Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney McKay
Title: Rescue
Author: tigs
Characters: Rodney McKay, Team, various threatening OCs
Prompt: Mask
Rating: PG-13
Length: short
Brief summary:

When the rest of the team is captured, it's up to Rodney to mount a rescue. Doing so requires him to bluff the natives, cloaking himself in a confidence that he doesn't really feel. tigs has a great feel for Rodney's internal voice and her characterization is spot-on. It's a short fic, but wonderfully revealing of Rodney's character and of how he's been changed by his time in the Pegasus galaxy.

Title: This Honour is Generally Bestowed Posthumously
Author: spike21
Characters: Rodney McKay, Ronon Dex
Prompt: Trapped
Rating: PG
Length: short
Brief summary:

Trapped in a Wraith coccoon at the end of "No Man's Land," Rodney turns to his favorite coping mechanism, panic. Rodney's alphabetic litany of death is, of course, hilarious, but spike21 uses it for much more than mere comic effect. Rodney's babble may sound hysterical, but in reality it's the only thing holding him together. Rodney's internal and external monologue are terrifically written, and Ronon's subtle baiting is wonderfully revealing of how well he really understands his most impossible temmate.
