tanaquiljallTwo of these were written for MAJORs' birthdays.
Elves wanted
Characters: Me ("Sarahbeth" "Barlas"" or "elves" I don't really care), Shep, Dex, Carson, and a Black Arabian horse (what? I like horses and I plan to own a black Arabian) OH!!! and we have GOT to have Duct Tape in there, too ;-) *doesn't need to be a "character" but didn't know where else to put it*
Setting: Atlantis
Scenario: Think about it, 15-year-old girl on her B-day w/ a horse on Atlantis... could be entertaining.
Dark Stallions
"You can't keep that in Atlantis!" Carson backed away from the magnificent black Arabian standing foursquare in the gate room.
"Your earth birthday custom is to give gifts." Dex shrugged and smiled at the pretty girl gentling the horse. "This is what Sarahbeth wanted."
Sheppard strode down the stairs, carrying a roll of duct tape. "We'll take him to the mainland in a puddlejumper." He deftly fashioned a bridle to slip over the beast's head. Lightly leaping onto its back, he held his hand down to Sarahbeth so he could settle her before him and circle her with his arms.

Reyclou wanted: Shep trying to wrangle plot bunnies so I can get on with "Remnants"
Fearsome foes
Sheppard clutched his P-90 more tightly and watched the circling creatures. "What are they?" He risked a momentary glance over his shoulder at where Reyclou sat furiously tapping away at her computer.
"Plotbunnies." Reyclou kept her eyes on the screen. "Just hold them off while I finish this…"
Taking advantage of his distraction, a plotbunny darted in and nipped Sheppard's shin. "Ow!" As the others began to close, he pulled out his sidearm and loosed a bullet into the air. The plotbunnies scattered.
"You know I'd do anything for you, Reyclou, but these are worse than the Wraith…" Sheppard muttered.
***
And this was written for sgafan, "just because". A moment after The Storm/The Eye, with a little foreshadowing of Siege 2
Choice and Consequence
"Thought I'd killed you." John stared out across the now placid sea.
"But you didn't." Elizabeth raised her face gratefully to the warm morning sun.
"Thought I was so smart…." John's voice trailed off. He heard again the crackle of the radio, the gunshot, the silence….
"Kolya pulled the trigger, not you," Elizabeth reminded him softly. Receiving no reply, she touched his arm. "John?"
He turned and faced her: her expression was stern, but he caught the glint in her eye.
"Get over it. Next time you can be the one to lay your life on the line for me."
