Characters: McKay, Sheppard, Atlantis
Prompt: 45 - Trapped
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic (~15,000 words)
Brief summary: Warning: Non-consenual issues.

Another version of sentient Atlantis. (I have a thing, can you tell?)

Why didn't I pick one of the million "locked in a small space" fics? How about, because so few of them are plausible. This uses a whole different perspective on the word trapped, but it is, to me, the epitome of trapped. (Someone is forcing you to do something and you *can't* tell that it's happening.)
