secondary skills

[madwitch58.livejournal.com]

I am looking for fic where the Atlantis crew has useful secondary skills, or hobbies. The kind of skills that would be useful if somehow Atlantis was cut off from Earth and had to fend for Her self. Like some of the crew are members of the SCA, or recreationist. Thank you.

Oh nononononono, my inanimate friend!

I just re-watched Grace Under Pressure, and I was struck by this part that I had forgotten about.  Early in the episode, Rodney argues with the jumper, like so:

"Oh come on!  A little heat's gonna cost me forty minutes?!  Is that really how you want this to go down, huh?  You wanna freeze me to death?  You sure you wouldn't rather I imploded with you, ya- ya lemon!  Do you even have an opinion anyways you- you- no!  Why?  Because you are an inanimate object!  Does that stop me from talking to you?  OH nononono, my inanimate friend, because I have been struck upon the head, you see?!"

Which made me love Rodney even more because I talk to inanimate objects all the time.

My request is this:  Are there any fics where Rodney talks to, yells at, cajoles, or bargains with inanimate objects? 

Secondary request:  Are there any fics where any character (Zelenka, Sheppard, Lorne, Parrish, anybody) talks to inanimate objects?

I realize this is an oddly general yet obscure request, so I'd be shocked and grateful if this turns up any responses.  :)

Looking for Severe Burn fics

Just got the movie "The Secret Life of Words" as a gift this week, and after re-watching it, I had this crazy urge to read sga fics where either Rodney or John suffers from severe burns.

McShep preferably, but it can be slash, gen or het (just say so, because I don't like all het parings out there).

I love H/C and I'm not afraid of AUs. Angst is our friend, but I prefer to cry over a fic if I have a happy ending waiting to comfort me at the end...

Sentinels

I've just read KeiraMarcos "Sentinels of Atlantis" and now I'm craving more!

McShep please - where they are Sentinel and Guide, doesn't matter who is what. Are there many stories of that variety out there?
