Title: Down Where It's Wetter
Author: icantfollow
Pairing: John/Rodney
Rating: PG-13
Author Note: Written for the atlantis_9to5 Comm-a-thon:

The One at the Luxury Hotel Resort:

Elizabeth Weir: Hotel Manager
John Sheppard: Casino Security Guard
Rodney McKay: Housekeeping Supervisor or Chief Maintenance Engineer
Ronon Dex & Radek Zelenka: Bellhop
Teyla Emmagen: Front Desk Representative


( There were only so many times Rodney McKay could explain to Elizabeth Weir that the reason the resort's computer system kept crashing was that it was old. John Glenn old.  )

Title: Second Star to the Right
Author: icantfollow
Characters: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
Prompt: #046 Star
Word Count: ~11,000
Genre: AU
Rating: PG13
Summary: Rodney's pretty sure that if his time with John hasn't scarred him for life, then at the very least he's going to grow up with a fish fetish.

A/N: Mostly based off of the Disney cartoon version of Peter Pan rather than the J.M. Barrie original, with a bit of the 2003 movie thrown in for kicks. This fic has given me more headaches than a heavy metal band, but it's finally finished.

No crocodiles were harmed in the making of this fic – mostly because I forgot to put one in.

Title: Follow Through
Author: icantfollow
Characters: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
Fandoms: SGA/SG1/Eureka/Lost/ER/NCIS
Prompt: #082 If.
Word Count: ~2,800
Rating: PG13
Summary: 'Hello, Jenny,' John replies, wondering what the proper protocol is when you see your ex-wife in a town that technically doesn't exist while your de facto life partner stands beside you.
A/N: Part of the Life Less Ordinary universe, following Too Much Caffeine in Your Bloodstream.


( 'You know,' John drawls as he applies the bandage, 'you could stand to learn a bit about armed combat.' )

Title: Fairy Tale Dynamics (2/2)

Word Count: ~10,300
Genre: Fairytale AU
Rating: PG13

Part I is here

( Sometimes John is not very princely at all. )

Title: Fairy Tale Dynamics (1/2)
Author: icantfollow
Characters: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
Prompt: #086 Choices
Word Count: ~10,300
Genre: Fairytale AU
Rating: PG13
Summary: He says his name is John and he's a prince. Rodney, born to anti-establishment parents and raised by a witch with plans for world domination, takes his word for it.
A/N: Shamelessly inspired by skoosiepants' hysterical versions of Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. I considered placing John in the role of Rapunzel, given the hair, but the idea of Rodney locked in a tower was just so much better.

Thanks to my beta openice who found time for this in her crazy, hectic life.


( The worst part of the whole arrangement, Rodney thinks, is that his parents aren't even vegetarians. )

Title: Semantics
Author: icantfollow
Characters/Pairings: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard, Teyla Emmagen/Carson Beckett
Prompt: #98 Writer's Choice
Spoilers: heavy for Sunday
Word Count: ~3000
Rating: PG13
Summary: love (lŭv) n. – A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness. The evolution of John and Rodney's relationship seen through Teyla's eyes as she struggles with feelings of loss, and the effort to understand and communicate.
A/N: This was something I wanted to write for awhile, though it evolved quite a bit after seeing Sunday. I finally sat down and gave it the attention it deserved.



( Semantics - now with cover art! )

Title: The Five Times John Sheppard Falls in Love at First Sight
Author: icantfollow
Rating: PG13

A/N: Set in the Life Less Ordinary universe.


( The Five Times John Sheppard Falls in Love at First Sight )

Title: Too Much Caffeine in Your Bloodstream
Author: icantfollow
Rating: PG13
Fandoms: SGA/SG1/ER/Grey's Anatomy/Lost/Eureka
Summary: John thinks that the best thing about Eureka is that the food is free.
A/N: Third in the Life Less Ordinary universe, follows Polaris. I keep forgetting to thank my beta, openice, who has fortunately not told me to stop.


( Even though there's plenty of time while they're packing and moving and unpacking and eating and having sex, somehow Rodney never mentions that John, as a junior member of Eureka's newly formed medical team, will, in fact, have a lot of time to sit around twiddling his thumbs. )

Title: Polaris
Author: icantfollow
Fandoms: SGA/SG1/ER/Lost/Grey's Anatomy/Eureka
Rating: PG13
Summary: John calls Rodney his Halley's Comet - but they both know it's more than just a pet name.

Follows Life Less Ordinary

( John is willing to admit that he's not such a big fan of summer in Chicago. )

Title: Life Less Ordinary
Author: icantfollow
Fandoms: SGA/ER/SG1/Eureka/Lost/Grey's Anatomy
Rating: PG13
Summary: Dr. John Sheppard likes Chicago; he likes the snow and the architecture and the food and the museums. He likes isolation, thrives on loneliness, excels at seclusion. He even likes the Cook County ER where he works, day after day, saving lives, the same routine. Then he accepts a colleague's invitation to Christmas dinner, and his private little world is invaded by an arrogant Canadian astrophysicist. Life will never be the same.

A/N: I wrote a fic that featured Derek Shepherd of Grey's Anatomy and Jack Shephard of Lost as John Sheppard's first cousins. Now I've decided to pretty much go all out and write a cracktastic crossover series featuring as many different characters from different shows as I could think of (who make some level of sense in this universe). In addition to the extreme number of Sheppards in modern television, I couldn't help noticing an extreme number of Carters...

Basically, this is an AU of Sheppard Family Reunion where John did decide to pursue a career in medicine just like his cousins.

Title: Wonderful Life
Author: icantfollow
Rating: PG13
Genre: AU
Summary: Everyone knows John Sheppard has a hero complex - except John Sheppard. During a Wraith attack on Christmas, his grumpy guardian angel Rodney stops by to show him how much he's sacrificed for others, and what life would be like if he'd never been born, the idiot.
A/N: Loosely based on It's a Wonderful Life. And by loosely I mean very. I was trying to get this done in time for Christmas, but had a difficult time on the ending. At least it's done in time for the new year.

Hey, everyone, I just wanted to say how much I really appreciate all your positive feedback. I stumbled into this fandom almost by accident, but I love it, so it's nice to know that I'm sharing that love.

Now, so far all my fics have gone up un-betaed, fixed later if I notice some typo or something, but it'd be nice to have someone to bounce ideas off of, or get feedback from before everyone gets to see it, just to keep me on track. I'm planning a larger holiday-themed piece (I think) over the next few weeks, and it'd be great to have encouragement. If anyone's interested in the job, let me know.

And here it is, your moment of zen:

Title: Close Your Eyes and Think of Ascension
Author: icantfollow
Rating: PG13
Spoilers: Tao of Rodney
Summary: Episode Tag - "The way one friend feels about another friend." Yeah, right.
A/N: I'll be honest - the title's my favorite part. XD It really deserves a pr0nish story, but I can't write that, so there's this instead.

Title: Things John Sheppard Fears
Author: icantfollow
Rating: PG-13 (for language)
Genre: Drama, Character Study
Spoilers: Phantoms (very, very mild)
Summary: "What are you so afraid of?"
A/N: More chat!fic will be forthcoming, but I wanted do a more serious piece with images, because I've been inspired by openice and very_rotten. It was originally not going to be so serious (as I was planning to use 'clowns' for one segment), but this piece had a mind of its own. I love it when that happens.

( I think I love you, so what are you so afraid of? )
