title: A Good Soldier

summary: The hard ground of M3X-729 was far from hospitable and the chameleon weather of the Laderan homeworld even more so.

Written for the 2009 McShep Match - Team War
Prompt: Carpe Diem

Title: Memento Mori (Seize the New Day)
Author: neevebrody
Pairing(s): McKay/Sheppard
Rating: NC-17-Adult
Warnings: Adult Situations, Language, Futuristic Earthside AU
Word Count: 21,400
Legal: None of these characters belong to me.
Author's Notes: Huge thanks and four vats of aged roos wine to my fabulous beta, mischief5 I could not have done this without her. The story is a homage to the old-school sci-fi of the '50s and '60s, and is very loosely based on one of my favorite stories, "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury.
Summary: The banging at his door woke him immediately. He threw off the covers as he became more aware and stumbled out of the bed, heart racing and chest aflame at the sudden intrusion of his sleep. Just as he reached the bedroom door, he heard a crash and heavy footsteps coming toward the hallway. Jesus, surely they hadn't started home invasions again. A flash of fear joined the emotional soup - he had all his work laid out on his desk, the file readers, and what if someone had found out about…

title: Neither Sleet nor Snow nor Rain, Rain, Rain…
author: neevebrody
pairing: John/Rodney
rating: G
beta: Unbetaed due to time – but please feel free to point out any errors.
summary: At some point over the last few years in this lonely town, before John had made it his home, Rodney had found himself longing for the day he'd get a package just like this one: a new destination, a new project, a new mission.

Note: This is part of the wonderful AU Dorie (sonadorita) created in They Say He Was on the Moon. If you're new to my journal and/or haven't read this story yet, you owe it to yourself to stop right now and go read it first. You will not be sorry and you'll get the background for this piece.

Written for ailurophile6 who bought me for the final Sweet Charity auction. The idea for this story came about way back during sheafrotherdon's e-card challenge but never really got off the ground. I thought it was a perfect fit here and I do hope you like it, hon.

Whoops, I failed to post the BJ Friday update yesterday, so better late than never...

The muse was quick and dirty or languid and sweet.

I'm excited because fredbassett posted her first McShep! Aftermath. She's a helluva writer in the Primeval fandom and I'm proud to have helped lure her into SGA. Let's just hope we get more, because she has a fantastic way with words.

perfica gave us a perfectly delectable little slice of heaven. And I hope she will favor us again soon, as well.

A lovely bit of desperation from goddess47. Perfect!

And chkc gifted us with a bit of Rodney's impatience. So Yummy, but so NSFW!

All of you know by now we don't have deadlines around here. If you want to play, it's never too late.

(I'm posting this at work, if I've got a link wrong or something doesn't work, please poke me. *waves*

Written for darkmoore. She wanted fluff, and while it's been so long she may no longer be in the mood for it, here is a little Christmas fluff with the boys at the Millers. I hope it fits the bill. Also, a huge thank you to darkmoore for being so patient while I finished other projects. I hope you enjoy your story.

pairing/characters: John/Rodney and the Millers
rating: PG
words: ~1,450
warnings/spoilers: none
legal: So not mine
notes: Many thanks to the wonderful velocitygrass for the beta and her insights
summary: His shoulders slumped as he absently fingered a branch of the aromatic fir like it was some sort of talisman that would grant him more time, or in the alternative, the right words to say.

This is the holiday drabblet (more than a drabble yet not quite a ficlet) I wrote for sonadorita. I didn't intend to post these, but Dorie gave her permission and that gives me another opportunity to rec her fic They Say He Was On The Moon, which my drabblet follows. It's a fabulous McShep AU piece and I do hope she writes more in this verse very soon. It's necessary to read that one first, but you won't be sorry. Then my little follow up will make sense.

This started out as one of my holiday drabbles, but then got way out of hand. So, in honor of mmmchelle's and melagan's call for a revival of Sunday porn... I give you my contribution for such a worthy cause.

title: The Opposite of Dreams
pairing: John/Rodney
rating: NC-17
words: ~1,500
spoilers: Slight mention of the events of 'Inquisition'
warnings: Possible metaphor abuse and, can there be schmoopy porn?
notes: Not beta'd so I get all the blame
summary: His answer was to sweep his hand across Rodney's shoulder and arch his hips. Opening his legs wider, he said just one word, "Please…"

( The Opposite of Dreams... )

title: I'll Wait
pairing: McKay/Sheppard
rating: NC-17
words: ~2,000
warnings/spoilers: none really, see kink
kink/prompt: orgasm denial, wrist restraints
notes: Special thanks to my lovely beta, sonadorita. (I hope I fixed the beginning) I tinkered afterward, so any mistakes are all mine.
summary: "You remember what we talked about… about bringing each other to the edge, then backing off…"

Written as part of kink_bingo, (amnesty) orgasm denial
This follows my previous story, Like No Other, but it's not necessary to read that one first.

( I'll Wait... )

This is the result of a poll melagan posted a few weeks ago, the gist of which was : How would John react to everyone but him touching Rodney? They're offworld. The natives find McKay very, very "touchable". They find excuses to touch his arm, shoulders, hair, brush against his thigh and the very bold covertly touch his ass.

My answer was: "John is jealous because Rodney looks so comfortable with touch, unlike yours truly. He's only keeping an eye on things just in case it gets out of hand. Really." Comment porn ensued and I kind of dressed it up a bit, fixed some typos and submit it here for a little Sunday afternoon enjoyment. So, enjoy!

Title: Allure
Pairing: John/Rodney
Rating: NC-17
Words: ~1,550
Legal: So not mine!
Notes/Warning: Just a bit of porn - also unbeta'd
Summary: He'd silently hoped Rodney would decline the Tarkans' offer, but then, there was the opportunity to just sit there while villagers fondled him - Rodney was all over that.

This is the full version of a comment written as part of the Anniversary ficlet tree celebrating one year of mcsheplets . One year! It seems like just yesterday I was posting a fic for the first challenge there. Please go over and add to the tree. Your responses are limited to what you can get into a comment, not just drabbles, so after reading go take a look. There are only a few entries so far and there's a week left to play.

Pairing: John/Rodney
Rating: G
Words: 1,200
Spoilers: Missing scene for The Shrine, so definitely for that episode. No warnings.
Legal:  So not mine, of course.
Summary: He looked away, out over the black water emblazoned with two silvery stripes that stretched their way toward the pier. He concentrated on that shimmering light as more images started to pour forth

Written for the #26 Challenge - Last over at mcsheplets

Title: The Last Word (when you see with my eyes)
Author:  neevebrody
Characters: John, Rodney, Jennifer
Rating: G
Words: ~3,000
Spoilers: This does run along a theme of the The Shrine, but I can't really call it spoilery for that episode, but possible spoilers for Last Man.
Beta:  velocitygrass beta'd this even though she doesn't usually read this type of fic. Your thoughts and approval really meant a lot to me, hon, thank you so very much.
AN/Warnings: Believe it or not, I had this story in mind for a while before The Shrine. It's loosely based on the film, The Final Cut, with Robin Williams. Character death is mentioned but the death does not occur in the fic. I feel I also have to warn there is mention of Rodney and Jennifer and marriage. It's also angsty and hurty, but still full of McShep love. I realize I've just talked everyone out of reading it… but I hope you'll give it a chance.
Summary: He's already late, yet he sits, kneading the steering wheel. John Sheppard, big hero. He's faced countless enemies, but none as formidable as his own fears and insecurities.

Title: Convince Me
Word Count: ~600
Pairing: Joe/David RPS
Rating: G
Warnings/Spoilers: RPS, partner/spouse betrayal (yes, I went there)
Legal: This is a work of total fiction, never happened, only in my own warped mind, written for my own entertainment.

Rating:  NC-17
Warnings/Spoilers:  AMTDI, some angst, no spoilers
Word Count: 6,800
Notes:  I have to first thank berlinghoff79  for a truly awesome piece of art as my prompt.  Her original art was such an inspiration.  Next my lovely and hard-working betas: girly_curl_3 and ozsaur, who went out of her way today in our marathon beta-chat!  Woo Hoo, what fun!  Seriously, this story is what it is because of their wonderful suggestions and hand-holding - some of which I ignored, so all mistakes belong to me.

Well, here's another challenge ficlet that ran away with me, in which there is kissing and John and Rodney find each other somewhere between the skin and the script.

Pairing:  McKay/Sheppard
Rating:  R
Word Count:  6,100
Spoilers/Warnings:  None really.  Writing on skin, but not in a kinky way.
Legal:  So Not Mine!
Notes:  Special thanks to my lovely betas girly_curl_3 and velocitygrass for being so fast and so wonderful.  As usual, I tinkered so all mistakes are mine alone.
Summary:  "Your jocularity knows no bounds, does it, Colonel?" Rodney said as he pulled off his shirt.  "Simple.  Like I said, we take turns.  I write a word on your back, you have to guess the word.  You don't guess it—that's a point for me.  You get it right—that's a point for you.  We can keep score in the dirt—"

This was originally written as a fluffy piece for the Intoxication challenge at mcsheplets, but it grew an actual plot and then just--grew.  I hope you like it.

Pairing:  McKay/Sheppard
Rating:  NC-17
Word Count:  call it 7,400

Notes:  I need to thank keefaq for the speedy beta and for her wonderful thoughts and suggestions.  Trust me, this is better because of them and since I tinkered - a lot - afterward, any mistakes are all down to me.
Summary:  It wasn't the sex, or the idea that he was about to have sex, that had Rodney reeling, had every nerve ending in his body at Defcon One and blood banging through his head.  He'd had sex before and it was nothing like this.
