[fiercelydreamed.livejournal.com]

Title: Rebuilding Babel
Author: the_drifter (fiercelydreamed)
Summary: He wondered if this was how it felt to go crazy -- you didn't lose your mind, it just stopped synching up with the world around you. The Pegasus galaxy makes Rodney an expert in what he can survive without.
Details: 21,000 words, Sheppard/McKay, adult/explicit. Spoilers through S2.
Notes: Huge thanks to secrethappiness and cathexys for betaing (thoroughly and within time constraints -- man, but they're kind people), and to cindyjade, shaenie, and celli for audiencing. Also, two counts of thanks to cesperanza for using the prompt and for extending the challenge deadline.

( This was where Rodney buried his face in his hands and thought, oh my god, my city's survival depends on a guy who can't quit flirting with the knick-knacks. )

( Radek was still fighting him and Elizabeth had clicked onto the radio, her voice demanding, Sheppard was sprinting down the corridor and Rodney ignored all of them for the moment, because they were running out of time in two ways at once and there couldn't be any mistakes on this, they had to get it absolutely right. )

Grammatology, by aesc (Wordless challenge)

Title: Grammatology
By: aesc
Characters: John/Rodney (implied), other
Ratings/Warnings: not much. PGish
Disclaimers: So not mine.
Summary: Lost words, lost time, lost city.

Notes: Though the idea for this came some time ago, I've spent a lot of my time lately reading things like "We're pretty sure Author X knew these other authors, but we can't tell for sure because the texts don't survive or there are no manuscripts we can definitely say Author X had in his possession," and this is kind of... Well, yes. Part wish-fulfillment :>

Many thanks, as ever, to sheafrotherdon for audiencing & encouragement.

(NB: "Grammatology" here is the study of writing systems.)
