Title:Twenty Years of Ys
Author: ficontessa
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 9,615
posted date 07 August 2020
description: John and Rodney were both actors on the beloved Wormhole Extreme spinoff, Lost City of Ys. Now they're meeting again at a convention, twenty years later.

Title:It’s No Better To Be Safe Than Sorry
Author: zoemathemata
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 41,322
posted date 02 August 2020
description: While no one knows the real identity of the Falcon and his band of soldiers, the entire ton is familiar, and perhaps a little in love, with his exploits. The Falcon swoops into Genii controlled areas - daring and audacious - freeing scientists and information. The ton is a light with gossip: they say the Falcon flies in and out as daringly as his namesake suggests. They his recklessness is unmatched. They say he can’t be caught.
Marchioner Rodney McKay-Sheppard most certainly does not have the constitution for such treacherous, and fearsome work, but he does what he can to support the cause. A brilliant a scientist, Rodney designed the cryptography system the Falcon uses to keep messages between the Falcon and his allies secure from prying Genii eyes. It has remained maddeningly impervious to any Genii attempts to crack it, while the Genii’s own cyphers are easily broken and laid bare by him.
If only his marriage to the Marquis John Sheppard was as simple for him to solve as the Genii codes.
**Inspired by The Scarlet Pimpernel**

word count: 10,322
posted date 23 July 2020
description: Sometime after the death and funeral of Lt Col John Sheppard's father, John goes on an off-world medical mission by the special request of, and with Dr Jennifer Keller…
why this should be read: I like to think of myself as a nice person but, damn, sometimes some Keller bashing is all I need. (Sorry, Jewel Staite, I love you!)
Title:A Private Matter
Author: christinchen
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 4,689
posted date 20 July 2020

posted date 11 July 2020
description: The first and last time that Rodney hooked up with Caldwell, the Colonel was host to a Goa'uld. While the base is under lockdown while Phebus and Thalen war with one another, Rodney tries to deal with the awkward aftermath of sleeping with a Goa'uld.
why this should be read: I make no bones about loving McKay/Caldwell and I am 100% on board with scarletmanuka when they say that the sexual tension between the two of them was off the charts in this episode.

Title:Wild Card
Author: GillianInOz

posted date 04 July 2020
description: An alternate reality where The Trust tried to destroy the Atlantis Expedition before it had even begun. The wild card instead changes everything, putting Major Sheppard in command of an expedition cut off from Earth.
The choices he makes shape a very different Atlantis from the one we know, and six years later a very different Atlantis from the one Earth expects.
why this should be read: an awesome independent Atlantis au
Title:Doc Mack
Author: mific
Pairing:: McShep
word count: 30,800
posted date 14 August 2020
description: Dr. Rodney McKay, MD, Ph.D., has developed a blood phobia that's forced him to leave his prestigious New York surgical post to be the doctor in Pegasus Harbor, Maine. He's a medical genius with appalling social skills and he's never really been at home anywhere, let alone a small coastal town - a town filled with quirky characters where everyone knows everyone's business, and where Rodney meets another lonely man, Police Chief John Sheppard, who takes a very personal interest in the town's new doctor. Their new relationship is threatened however as Rodney's beset by crisis after crisis, overshadowed by the blood phobia that might mean he's unable to practice medicine at all.
why this should be read: If anyone ever told me that someone would McShep the UK ITV drama Doc Martin starring Martin Clunes then I would have laughed. More fool me because this is amazing.
