I have not yet run across any McShep fic in which Rodney can play hockey, is actually rather good at it, and in which the unexpected sight of him all done up in pads, jersey, and skates while wielding a stick sends Sheppard into an existential crisis.

Damn shame.

In search of a Stargate Atlantis Fic

So I need help finding a story and would be externally grateful for any help if anyone has even a crumb of info they could offer!

The story is a Stargate Atlantis fan fic It’s about Rodney not being treated very well by his team and friends (I think he did something or his complaining has reached their limits 🤷‍♀️) so he’s sent off world with a different team as a sort of punishment I think. Anyways he wasn’t feeling the best from how the others were treating him, his self esteem was plummeting I think. I think Rodney and another scientist were deciphering texts on walls in some room. Rodney’s soon left to work by himself inside at one point and I think the team gets far away from the ruins when a wraith dart appears out of no where. They run to get back to the gate essentially leaving Rodney behind ( the leader telling him to stay put in the room), their weapons have no effect on the dart and they end up going through the gate. Rodney in panic runs out of the room and through the forest, losing his backpack at one point I think and maybe twisting his ankle. He doesn’t make it to the gate in time and has been left behind. Before he can get to the gate the dart appears and he has to run away from the gate, as he’s running he turns around to see where the dart was and misses the fact he was coming to a cliff and falls off it down into a rushing river. He gets swept away and constantly fighting the current from pulling him back under and half drowns before he washes up in the forest.

When the SG team arrived back without Rodney Sheppard is not happy at all and rails into them for leaving him behind. The dart is a big obstacle for them when they try to search for Rodney and eventually they were able to find his bag in the forest and two people tracked him to the cliff. I think he was thought dead.

Anyways in Rodney’s POV he has to survive in the wildness while making a slow track back to the cliff he fell off. He’s suffered many injuries like a injury to his ankle, injuries from all his falls and being slammed into rocks in the river. He has to fight predators in his survival as well I think. His other medical issues that he always tells everyone about but no one takes seriously start to effect him. By the time he gets back to the gate he’s barely able to stand and stay conscious.

Rodney’s a different person when he returns, his kicked down self a esteem has effected him as much as all the obstacles he faced in surviving. He does something I think with the DHD so he could send a message through to Atlantis so he could get back without his device to send his code through. He arrives back and doesn’t complain about his injuries so no one realizes how critically injured he was until I think he collapses on his way to the infirmary and he’s rushed to surgery. Rodney’s on deaths bed and the team are shocked as he didn’t say anything at all in the gate room which is very unlike Rodney who complains over a paper cut. When he’s awake afterwards it’s very clear how much this mission changed him and their actions before affected him. And that’s where my memory leaves off.

I have a sneaking suspicion the fic is on Fanfiction.net but I’m not 100% sure. So if anyone knows this fic or the author or even what site it was on would be very much appreciated! 💙

Aug 12, 2008 - "A spoof of the trailer for Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog I made featuring Dr. Rodney McKay from Stargate Atlantis.

Thank you so much to everyone who's watched this - it made the #1 spot in SFX magazine's "Videolink - The Best Of YouTube And Beyond" for October 2009!

Special thanks go to Mr. David Hewlett for adding this to his YouTube favourites - the fangirl inside me is flailing with geeky joy."

Thinking about McShep again. Thinking about the season 4 finale. Thinking about how things fall apart in season 5. Thinking about how John thought he needed to let Rodney go be with Keller because that's what future!Rodney did, completely missing the fact that it only happened because John was gone. Because one of the main pillars of John's character is his self-loathing, so of course he would interpret it as being in the way. And even though John is resolved to let Rodney go it's still so hard for him that he struggles to do it cleanly throughout all of season 5. Thinking about the sad tension in their relationship after the season 4 finale. Thinking about how they still lean on each other in important moments even with the new awkward distance between them. Thinking about McShep again.

FIRST RODNEY MCKAY STARGATE APPEARANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[trainofcommand]

I'm just gonna call this post: Major Lorne Looking at Dudes in Certain Ways - Part 2 (see Part 1 here)

Let's do this!

You know when you're out on a maybe-quiet planet, and you're with your friends, and your buddy has your back, and you turn around and see your CO, and you think, Damn, my CO is hot? Yeah. We've all been there, Major. We get it. And we understand that you can't control that eyebrow. It has a life of its own.

Sometimes you have to look for a while. And your expression changes while you're looking. Maybe your CO notices. And has to look away, grinning a little, because he's feeling bashful, and yes, he thinks your smile is cute, Major, but also is now really the place to be exchanging these looks? Try and resist until you get back to the city. Or at least until the chance of Wraith darts ruining the moment is lower. Just try, you two. Try.

OK, let's switch it up a bit. A major can't stare at his CO all the time. It'll get awkward, plus I hear that other people might get jealous. No one wants tensions @ work, right? So, here he is, sharing it around, making Rodney feel included. What a great coworker! Super for morale, really. Great job, Major!

But sometimes if it's not one scientist, it's another. And when you're looking at him, you can't help but kind of...stick your tongue out a bit. For reasons. Reasons that are about...stuff. And things. Major, we appreciate your reasons, and so does Radek.

Oh, hey! Speaking of COs, what about that time way back when you also sometimes had to look at your old CO on some naquadah mine planet? Awww, it's a show of...respect or something. What a great guy you are to command, Major!

Ooops, back to your current CO! Things are confusing and people are starting to act strangely and also forget stuff, but you want him to know that you respect him a lot and will not forget him, and if Ronon would just leave the two of you alone for 20 minutes, you could definitely prove that your memory is still intact. About some things, anyway. And you're not talking about your facility at filling out Form 127-B: People are forgetting things and shit is getting fucked up. Obviously.

I'm not even going to put any kind of coy wording for this one. Because he's looking at Radek's ass. That's all there is to it. Looking, and appreciating. Frankly, they all are. Though Colonel Carter and Lt. Colonel Sheppard look a little skeptical. But Major Lorne doesn't. He knows what's up. And what's up is Radek's sweet, sweet ass. We see the twinkle in your eye, Major!

I caught this little half-second tidbit in Toa of Rodney. When Rodney is telling Elizabeth he's come to terms with dying bc he doesn't think he can ascend, it cuts briefly to this almost empty lemon jello thing. Bc of course Rodney would use his moment of superhumanity to eat lemons

[stargatebarbie]

For the guessing game, “duck”? :P

I ducked out to survey the cave we landed in, and when I came back…

Send me a word, if it’s in my wip document I’ll answer your ask with the sentence that it appears in!

Set somewhere in a Stargate Atlantis Season 4 alternate universe, Daniel ends up on Atlantis under Sam's leadership. We get some pretty typical Daniel stuff, but there are also some surprises. We get to see a depth of Sam's character not previously seen. Jack's influence on them both becomes more and more obvious as time goes on. With the help of Pegasus flora and, maybe even a nudge from Atlantis herself, Sam and Daniel find that maybe being more than friends isn't a terrible thing at all.

  Note: There is absolutely no non-con/dub-con in this piece. That's the sex pollen twist.

Happy 19th Birthday, Stargate Atlantis!

On July 16th, 2004, the pilot aired. Here's a handy little primer for anyone who doesn't know what the heckity heck this show is about. Everything is totally accurate, 100% true and very, very serious.

So.

This is the lost city of the Ancients, Atlantis, in the Pegasus galaxy, about 3 million light years from Earth. (The Ancients can go fuck themselves. Long story.) Atlantis is a city/spaceship approximately the size of Manhattan. She's semi-sentient, but not really, except actually yes, maybe, sometimes, totally. The whole city can go underwater or into hyperspace. Loves her humans. Home. Declaration of independence imminent.

The Atlantis expedition consists of civilians and military from at least 34 countries (in later seasons, the original expedition was just over a dozen). In no particular order:

Dr. Elizabeth Weir. The first leader of the expedition. The only adult. Sometimes. Okay, not very often. Is not above a little war crime for the good of the galaxy—or at least, for the good of Atlantis. Left a boyfriend and a dog on Earth, but we all miss the dog more than the boyfriend. Eats UN representatives for breakfast. Is terribly awkward on dates and really good at solitaire. Loves her chaos children. Which are:

Lt. Colonel Suicide Mission John Sheppard. Walked through the Gate and Atlantis said, "dibs". Thinks people who don't want to fly are crazy. Not good with emotional stuff. (He's getting better.) Loves his found space family and would die for them, often literally. Stop that. Also loves Ferris wheels, things that go fast, and Rodney McKay. And no, we don't know how he gets his hair to go like that.

Dr. Meredith Rodney McKay. Four degrees, two of which are PhDs, none of which are in social skills. Smartest man in two galaxies. Used to be an asshole, but got himself some friends who loved him such a stupid amount that he had no choice but to change. Still a work in progress. We love to see it. Blew up three quarters five sixths of a solar system. (It was uninhabited.) (Mostly.) Deathly allergic to citrus. Loves fully charged ZPMs, arguing with Dr. Zelenka, MREs, and John Sheppard.

Lieutenant Aiden Ford. Went ass first through the Gate with a grin and a whoop on his very first trip. One of the youngest members of the expedition. Is not allowed to name anything, ever. Mild case of hero worship when it comes to his commanding officer, which is totally understandable. A cautionary tale of how addiction messes up not only you, but the people around you.

Ronon Dex. Used to be hunted by the Wraith, lost his people in a terrible war, and is now a member of Sheppard's team where he gets to shoot things and beat up bad guys. Doesn't talk much, but when he does, he has something to say. Good friend. Excellent hugs, but have Carson check you out for any cracked ribs after. Is one bottle of Athosian wine away from staging an intervention regarding the Sheppard/McKay situation.

Teyla Emmagan. In possession of the team's one brain cell. Leader of the Athosian people. Will rock a baby to sleep and then go outside where a Wraith is dangling from the highest tower of the city and stomp on his hands until he falls 800 feet. Can either beat you up in the gym or force you to meditate on your problem, your choice. Has the aforementioned bottle of wine ready and loaded.

Dr. Radek Zelenka. Keeps the science team sane because Rodney sure as hell doesn't. Loves pigeons, cursing in Czech, and overseeing the thriving black market underground economy that has developed in the city. (Thanks @shaddyr for that lovely headcanon). Zachránil všechny naše zadky víc než jednou.

Chuck the Technician. Aggressively Canadian. Doesn't have a last name, doesn't need one. Is ALWAYS in the control room, seriously man, when do you sleep? Reads trashy sci fi novels on night shifts and organized a betting pool in 5 different currencies when Ronon was fighting Teal'c. Needs to share his eyelash routine because we're jealous.

Dr. Carson Beckett. The most Scottish Scot to ever Scot. Brilliant medical doctor who is not above the occasional unethical unorthodox treatment method. Sweet cinnamon roll of a man. Beloved by all. Loves his mom and wee baby turtles. Someone should take him fishing soon. 🥹

Colonel Samantha Carter. Member of SG-1. Legend. Awesome. Boss. Absolute BAMF. Punched a Goa'uld system lord in the face once. We all have a crush on her.

Dr. Jennifer Keller. Is very doctor-y, for better and for worse. Was all of us when she freaked out being on an alien planet for the first time, like a normal person would. Should totally have gone on a date with Captain Vega in that one deleted scene. [WE COULD HAVE HAD IT AAAAALL]

Jeannie Miller. Rodney's sister. Gave up a career in science to be a mom. Solved Rodney's math problem in her spare time, with finger paints. Loves her brother even when he's being an idiot. Fanfic canon says: her house is always open for him and certain Air Force Colonels to crash in. Don't you dare get a hotel room. Yes, the guest room has Only One Bed, Mer, what's your point?

Major Evan Lorne. If you are a moron and get yourself captured and imprisoned off world, he will swing by real quick with a couple Marines and bust you out. Co-parents Atlantis with Dr. Weir. Is actually a really talented painter. Needs a raise, a holiday, and a drink.

Colonel Steven Caldwell. Grumpy. Has to deal with Elizabeth's chaos children on a regular basis. Will make the enemy ship go away with a big boom and save your sorry ass in space. AGAIN.

Richard Woolsey. Used to be a New York City lawyer, one of the most ruthless creatures in the universe. His wife got the Yorkie in the divorce. Broke his heart. Is actually pretty cool if you let him do his thing (like get you out of an intergalactic war crimes trial by bribing the judges).

I know some characters and all the villains are missing, but this post is already longer than a trip on the Daedalus, so there you have it.

Stargate Atlantis. A show about wormholes, life-sucking aliens, ancient civilisations, space battles—and family, friendship, allowing yourself to love and be loved, and what it means to be home.

Happy birthday, fam.
