Prompt post!

[melagan.livejournal.com]

To start off the Fest, we are having a prompt roundup! Prompt suggestions should be left in a comment to this post.

What you consider a prompt is up to you.

Prompts may be anything including, but not limited to, pictures, poetry, or song. You may offer as many prompts for the fest as your romantic heart desires. We'll continue with our shameless begging for prompts until midnight (wherever you are) Jan 8th.

You may leave more than one prompt but please be clear and separate multiple prompts by using numbers or separate lines.

Remember too, since this is not an exchange there is no certainty that your prompt will be chosen but any offered inspiration is greatly appreciated.

John and Rodney attend Harmony's wedding, a grand state affair with visitors from many planets in Pegasus. Interplanetary intrigue means would-be assasins are present that object to the Atlanteans presence.

And reposting somebody else's prompt from last year - John and Rodney are reporters from rival newspapers.

Rodney gets his nipples pierced.

[fardareismai2.livejournal.com]

All the cosign.

More prompts

Presumed dead fic. One of them is believed to be dead and the other attempts to cope (badly). Give me all the angst followed by an HEA reunion. :)

Rodney is a renowned chef/baker. John is the irritating customer who tells him his food is "ok".

"Put that thing back where it came from or so help me..."

John finds out that Ronon and Rodney occasionally hook up, because sex. Neither of them has any sexuality hang ups. John gets jealous. He's still in the closet, even with the repeal of DADT, because of so many years of hiding, of occasional, furtive backroom hookups while on leave. Maybe also because of his dad? (but not necessary).

It can be funny or angsty or anything in between, but HEA please and McShep end game. :)

[bookjunkie1975.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaaaas. This pleases me so much.

[popkin16]

FUCK. YEAH.

Maybe with John having a piercing as a bonus, too.

When you (unwittingly) relieve a genius of all his distractions, what happens?

This ^^ is a great question.
And... not to hijack your prompt, but it makes me wonder if, at the happy resolution, Rodney might say to John that they need to tone down their "closeness" while he finishes his latest genius project. And John goes "Wut??? (but I am beautiful and charming and I forgive you and all). And Rodney goes, "Sorry, Working, Busy now, cya". I'm smiling just thinking about it.

Interesting but I'm a cranky McShep. Sheppard is beautiful and charming but also accomplished at deadly. McKay is an arrogant dismissive genius who just got his first real, deadly failure. I would not read any story where McKay dismisses Sheppard like that. They are so much right and wrong, push and pull,



Good idea, but I probably would not read that story. I wanted to read the story where Elizabeth romances (in a professional way) Rodney back from his total commitment to research and projects, to resuming all the crap that comes from being head of multiple science departments, and going off world all the time.. How to convince an unbound genius to take back the bounds? McKay and Sheppard? I'm a Mcshep so for them, there is no good guy, there is no bad guy, there is them and they fight it out.

I think my point was that watching the episodes, how the hell did McKay handle it all? Head of a department that was over half the population of Atlantis, going off world ( don't get me started). What if his punishment ,for the first time , unbound his abilities?

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

Somehow as I was editing this comment it got posted. Sorry.

[rissabby.livejournal.com]

I didn't at all mean that Rodney would break up with John. I sort of pictured that Rodney, working on pure science, might be enraptured by some project or idea -- and how that might be distracting and joyous.

I really love your idea, and I'm sorry if I sounded as if I didn't. I'm not a writer, so sometimes my comments aren't very graceful.

What if his punishment ,for the first time , unbound his abilities?
I love this idea. ^^ I hope someone writes it.

[hickman1937.livejournal.com]

LOL, and I lied. I'd probably read your version. I just prefer when they are on equal footing. I'm just a reader too.

Time Dilation Fluff

[ocd-indeed.livejournal.com]

Rodney discovers the science behind a time dilation field but doesn’t tell anyone. He secretly uses his quarters to create his own sanctuary so he can get a good night sleep and then be productive through night to achieve ’science-y things'. No one realizes Rodney isn’t ‘sleeping’ except Sheppard. He knows something is up when Zelenka mentions power spikes every night around the same time Rodney heads back to his quarters. Sheppard ‘investigates’. McKay & Sheppard take advantage of the hours = minutes in Rodney’s quarters.

OR Maybe Rodney discovers it and sets the time dilation field up on a beach on the mainland, and they use it as a ‘vacation spot’ for everyone on Atlantis. People can have a week vacation without disrupting any schedules or daily functioning duties on Atlantis.
(So, basically I just want some fun PWP.)

[bookjunkie1975.livejournal.com]

How dare you, ma'am, with your super fantastic, last minute prompt? *shakes fist*

Re: Time Dilation Fluff

[ocd-indeed.livejournal.com]

All in the name of porn!

Think of what Rodney and John could get up to if they had hours of uninterrupted time & it passes as minutes to Atlantis. Shep could go into Rodney's room have hours and hours of sex & leave his room with only minutes passing by. This just makes sense. It practically writes itself.

[melagan.livejournal.com]

I am a sucker for the 'Gay for You' trope. I'll take it anyway I can get it.

[squidgiepdx]

John runs a little brewhouse, and Rodney comes in one night after a bad day - and John doesn't know what to do with him at the end of the night so he takes him home.

[squidgiepdx]

John is a substitute personal chef that shows up one day, and Rodney is convinced John's trying to kill him.

[ocd-indeed.livejournal.com]

Yessssssssss.

[outsideth3box.livejournal.com]

John and Rodney, and two other Atlanteans of the author's choice, are competitors on the competition cooking show Chopped.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

(malicious or meant in kindness is up to author)

Oh, I'm sure it's because it's as close as they'll ever get to actually pushing him out of a plane. :D

"Put that thing back where it came from or so help me..."

Oh, thanks so much for that. Not just an earworm, but also a boggling mental exercise, trying to recast Monsters Inc with SGA chars.

Deep Impact(ish) AU

Rodney McKay spots the huge meteor heading directly for Earth, not as part of his job, but as part of his star-gazing hobby. Luckily, he has some ideas on how they can stop it.

John Sheppard is the astronaut who'll be piloting the shuttle carrying Rodney and his payload up to the meteor.

#######

After Rodney gets the gene, he starts waking up knowing things about Atlantis that he couldn't possibly know...unless she's telling him.

At first, he assumes he's dreaming - new galaxy, Ancient city, aliens out to kill him, he's actually surprised his nights aren't wall-to-wall nightmares - but then he absently uses some of his dream knowledge while under pressure, and it is pivotal in him saving the day.

John eventually confesses that, yeah, he's been getting the occasional update too, since the first day, some odder than others.

They start comparing notes, and notice the city has a plan...

#######

John and Rodney work here (http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/about-the-scp-foundation).

(sorry not sorry. I stumbled into a link to that wiki via a Hannigram fic and lost a few hours reading about artifact after artifact. The 'random SCP' button is evil and addictive.)

#######

How To Tame Your Dragon(ish) AU

John knows that if he could just get onto - and stay on - the back of one of those beasts, he could fly! He has an idea of how to make it happen, but needs help.

Rodney is the crazy/cranky genius blacksmith that all the adults avoid interacting with whenever possible and all the children take their broken toys to.

[fardareismai2.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what the hell anyone can do with this, but I figured, what the hell, I'll throw it in here (actually, le_rameau made me) . . .
