Eternal Sunshine
by unlikely
McKay/Sheppard, R
~9000 words
Summary: Amnesia, loss or impairment of memory. It may be caused by organic disorders, such as brain injury or cerebral arteriosclerosis, or by functional nervous disorders, such as hysteria. Or, you know, by Ancient devices, such as the one which causes John to think he’s 21.
A/N: Veers off into the wacky at times, but I suppose this is consistent with the challenge. Post-Trinity.

eta: I previously posted the completely unedited version of this and was unable to do anything about it until now. I apologise; it's not that English is my eleventh language or anything.

(  Only the delightful kind of crack that is this challenge would kick-start me into writing SGA. There is even coverart )

Just squeaking this one in under the wire. The challenge hadn't closed yet when I started posting this...

Author: morena_donn
Title: Home is Where the Heart Is
Rating: PG
Length: 3854 words

Once again, huge thanks to my wonderful beta, brindel

Backcover blurb:

Home

For Rodney McKay, home is the humble farmhouses inhabited by his sister Jeannie and their friends and neighbors, the Becketts, a place best viewed with faint nostalgia, but from a distance. Married to his work, Rodney has no need for people, and hasn't been home in years.

For John Sheppard, home is his father's mansion, full of creature comforts but devoid of companionship, with the exception of his faithful personal assistant, Aiden Ford. It is a place John can't wait to escape.

When their paths cross, Aiden and Carson Beckett realize that love makes a home. Can Rodney and John make the same discovery?

Rating: G (this part)
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Summary: Rodney McKay's never had a problem with his image, but for the sake of his boss and the future of his company, he'll let himself be remade at the hands of John Sheppard. Though that's not all that he wants from John's hands...

Notes: The lack-of-speed with which I write is legendary in my own mind, especially when I have to keep stopping because the crackfic, it breaks my brain, so like a few people before me, this is just the first part. (Though I actually have it plotted all the way to the end, miracle of miracles. *g*) Adapted from this Harlequin plot summary.

"The Reluctant Lover" by dark_cygnet [Harlequin Challenge]

[dark-cygnet.livejournal.com]

TITLE: The Reluctant Lover
AUTHOR: dark_cygnet
CHALLENGE: Harlequin
PAIRING: Beckett/McKay
RATING: PG-13 couple of cuss words

NOTES: I'm not a writer, i just pretend to be one on the internet. This challenge looked so fun that I thought i would try my hand at it. I don't know how Harlequin-y it is but i enjoyed doing it. ::palmsface:: I think i turned Rodney into a girly man. Right now it's the back cover blurb and some excerpts from the 'book'. I plan on writing a full story for this soon. (God help us)

The lovely elspethsheir was kind enough to beta most of this for me, except for the lock scene. Anything that is good and right can be contributed to her, all the bad goes to me.

The Reluctant Lover

One year ago, Astrophysicist Dr. Rodney McKay had it all—a dream job with Alteran Industries, the grudging respect of his peers, a brilliant mind with the snark to back it up, and his pick of eligible bachelors. Only Rodney didn’t do casual flings…until he met Carson Beckett while on holiday in the Greek Isles. Carson is so tempting that Rodney couldn’t resist him. With the scorching heat between them, he agreed to a quick affair-or anything else-to get Carson in his bed. All too soon, he realized his feelings were becoming more than casual so he fled without telling Carson goodbye.

Now Carson Beckett is back in his life. Can Rodney hold out against the sensual Scotsman who enflames his senses, or will Carson convince him that the best kind of love comes after the commitment?

The Brendan Hypothesis (Harlequin Challenge)

[smittywing.livejournal.com]

Title: The Brendan Hypothesis
Author: Smitty
Rating: PG-13? (There is no sex? Where did my sex go?)
Pairing: McKay/Brendan Dean, McKay/Sheppard
Summary: Major John Sheppard looks exactly like Rodney McKay's ex-lover, Brendan Dean. The only problem is that Brendan died seven years ago and Rodney's quickly finding out that John Sheppard is an intriguing man himself.

A/N: I should be shot for this. My original idea for this challenge exceeded 10,000 words yesterday and I realized it was never going to get done by tonight, so I thought up this one, made up a cover blurb for it, laughed my ass off, and swore I'd never write it. But then reccea laughed too, and miss_porcupine and kerithwyn didn't stop me so...here it is. Fourteen pages and 5200 words later....

This is technically a crossover with Thoughtcrimes but I'm fairly certain you don't need to see the movie to read this. Brendan Dean was Joe Flanigan's character. Many, many thanks to reccea for what was literally an "on the road" beta.
