Ennui.

I would like to go to the gym tonight, I planned to, but I don't know that I'm going to. I'm in a blank and restless mood. I'd like to write, but don't know that I'll do that either. I see a vague shape in my future, large and green--it is becoming more clear now--it is...my couch.

So it's time to meme. Comment with the title of a story

A Brand New Set of Hands.

[eliade]

"A Brand New Set of Hands"

A terribly literal title. Rodney, who is occasionally an idiotic sort of genius, sticks his hands into a machine that's been discovered in a lab of Atlantis. The machine latches on and he yells a lot and everyone tries to free him, but when he is finally released, he finds that his own hands have been replaced with beautiful silver metal ones. He is wild, freaked out, and distraught until they start to evince special powers, and then he's like, hmm, cool.

John of course, is wildly turned on by them.

(By the way, when I said a "terribly literal title" I meant my own imaginary interpretation of it, and not your suggestion. *g*)

Pirates of Atlantis

[eliade]

"Pirates of Atlantis"

Ah, yes. So, really, the world on which Atlantis is situated is big. Very big. And it turns out that the SG expedition didn't really scan it all that well for life signs, as they learn one day when a pirate ship arrives by sea and launches an attack on the city. The base personnel are mostly bemused rather than alarmed, as the ship is firing small cannons that really don't do much harm.

John eventually goes out waving a white flag and invites the pirates to parley. Rodney is horrified when the pirates come into the city and loom around, unwashed and bearded, with odd little animals like monkeys perched on their shoulders. But then he confesses to John that when he was little, he really wanted to be a pirate. Still, when he's kidnapped for ransom by the pirate gang, he's alarmed and very loud.

They feed him stale bread.

Poor, poor Rodney.

And they turn him into a turtle so he can't escape!

hee!

Poor, poor Rodney. Stale bread. *shakes head*

Also, after he's rescued (or he rescues himself), I want him to have kept one of those monkey-like animals. Rodney deserves some pet company. *nods*

Home on Derange

[eliade]

"Home on Derange"

Rodney suffers a trauma that is both painful and kind of funny (er, yes... o.o) and goes off his nut, but seems really quite happy in his deranged state, and resists every attempt by Kate and Carson to return him to normal. Even in his normal state, Rodney often displays no social inhibitions--in his PTSD state he is both monumentally terrifying and hilarious. John is kind of enamored of him this way, in fact, and though he tries hard to keep a solemn, serious front around Elizabeth and Carson he is secretly cracking up over Rodney's acting out.

Rodney, daft, batty, haywire, wanders around Atlantis trailing his loose screws while John follows and tried to keep him from blowing anything up.

Also, Rodney hugs John a lot for no apparent reason.

When he's feeling a bit better, they have healing sex.

Also, for some reason when I wrote this story, I put in a lot of muffins and puppies. And then revised them out. So sad!

Oh wait--I'd forgotten. It wasn't actually trauma per se, but stress and overwork and lack of sleep. *nods*

Babes with Blades

[eliade]

This was my lighthearted Rodney/Teyla romantic comedy, where the team travels to a planet led by hot warrior babes who do exciting ceremonial demonstrations with big swords, which they also carry around on their broad, scantily-clad hips. Rodney walks around with glassy eyes (gaze fixed at breast level), breathing rather irregularly

The Night With The Pop Tarts.

[eliade]

That story of the fateful day--which later became night--when Rodney and Zelenka discover a food replicator. They feed it a bunch of vegetables, which it has no problem with. Then they feed it a Pop Tart. It of course promptly malfunctions. They can't figure out how to turn it off at first. By the time they do, they are hip-deep in replicated Pop Tarts. Strawberry.

They end up distributing the Pop Tarts to the Atlantis peeps and Athosians, who are pretty pleased with the results.

Then Rodney sneaks back into the lab and feeds it chocolate.

WHOOSH!
