Rodney saves John

John has a crush on Rodney but realizes he's not the only one.

set AU & set after Tinity but during Condemed, Sheppard still mad a rodney for the Arturus Project mistake and is nasty to him on the planet, Torrell rapes rodney in front of his team-mates saying that he will kill Ronan or Teyla if rodney doesn't submit. Heavy rodney angst and hurt coz he's so goodlooking when he's abused. Comfort by jon as well.

rodney mpreg by jon (set in a universe where men can get pregnat like women)
jon rapes rodney coz of some chemical imbalance don't care how but rodney who is a barer and get preggers

mpreg-crossover-angst
jon and rodney have a child called Toni who at 3 months old is stolen by someone they trust (but not a major charcter, an oc, dont matter who)she looks like rodney but has jon's hair and green eyes. she taken in by some group from another fandom and looked after till she about 5yrs as they can't find her folks. in the end they do and it's happy endings all around.

set like the six season of charmed
rodney and jons second daughter comes back to stop her sister from destroying atlantis.

Write for 5 min. on how Sheppard and McKay got into a silly predicament involving a live squid. After you have finished revise and add on if you wish.

Include the line: "I think it's saying sqoosh, though I can't be sure."

[Challenge 3 by Lady Valmar]

Write for 3 minutes on why Sheppard happens to be on top of Rodney, with no shirt on. There has to be an onlooker who we are all familiar with.

For example it can be that Sheppard had a bug in his shirt or something and freaked out ripped it off and then Rodney happened to be coming down the hall bumped into Sheppard and Sheppard fell on top of Rodney right when Dr. Weir was coming down to ask Sheppard a question.

I Hope someone takes this challenge. You can use the example if you wish.

Its a christmas challenge

Atlantis has a secret santa pick

McKay gets Sheppard (sheppard doesn't have to get mckay unless you want to writers choice)

As a way to protect humans from the wraith the acients were experimenting with genetics. The result was Immortals (of Highlander fame).

John tries to help Rodney be less socially inept and find a girlfriend by helping with the social skills he lacks. As he teaches Rodney moves, chat up lines and dressing to impress etc., John realises his own feelings for Rodney are morphing into much more than friendship. How would Rodney react if he put his best moves on him. Would oblivious Rodney even realise he was being seduced?

Sheppard has never been more embarrassed, he's contracted an STD, from an indiscretion Off World, and it's highly contagious, he even set off Atlantis' Sensors with it...Beckett has cordoned John off in his Quarters, with instructions that he stay there for the foreseeable future...

...McKay can't resist visiting John; and takes great pleasure in teasing him...What he's not expecting is that his brief visit causes him to contract the same STD, and Beckett confines them both to John's Quarters...

Sheppard is being visited in the night, by an Ancient that stayed watching over Atlantis, and who has taken a shine to John...Appearing to him in his Dreams, the Ancient takes the form of McKay, and Seduces him...

...John is badly disturbed by these Dreams, not knowing that they're anything more than that, but takes out his frustration on Rodney, like he's somehow to blame...John knows that it's not Rodney's fault, they're his Dreams, and he's enjoying them, but Rodney's also not about to let this drop...

Sheppard is returning to Atlantis, through the Intergalactic Gate Network and in a Jumper, but instead of arriving in Atlantis, he comes back through the Gate on Earth...His Wormhole hit a Solar Flare, and has sent him back in time almost 4 Years...

...He's surprised to find McKay at the SGC, this being before he was sent to Russia, and is even more surprised at how different Rodney is...Everyone is very suspicious of John, they've never seen a Jumper before, and are thinking that this might be a deception by Anubis...

With Major Carter Offworld; it's down to Rodney to find John a way Home, and he does, but Orders come through that John is not to be allowed to leave...The Jumper is an important tactical advantage over Anubis, and both it and John are to be transferred to Area 51...

...John is being held at the SGC, and tries to get through to Rodney, tries to convince Rodney to free him; and to get him to the Jumper...Rodney does help him, but goes with John, he's already irreparably changed the Past; so what has he got to lose...

After the Wraith Fed upon him, Sheppard has been left feeling uneasy, something in him has changed, but he doesn't know what...Beckett can't find anything Medical; and Dr. Heightmeyer can't find anything Psychological, even though John isn't exactly open to talking to her...

...Maybe it's just knowing what's happened to him, but he still doesn't feel right in his own skin...Teyla tries talking to him, closer to understanding than most, but like with Heightmeyer, he doesn't actually want to talk about it...

And then, what on any other day would have been a not unusual; and affectionate round of sniping and bickering with Rodney, turns into something nasty...John explodes on him, Rodney had his guard down, and isn't expecting anything like this, this aggression, and is actually pretty shaken by it, and others are too...

...Calming down, John knows that he needs to apologise, he wants to apologise, Rodney really is his Best Friend, and he didn't mean to hurt him...Rodney isn't holding a grudge, or being difficult, he didn't go to John, but he's worried...

John finally breaks down, admits how scared he is, how scared he is that the Wraith has changed him...Rodney comforts him, he was scared too, but unexpectedly, John makes a pass at him...

...It's actually something that neither of them has thought about before, John hadn't been planning it, and Rodney pulls back, clearly taken aback...Now there's something very awkward hanging between them, and neither quite knows how to clear it...

When the Expedition first arrives in Atlantis, and before the Failsafe was implemented, Sheppard and McKay are in the Jumper, when the City begins to Flood...They're transported back in time to when the Ancients still inhabited the City, both surviving the Jumper's crash...

...They remain in Atlantis after the Ancients evacuate to Earth, in order to sustain the City until the Expedition arrives...John and Rodney have barely said two words to each other, but decide to stay out of Stasis in order to get to get to know each other, and end up getting on each others nerves, but there's also an undercurrent neither is willing to admit to...

Their next time out of Stasis, and they're pretty much unchanged, rotating the ZMP's, they know that this is going to be it for their Lives, and again decide to remain out of Stasis, this time around, getting very close, and going on to live their Lives together...Rodney and John are found in Stasis, John is unconscious, but Rodney is lucid enough to tell the story...

...Rodney also tells the other John and Rodney of his Relationship with his John, who also wakes up for long enough to tell his younger self that he loves Rodney, and also tells Rodney that too before they both Die...John and Rodney don't know how to act around each other, being told that in another time, you were not only in Love with, but spent a Lifetime with someone, does tend to make things awkward...

Since his 'Ascension', McKay has changed in Sheppard's eyes, although no one else seems to have noticed, it's irking John, and he's becoming irate...Confronted, it was never Rodney, it was John; he was scared...

The Wraith Mind Altering Device made Sheppard remember something else from his time in Afghanistan, that when it had looked hopeless, he and another Officer had had Sex...It's something that John has never admitted to, just chalking it down to circumstance, only Sheppard had tried to re-enact this with McKay while under the Device's influence, and are both feeling very uncomfortable with each afterwards...

The Ancients defeated the Replicators, and remained in control of Atlantis...Sheppard is still commanding an SG Team, and with some effort, has managed to get McKay assigned to his Team...

Rodney McKay loves his Job, he's an Astrophysicist, respected in his field, and working at Area 51...After a night with Friends, and while heading home, Rodney's mugged, or at least someone tries to mug him, a man comes to his rescue, fighting off the Muggers, and that man is John Sheppard...

...Shaken but okay, Rodney goes Home, but can't get John out of his head...He sets about finding more, or anything about him, learning that he's an Ex Air Force Major, and then sets about tracking him down...

John Sheppard is flying high; he's just been made a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force, and is deemed important enough to be given assignments at Area 51...It's there that he meets Rodney McKay, and there that he jeopardises his new Rank...

Rodney McKay is a famous Plastic Surgeon, he's rich, naturally good-looking, and together with his Best Friend Carson Beckett; he runs one of the most exclusive Clinics in the US...Everything changes for Rodney in the form of an Air Force Officer that has survived a crash in Afghanistan, and his name is Major John Sheppard...

...He's been brought Home, and needs Reconstructive Surgery, and although it's not really Rodney's field, he wants to help...Rodney ends up spending all of his time with John, getting to know him, and for the first time, getting to know the person, not the appearance, he begins to fall in love with John...

When the reconstruction is complete, Rodney has managed to put John back together exactly as he was, and John is stunning, the most beautiful man Rodney has ever seen, and his best work...Rodney wants to be with him, but doesn't know if John wants to be with him, because even though they've become close, John's a Straight Air Force Major, and will most likely be heading back to Afghanistan...

Separated from the rest of his Team, Sheppard is bested by a group of Wraith, and instead of being captured, or fed upon; he is brutally Raped by them...The others find him, but he doesn't tell them what happened, too ashamed to admit it...

...What's worse for Sheppard, is that he feels the need to do it again, to be taken that way again...Near desperate, he tries to find someone to do it, and he finds McKay, taking him to bed, and violently using him to satisfy a need, given to him by the Wraith...

The more it happens, the more Rodney begins to care about John, but John doesn't associate Love with the act, it's just sex, riding Rodney, trying to take control, but still very much the victim...Rodney tries to change the nature of the 'Relationship' they have, to show John that the Sex doesn't need to be violent, that John doesn't need to be hurt, doesn't need to bleed, and doesn't need to feel ashamed...

...John's broken, tries to hide it with anger, and by lashing out, but he needs to break down, he's been hurt, and needs Rodney...And Rodney needs him, trying to make love to John and make this more than a continuation of the Rape...

Sheppard thinks that he's getting forgetful, asking for people in Departments who don't seem to be there, he assumes that it's just to do with crew rotations, and people coming and going on the Daedalus, but when he looks into things, he finds that there are no records of these people ever having been in Atlantis, people from his Life are disappearing, with those around him not remembering them at all...John is trying desperately to remind them, but the rewriting of their memories is eerily familiar, making John doubt himself...

...What starts with people on the edge of his perspective, moves on to those closest to him, and for each change, those that are left have their versions of history reconfigured to accept it, until one by one, only Sheppard and McKay are left, Rodney with no memory of it ever being any other way...Atlantis is deserted, with just John and Rodney left, and for Rodney, his relationship with John is the only relationship he has ever had, and for John, the only relationship that he has left...

In the middle of nowhere, John took over the running of his Family's Motel from his Mother, who 'lives' with him in the large house behind...John was obsessed with his Mother, and when she died, couldn't let her go, literally, keeping her body, and her alive by dressing and talking as her...

...When a young woman, Jeanne McKay arrives, wanting to stay in the Motel, John likes her, but his 'Mother' doesn't, and kills her...Jeanne's Brother Rodney comes looking for her, and John likes him even more, and something begins between them, but 'Mother' is just as unhappy with Rodney...

As Teenagers, John and Rodney were the Best of Friends, but what no one else knew was that they were also Lovers, but John broke Rodney's heart by joining the Air Force and leaving, without even telling Rodney what he was doing...John had 2 choices in how his Life turned out, he wanted to Fly, and Joining the Air Force would let him do that...

...He was in a unique position, to Marry a General's Daughter, almost through arrangement, a Woman he not only didn't Love, but didn't Like; or even find attractive...Or to admit to his Family that he was Gay, that he wanted to be with Rodney, the man he Loved, but couldn't bring himself to actually be with...

John chose the outwardly easy option, something that has torn him apart through Years of Marriage, but he's now Lt. Colonel, his Parents are dead, he and his Wife are estranged, and Divorce would be academic...He hasn't seen Rodney since he was a Teenager, but wants to try and find him...

...John knows that's it too late for them, he still Loves Rodney as much as he ever did, maybe more, but has to at least try to set things right...Rodney McKay works for the US Government, and John sets about trying to track him down...

Looking through the Family Photos, John finds Pictures of his Father, his Grandfather, and even his Great-Grandfather, all with the same man...A beautiful man, looking to be in his mid 30's in all three series' of Pictures...

...John's Father is dead, he actually killed himself when he was a Baby; and John's Mother, like every woman in his Family, had abandoned him after he was born...John was raised by his Grandfather, his namesake, who's now in an Old Peoples' Home...

John quizzes his Grandfather, who tells the story of the man; of Rodney, who had been Lover to every male descendant in their Family, and who he claims was an 'Ancient', whatever that is...He met John's Ancestor, and they fell in love, but Rodney didn't want to deny his Love the Family he craved, even after he was Married and a Father, their affair continued until the day he died, Rodney was that loyal...

...By this time, his Son was of age, and too fell in love with Rodney, this pattern continued, but John's Father couldn't live without Rodney and had killed himself...John wants to meet Rodney, angry about his Father, but also curious, and meeting him, Rodney isn't what John expected, and he falls in Love with him too, he doesn't want a Family, and Rodney mentions something called 'Ascension...'

Discovering a Time Dilation Device on Atlantis, Sheppard and McKay are unaffected by its affects, as everyone else in Atlantis begins getting older, rapidly aging by decades in a matter of hours...When someone actually dies of old age, Weir evacuates the City...

...Escaping to the Mainland with the Daedalus' help, and once out of the Device's range, those affected begin to return to normal...Rodney and John remain to try and deactivate the Device, and although they're not aging, time is passing much faster within the City, and they're spending months together...

While playing their 'Game', Sheppard and McKay have taken their flirting to a whole new level...The people in their Countries are living out their Lives, the way that John and Rodney want to...

When the Ancients returned to Earth, and evacuated the Pegasus Galaxy, they didn't abandon Atlantis, and were able to slip past the Wraith, and fly the City back to Earth...Once they had either Ascended, or Died, Atlantis was left abandoned, and the Second Generation of Humans on Earth, evolved with the City present in their History...

...Over time, Atlantis was entered, those that didn't possess the Gene could do nothing, but those that did, would use the Atlantis' weapons and defences for their own purposes...It was a point of contention, and cause of many Wars between peoples...

Sat smack in the middle of the Atlantic, it has been in dispute for Years, with no one Country allowing another to occupy the City, but it is now under the control of an International Committee, lead by Dr. Elizabeth Weir...Carson Beckett is trying to find people with the Gene, and unexpectedly finds it in a Pilot flying personnel in from the Mainland, Major John Sheppard...

...Rodney McKay, who has been studying Ancient Technology all of his life, has been brought in from Area 51, and working with Sheppard, is be able to get access to Atlantis' systems...John and Rodney become quite the pair, exploring Atlantis, activating systems, and sometimes spending days entirely alone in the City...

Atlantis is being prepared to leave Earth, the Pegasus Galaxy has been selected as its destination, and the Ancients that have decided to leave, are saying goodbye to those who have decided to stay...John is one of the Alteran's that has decided to go, excited at the prospect of a New Galaxy...

...During the journey, he meets another Alteran; Rodney...There's something between them from the beginning, something that develops as they finding a planet, and start colonising Pegasus...

Major John Sheppard didn't go on the original Expedition to Atlantis, but a Year later, arrives on Daedalus during the Siege, and the first person that he meets is Rodney McKay...

John is Ori, and Rodney an Alteran...The Ori despise the Alterans, and they're in the middle of a bitter War, with John and Rodney no being different, they hate each other, but there's something more between them, and although forbidden, they fall in Love...

...The Alterans are planning to leave the Galaxy, and John must either abandon his people; or Rodney...He leaves with Rodney, joining the Alterans, but he's been bred to despise them, and is distrusted, in case he reveals their New Galaxy's location to the Ori...

John and Rodney were Ancients, and before they Ascended, they were together...When the time came, they Ascended together, but 10 Thousand Years spent incorporeal, just compounded that neither exactly

...They retook Human Form to be together, but returned with no Memory of who they really are, and continued on to live Human Lives...Then they met, and travelled together to Atlantis, with only the barest remnant of what they were to each other, and a whole new Relationship developing, just as it did between them the first time around...

When the Shield began to fail, the Expedition evacuated Atlantis before the Failsafe raised the City to the surface, they left before it happened, and not believing it possible to return, never found out...They travelled to another World, and with Teyla and the Athosians, all now essentially Refugees, they set up Camp together...

...They have nothing, and do try sending Teams through the Gate to gather supplies, and try to find Allies, but they're alone, and don't even know each other...Sheppard and McKay get to know each other...

Dr. Weir was killed shortly after arriving in Atlantis, and since it's a Civilian Expedition, McKay is left in charge...This is was out of Rodney's comfort zone, even though Sheppard is in a similar position, now Ranking Military Officer, and that they hardly know each other, Rodney still needs John's help in making this work for all of them...

Sheppard, McKay, Teyla and Ronon are preparing to go Offworld, when someone comes through the Gate unscheduled...Rodney McKay comes through the Gate, and it is definitely Rodney, only he's much older...

...His Wormhole hit a Solar Flare, and sent him back in time; he explains that he just destroyed his Atlantis...The Wraith had taken the City, Rodney himself had been Fed upon, and it was the only choice, but throughout the meeting, this Rodney can't take his eyes off of Sheppard...

John is made a little uncomfortable, and Future Rodney admits that his Sheppard was killed, but there's also something more...Talking to Future Rodney privately, he tells John that they had been together, and that his John had died saving his Life, had died saving everyone's lives...

...John is spending a lot of time with Future Rodney, it's Rodney, but he's tempered, the way he speaks to John, is so easy, and so comfortable, for both of them, and they get very close, but Future Rodney is Dying, and John is desperate to find another Wraith, to reverse the Feeding, like it was reversed for him...Future Rodney Dies, after an undisclosed amount of intimacy between them, John is left with things unresolved, and his own Rodney having been pushed entirely to the side throughout his Counterpart's visit...

The Ori are invading Earth, and with the Ancients still in control of Atlantis, the SGC ask them for help...The Ancients offer to let people evacuate to Atlantis, and into the Pegasus Galaxy...

...Sheppard's is one of the SG Teams leading the evacuation, very few actually make it through the Gate in time, and one of those is Rodney, coming through with the last few...They contact Teyla and Ronon, but they're all that's left...

The Ancients are still in control of Atlantis, and Sheppard and McKay have asked to return, surprisingly the Ancients are allowing this...It's not exactly the homecoming that they hoped, this is the Ancients' City, and there's not really anything for John and Rodney to do...

...The Ancients look on Rodney as though he was incompetent, Rodney's knowledge of Atlantis paling in comparison to theirs, and they're dismissive of him...One Scientist is different, and Rodney feels an affinity for him...

John is feeling even more put out than Rodney, the Ancients are more skilled in flying the Jumpers than he is, but like with Rodney, one Ancient is different, and he sets about teaching John how to fly like he does...Without realising it, both John and Rodney are getting involved with these Ancients, and the Ancients consider these full blown Relationships...

...What John and Rodney don't know is if it's anything that they want, being with Men...They only have each other to talk to about it, and ironically, they're the only Men each other could ever have imagined being with...

When in control of Atlantis, the Replicators recreated their extension of the City into a massive complex, and Teams have been elected to explore the new City...Sheppard and McKay are one of these teams, Teyla and Ronon another...

...It's going to take weeks to catalogue the new Labs, Quarters, and with more power demands, exactly how many ZPM's they're now in possession of...One thing that this is going to mean, is a much larger contingent from Earth can be stationed on Atlantis...

Time spent alone together, John and Rodney realise exactly how much time they spent together before Atlantis, and when it wasn't made so easy, on earth as well...When they weren't having dinner, they were phoning each other, they do have feelings for each other, closer than either really wants to admit to, in anything other than a joking way, but is there more, and if there is, do they even want to find that out...

...They make the decision that while they're away from everyone else, to try being together, to test the water...The physicality is awkward, but the intimacy has always been there, what they don't know if being together is a natural progression, or if they're forcing something...

Sheppard wakes up, but immediately knows that something isn't right, he's not in the Quarters on Atlantis for a start...On further investigation, he finds himself still in Antarctica...

...There was never any expedition to Atlantis, and taking his Chopper out to the Site of the Ancient Outpost, find that there's nothing there...At least if the Outpost is there, it's never been uncovered...

John tries contacting the SGC, but it's not there either, the Stargate was never discovered...He sets about trying to find the others; Elizabeth is in the Middle East, negotiating Peace Talks, Aiden is in Iraq, John can't decide if that's still better than being MIA in the Pegasus Galaxy, and Carson he can't find head nor tail of...

...He's able to find out that Rodney is at Area 51, and knows that if anyone knows what's happened, and why John remembers, then it's his Best Friend...John doesn't have Clearance for Area 51, but needs to get to Rodney somehow or other...

McKay Ascended fully, and has now been gone for nearly a Month, no one is speculating as to why he hasn't retaken Human Form, whether or not it's a process that takes time, whether he can even retake Human Form, or if he even wants to...Sheppard is miserable, he's not only lost a Member of his Team, but his Best Friend, and is only now beginning to realise exactly how much time they spent together...

...John's in a fug, Teyla and Ronon try to lift his spirits, but he's just not himself, Elizabeth suggests that he take some time for himself, and even offers him some time on Earth...He doesn't accept that, but does take a few days just for himself, and having taken a Jumper out, doesn't quite accept believe it's real when Rodney appears in the seat next to him...

When 2 Englishmen arrive on Atlantis, they cause quite a stir; they were Married in a Civil Union, and the Military might not like this, but Atlantis is a Civilian run Expedition...One of the Men is a Royal Air Force Pilot, the other a Scientist, and their relationship is eerily familiar, the bickering, and affectionate sniping echoing that of another Pilot, and another Scientist...

...People begin to talk about the extent of Sheppard's Relationship with McKay...John is easygoing, but it's getting uncomfortable, and there really isn't anything going on between them, and he and Rodney are forced to examine their Relationship for themselves...

After their first encounter, the Replicators created their own versions of Sheppard and McKay...They have their Memories, and are trying to understand them...

...The Replicators run with John and Rodney's Feelings for each other, engaging in a Sexual Relationship...The Relationship was always there, and through the eyes of the Replicators, with no restraints, and no boundaries, they're free to explore...

McKay discovers one of the Ancient Communication Devices that Daniel Jackson used to reach the Ori Home Galaxy, but accidentally activates it himself, and his Consciousness is sent into someone there...Dr. Weir knows that if the Ori get a hold of Rodney, learn of Atlantis, or are able to track the signal, that they will begin an invasion of the Pegasus Galaxy as well...

...Sheppard is elected, well offers, well insists, on using the Device to get Rodney back, with his Gene; he might have more control over the process...Arriving in the Ori Home Galaxy, he finds Rodney, and their relief at finding each other leads to a surprisingly physical manifestation for both of them, as well as a Heresy to the Ori...

Sheppard and McKay are doing reconnaissance on Wraith Movements, and have taken a Jumper through a Space Gate, but heading back, something goes terribly wrong, and the Stargate is destroyed...They're nowhere near another Stargate, Daedalus in back in the Milky Way, is Weeks away from Pegasus, and even further away from them...

...There are no inhabitable Planets in the System, so they set course for the next, in hopes of finding one, but they're alone...Even if they do find a habitable Planet, they're still going to be alone together, and right now, in a very small Jumper, with very little food...

Sheppard's Ex Wife has been Posted to Atlantis, and John has never been more angry...She is stunning, but also vindictive, and seeing John's Friendship with Rodney, makes a play for him to annoy John...

...Rodney is loyal to John, but at the same time, when a beautiful woman comes on to him, which isn't all that often, he's not about to look a Gift Horse in the mouth...John is furious, and not quite sure who he's more furious with, but he soon realises that he's hurt, and that he's jealous...

Sheppard is having Nightmares, and Panic Attacks from the Wraith Feeding off him...He keeps seeing himself as that Old Man, and is obsessively Running, and Training, trying to prove to himself that he's not that Old Man, but it's not enough, he still needs more, he needs to have Sex...

When he was Infected by Ellia with the Retrovirus, and unbeknownst to him, Sheppard laid an Embryo in Atlantis, that since that time has been gestating...It hatches into a version of Sheppard, that's outwardly Human, but is internally Wraith...

...It has all of John's Memories, but they're tainted by the Wraith's instincts and motivations; it's John Sheppard in the state of mind that he was in while Infected...It moves through the City, able to pass as John, interacting with different people, and one of those is Rodney, who's Friendship it remembers, but can't define, and who's boundaries and lines it won't respect...

McKay is on the other side of the Atlantis conducting repairs, when he's grabbed from behind and Blindfolded...Rodney doesn't know who's grabbed him, or what's going up, until whoever it is Rapes him...

...Rodney has never experimented, also never wanted to, and hasn't had to much as a Suppository, or a Colonic, but this is sawing his Virginity out of him, and he never wants to again...When it's over, Rodney is dragged into some nearby Quarters, and put into the Ancient Shower, he's knows what's happening, that this won't leave any evidence as to who has attacked him...

He stays in that Shower, until someone comes looking for him, and that's Sheppard, Teyla and Ronon...They find Rodney is a terrible state, and all of them feel so helpless...

...Only the 4 of them, Carson and Elizabeth know what's happened, Carson has no physical evidence as to who attacked Rodney, and at Ranking Military Officer, it falls on John to investigate, and he wants to find out who did this...What's worse is that Rodney can't help but suspect everyone around him, including John, something that hurts them both...

Some Alterans have Arranged Marriages, and John is one of those Alterans...Atlantis has just arrived in Pegasus, everyone is working setting up a new Civilisation, and his Parents spring on him an Arranged Marriage...

...They're not mandatory, but are appreciated by the Families that arrange them...What's not know is if you're going to get a Boy or a Girl, and John likes Girls, he doesn't want to be Married to a Boy...

John has never met anyone who's had a successful Arranged Marriage, and after being Rodney, doesn't believe that he's actually going to...He's horrible, arrogant, dismissive, and if John was ever going to go with a Boy, it certainly would not be Rodney...

...He's going to go through with it for his Parents sake, and then end it in a Year...They can live separate lives, Rodney spending his time ensconced in the Control Room, and the Labs, John spending it Flying, and as much time spent away from their Shared Quarters as possible...

The Ancients left an entire City on Earth, Structures and Towers covering the entire surface of the Planet; that the Humans who followed have always lived in...Some Humans don't have the Gene, others have had it artificially imposed, and time is spent maintaining the City, and continuing the Ancients Research and Experiments...

...John Sheppard hasn't grownup in the City, his Parents Lived on the Mainland with the others that wanted a Life not ruled by technology, they're not fanatical, but just prefers the Mainland...The people who Live in the City respect those that Live on the Mainland, and it's friendly, with people coming and going all the time...

John has had a great Life so far with his Friends Teyla and Ronon, but has always wanted to Fly, and seeing the Jumpers Flying over head is just too much temptation for him...With the City new to him, he needs some help, and also the go ahead, and training to get his hands on a Jumper...

...No one is going to just give John a Jumper, and it's going to be tough to find someone willing to give up their time to train him, he never knew it, but John has the Gene, and that attracts the attention of Rodney McKay, someone that can make John's dreams of Flying, become a reality...Rodney's not a Pilot, but is willing to give John his time, if with his Gene, John helps him access a lot of the City's systems he hasn't been able to before...

The Team decides to go back to the World that they found Teyla and the Athosians on, to explore the Ancient ruins that they were never able to...Inside they find a Device; that accidentally activates, causes Sheppard to disappear...

...It has sent John back in time, McKay is able to bring him back, but not at the same moment that he arrived...He was sent Thousands of Years into the Past, and had nowhere to go, he couldn't reverse the process, the Athosians wouldn't even arrive in his Lifetime, and the Ancients had already left Pegasus...

John has been alone for a long time, and has actually gone a bit mad...His Hair has grown out, and he's acting like he's Drunk...

...The Team take John back to Atlantis, but nothing is working to snap John out of his state of mind, maybe nothing can...Rodney tries to get through to his Friend, but John has changed, in more ways than one...

Julia Donovan has been granted access to Atlantis, to continue her Story for, if and when the existence of the Stargate is made public...She's exploring the City, interviewing Personnel, and Sheppard has been assigned to show her around, and demonstrate the Gene and its control of Ancient Technology...

...John takes her to the Labs to meet McKay, and Julia is completely his type, but Rodney's interest isn't stopping her from coming onto John...She's asking them both about their Personal Lives, noticing the intimacy between them, asking some very awkward questions, and the Journalist in her smelling a Story, whether there's actually one to tell or not...

Sheppard and McKay are Dead, but they Lived long enough to get Married, not to each other, and to have a Son each, they were the Best of Friends, and even named each other's Son's after the other, Rodney Sheppard, and John McKay...Each Son is the image of their Father; and with their Mothers also gone; are Orphans, but are also now in their 20's...

...Although having been to Earth, they were Born on Atlantis, have grown up here, and never Joined the US Military, instead being absorbed into the Civilian operation of the City...The difference between these Boys and their Fathers, is that Rodney Sheppard has an aptitude for Mathematics and Science, John McKay Fighting, and Flying, and whether or not this is different they don't know, but they are attracted to each other...

Sheppard and McKay share the Consciousness of 2 Ancients, they don’t have long left, but want to spend this time together, it’s agreed to, without quite realising that they were Married, and that time together meant Making Love...And once they’re gone, John and Rodney are left with the Memories of having had Sex together...

Sheppard's Consciousness is destroyed, when that of an Ancient is placed into his Body...There's no way to reverse the process, to remove the Ancient, and even if there was, John's Consciousness has been destroyed...

...The Ancient formerly known as John Sheppard is just trying to fit in, not take John's place, find his own in Atlantis, but McKay is making things difficult for him though...Rodney Loved John, and he thinks that John Loved him too, but they never spoke about it, almost never had to, because they were that close...

Rodney hates this constant reminder of what he's lost, and he hates himself more, but he and the Ancient start a Relationship...At first it's because it's John's Body, and Rodney can pretend, that it's just Sex, that it's Sex with John, but it's not John, and Rodney finds himself in a Relationship with another Man...

...He genuinely likes the Ancient, and together they're able to work things out, but the Ancient is on an uncontrollable path to Ascension...The Ancient Ascends, but is able to return John once he does...

Dr. Weir wasn't able to beat the Replicator Infection, and Died...Everyone is numb, but the IOA don't give anyone time to grieve, and want to appoint a new Leader, but everyone can agree that they don't want anyone else...

...Sheppard proposes that Rodney take over, since he's a Civilian, and is already on Atlantis, he's eligible, and John supporting him will carry some weight...Rodney doesn't want to be in charge, and wants to know why John is steering him towards being...

Sheppard has just seen McKay killed in front of him, he can't believe that it's just happened, and even visiting Rodney's body in the Infirmary doesn't make it real to him...Someone has to sort through Rodney's personal effects, and it's not fair the bring Rodney's Sister to Atlantis, just to do that, John decides that it's something that he should do, as well as breaking the news of Rodney's Death to Jeanne personally...

...During the journey to visit Jeanne, John reads Rodney's Journal, and although he doesn't come out and say it, the way that Rodney writes about John, and they way that John feels about reading it, he knows that they had been in Love...Talking to Jeanne about Rodney, it's John that breaks down, admitting to himself what he couldn't when Rodney was Alive...

Now on the journey back to Atlantis, John knows that he can't do this without Rodney, he doesn't want to, and he's desperate to find a way to bring him back...SG-1 have brought people back from edge before, and even changed history, and John is willing to do whatever it takes to get Rodney back...

During the Siege, Atlantis Dialled out before Earth could Dial in, the Expedition evacuated, and Atlantis was destroyed...Daedalus arrived 3 Days later, but the City was gone, and there was no sign of any survivors, they searched for the Expedition, but Pegasus is a big Galaxy, and they were forced to return to Earth...

...The Expedition continued to explore, and find Taranis, helping to save its People from destruction, they are able to procure the Orion from them, and plan to return to Earth...The Journey will take Months, and the Orion is barely operational, but everyone is glad of the distraction, and at least possibility of returning Home...

Everyone is very relaxed, lines have blurred, and Sheppard and McKay are spending a lot of time together...If possible, it's even more companionable than before, and they are getting closer...

In another Dimension, the Ori discovered Pegasus, destroyed the Wraith, and enslaved the People, although they saw it as liberation from Wraith, and embraced Origin gladly...When the Expedition came to Atlantis, they were introduced to Origin, and were also converted, most of them becoming Priors, and heading back to Earth...

...An accident causes Prior Sheppard to change places with Sheppard from our Dimension...While the Prior sets about trying to convert everyone, McKay tries to get through to him, and in the other Dimension, John tries to get through to Prior Rodney...

It's the 1800's, and John Sheppard is Dying, he's contracted Syphilis, and faces a terrible, and drawn out Death...Despite his knowledge of Science, his Lover Rodney McKay can do nothing for him, but John is not willing to just give up...

...There is a Myth, that a Cure for everything exists on the Lost City of Atlantis, and with what time he has left, John searches for that City...Together, John and Rodney travel to Antarctica, where they discover the Stargate, and the way to reach Atlantis...

Jeanne McKay was the Scientist working at Area 51, the SGC, who travelled on the Atlantis Expedition, and now 3 Years later, it's her Brother Rodney that is brought to Atlantis...Sheppard feels the need to take Rodney under his wing during his stay, and can't help but notice the difference between Rodney and his Sister, and the rapport that they immediately strike up, it's a companionable and affectionate bickering, and sniping, and John hasn't enjoyed someone's company in a long time...

An Ancient Device swaps Sheppard and McKay Consciousness', and it doesn't seem straightforward to swap them back...John hates being in Rodney's Body, feeling so unfit in comparison, and so out of shape, he's no match for Teyla when sparring, or Ronon when running, and starts pushing himself to get in shape, but falls foul of Rodney's Body's Hypoglycaemia, and Allergies...

...Rodney on the other hand is loving the change, he's fit, thin, and getting more than a little attention from people...He starts showing off the Body that John always underplayed, how strong it is, how effortless things are for him, and Rodney finds how much he likes Citrus...

To John's he also rubbing it in; and Rodney is really getting on his nerves...He's jealous, he misses the attention, and he wants his Body back, but what's worse, is that he's actually a little attracted to himself...

It has been decided that a more permanent Military presence should be established in Pegasus, that although Colonel Sheppard will remain in charge of operations in Atlantis, a more senior Officer be brought in for wider reaching Military circumstances...The Officer in question is General Sheppard, John's Father...

...John and his Father didn't exactly not get on, he's a good Man, but they were never close, especially after John’s Mother Died, and although John respects his Father immensely, he's more than a little uncomfortable at having his Father in Pegasus, this is his Galaxy, and having your Father their can cramp your style...The style that John feels that his Father is cramping, is his Relationship with McKay...

Transported into the Past, John and Rodney become Knights of the Round Table...

Sheppard's Youth wasn't restored by the Wraith that Drained him, instead, he has remained an Old Man...John and McKay had been together, not for long, but now Rodney is torn in what he's feeling towards John...

...John has refused to go back to Earth, wanting to stay in Atlantis, and Weir has allowed this, but he isn't expecting Rodney to care for him, he doesn't want Rodney to see him like that...Rodney knows that he should, knows that he should want to, and a part of him does, but another can't get past John's appearance...

It was hard enough to be with another Man, John being the exception, and their Friendship essentially paving the way...From being with a Man in his prime, to an Old Man, that even with Atlantis' Transporters, can barely make it around the City, is too big of a leap for Rodney to make, and he's ashamed that he's not a big enough person to continue their Relationship...

...Although they don't initially know, the Wraith started the process of reversing the Feeding, and John is slowly recovering, and in a matter of Weeks, he'll be restored, but there is a massive wedge between him and Rodney...On the one hand, it's understandable, but they can't just forget what happened, it became almost mutually unspoken to not even visit, or continue their Friendship, and if Rodney couldn't be with John under those circumstances, should they even try to get past this...

Write a challenge that starts with the line: "As the knife touched Rodney's skin, John stopped breathing."
