"Paper Moon", "Falling Down"

Big Damn Table.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: Teyla
Title: Paper Moon
Author: Pares(kormantic)
Characters: Sheppard, McKay, Teyla, Weir, Zelenka, Jilan, Dandin
Prompt: 27 - Original Character
Rating: Mature
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Jilan and Dandin are actors, well-known to Teyla, who has seen their stories before. She doesn't explain how detailed the experiences are that Jilan and Dandin present, and Rodney and John learn more about themselves and each other than they really wanted to know.

The description and dialogue are wonderful in this story, and it's really the language that draws me in to this story, as it all feels very character-driven.

Title: Falling Down
Author: lyndac (lyndac)
Characters: Teyla
Prompt: 28 - Dream
Rating: R
Length: Medium
Brief summary: This isn't precisely a dream, but I think it's close enough to qualify. We get to see bits of Teyla's life, from childhood to the present, and what her friendships mean to her. Lonely and spare in tone, with great imagery, it takes very few words to tell a full story.

Claim: Popslash - NSYNC/BSB Crossover
Title: "I Feel Like"
Author: Northern
Characters: Brian Littrell, Chris Kirkpatrick
Prompt: Fandom Cliche
Rating: NC17
Warnings: //
Length: Short story
Brief summary: Brian is not gay. He does not know what exactly conveys "gay" in the real world. Chris is an experience equal opportunity lover. And in the end, JC's shaken up. Yeah, that about covers the cliche part of the picture. It's a cute and funny story that provides just enough sexiness without going over the top.

Title: "A Friend Thing"
Author: Lucy
Characters: Lance Bass, Howie Dorough, JC Chasez, AJ McLean
Prompt: Epiphany
Rating: PG
Warnings: //
Length: Short story
Brief summary: When one leads a busy life, one needs friends to get them through it. Lance and Howie have found comfort in each other's friendship but for Lance, that's all it is. But with a little help from a guy (what's his name again?), AJ, and JC, Lance realizes that maybe, just maybe, he needs something a little stronger than friendship.

"Not With Each Other" and "The Fool Might be My Middle Name"

Table here.

Claim: Nsync, JC/Lance
Title:Not With Each Other
Author:Tiffany Rawlins
Characters:JC, Lance, Chris, Joey, Justin
Prompt:Teamwork
Rating:NC17 for group slut action
Length: Long
Brief summary: This story, while being all about the groupslutfic, begins and ends with Lance and JC.  They've come so close, so many times, but it takes everyone to get Lance to take that final step.  Nice hot sex without being overly porny.  Plus, I have a total weakness for scenes where they really have to leave, they do, but they can't stop kissing and touching.  There's some nice acknowledgement of their history together, and all five guys are written so well.  Great story, as can be expected from Tiffany.

Claim: Nsync, JC/Lance
Title:  The Fool Might be My Middle Name
Author:jawamonkey
Characters:JC, Lance, Joey
Prompt:Denial
Rating:R
Length: Medium
Brief summary:  Lance might be in denial.  Or JC is, or someone, and everyone is lying about something all the time.  This isn't a happy story, but there's a hint of maybe something in the future.  I spent a lot of time after I read this trying to explain to myself why it happened the way it did, and it comes down to this:  JC is the nicest guy Lance has ever met, and everyone lies, all the time.

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, McKay/Sheppard
Title: Betrayal
Author: flordeneu/Andromeda
Characters: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Elizabeth Weir
Prompt: Angst
Rating: NC-17
Length: 2 short chapters
Brief summary: Amazing work by an even more amazing author. Betrayal's dark subject matter paints a grim picture and the almost obsessive depth of John's devotion to Rodney. Anyone who reads can feel the desperation in John and Rodney and others.

Prompt: Fluff

Wordless, The Glowing of the Shrew

[katydidmischief.livejournal.com]

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, McKay/Sheppard
Title: Wordless
Author: mmmchelle
Characters: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay
Prompt: Sex
Rating: NC-17
Length: Short
Brief summary: A highly erotic story. The interplay between John and Rodney is spot on for them and it's done while creating a very romantic mood. With reality mixed in, mmmchelle made a story that is soft and sweet.
Link to the story: Wordless.

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, McKay/Sheppard
Title: The Glowing of the Shrew
Author: Ellex
Characters: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Chaya, Carson Beckett, Elizabeth Weir
Prompt: Anger
Rating: NC-17 (5 Chapters)
Length: Long
Brief summary: While a humorous concept, Ellex has written a story that entails several genres including non-con of a stranger variety. Rodney and John sometimes fall out of character for me but it still has unique elements and a unique problem that makes it a definite read for everyone.

Characters: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Carson Beckett
Prompt: Friendship
Rating: K+ (PG)
Length: Medium
Brief summary: A story I came across a year ago, Rodney and John's relationship could be viewed as pre-slash but it is more of the relationship between the two as they recover from an illness. I keep secretly hoping gaffer42 will continue.
