Two requests

[jo-lee.livejournal.com]

1. Any stories where someone tries to force Rodney to do something and then find that they've bitten off way more than they can chew. I'd particularly like stories where it's the SGC/Atlantis command trying to control him.

2. Any stories where Rodney kills someone or makes an impossible choice out of mercy for someone else. I read As Sorrow a few days ago and now I'm craving more (warning: not for the squeamish - seriously!)

I'll read any pairing or length but long McKay/Sheppard makes me happiest :o)

Oh wow! Thank you for this.

Sort of for #1: "Atlantis versus Samantha" (http://www.wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=15686) by Meagra Solace (No Pairings) -- It's more that Carter is trying to make Rodney adhere to SGC practices as developed by her & then sentient!Atlantis making 'her' opinion of Carter's words/actions known. Could be considered OOC.

Thank you :o)

Standing in for Atlas (http://community.livejournal.com/nixa_jane/64904.html#cutid1) by laytoncolt. PG-13, John/Rodney. He makes very hard decision.

A foot in your door (http://web.archive.org/web/20080403214329/www.improvidence.net/foot.html) by lilysaid. NC-17, John/Rodney. Rodney makes unbearable decision for John's sake.

Example that fits perfectly into the second request is The Sacrificial Mage (http://www.alyse.info/sesa_files/TheSacrificialMage.htm) by Leah. You probably have read it but still :). John/Rodney, R.

Iteration (http://wraithbait.com/viewstory.php?sid=12380) by MistoKitt. PG-13, John/Rodney. Rodney wants to save John and uses tile-altering device but other people start dying.

:) Except wait, how do I make a really creepy smileyface?

[jo-lee.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I hadn't thought of 'Sacrificial Mage' in connection with this but you're right, it's perfect. I've read the others before but I 'd completely forgotten about it 'Iteration' so thank you for the reminder :o)

For #1

Death by Fondue is hilarious.

Someone regrets kidnapping McKay - not quite what you asked for but worth reading for the McSnark

I'm really glad you enjoyed (if that's the right word) As Sorrow and The Sacrificial Mage. You've made me very happy. :D

This story is a bit off the track of what you asked for, but it did come to mind because the bad guys hurt John and Rodney makes them really, really regret it. Please make sure you read the warnings, though. :)

Thank you, this is another one I hadn't thought of in connection to my request but it's perfect. I love it when McKay really puts his mind to causing disruption :o)

[jo-lee.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I love your writing - it hurts in just the right way. I headed over to Wraithbait and read everything of yours as soon as I finished 'As Sorrow' :o)

[taste-is-sweet.livejournal.com]

Wow. I'm truly honoured. Thank you.
