Remedial Gun-Holding (and Other Survival Skills) (3270 words) by out_there

Summary:

"They need the training we originally planned for them," John says, sweetly sarcastic. "That you vetoed."

"Now that we're no longer in danger of being trapped behind doors that won't work, suffocating from a lack of clean air while the city crumbles around us and sinks into oblivion, I think that training would be a good idea. Feel free to go ahead with it now. You have my blessing." Rodney knows he's being obnoxious but he doesn't particularly care.

He cares even less when John's mouth twists into a smirk. John looks away, like that'll hide how amused he is when Rodney's the right kind of obnoxious.

From the Drabble Meme last weekend. (I was going to wait until I'd finished them all, but since the SN ones are the only ones outstanding, I'm going to post them in fandoms.)

For scribewraith: Some Days (SGA, Zelenka)

( Sometimes, Radek has slept well and will humour McKay; other times, he will sit at his desk and mutter Czech curses under his breath. )

For scribblinlenore: "The Pot Calling the Kettle--" (SGA, McShep, prompt: kiss and make up.)

( Carson had Rodney McKay and John Sheppard in his infirmary. Having those two constantly within hearing distance made reading -- or just thinking -- extremely difficult. )

This is seperis's fault. It had something to do with the merits of characterisation. *shrugs*

Title: The Fruit That Tempts Us
Fandom: SGA
Spoilers: None, really.
Summary: Because Rodney is -- above all else -- practical, he leaves and doesn't taunt himself with what he knows he can't have.
Rating: R
Disclaimer: I don't own them, I make no money from them.
Notes: A short sequel to Back to the Old Ways, written at aurora_84's request. Unbetaed so all mistakes are totally mine.

Title: Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: Rodney/John
Rating: NC-17
Disclaimer: The boys aren't mine.
Authors Notes: Originally started for the Harlequin challenge, but certainly not finished in time. It's an AU, so no spoilers. I completely blame Patrick Swayze and Dirty Dancing for this. Thanks to mecurtin for a careful beta and scribewraith for listening, prodding and offering editing solutions as I wrote. Without those two, this would be a lot shorter and make far less sense. ETA: also thanks to kmousie who has discovered my lack of knowledge when it comes to the possessive apostrophe.

ETA: Now also available in audio form, thanks to hack_benjamin22. How cool is that?

Summary, courtesy of delurker:
Life is great for Dr Rodney McKay, a research theorist at Berkeley. He's managed to arrange it so that he sees students only rarely, and he's getting laid frequently by fellow MENSA member and ecology professor Christine. What more could a man want?

Unfortunately for Rodney, it turns out that Christine wants more. Faced with her demands that he learn to dance or she'll dump him, Rodney turns to John Sheppard: part-time dance instructor and full time bank-teller, with a dream of becoming a pilot.

John's supposed to be teaching him how to waltz, but Rodney's learning a lot more than that! But what will happen when the music ends?

Continued in Part Two

Title: A Regular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: John/Rodney
Summary: When stuck in a time dilation field, Rodney learns Mad Ninja Skillz.
Disclaimer: Not mine. So not mine.
Authors Notes: Crackfic, obviously, and written for spaggel and slodwick who totally promised art in return. Thanks to justabi for betaing.

Title: Puddlejumper Paranoia
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: Gen
Notes: Written for seperis. Apparently, I'm all about the short'n'easy drabbles at the moment, given this story and the SN ones yesterday. Can we tell I'm procrastinating about fixing the WTF wip?

( Puddlejumper Paranoia )

Title: The Holiday Season
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: John/Rodney
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Pshaw. Like I'd ever claim to actually own them.
Summary: John suffers a series of Christmas misadventures (and he's sure Rodney's to blame).
Notes: Thanks to mecurtin for betaing.

( The Holiday Season )

Title: The Chart
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: John/Rodney
Summary: Rodney misses John more than Cheetos and cappuccino muffins.
Disclaimer: Dude, even the chart wasn't my idea.
Notes: Inspired by spaggel's drawing here but too long for a comment-drabble (just over the character count). Unbeta'd and flufftastic.

( The Chart )

Title: Nightmares
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: Rodney/John preslash, I guess.
Summary: Rodney's the type of kid that won't sleep from nightmares and won't tell anyone.
Disclaimer: They still aren't mine.
Notes: I totally blame this on seperis because she posted a kid!John wip and made me wonder why I never wrote up my kid!Rodney idea. So I did. And now I want to curl up in bed and cuddle Rodney until he falls asleep. (Also, unbeta'd.)
ETA: Now with an incredible cover by tardis80.
ETA2: And a fantastic, gleeful sequel by reccea, Find Your Way. *twirls*
