ADMIN POST: The "Secret Superpower!!" challenge

I've been meaning to get this one off my desk; poor [livejournal.com profile] julad asked for this one some time ago:
Julad: can there be a secret superpower flashfic?
Julad: I think Weir needs one
Ces: er, yes
Ces: there can
Julad: invisibility would be v. kinky
Julad: john would be invisible
Julad: rodney would fly
Now, you don't have to go with Julad's choices, here--you can design your own secret superpower-- for good or ill, banal or extraordinary, literal or metaphorical--and give it to the character or characters of your choice (or hey--make them wish they had one!)

Today is August 2nd in Australia, anyway; stories are due August 16th at midnight.

Oh, damn you.

I'm just going to-- continue working on my seminar paper, like a good little grad student, and not think at all about the Story Where Rodney's an Empath. No, sir. Not one little bit.



Except-- except--

"Hey, okay, ow," said Rodney, cutting Weir off mid-sentence. "What the hell, Colonel? Could you please try to keep the manly emoting to a minimum?" He scowled across the table at Sheppard. "Some of us are trying to concentrate."

"Don't know what you're talking about," Sheppard said. His face was nicely blank, but the tips of his ears were bright fucking red.

"I'm talking about the tsunami-sized wave of longing that just about knocked me unconscious!" Rodney snapped, and then felt a wave of utter terror slam his cerebral cortex. "Will you quit that? I'd rather not die of a brain aneurysm today!"

"Sorry," John said, and stood up. "Excuse me," he said to Elizabeth, a pleading look on his face, and ran for the door.


I am So Doomed.

Please please please please please right that?

I think, after posting that tidbit, you are more doomed if you don't than if you do!
