My rec table.

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis - Rodney McKay
Title: Metamorphosis
Author: Nixa Jane, aka laytoncolt
Characters: Rodney McKay
Prompt: 37. Make-Up.
Rating: PG-13.
Length: short.
Brief summary: Rodney and John circle each other and then work it out post-siege.

“You miss me talking to my therapist?” Rodney asks distractedly. It doesn’t make much sense, but John’s mind works in mysterious ways.

John glares at him, and Rodney wonders what he’s said now—because he can’t do anything right since the city was saved. The Wraith were gone and things should be better, but he’s falling apart and there’s no quick fix for him. He doesn’t come with high powered shields.

John pushes past him, knocking into his shoulder and jarring him. “I miss you talking to me,” he snaps, and then he’s gone.

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis - Rodney McKay
Title: All of Eden
Author: Nixa Jane, aka laytoncolt
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, et al.
Prompt: 38. Kiss.
Rating: PG-13.
Length: short.
Brief summary: Rodney's reality hinges on a kiss.

John frowns. "I was shot," he says. "I had to be brought here for medical treatment, you wouldn’t let me go without you. Don't you remember?"

He remembers John laughing at the going away party, but now that John mentions it, he can hear a gunshot; he can even smell the blood and fear. He sees a gurney disappear through an event horizon, sparkling blue and clear.

It's funny the things he's forgotten.
