Author: ladyra
Characters: McKay, Sheppard, Atlantis, Weir, Kavanuagh, Zelenka
Prompt: 7 - Love
Rating: PG-13
Length: epic
Brief summary: Normally stories with sentient Atlantis deal with it's "crush" on John. In this story it develops a relationship of sorts with Rodney. This is almost character death, but not. At least 10,000 words. Fabulous.

Claim: McKay/Sheppard
Title: Edges
Author: rageprufrock
Characters: McKay, Sheppard, Weir, Zelenka
Prompt: 14 - Loss
Rating: G
Length: long
Brief summary: Character Death. Rodney-survives-John.

I think the thing that makes this story so poignant is that it addresses the moments after a loss that make it cut into you and hurt you all over again while also showing the moments of how life goes on after a loss that are only tangently related to the loss but yet are totally different because of it.
