Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney McKay
Prompt: Drabble
Title: Control
Author: trinityofone
Rating: PG
Length: medium
Brief summary:

There's a fine art to writing a good drabble, and trinityofone has mastered it. This is a two part story, 24 drabbles in total covering Season 1 and the beginning of Season 2 through Trinity, told first from Rodney's pov and then mirrored from John's. Each 100 word section is tighly written, bereft of all extraneous words; and they're all the more powerful for their sparseness.

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney McKay
Prompt: Holiday
Title: A McKay Carol
Author: amireal
Rating: PG
Length: medium
Brief summary:

A refreshing antidote to all the "scrooge McKay" fic that seemed so popular last December. There's more than one reason why someone might not share in the Christmas spirit. As the author herself says, I don't necessarily see this happening on Atlantis, but I do see it happening in an aweful lot of holiday-themed stories. By telling the story from John's perspective, amireal shows us both sides of the situation, highlighting how easy it is to get so wrapped up in the holiday celebrations that we forget that not everyone shares are joy.
