Sheppard of the Sea by bluejbird (Folklore Challenge)

[bluejbird.livejournal.com]

Title: Sheppard of the Sea.
Author: bluejbird
Pairing: John/Rodney
Rating: PG
Word count: Just under 3000.
Summary: John Sheppard is one of the sea people who live in the waters surrounding Atlantis. He falls in love with a Lantean, but they cannot be together.
A/N: Inspired by the Maori legend ‘Pania of the Reef’. It was my favourite story growing up, and I would happily spend hours gazing up at her statue, much to my parents amusement (and relief). I recommend the story to everyone- a fairly good version can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pania
Disclaimer: I don’t own Stargate, Sheppard, McKay, Maori myths and legends, nor the story of Pania.

( Every day, John Sheppard would swim in the sea around Atlantis with his friends )

The Iliad of McKay by lady_lirenel

[lady-lirenel.livejournal.com]

Title: The Iliad of McKay
Author: lady_lirenel
Characters: McKay, others in Atlantis
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I do not own Atlantis or the Iliad, however much I want to.
Summary: Sometimes, Rodney McKay feels like his life is reminiscent of the Trojan War.
Author’s Note: I’m still working on another fic for this challenge, but this came to me when I was trying to figure out if I could fit McWeir in the challenge. This ended up somewhat SWAMA, but the pairing at the end is ambiguous enough that it could be anyone. Not betaed.
