Title: Fifteen Hours
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ltlj
Rating: PG
Length: Medium
Brief summary: It's a road trip fic, if by "road trip" you really mean "traveling through space in a puddlejumper," complete with silly games and threats to turn the car around and the inevitable, "Are we there yet?" It's a great moment in time piece that shows us another side of life on Atlantis when a multitude of crises aren't imminent. The author subtly adds some very poignant moments, making this a weighty read disguised as humor.
Excerpt: "He hasn't moved in eight hours," Miko pointed out, her brow furrowed. "That is not normal."

"Probably not, ma'am," Benson agreed. "But he's fine. See." He drew his foot back and planted his boot firmly in the other Marine's ribs.

The subsequent explosion of movement and profanity made Simpson and Miko yelp and Rodney dance hurriedly out of the way of flailing limbs.

"Hey, settle down back there." Sheppard leaned out out of the pilot seat to look into the back. "Don't make me turn this thing around."

Title: Rodney and Cadman Go Down

Brief summary: Well, it's precisely what the title says: a fun bit of McKay/Cadman Duet aftermath (with a dash of McKay/Sheppard) that's weird enough to be worthy of Rodney. There's capture and torture, if by "torture" you mean "four star hotel accommodations" and then the cavalry shows up, only the rescuees are naked and not really in need of rescuing at this precise moment, thank you very much. And I love this Cadman, brave and silly and so very much alive. This is just the kind of post-Duet fic you've been wanting to read.
Excerpt: She let her pants fall to the floor, and Rodney could see that she was wearing pale pink bikini underwear, and he was fairly sure that those weren't standard military issue. Unless they were, and that gave him a very strange moment of picturing Sheppard in pink underpants, and god, why did his brain do things like that to him?

"So, remember how I lent you a hand that time?" she said breezily.
