Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney McKay
Title: The Education of Rodney McKay
Author: cupidsbow
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Katie Brown.
Prompt: 05. Sex.
Rating: R.
Length: short.
Brief summary: You've seen Rodney around women, right? He's flustered, he blusters, he overcompensates and falls apart. So John decides to help him out with that.

Rodney gaped at him. "You're seriously comparing teaching me to shoot with prying into my sex life?"

John smirked at him. "Do you have a sex life for me to pry into?"

The furious words died on Rodney's tongue at that palpable hit, and for a long moment a battle raged within his soul: pride duking it out with libido. It was a pretty even match, until Rodney was struck by the sudden blinding realization that John had women throwing themselves at him all the time. When it came to sex, all the available evidence suggested that John was one of the foremost experts in the Pegasus galaxy! At that point, Rodney's thirst for knowledge teamed up with his libido and the war was won, pride ending up stuffed into a small dark corner.

Rodney collapsed back into the chair. "If you're pulling some kind of crass practical joke, I swear to God, I will make your life a living hell until the end of time."

"What am I going to do?" John asked. "Tell the marines that I walked you through a sexual visualization exercise?"

Title: Rosebud
Author: Auburn, aka auburnnothenna
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, et al.
Prompt: 06. Anger.
Rating: R.
Length: short.
Brief summary: Rodney at the end of his life: spiteful and pertinacious, and with good reason.

The major had been assigned to make sure McKay didn't babble anything classified on his deathbed. McKay had the personality of a rabid viper, even in old age, and had bitterly assured the young major that he'd been keeping secrets since before the major's daddy slipped it to his mother for the first time. He'd added waspishly that he'd hated the military for forty-two of those years and he wouldn't be spilling the secret of creating a ZPM, either. It was going to the grave with him.

It had, too.

The major was of the opinion McKay had chosen his last word merely to confound everyone.

He was wrong.
