Title: Blessings of the Ancients
Author: [info]ldyanne
Summary: Gifts team Sheppard received that they didn't even know they wanted.
Genre: PreSlash
Rating: G
Author’s Notes: There could be spoilers for anything. Also, this is AUish because I’ve referred to things from some of the later seasons after Elizabeth and Carson are gone, but in my world Elizabeth and Carson are still on Atlantis, so they’re here as well.
With thanks to my beta chocolatephysicist for her eagle eye and her support. Any mistakes remaining are my own.

The story is behind the cut )

Finally closing the Aliens-Made-Them-Do-It challenge; you can read the responses here and here.

New challenge: [info]linziday suggested that, since its the start of the holiday season, we do a gift giving challenge: "team gifts, good gifts from outsiders, bad gifts from the Ancients, gifts of life or love... so many gift possibilities!" (Not to mention The Gift!)

Today's November 26; this challenge will not close before December 15 at midnight.

Rating: PG, gen
Character: Team
Word count: 2000
Warnings/Spoilers: None
A/N: Little bit fluffy, little bit plot-lite. Hope you enjoy it all the same!
Summary: Somehow, no one remembered that this was supposed to be a trade negotiation. But no one cared.

Many hands make light work )

Rating: PG, gen
Character: Team
Word count: 1580
Warning: fluffy borderline-crack. But hey, it was fun to write!
A/N: un-betaed (please let me know of any horrors); concrit encouraged.
Summary: Teyla didn't quite roll her eyes, but it was a near thing. "You must sing something, John."

It wasn't that John didn't pay attention. )
 
 
Title: Wraith and Rings
Rating: PG-13, gen
Character: OC
Disclaimer: Not mine (except the mistakes), no harm meant.
Warnings: Complete wacky alien hijinks fail. Sorry.
Summary: This is the simplest story that those who travel the rings now tell. The Wraith came, and we ran, and everyone else died.
A/N: Prequel to 'The City is an Island', written for the h/c challenge - this is Janel's fractured journey from the Five Towns to the City. It is rather obliquely AMTDI, but, dammit, it's not their galaxy...

Title: Never Bet Against (SGA Flashfic AMTDI Challenge)
Author: [info]michelel72
Rating: Everybody
Genre: Team; gen; silliness.
Wordcount: ~1500
Timeline/Spoilers: Vaguely early season five, I suppose.
Warnings: None, I think, except for a lame probably-not-even-pun.
Disclaimer: Plot mine; Stargate characters and environments not. (Transformative work.)
Notes: I've never done flashfic before, but I'm trying to learn how to write anything non-angsty and anything under 15,000 words. I only missed the suggested upper limit here by half again, so that's actually pretty good for me! I'm sure this has been done before, but it popped straight into my head when I saw this challenge and I couldn't resist. I'm also breaking my own rule against posting without first using a beta, so please feel free to let me know of anything I missed. Also available at my journal.

Summary: John really should have known better than to bet against Ronon.

Never Bet Against )
 
 
Current Mood: nervous

Summary: "Oh, God. I can't take you seriously in that hat."

You look like Carmen Miranda, Sheppard )
 
 
Current Mood: giggly
 
 
Very very belatedly closing the In Memoriam challenge, which (wow) you might want to check out if you didn't see it, because there was some gorgeous writing on display. You can find the 12 stories here and here, using the challenge tags, or in the community memories.

And now--at [info]kriadydragon's request--an Aliens Made Them Do It challenge. She was surprised we hadn't done one before, but it looks like we haven't! However, she suggests that we think outside the box in terms of "it": Aliens make the team dress up as clowns and scare Sheppard just for laughs (or as lemons to scare McKay). Aliens make Ronon write romantic poetry. Aliens make Rodney babysit. Aliens make Teyla babysit Rodney. The possibilities are endless :D"

Make them do it! Today is October 12; your humble mod will be busy toward the end of this month, so we'll give this one a full month. Challenge will run until Nov 12, 2009 at midnight eastern.
 
 
Title: Rogue Angel
Author: [info]scarlet_gryphon
Words: ~1,247
Rating: PG/T
Warnings: None
Notes: AU. Set sometime before Vegas. Reviews and concrit much appreciated. I was tempted to use another icon of mine, but I figured it'd give away the plot a bit... *grin* Edit: Heh. Looks like I got this one in just under the wire...
Summary: Home is behind/The world ahead./And there are many paths to tread. (Or, how a lost soul found its way home.)



Ad astra per aspera. )

Title: Lazarus Rising
Author: ceitie
Characters: Gen; Carson, Elizabeth
Rating: PG
Word count: 1,245
Warning: None
Spoilers: Everything up until and including 5x07, Whispers
Summary: In Pegasus, you take your miracles where you find them.
Author Notes: This takes place sometime in Season 5, after Whispers. I obviously took some liberties with the ending of This Mortal Coil. Also, I stole the summary from a Grey's Anatomy episode, the title from many, many places, and there's a quote by Mark Twain in there too.

Title: In aqua vitae memorias
Rating: G, gen
Disclaimer: Not mine (except the mistakes), no harm meant.
Summary: In vino veritas, in aqua sanitas. In wine there is truth, in water there is health - in the water of life there are memories.
A/N: My first idea for this challenge was something else entirely, and while I still want to write it, it's all epic and 'grr', and I got distracted by this, which is altogether lighter. And shorter.

Title: Memorial Walk

Rating:PG
Genre: Gen
Word Count: over 2500

Summary: Ignorance was never an excuse in the Pegasus Galaxy. It just made you dead quicker. This they had learned during their first year and it was their duty to teach those that came after.
