Summary
"You're home now," she said as if they hadn't regarded Atlantis as home for a long time. "So what are you and your... friend doing now?"
"I'm teaching physics at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs. Carson's still with the SGC. Technically so am I, but we're not really..." He waved a hand a little. "Active." Carson was too much of a risk to have going through gates, and Rodney, well.
Rodney was dying, even if he didn't seem like it. Even if he still looked mostly healthy for Rodney, eyes bright and his mouth everywhere, smiling, frowning, everything.

Summary
It was a picture. A bad picture that maybe a child would've drawn but it was recognizably a turtle scratched with an inky claw and wobbly writing underneath saying 'YUM'.
He caught himself staring hard at the picture, and then at John, and his satisfied, ears canted forwards look. "No. You didn't, you couldn't. How did you even get in their shells?"
And then it struck him that his cat could spell.
The hazel green cat eyes looked back at him and it looked all the world like Sheppard was smiling at him. He had a cat who was *joking* with him. Who could *spell*. He'd known that was possible but hadn't appreciated it. Intellectually he knew there was a person in there but he had just imagined a more intelligent cat.
How much of a human mind was in there was no longer in question, because it was enough to do *that*, to come up with an ingenious way to mar a piece of paper with rudimentary tools. Rodney stared a little longer, and then leaned in to John and scratched the top of his head. "Huh. You're amazing, but I bet you knew that already. We need to work out a system for you."

Summary
John wasn't sure how he felt about that, because he and Seb had pretty much rampaged through the Companion training together, managing a timetable that had become legendary. They were the examples pointed out to others when they whined about their own workload. 'Could be worse, you could be one of the Holmes' Companions.'

Summary
He arrived home with a file full of documents and pictures but the preliminary Choice had been signed and sealed. Jim just felt something right about it and yeah, maybe Choosing a boy wasn't what his parents had in mind, but they could get a surrogate heir if necessary.

Armies Moving Close by perryvic, Zaganthi (Caffiends) for Mithen
Fandoms: A Study in Emerald - Neil Gaiman
25 Dec 2013
Tags
Summary
It is a common practice for those who weary of life to make use of those final moments. Those of a passive disposition offer themselves to the Royals of those tastes that polite society does not speak of, though it is known of course. Others cast their life into the defense of their country in such places as Baskerville and I should have known that the limping doctor would be of that type as well as myself.

Summary
If he didn't know better, he would swear that it was a Gate. But no-one would open a Gate to creation again, not after everything that had happened.

Summary
Lex didn't actually get a chance to move before one of the most extreme displays of mutant ability literally ripped apart the wall next to him and a figure floated in, crackling with an aura of electromagnetic discharge. And fuck, he looked extremely pissed.

Seb flung an arm over his shoulder, holding him close and panting, half-sitting up as he held on to John, with Sherlock kneeling behind them both, his tentacles still clinging.

Cry Me a River by perryvic, Zaganthi (Caffiends)
Fandoms: Hannibal Lecter Series - All Media Types, Hannibal Lecter Tetralogy - Thomas Harris, Stargate Atlantis
31 Oct 2013
Tags
Summary
He shouldn't do this, but Atlantis was declassifying piece by piece and with it came the fresh remembrances of the godawful job he had done protecting people he cared about. The fact he woke the Wraith, the shooting of Sumner, the deaths of each and every marine because he was suddenly in charge and he wasn't prepared for that. Every hurt, every injury, every thing, just bubbling back to the surface from where he had tried to ignore them.

Summary
"Finish eating, we'll grab a few beers, sit on the sofa with a bit of paper to write things down," John said. "I can't believe you were doing things like this with people you didn't trust."

Summary
"I don't seem to recall consenting to being framed for murder. Or for being told I was mentally ill when I had encephalitis. I'm not sure I was actually in a state to consent. I know you. I... you're offended that you're not quite able to manipulate this to your benefit." He turned, looking at Hannibal -- wild around the eyes, yes, and a little desperate, too, but his body was wired tight and trying to show none of that. "I forget, what's the timer on this thing?"

East or West by perryvic, Zaganthi (Caffiends)
Fandoms: Stargate Atlantis, Stargate SG-1
18 Aug 2013
Tags
Summary
Left or right, east or west. He was remembering the direction of the stars. Remembering how he had figured the direction to Kandahar and Kabul from the sky. He knew how to navigate using the sky. The ground, he found a little more tricky.

An Alternate Universe -- if John Sheppard hadn't been part of the original expedition, would the wraith still be Atlantis' greatest threat?

Summary
That was why he was protecting the two freemen contractors. They were important to the program, he'd been told. And they were probably so boring that normal people would cut their wrists if they were stuck in a conversation with them.

Glitter and Glass by perryvic, Zaganthi (Caffiends)
Fandoms: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, DCU (Comics)
28 Jul 2013
Tags
Summary
It wasn't a complete tragedy. as some people seemed to think, that he had bought out of his bond-debt, and then fallen afoul of a House War. There was a lot of responsibility in being Free and frankly the privileges hadn't exactly outweighed the responsibilities.
In a dystopian world of Houses and House Wars, crimes must still be solved, and points adjudicated.

Summary
"I needed to clear my head. I'm living up in Jackpot, actually. I'm doing all right. As well as I can be. Greg, I called... because I have something to tell you, and also because I'm worried about you."
"Worried? Griss we haven't spoken since we got back," Greg said and was embarrassed to hear his voice crack totally unbidden. "I get why, that's not a problem... and I'm guess you're calling to tell me what I already know. If you're waiting to come back to CSI because I'm there, you don't have to worry anymore. I'm not there right now." Not until he got a clean bill of health, physical and mental -- which would be never at this rate.

Fandoms: Wild Wild West (TV)
23 Dec 2012
Tags
Summary
In better spirits than he'd been when he got there, Artemus turned and wished he hadn't heard anything at all about a military delegation. Of all the goddamn luck. James West... newly promoted from the looks of the snappy sharp cut to his dress uniform. Not that he had anything against James, quite the opposite in fact, but he didn't need the distraction and James distracted him.

Pray your gods by perryvic, Zaganthi (Caffiends) for shadowkeeper

18 Dec 2012
Tags
Summary
It was understood that regardless of what case Lestrade brought us in the meantime, when She sent her envoy, it would be my friend's new focus. He slept feverishly that night, and I did not sleep at all. There were half thoughts, fringe memories of that flat mirrored lake and the slick of incomprehensible eldritch limbs against my skin. I gave up on sleep, made tea in the kitchen and doctored it with laudanum, serving the both of us. It made for a lazy morning the next day, and my back was quite poorly as I slept on the floor of his room.

Summary
New city, new case, new time and space. Nightshift wasn't a big stretch for Will, though he did crave a little more coffee than he usually drank at night. Stokes and Sanders were nervous, and Hannibal had sort of heralded that with his natural demeanor. Now it was Will's side task to put the locals at ease so he could actually *work* with them to solve the case.

Out on the Edge by perryvic, Zaganthi (Caffiends)
Fandoms: Stargate Atlantis, Red Dragon - Thomas Harris
26 Oct 2012
Tags
Summary
It seemed Will had a thing for being with people, talking, human contact and... Well all of the other stuff too. It was interesting to mix the two, to trust Will to balance it in a way that wouldn't give it away to the rest of the table. They'd started pretty simple before heading out for dinner -- a plastic cock cage.
