Claim: Stargate Atlantis: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Title: Moka
Author: Martha (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Characters: McKay/Sheppard, others
Prompt: 44 - Mask
Rating: Mature
Length: Long
Brief summary: This story combines some of my absolutely favorite themes in fiction: mystery, horror, dawning realization, hurt/comfort, need, fear, friendship, and love. There's also a really cool culture -- the 'night people', great characterization and dialog, plus vivid imagery; all of it transforming a fairly standard idea -- Rodney liking coffee -- into a story that is absorbing and intense.
John awoke from his drugged sleep to see smoke rolling across the low ceiling to the furthest, darkest reaches of the vault beneath the pyramid. Groaning, he turned over and eventually managed to rock his way up to his hands and knees. By the light of stinking lamps, mere scraps of wick floating in shallow bowls of animal fat, he saw Rodney McKay stretched upon a stone platform. The Night People were doing something appalling to him.
John closed his eyes and his arms gave out beneath him. If there was a moral to the story it had to be never listen to a man with a monkey on his back.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Title: Lost
Author: Merry (merryish)
Characters: Sheppard/McKay
Prompt: 45 - Trapped
Rating: Teen
Length: Medium
Brief summary: This is a re-write of the SG-1 episode "Crystal Skull", wherein Rodney touches something that he shouldn't, and ends up being able to see the people and things around him, but not able to touch them -- and everyone in Atlantis assumes that he's dead.
"Hey," Sheppard says from across the room, "don't touch that crystal sk--"
He runs, dives, hits Rodney in the stomach with his head and wraps his arms tight around Rodney's middle. Except Rodney never feels the impact. He never feels Sheppard's arms around him, which leads to a brief flash of surprise, confusion, and regret. That would have been a pretty nice thing to feel.
Regret. That's the last thing Rodney remembers, before the lights.
