( Part Two )

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Title: Opportunity Knocks
Author: Quasar (quasar273)
Rating: PG
Date written: June/July, 2008
Length: ~10000 words
Spoilers: Set mid 4th season, sometime after Quarantine and before Kindred

Summary: A disgruntled minion hands Rodney an opportunity in disguise.

Author's notes: Tried to do something short and fluffy and plotless. Maybe I succeeded at fluffy.

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis, Stargate: SG-1, The Sentinel
Title: Cross Talk
Author: Quasar (quasar273
Rating: R
Pairing: Jim/Blair, John/Rodney
Date written: February 2008
Length: 4300 words
Summary: Jim and Blair's perspective on events in the Criss-Cross universe.
Notes: Just a bit of self-indulgent fluff for my Criss-Cross series. This one takes place immediately after Cross Country and shortly before Crossing Paths. Here's a summary of the series, which contains links to the stories (and some story spoilers).

( Cross Talk )

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Title: Vujà Dé
Author: Quasar (quasar273)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: John/Rodney
Date written: February 2008
Length: ~11,000 words

Spoilers: many eps up to 4x15 Outcast
Warnings: borderline underage (15 year old with 16 year old)

Summary: It's bad enough being a teenager and probably gay, but going crazy makes it all worse.

( Vuja De )

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Title: Inflated Frogs
Pairing: Sheppard/McKay
Rating: borderline between R and NC-17
Word Count: ~18,700
Warnings: character death
Spoilers: Second half of Season 3, from The Return through Submersion

Summary: Why is the new scientist blackmailing Rodney? And why is Rodney giving in?

A/N: Some stories practically write themselves; this was not one of them. Many, many thanks to my husband and to the kind folks at words_count for listening to me gripe about this story almost every day for a month and a half, and encouraging me anyway. And special thanks to oriolegirl for the beta!

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Title: Paging Colonel Sheppard
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard preslash
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~8000
Spoilers: Takes place during 3x10 'The Return,' so anything up to then is fair game
Warnings: language, rampant homophobia
Summary: Rodney learns that Sheppard's gift for getting into trouble is genetic.
Author's Notes: Written for the sga_flashfic backstory challenge. This version is slightly better polished.


( Paging Colonel Sheppard )

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Title: The Taming of The Fly
Pairing: Sheppard/McKay
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~13,000
Warnings: M/M sex, not-quite-human
Summary: Rodney wants to regain the Colonel's trust, so he's going to help him get over that little mutating-into-a-bug problem.

A/N: Written for slashfest. I owe a debt of inspiration to Seperis's Shed Your Skin and Martha Wilson's Transition Point. I was thinking of doing something like this before I found the request for it, so the story sort of ran away with me.

Title: Skew Lines 6: Entr'Acte
Author: Quasar
Rating: R
Pairing: McShep
Warnings: mention of non-con
Spoilers: Through 'The Return, Part 1'
Length: 7,000 wds
Summary: Gab gab gab, atmospheric re-entry, gab gab, kiss!
Author's Note: Missing scenes for 'The Return, Part 1' and part of my Skew Lines series. Reading the previous installments in the series is strongly recommended. With this story, the Skew Lines series comes to a close resolution pausing point. I'm not sure when or how I'll continue for the second half of third season; I might call that a different series.

Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis, Stargate: SG-1, (The Sentinel)
Title: Crossing Paths
Author: Quasar
Rating: PG
Pairing: John/Rodney, (Jim/Blair)
Date written: January 2006
Length: ~3,000 words
Summary: Dr. Beckett figures out where the O'Neill and Sheppard family trees intersect.
Notes: This is sort of an outtake from my Criss-Cross series. I'm not sure whether I want it to be an "official" part of the series or not, or exactly where it would fit in if so. In case you don't know that series and don't want to read many kilowords of backstory, here's a brief summary of the pertinent events.

( Crossing Paths )

This was a huge pain to write. I really struggled with it. It was supposed to be subtle and slow-building, but it probably just came out slow and either too obscure or too obvious, I'm not sure which. Subtlety has never been my strength.

Title: Skew Lines 4: True, Whole, and Nothing But
Author: Quasar
Rating: R
Pairing: McShep
Warnings: mention of non-con
Spoilers: Through 'McKay and Mrs. Miller'
Length: 7,000 wds
Summary: The best thing about Rodney McKay is that he's honest, mostly.
Author's Note: Episode tag for 'McKay and Mrs. Miller' and part of my Skew Lines series. Reading the previous installments in the series is strongly recommended.

( True, Whole, and Nothing But )

I need a kick, so I'll just post a teaser and y'all can kick me to finish the rest! I am writing, but it's not the same with NaNoWriMo and Yuletide over (sigh...)

Hey, y'know what this series needs? Some cover art! Or maybe an icon. Anybody want to make a nice OTPx2 manip for Team Ellison?

Title: Cross Country, part 1
Author: Quasar
Rating: borderline R/NC-17
Pairing: John/Rodney, Jim/Blair
Date written: December 2006-February 2008 (whew!)
Length: ~20,000 words (whole story)
Summary: Salvage of equipment, people, and relationships.
Notes: This is the fourth story in my Criss-Cross series (thanks to jya_bd_cp_ttgb for the name suggestion!). Read the other stories first, or continue at your peril. You can also read a summary of the series, which does contain some spoilers for the stories.

Title: Cross Training, Part One
Author: Quasar
Rating: R
Pairing: John/Rodney, Jim/Blair
Date written: November 2006
Length: ~26,000 words (whole story)
Summary: Explorations and discoveries, a wormhole to Earth, a spy, a new drug, attempted escape, daring rescue. Also, some schmoop, a hint of smut, some silliness, and lots of talking over food.
Notes: This is a sequel to my stories Cross Product and Cross Multiplication; read those first or you will be very confused. This one was also written for NaNoWriMo, so don't be surprised by editorial insufficiency.

Title: Cross Multiplication, Part Two
Author: Quasar
Rating: R
Pairing: John/Rodney, Jim/Blair
Date written: November 2006
Length: ~20,000 words (whole story)
Summary: After being returned to his own universe, John Sheppard finds that everything has changed.
Notes: This is a sequel to Cross Product, and may not make much sense unless you read that one first. However, having been written for NaNoWriMo, this story has a different, lazy, rambling style, with minimal editing. Caveat lector.
