[trobadora]

While some authors are making the most of their extensions and your mods are trying to catch up with their inboxes, here's some more entertainment!

Until the posting period starts, we're presenting you with the entries for five prompts from McShep Match 2008 each week. Take that as your cue to start reading - for distraction or inspiration, for procrastination or for killing time. :)

This week's prompts are:

• Quiet on the Set by fractalreality (Away Team) [PG-13]

walk the plank

  Warnings: Takes place after 5x01: Search and Rescue. Small casting spoiler for season five.
  Summary: Rodney McKay has an opinion on everything, including whether, in times of crisis, John Sheppard has any business risking death. Answer: no, don't be utterly stupid, what kind of ridiculous half-wit are you anyway?
• Here Be Monsters by tzzzz (Away Team) [PG]
  Pairing(s): McKay/Sheppard
  Warnings: None
  Summary: Listen well, younglings, because this is not a tale for those of weak appetite. It is a story of adventure, romance, history, but most of all, it is about freedom.

rolling stone

• The Distance between Two Points by tex and lamardeuse (Home Team) [NC-17]
  Pairing(s): McKay/Sheppard, Sheppard/Nancy, Sheppard/OMC

• Wing and a Prayer by sgamadison and the_cephalopod (Home Team) [NC-17]
  Pairing(s): McKay/Sheppard
  Warnings: None
  Summary: It was going to take more than a pair of ruby slippers to get them home this time. It was going to take all his ingenuity, a lot of careful plotting and some of John's infamous luck...

red letter day

• See You When I Get There by lilac_way (Home Team) [NC-17]
  Pairing(s): McKay/Sheppard
  Warnings: none given
  Summary: Rodney McKay was in a pretty good mood. He'd been able to replace his ruined backpack, he had a new Prada jacket, and he'd gotten a seat on the El. If the AP physics class was less stupid than usual and he got a chance to talk to John, it'd be a red letter day.
