Looking for beta-reader(s) for several McShep stories of varying length
My Extreme Big Bang contribution this year will be a McShep anthology with the theme (and title) "Life-Changing Encounters". I'm looking for one or more beta-readers for the following stories. I'm primarily looking for spelling, grammar, semantics corrections, but any and all other suggestions/comments are welcome as well. The stories range from 3k to 35k words.
Falling for the First Time
35k. NC-17. Teen AU. [Underage sex] John is confused about his sexuality when the new guy at school befriends him. This fic follows his journey as his relationship with Rodney develops from friendship into more and as John struggles with his father, his sexual orientation, coming out, and ultimately his future.
Disqualified
29k. NC-17. Sentinel/Guide AU. What begins as a one-night-stand ends as a struggle of a sentinel and a guide fighting to have their bond acknowledged because the SGC forbids sexual or romantic relationships in sentinel/guide pairs.
The Fallen Star
15k. R. Medieval-ish AU. [Death of wild animals/hunting] John hasn't exchanged more than a few words with his neighbor McKay, but when the latter sets out to locate an object that fell from the sky in the dangerous forest, John offers to accompany him.
Course Correction
5k. Light R. Contemporary Stargate AU. Rodney has a midlife crisis and contacts Sam Carter after having turned down the SGC's job offer years before. When they call him back to help during an emergency that threatens the world, he meets Colonel Sheppard. It soon becomes clear that he'll have to make a decision between his old life with his wife, Jennifer, and the SGC and John.
The Pianist and the Pilot
4k. Light R. Contemporary non-Stargate AU. When Rodney's car breaks down on the way to a concert, Rodney enters John's favorite bar. A one-night-stand turns into two, which turns into much more.
The Other Truth
3k. PG-13. Dystopian futuristic AU. [Pre-Slash/heavily implied McShep] Years after the surveillance state fell, John recalls the day his life changed, the day he faced Rodney McKay.
