Entanglement, As Well as Valor

My prompt table is here

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney McKay
Title: Entanglement
Author: linaerys
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, Kolya, Caldwell
Prompt: AU
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic
Brief summary:

A fantastic AU of the classic Hitchcock film Notorious, written for the reel_sga challenge. Just post WWII, John Sheppard is the estranged son of a convicted Nazi spy and Rodney McKay is the government scientist who recruits him to spy against his father's associates in Brazil. John is captivating as the dissolute and loose-living Miami rent boy, but it's Rodney, awkwardly out of his depth in both his personal and professional relationships with John, who gives the story it's emotional center. linaerys does a terrific job of adapting Atlantis characters and technology into the plot while keeping the story very much grounded in it's post WWII setting.

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney McKay
Title: As Well as Valor
Author: trinityofone
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard, various OCs
Prompt: Anger
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary:

Rodney McKay was a quiet child, polite and deferential, careful not to take out his frustration with their slowness on those around him. trinityofone takes a fascinating premise and turns it into a richly revealing backstory and recounting of Rodney's evolution from a scrupulously well-behaved child prodigy into the loud-mouthed and acerbic genius we all know and love.
