Prince Arthur, and maturing sorcerer in a kingdom where magic is outlawed and difference scorned.
Summary: "I am Prince Arthur of Camelot!" the boy in the chainmail said. For a small, infinitesimal moment, Rodney considered losing it.

"Right, Prince Arthur, the Prince Arthur," Rodney scoffed instead. "And I'm Merlin."

The dark haired boy that stood a few paces behind his golden Prince cleared his throat. "Uh, no," he said, shifting uneasily from foot to foot, "Actually, I am."

Right, of course. Because this totally was Rodney's life.
