Animal Husbandry by casspeach

[casspeach.livejournal.com]

Title: Animal Husbandry
Rating: R (to be on the safe side)
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Summary: Dr Rodney McKay is the new veterinarian in town, and his bedside manner leaves a little to be desired. Can his no nonsense love win the heart of lone cowboy John Sheppard, a man determined not to repeat the mistakes of the past?

Notes: Beta'd by z_rayne This whole thing is basically her fault because she would keep encouraging me, and without her cheerleading bullying and betaing this story wouldn't exist. I leave it to anyone with the stamina to get all the way through it to decide if that's a good thing or not, but I am hugely grateful for all her help and support.


Notes: Well this is about as far from 'flash'fic as a thing can get. 27,500 words give or take. The longest fic I have ever written, certainly the longest I have ever finished. I even had a plot outline, written out and everything. I'd be ashamed of how much time this took, but I'm shameless as it turns out. Fabulous challenge, and huge thanks to the mods for extending it. Link is to my website because of the ridiculous size of this monster.

Playing Dead by Grey Bard (Harlequin Challenge)

[grey-bard.livejournal.com]

Title: Playing Dead

Author: grey_bard

Pairing: McKay/Sheppard

Rating: PG-13

Summary: 200 years after the mission from Earth, in an Atlantis where the ATA gene is only a legend, people like John Sheppard are practically magicians . Of course, this has its own complications…

Notes: You know those long, long supernatural romance series where the heroine kicks demonic tail, and her love for the hunky hero never quite gets totally resolved despite vigorous boffing by the second book? Well, Harlequin does those too – and much to my surprise, apparently so do I.

Sort of.

Inspired by, and enthusiastically stolen from Staying Dead by Laura Anne Gilman.

Sadly the first part is going to stand alone here, because this is as far as I could get by tonight. Rest assured, though, that if more gets written, it’ll probably pop up over at Harlequin_SGA

Please be aware that this is intentionally written in the style of such books, as a lark. This in no way is my personal interpretation of the actual characters.

( Back copy )

( Part 1 )

Further parts, if completed, would certainly involve dastardly employers, Jack O'Neill - John's newly Ascended mentor who's never been the same since that brain-sucking device, more faux-futuristic technobabble, the culture of a Pegasus Galaxy cut off from Earth for 200 years, John's hopeless crush on his agent, Rodney's hopeless crush on the talent, Kavanagh the grumpy receptionist and an Asgard informant John insists on calling "Dick".

Fic teaser "Overdue South" by HYPERFocused

[hyperfocused.livejournal.com]

Call it a teaser, or a back cover blurb, but I just couldn't resist. (I bet you can guess where this will continue ;)

Daredevil pilot John Sheppard, once a Major in the United Stated Air Force, and now owner/ Pilot of Atlantis Air, is hired to fly world renowned Physicist (and all around pain in the ass) Dr.Rodney McKay to the coldest place on earth.

That is, if they can make it out of the second coldest place: Canada. Unfortunately, with John's plane's instruments failing, they could soon be as lost as his airline's mythical namesake.

All seems lost for our two unlikely heroes... until...

An all-knowing Mountie, a know-it-all Canadian Physicist, and two American men with experimental hair fight against the odds to brave the wilds of the Yukon in Overdue South.


Coming soon (I hope) to a similarly named and co-owned community near you.

Down on the Ranch by foggynite (Harlequin Challenge)

[foggynite.livejournal.com]

Squeaking in under the deadline here. Linked to my site since the file was too large for LJ. oops.

Title: Down on the Ranch
Author: foggynite
Rating: meh. PG-13 at the highest.
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Disclaimer: If I owned them (which I don't) there would be more boy snogging. Not that I don't love Peter DeLuise...
Notes: I was attacked by rabid plot bunnies and ended up with this. It's my first SGA fic, and unbetaed at that, so any concrit is welcome. Horse knowledge and support came from my pet Virtasquee and her ubercoolness, and thanks goes to moonblade85 for the encouragement. Any errors are my own, of course.

Word count: 17,990. This is the crackfic that ate my brain.

Astrophysicist Rodney McKay inherited part of the Circle A horse ranch from his uncle Marshall. No one expected him to want to keep it, especially the general manager, John Sheppard. Now, as the Rathe Land Development Corporation tries to buy up as much of Pegasus County as possible, John must convince Rodney to help him expose the corrupt conglomerate and bring his uncle's murderers to justice.

*NOTE: Temaris was kind enough to share a re-coded version! I hope this works for those of you who had difficulties before.

Title: Five Books That Never Got Written
Author: Claire
Rating: PG
Pairing: Weir/Zelenka, Beckett/Ford, Sheppard/McKay, Teyla/Ronon, Stackhouse/Markham

Math Camp, by Mel, [Harlequin Challenge]

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

Title: Math Camp
Author: Mel
Rating: PG only 'cause there's some swearing.
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Disclaimer: I borrowed everything. Sorry
Summary:John Sheppard remembers something he knows Rodney McKay doesn't. Will he ever share?

Notes: Based on the "They were friends/loves when children, and meet up as adults" cliche. And there's math camp. And. Stuff.

Thanks: Julad for sitting and laughing at me and going "Dude, comma" aka betaing. Also, first fic here. Hi.

Looking After Rodney by nishatalitha

[nishatalitha.livejournal.com]

Title: Looking After Rodney
Author: nishatalitha
Rating: R
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Summary: Canadian Dr. Rodney McKay is a highly successful physicist who works for the US Government. Accustomed to danger from his work, the threat from super-secret organisation WRAITH exceeds any he has ever known. Now he has to trust his life and his work to Major John Sheppard, a man he has just met. However, Rodney knows that his heart is in the most danger…

Successfully guarding Canadian Dr. Rodney McKay from the super-secret organisation WRAITH is the only way for Air Force Major John Sheppard to ever be allowed to fly again. Expecting a week of boredom and an absent-minded professor, John is surprised to have his attention – and his heart – caught by the genius.

Notes: Loosely based off the blue Silhouette M&B, although none in particular. I only joined this community a few days ago, and realised there was a story wanting to be written yesterday, so I wrote until I got bored. I haven't seen Atlantis, but I have read a lot of Harlequin. I found out about this challenge a couple of days ago, got the story idea yesterday, and worked out the deadline and time difference about two hours ago.

Cover art by tinnny: for 'Counterpoint' by nestra (Harlequin challenge)

[tinny]

Who knew I'd have to join this community once... :)))

I hadn't really planned it, but then the muse struck me and I just had to make a cover for Nestra's story 'Counterpoint'.

( (sex and) laughter and music - totally G-rated )

I hope I did the post right - tell me if I forgot anything.

Cover art

[maryavatar.livejournal.com]

This is cover art for a story that will never be written. At least, not by me. This challenge has had the same effect on me that it's had on all you guys, except I haven't had the time to write out all the rampaging story ideas running through my head. However... I did have enough time to make cheesy cover art for one of the 'it's eating my braiiiin' plot bunnies. ( Atlantean Amore )

Cover art: 'Searching for love' by Dzurlady (Harlequin challenge)

[dzurlady.livejournal.com]

After the challenge was extended for a week, I got bitten by a plot bunny on crack, and began to write. This is not that fic - there was no way I was going to be finished in time to post it - but it is the cover. 'Searching for Love' - a loving homage to bad romance covers everywhere.

With thanks to delurker for beta viewing it.
