| Title: Making Right Author: Santa Recipient: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) moon_destinyPairing: McKay/Sheppard Rating: PG-13 Author's Notes: thank you to my wonderful beta, who provided such great insights, as well as her usual comma-wrangling help! Summary: . . . and since introspection's for the fucking birds, for the shrinks, for Nancy's friends, for that one guy who liked quoting poetry during sex, it's not surprising he stumbled over this without really knowing he wanted it, without acknowledging he'd been pulling Rodney's pigtails for four goddamn years. ( Making Right )

| Title: Growing Pains Recipient: propinquitine Pairing: McKay/Sheppard Rating: PG Disclaimer: Stargate belongs to MGM etc, not me.

| Title: Cakewalk Author: Santa Recipient: writing for linziday Beta: the incomparable _inbetween_, who is responsible for most of the hurt Rating: PG Pairing: PG Summary: Ep tag to the Return Part II: Rodney wanted John's first mission after his return from Earth to go well.

| Title: Meeting of Minds Author: Santa Recipient: lilyfarfallaPairing: John/Rodney Rating: NC17 Words: 19,950, give or take Spoilers: There is reference to Last Man, but no reference to the canonical end of the series. So, either between those two somewhere, or AU sometime after Last Man. Not otherwise AU. Warnings: So, there is a thing in here which I expect if I leave completely and totally unwarned, a few folks would feel unhappy about it; however, I can't figure out how to warn for it effectively. [ It is not, though, any of the things that are among the most likely to trigger (it is not rape or abuse or anything like that). It could, though, be perceived as an uncomfortable kind of deception. If you as a reader really need to know more than that and don't want to wait for reveals or rely on others to tell you, feel free to leave a comment to that effect, and I'll explain via anon PM or via the mods or something.] Author's Notes: This has maybe less team than the recipient could have hoped, although there is some. Thanks to L and E for lightning-fast above-and-beyond beta services, and to the mods for patience. Summary: So, let's see: the world is gray, there's no sound, Rodney can't find John or Teyla, and Ronon is evidently moonlighting as an accountant. Yeah, this is going to be a good day. ( Meeting of Minds - Part 1 of 2 )( Meeting of Minds - Part 2 of 2 )

| Title: Dreams Are Never As They Seem Author: Santa Recipient: darkmoorePairing: McKay/Sheppard, implied Mckay/Keller Rating: R-NC-17 Word count: ~3,000 Disclaimer: I do not own Stargate: Atlantis or anything to do with the Stargate franchise. I only wish to play in their playground. The title is taken from the song "Fireflies" by Owl City. Author's Notes: The request called for a McShep first time angsty fic with a happy ending. Unfortunately, I took this as a pinch hit and only had three days to write it, and when I took the challenge, all I had to start off was McShep angst, so I came up with this. It's not first time fic, darkmoore but I hope you like it all the same. I tried to get the angst in there, and there's definitely a happy ending. I don't really know how the sex scene went though, as it was my first try. Sorry this isn't very long, but if you end up liking this, I would be more than willing to expand on this with a prequel or sequel if you so wish. I hope you like it either way, and happy holidays! Summary: It's the twentieth time that John Sheppard has found himself in a cell, but it's the first time that his faith in his inevitable rescue has failed him. ( Dreams Are Never As They Seem )

Disclaimer: They’re on my wish list but Santa hasn’t delivered. Author’s Note: Post-series, sometime after Atlantis has returned to the Pegasus galaxy and everyone’s settled back in. Also, in my world, clone!Carson is back permanently and shares CMO duties with Keller. Just in case it’s confusing; the first two parts are from John’s POV and the last is from Rodney’s.

Thank you so much momma_66 for the beta and brainstorming help! Summary: This wasn’t like he’d simply been turned into a girl. That might be a little cool, for a while.

Author: Santa Recipient: ryslerPairings/Characters: Gen, although references to an old, in-canon relationship / McKay, Sheppard Rating: PG Summary: "I'm here because I received a phone call at midnight from Jennifer, who, by the way, works at the damn hospital where they'd taken you, telling me that you'd been seriously hurt, so I get halfway to the hospital when she calls and tells me you'd checked yourself out. And here you are, at home, in your..." He frowned. "Are you naked under that thing?" Author's Notes: Recipient wanted post series, Earth-based, angst, hurt/comfort, humor, and other things.

| Just a reminder to all of our fabulous pinch hitters (except for the pinch hit reassigned today ::g::), your stories need to be with us today if at all possible. Last day of posting is scheduled for tomorrow and it will save the pair of us a last minute panic if we have them in time to code. If this is going to be an issue, please let us know either by mailing one of us or commenting here. Comments are screened.
Thank you!
For everyone who hasn't had a story yet, this doesn't necessarily mean it had to go out to a pinch hitter. We've been trying to ensure that we've posted a mix of different pairings and genres each day, as far as we can, as well as a mix of story lengths, so if we've had pinch hits in, we've posted them before now and we've kept some stories back to try and maintain that mix. | |
|
| Unfortunately, one of our assigned pinch hitters has had to bow out due to a medical emergency, so I'm looking for someone who can produce a story at very short notice.
Details: John/Rodney, established relationship or first time, pining John or Rodney with jealousy would make the recipient's day, but gen/friendship story welcome as well.
If you think you could do something with that prompt in the next 24-48 hours, that would be absolutely fabulous. Unfortunately, I'm busy pinch hitting myself at the moment for another exchange (serves me right for thinking nothing could go wrong at this point! ::g::), and given that I rather stupidly slipped on some ice and sliced my right palm open today, I know I'm not going to be able to do two :(
So if you could make someone's Christmas, we will love you immeasurably.
Comments are screened, and thank you in advance!
Got someone! You're all fabulous :)
