Five time Rodney couldn’t sleep: Z
oo thank you! I've had a search and I don't have one starting with Z, but I'll be cheeky!
Z
He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block everything out, including that voice that sounded horrifically like his conscience.
Can I get a J and an R for the 5 times? ♡♡♡
of course you can, lovely, thank you! Although we don't actually have the right J at the start of a sentence!:
J:
Jeannie managed it, she knew when to stop before crossing the line, whilst he just kept pelting forwards.
R:
Rodney wiggled towards him, only huffing slightly at the loss of his view.
Hmmmm. three wips... then three letters it is... lol. Your choice for an A, B and C. 😉
ahhhh thank you! Okay so...there may have been some others asking for the SGA one, so I'm really sorry, I'll need to branch out into the others! It's been sitting with me so bloody long that I've probably shown the whole 5+1 in WIP Wednesday snippets!
A - P&P Benji/Brandt AU:
"...Although, there is always the concern that if he meets you first, he may prefer you above the girls." Benji turned his attention to his plate, his lips twitching in spite of himself.
B - Mycroft's arrested
But no self-respecting cabbie would take him with a face covered in blood.
C - McShep 5+1
Clothes had been thrown aside, littering his floor, and then they'd stumbled to bed.
WIP Wednesday
the weeks go quickly, don’t they?! Thank you @fangirlsalad & @wholesomevampire

Tagging: @sirmatthew1972, @sgatazmy @friedcheesemogu @solarmorrigan (no pressure at all!)
i can't lie to you i loveee bad endings sometimes. what if nothing worked out. what if the characters gave into their worst instincts. what if they became worse. what if there's truly no hope left. what will they do out of desperation? who will they become as their worst selves?

While I see this is a behind the scenes clip, I instead head canon that this is McShep finding out DADT is over and deciding to get engaged.
Radek Zelenka + being Done with Rodney McKay for @esotericfaery
ahhh Mycroft getting arrested is finished! just got to proof-read...but...what do I do without it?!
VARADA SETHU as Belinda Chandra
💜 I’m always down for Benji/Brandt silliness, (though I have no idea how how much you’ve worked on this so feel free to skip me entirely ✌️)
Thank you! I've actually made a proper start on the exposition at the start, which is very exciting! It's now the first on my ellipsus list!
I think my dearest bit so far is the relationship between Benji and Jane, who I'm using in place of Charlotte Lucas. You probably know but in the book Charlotte and Lizzy have completely different ideas of love; Charlotte's just looking for a comfortable home, whilst Lizzy's thinking about real, true love.
And so in this fic, because Benji and Jane are friends, the idea developed naturally that they should become semi-engaged. It stops awkward questions coming Benji's way (he's a gentleman, so there's still a part of him that's prepared to step aside if Jane finds true love) and for Jane it gives her stability and the assurance of a respectable life. So after that stupidly long description, have a little snippet (that definitely doesn't link heavily to the book after Charlotte gets engaged to Mr Collins...):
It hadn't taken long for him to agree. If she was quite sure, then an engagement certainly seemed like the best of both worlds. Sir William was delighted with Benji's application for his eldest daughter, however Mrs Bennet was…rather less so. She objected quite strongly, leaving Benji in no doubt that should the marriage ever take place, she'd be but a stranger to him for the rest of his life. As tempting as the offer was, he knew her ire would last only so long. If they simply waited, perhaps until Julia had made a promising match, she'd settle. And so they waited. Their engagement wasn't widely known, mostly because Mrs Bennet refused to have the story spread, but it was enough security for them both. Jane's brothers stopped their talk of fearing she'd grow to be an old maid, and Lady Lucas took a little more care to inspect the proportions of the Longbourn rooms whenever she was invited.
📝 for five times Rodney couldn't sleep...👀
Thank you! Ooo so snippets definitely suggests plural, so I may get excited here...apologies!
The crook of his arm was aching. Briefly he wondered if it might be infected. He'd poured copious amounts of antiseptic on it when he'd cleaned himself up, before bandaging it as best he could. He'd even changed the bandages in the evening, when he'd realised he probably needed something against the skin, not just his uniform. It hadn't looked pretty, but it wasn't red or inflamed. He'd promised himself if it was he'd go to Carson's witchdoctors and get them to sort it out.
Okay so this snippet, if you can't guess, is post-The Eye after Cory Monteith's hurt poor Rodney. And as I was writing it, I kept on thinking back to this wonderful fic I read ages ago where Rodney doesn't get his arm checked out, it gets infected and it's just beautiful angst and h/c. Alas, that's not the route I've gone down for this section of the fic, 'cause I didn't want it getting ridiculously long, but just know I'm holding myself back when you read this one!
Damn Samantha Carter. Damn her to…somewhere. There she was, all high and mighty. Acting as if she was the smartest person in the room, just because she had more hand's on experience with 'Gate technology. Come on now.
A different section here. I've not had much experience of writing pre-Atlantis Rodney, so this post-48 Hours was really fun to write. I have a very specific Rodney that I write, which I'm aware probably isn't as close to canon as I'd like, so getting to branch out into a time when he's properly cacooned in his arrogance and pride was so enjoyable. Plus, it gives the chance to add in a tiny bit of character growth, when he starts to think that maybe he's not actually as good as he wants everyone to believe.
And now, tucked up in bed, only a few minutes after he'd heard the front door slam, his parents were arguing again. He could hear his name drifting up through the floorboards. Just to really slam the point home again. Apparently it was his fault. Their marriage falling apart. Their family breaking down. If you listened often enough you'd think he'd have engineered every problem they had.
Okay, last snippet otherwise I'll be posting the whole darn thing. But this is kid!Rodney and I just can't ignore the idea that floats around the fandom (it's been a while since I've rewatched all of Atlantis, so I can't remember if it's actually official) that Rodney's childhood and his relationship with his parents was strained/unhappy. I started another fic where Rodney has to relive a worst memory from childhood, but I don't think that'll ever be finished, so instead it's been subsumed into this and my previous 5+1 about Rodney's birthdays. At least my desperate need for Rodney to be thoroughly unhappy in his childhood is getting some sort of outlet!
💜 What's currently nearest and dearest on your list? ♡
Thank you!
I have to admit, that the Mycroft getting arrested is probably my nearest and dearest. It's just sat in the background, slowly getting added to when inspiration strikes, but it's one I really enjoy. It's got terrible London geography (which I realised after actually walking the route he takes at the start of the fic the other week, and going oooooh...ah well, it's fiction!), angst, a slow burn romance and little hints of Sherlock being a protective brother, which are all surefire ways to my heart in other works.
And currently this is probably the bit that's tugging at my heartstrings the most:
Greg winced, “Yeah…but that means no one covering; no armed response. It’s too dangerous.” “We’ll be there.” Sherlock waved an airy hand, acting as if he and John were more than capable of taking on…whatever was out there. But Greg knew different. He’d seen plans like this go sideways before, he’d watched coppers he trusted, liked and respected get mown down because they’d underestimated the situation. “With John’s gun that should be locked up in a safe, as per his firearms license?” Greg shot back. “Come on, Greg —" John held up his hands, glass of water still in one of them, but Greg cut across him. “I said no! It’s not happening.” He placed a hand on the empty sofa cushion beside Mycroft, ready to push himself upright, but suddenly a hand covered his own. It was for the briefest of seconds, in fact he half-wondered later if he’d dreamt it, but then Mycroft spoke from beside him. “I’m afraid this isn’t quite your call, Gregory.” Mycroft murmured; he sounded resigned and exhausted, and Greg felt a powerful urge to protect him swell inside him. He couldn't let this happen! He just couldn't! He couldn't risk it!
So, this is me being predictably interested in the Rodney 5+1 times story... again. lol. Can I have a 🔨?
Of course you can, thank you very much!
Hmm okay, so I think the +1 is the part that's changed the most. I always knew I wanted the final bit to be something to do with the two of them, basically the two of them finally getting to be and Rodney not quite believing it, which is why he doesn't want to go to sleep. 'Cause then it could be a dream and that would just be a cruel trick of the mind.
BUT I've found myself tweaking it quite a lot to get it to feel more natural. At first it was going to be Rodney trying to keep himself awake, but then that felt a bit too...angsty in a way. It felt it added too much drama to it when actually what I wanted was a bit of almost fluff. Then the next bit got too soppy, which, sorry I just can't write for them (others make it work wonderfully, mine feels just wrong xD) and now I think I'm finally finished. So hopefully it'll get posted soon, but yeah that part's been my biggest bugbear.
whenever this gif pops up on my dash I’m instantly transported back to eleven years old, screaming at the TV on a school night.
