John is the top male figure skater in the world, Rodney is the captain of Canada's hockey team. They run into each other at the winter Olympics.

“Colonel John Sheppard knew, from the moment he first met Dr Rodney McKay, that the man would be trouble.” This novel-length story is a prequel to General & Dr Sheppard telling the story of how the AU John and Rodney first got together.

"You can't make a sub the military commander of Atlantis," Ford said.

Rodney had been trained for his position from near infancy. He had excelled in his studies and been selected for the apprenticeship over candidates twice his age. Now, years later, Rodney held the second most powerful position in the village. There was no one else who could do what he did. That didn’t make it any less meaningless.

For the prompt 'AU: aliens'. Major Teyla Emmagen leaves for the Pegasus galaxy.

In his rational mind, Rodney knew that following a girl who'd dumped you was really, really pathetic.

Just your every day modern street gang of ragamuffins.
