Stockholm Syndrome (Tearing Down the House); Visual Phallacy

My table is here

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney McKay
Title: Stockholm Syndrome (Tearing Down the House)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mousewitchy
Characters: Rodney McKay, OCs, John Sheppard, Ronon Dex
Prompt: Loss
Rating: PG-13
Length: long
Brief summary:

A mission goes wrong and Rodney is lost. The Rodney characterization here is fabulous and nuanced, the gradual ease with which he falls prey to his doubts never feels false or rushed. As Rodney's perception and memory of events change over the course of the story it's clear that he's being subtly manipulated, but [livejournal.com profile] mousewitchy holds so closely to Rodney's pov that I still found myself sharing in his uncertainty, and totally able to understand why he comes to believe that he has not been lost, but abandoned, not kidnapped, but left behind.

Title: Visual Phallacy
Author: [livejournal.com profile] z_rayne
Characters: Rodney McKay, John Sheppard
Prompt: Discovery
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary:

Rodney finds a cool piece of Ancient tech, a variation on the Quantum mirror that allows him to observe other realities and, of course, uses it to watch and learn from the other versions of himself. He's expecting scientific insights, but what he discovers is something a whole lot more surprising. A wickedly hot bit of cross-dimensional voyeurism.
