Art: Dramatis Personae (SFW) by Mific

Title: Dramatis Personae (SFW)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mific
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Pairing/Characters: John/Rodney, Radek, Woolsey, Old Elizabeth, Teyla, Ronon.
Rating: Teen
Medium: Blended digital art
Summary: In England of 1595 the Black Death stalks the land like a Wraith, taking youth and years and lives at every hand.
In the capital, Rodney McKay must outperform that upstart Will Shakespeare if the Atlantis Players are to make their fortunes. He must also contend with a growing attraction to John Sheppard, the new leading man hurriedly recruited to replace Sumner, lost in the last outbreak of plague.
Can Rodney write the ultimate spectacle and please the queen? Will Sheppard's secret past be revealed, and will he get to fly?
Will "Taylor", the troupe's boy, be unmasked? And what of the newly hired Ronon Dex, on the run from who knows what?
No wonder Radek Zelenka, owner of the Atlantis Players, looks harried...
Warnings: cod-Elizabethan dialog and a joke by Sheppard in extremely poor taste.
Notes: Written for the Romancing McShep festival 2015. My own prompt - vaguely inspired by "Shakespeare in Love" but not following the movie's plot.

(Part 1 of the "Atlantis Players" series - Part 2 is planned for Feb 14th and will be the story)
