Memeage!

I saw this meme a while back, and was intrigued, but didn't have time to do it then. So weeks later...

Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you something I knew, learned, or wondered about while writing it that didn't make it onto the page.

Hit me!

Okay, I always pick "The Brazil Misadventure" in the pitiful hope that you'll suddenly be inspired to write more of it. ;)

However, I know that's very irritating (doing it anyway!), so if you don't want to talk about that, how about "Invite First"?

Please!

Hee. I don't find that irritating at all. I just feel bad, because I don't like to disappointment Ambers!

But I can tell you something about "The Brazil Misadventure" that never made it onto the page. (Since the page stopped abruptly.) So, John and Rodney are doing some investigating...somewhere in Brazil (you see how well this story is thought out!) and somebody starts shooting at them, and John goes into hero mode, protecting Rodney, and firing back at the bad guys, scaring them off. He's kind of freaked out afterwards, checking Rodney for injuries, asking him a million times if he's sure he's okay. Rodney's not one to go on gut. He's all about the evidence. That's what makes him a good CSI. But he's absolutely convinced by this whole incident that John is innocent and that he's not going to hurt Rodney, no matter how much of a tough guy he likes to pretend to be.

Rodney declares as much to John and says that from now on he's not John's prisoner anymore. They're working together on this thing. Also, he wants a decent meal and a drink. John tries to intimidate him, but Rodney refuses to fall for it, and finally John has to throw up his hands and take Rodney to this little cantina he knows.

Over beer, Rodney comes out with, "So, how long were you sleeping with your commanding officer?"

John snorts beer out his nose and tries to deny they were involved, but Rodney fixes him with this "oh please" look, and John sheepishly admits, "A little over a year."

Haltingly, John fills in the details, with much prompting from Rodney obviously, about how John and his CO fell in love and naturally how that's made being accused of his murder all that much harder. Rodney eventually figures out that the reason John will pleasure Rodney but won't allow Rodney to return the favor is that he's terrified of getting involved again. In twisted Sheppard logic, if he doesn't take anything for himself, somehow the sex doesn't count.

Rodney wants to know if anyone knew about the two of them, and John tells him about how the CO's wife confronted John about the affair, alternately begging and threatening him to leave her husband alone.

"Is that important?" John wants to know.

Rodney rolls his eyes. "Possible suspect!"

They go off to talk to the wife. And then...I have no idea what happens, except that they should have lots more sex! :)

Something from the Bric-A-Brac 'verse!

About the time Molly is ten, Rodney, who has never been a fan of normal, freaks out that she's never going to have a normal life, since she's spent no more than a few weeks at a time on Earth. He worries and fusses about it until John finally gives in and agrees that they'll resign from the Stargate program and go back to Earth and get regular jobs.

Molly does not take too well to this plan. She thinks it's dumb that the Stargate has to be a big secret on Earth, when it's just a part of everyday life back on Atlantis, and the fact that she has to open doors for herself she finds strangely insulting, and she's not supposed to tell anyone that she came out of her father's stomach, because Earth people don't get things like that.

So she begins Operation No More Normal, terrorizing her teachers and the other kids at school with her vivid tales of space vampires, knocking into doors and giving herself black eyes and even a concussion once, insisting to her fathers that she just keeps forgetting, until the school sends DCF to investigate. And finally, she causes an explosion in the science lab, which she insists would never have happened if she could have conducted her experiment in a proper facility with an actual force field.

Rodney tells John, "She's a horrible, manipulative...manipulator!"

John nods. "Yep. Just like every kid everywhere. Sounds pretty normal to me."

Rodney thinks that over for about a second and is all, "Thank God! Having to open doors myself is strangely insulting."

The Stargate program "lost" their resignations, so they pack up and move back home, and no one in the McKay-Sheppard family ever worries about being normal again.

Bwahaha! I love it. I can totally see a child of John and Rodney doing this. You're right - they belong on Atlantis, not opening their own doors. Thanks so much!

I do not have a question...but I would like you to know that I spent a fair amount of time wondering what "menage" had to do with your post, and what I was missing. :)

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

LOL! Yeah, I like the way your mind works.

[thisisbone.livejournal.com]
