Title: Extreme Rafting for Dummies (Vacation Challenge)
Author: slybrarian
Rating: PG-13 for language
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Words: 2,165
Summary: Masaq' Orbital was famous for its unusually dangerous extreme sports, even compared to the rest of the Culture. Under normal circumstances Canda-Onteriasa Merdith Rodney M'Kay dam Tronto would never have anything to do with that sort of thing. Unfortunately, his partner John had other ideas.
Notes: This is a fusion with Iain M. Bank's Culture series, and draws several lines of dialog as well as the setting from Look to Windward. I highly recommend that you read it, although there's no need to have done so to understand this. No SGA spoilers and only teensy Culture ones.

( This is called a minimal-safety-factor sport for a reason. )
