Paging Colonel Sheppard, by Quasar

[Tiptoes in, peers around] Not closed yet? I made it? Well, 8000 words isn't very flashlike, but I started writing on Friday when the deadline was extended. I've had this one in mind for a while but didn't think I could get it done in time. But I did, so that's . . . sort of flashy?

Title: Single Handed
Author: Quasar
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: McShep
Warnings: gore, kink, oblique mention of child abuse
Spoilers: Set around the first half of second season (but messes up the timeline).
Length: ~5800 wds
Summary: An offworld accident changes Rodney -- forever?
Author's Note: I started writing this for the sga_flashfic "Secret Superpower" challenge, then I got hung up writing the climactic sex scene and wrote another entry for that challenge instead. This story shares a thematic background with that one, and also has similarities to a story by Blade Girl for the "Body Modification" challenge (title left out to reduce spoilage).

Phasing Out, by Quasar (Secret Superpower challenge)

I was working on a completely different (NC-17) superpower story which shares a few features in common with this one, but it bogged down somewhere around the sex scenes. Then this one came together with the greatest of ease. Maybe I should give up on writing sex.

Title: Phasing Out
Author: Quasar
Length: ~2000 words
Pairing: McShep preslash/UST
Rating: PG
Summary: Rodney has a secret.

Ronon paused halfway across the mess hall, narrowing his eyes at the man sitting close to Teyla.

The stranger looked up. "Oh, hey man! Teyla's telling me about how you spent a few years on your own trying to avoid the Wraith."

Ronon slid his tray onto the table. "A few."

"She says you're awesome at tracking in the woods, like you can see the smallest trail sign. And your hearing is really sharp, too?"

Ronon shoveled food into his mouth.

"Listen, I've been studying enhanced senses. There was this book by Richard Burton -- the explorer, not the actor --"
