I suppose I should add that I am attending university studying physics & astronomy -so characters like Sam Carter & Rodney McKay from Stargate are very near & dear to my heart. I tend to root for nerdy characters in general, unless they are irredeemable.
Also, I know I write at a glacial pace, I know. So if you're impatient -contact me and help me metaphorically chase my muse out of hiding with a 2x4 and Twix candy bars.

These Small Hours
Favorite lines from fanfic I've read:
“Um, that’s OK, I think we were getting to a tough decision point anyway.” John started stroking her back again, letting her know things were alright.
“Decision point?”
“Food or, uh, something else."
She raised an eyebrow at him. “You have only one arm and you wanted to take things slowly.”
"Hope springs eternal? Necessity is the mother of invention?” --John & Elizabeth, from 'Outcomes & Consequences' ch23 by flowk
"Yeah," Jack said gently, still smiling. "It gets boring on Earth, we need to wager about the lives of people we know." -from 'Unexpected' ch11 by Oparu
Ronon and Lorne often wear the same expressions during staff meetings -- part boredom, part 'Fuck, you people are morons. Insane morons.' -from 'Everybody's Got an Opinion' by Zeplum
"I second that," Caldwell muttered. "This fandom is insane. I've never seen so many irrational, random pairings in my life outside of Harry Potter fandom". McKay started frowning and he stared at Zelenka. "I've thought about this issue for a long time. It's possible that the fact that the writers of the show deliberately avoid any canon pairing support has led to this situation of absolute chaos for Atlantis shipping". -from 'Shipper Ground Zero' by koalathebear
"'Individuality' is the name you give your sickness. It is a deviation from correct functioning. We have come to free you from chaos and uncertainity. And 'individuality'." -from 'A Dark, Distorted Mirror' by Gareth Williams
"Look on the bright side, space bimbos, moonshine, Power Bars, space ships and two new planets every week. You even have the first office of your life."
"I have an office?" John raised an eyebrow.
"Where have you been keeping your laptop?"
"Under the armchair in the corner," John admitted. -Rodney & John from 'The Mission Report' by illman
Radek spreads his napkin on his lap, and butters his toast. "Precisely what I meant. Rodney is all--" he puts his knife down and flutters his hands "and while there is great value in shaking things up, not everyone works the way he does, flitting from problem to problem, mind going in several different directions at once. It is disruptive at times." He pauses, then adds, "and I am speaking as friend, of course." -from 'Polyphony' by thegrrrl
“We weren’t even-” She stopped abruptly, having had a epiphany, and jumped out of her chair in order to indignantly say, “He dumped me. He can’t dump me!”
“Whoa! Sam,” Daniel attempted to yank her back into her seat and looked decidedly nervous as he noticed the people staring at them. “You’re making a scene… And you weren’t dating him.”
“Oh.” Sam deflated a little and sat down with a thunk. “You’re right; I wasn’t… I just, well, I’ve never been let down in public like that before.”
“Okay. How about we go get some ice cream and chocolate and watch sad girly soap operas?”
Sam stared at him blankly. “Why don’t we just skip that and head to the gym so that I can punch something?”
“That works too.”
Unfortunately for the two of them, the gym was currently occupied by John Sheppard and Rodney McKay, which would have been okay had the two men not been arguing. Daniel quickly led Sam out of the room before the two distracted men could notice them.
“Oh God, I turned him gay.” Sam exclaimed, still in shock from having witnessed the snark-fest.
-from 'Argue' by TenshiNanashi
"Oh my god, John. I thought it ate you." He lunged forward and caught John in a fierce hug -- a little squishier than was really manly, but that couldn't be helped under the circumstances. -beanie!McKay, from Arduinna's beanielantis fic 'Candygram'
“Ma’am,” Lorne says with touch of awe, “you’re impressively bendy.” -from 'Five' by peanutbutterer
The second thing Lorne figured out is that getting used to scientists isn't the same as understanding them. Which is why he's still not sure why Parrish goes batshit crazy when they stumble onto a meadow of alien weeds on a mission... -from 'The Better Part of Valour' by Mardia
His first mission involved ... accompanying Colonel Sheppard (who Lorne knew had failed the Big Risk test at some point) and Dr. McKay (who had possibly failed every test Lorne could think of). -from 'A Team is Bourne'
After serving long and hard enough, Lorne qualified to pick his own team and the best part was that no matter how insanely dangerous his teammates were, there was no other Ancient city they could all get promoted to. Lorne exploded a grenade on the mainland to celebrate this fact. -from 'A Team is Bourne'
“It's why I like you, Lorne. You're a smart guy,” Sheppard said as he left the infirmary.
Lorne snorted. “That's just another way of saying I'm not pretty.” -from 'A Team is Bourne'
Lorne wondered what that would be like. Weir on his team. He wouldn't mind that. Not at all. Weir could be on his team anytime. In fact, she could be on his anything anytime.
That...came out wrong, and Lorne was choking on his food substitute. -from 'A Team is Bourne'
"There is a mural here that speaks of the blizzards containing magical powers that create demons of men. Lantesh believes the snow possesses properties that create a mind altering effect on some people. The mural also depicts stoning those who succumbed to the madness. They called it the Shiny."
"Dave's got the Shiny?"
"I believe he does."
"You know, that would be funny if we had our pants on."
-Martouf & Rodney McKay, from the SG-15 fic 'The Shiny' by danvers
"Right. I figure the prettiest one of us goes up there and gives it a shot."
Martouf nodded. "Who do you suggest?"
"Not you, you're too pretty," Dave said
-Col. Dave Dixon & Martouf, from the SG-15 fic 'A Sticky Situation' by danvers
John ... smiled at Martouf, who tried to smile back but didn’t really manage it. “So, how many other realities did you die in, anyway?”
Martouf looked away. “All of them.”
-from the SG-15 fic 'The Only Reality of Consequence' by maching_monkey
Rodney... "So how many Jaffa does it take to screw in a light bulb?"
"If one is smart, one does not screw with a Jaffa," Teal'c answered solemnly, with great meaning.
-from the SG-15 fic 'SG15: To the Rescue!' by delphia
Rodney smiled smugly. “Martouf didn’t know how to break it to you, that’s all. You’re so deep in denial you need a snorkel.”
-from the SG-15 fic 'Expecting Chucky' by maching_monkey
“Helping means being nice, giving me some cold syrup and letting me to back to my quarters,” John said hoarsely, his voice sounding strained and gravelly. “It is not trying to keep in an uncomfortable hospital bed and trying to use me as another study subject. Despite what they think, needles are not the answer to everything.” -from 'Betrayal of the Culinary Kind' by Wayside
However he had to say he hadn’t received any real training on how to deal with gun wheedling homeless men desperate to score some crack cocaine. He really would have to ask John next time he saw him. -from 'The Hostage Situation' by Melbell
He was still figuring out how to deal with Sheppard as his commanding officer. First off, Sheppard wasn't very commanding. Coming after Edwards, who had still given Lorne cock-eyed looks after three years if he dropped a 'sir', Sheppard was informal to the point of distraction. It weirded Lorne out -- Sheppard had given him a what the hell did you do that for? look when he'd saluted -- and it was going to drive the marines batshit. And then there was Sheppard's tendency to play dumb, which was just so counterproductive on so many levels that Lorne didn't even have a credible working theory as to why he did it. -from 'Masquerade' by Domenika Marzione
“I think I’ll be a pretty reasonable father – though we’ll have to agree that if we have a girl she’s not allowed to date any spawns of the McKay variety. That’d just be wrong on fundamental levels.” -John Sheppard, from 'Five' by peanutbutterer
Ronon: "She's almost Teyla hot."
John: "Teyla hot? Wow."
Rodney frowned. "You really think someone in terms of how they compare to Teyla?"
Ronon paused. "Have you seen Teyla's body?" -from 'Something He Shouldn't Have Seen' by moms2398
Elizabeth had never heard Rodney so quiet. Even when he was napping he seemed louder. -from 'Aching Heart' by Reichiru
"But why here? Why this place?"
Rodney scoffed. "It helps me hone my negativity. Could you think of a better place to feel like crap?" -Elizabeth & Rodney at grounding station 3, from 'Aching Heart' by Reichiru
And I'm smarter than all of you put together, which means my threshold for idiots is way lower than yours!" -Rodney, from 'Dave Quixote: The Man of Realto' by danvers
“Yes, yes. Major Sheppard is right. I think pants should be issued with grenades.” - from 'Dave Quixote: The Man of Realto' by danvers
“Sometimes I feel like the mean mom,” she rubbed her temples as she sat on the edge of her bed.
“And Sheppard’s the fun dad,” Marc said sitting down next to her.
Elizabeth grimaced. “And what does that make you?"
He grinned letting his dimples show. “Mom’s good looking younger lover.” -Elizabeth & Lorne, from 'Moments in Time' by SG-LAB
“Ugh,” Rodney scoffs, “that is just – I don’t even know where to start with that. First of all, the color of a woman’s hair has nothing to do with her intelligence. Look at Samantha Carter, for example. She’s the second most brilliant person I know. And to imply that one would have to lack intellect to find me attractive? Both ludicrous and obviously prompted by a deeply seated feeling of inadequacy toward me and other people who are genetically your superior.” -from 'From Here' ch2 by peanutbutterer
"Wouldn't want that to happen," John says, unwinding the scarf from around his neck. McKay grabs it out of his hands, greedily wrapping it around his own neck and then pausing when he comes to the hat on the other end. "What the --"
"It's a scarf/hat," John says.
McKay digests this, then declares it brilliant. "It's a very smart idea," he says, jamming the hat on his head. "You'd never lose your hat this way." He goes back to work, smug with victory and the possibility of discovering something new.
John snaps a picture. -from 'The nth Doctor' by Punk
it was Elizabeth looking somewhat sheepish (as opposed to duckish) and as they turned to look at her she hiccupped again and a duck popped into existence beside her -by Ed4th from the McWeir Central forum fic
Carson of course had taken the opportunity to return to the infirmary and prepare what he hoped was going to be an antidote to the hallucinogen that currently had everyone tripping...and some slipping in imaginary duck crap. -by Ed4th from the McWeir Central forum fic
'This wasn't quite what I had imagined, Lizbeth -' he started, and she paused, looked at him with wide eyes and asked, 'Are you seriously going to tell me to stop?' She slipped a finger inside the band of his boxers, and added, 'Screw the foreplay, Rodney, I've been walking around with enough mental imagery in my head for the last half hour to more than sufficiently have done the job.'
'God, yes,' he managed, reached out his own hand towards her, and then shouted, 'Christ! The survellience!'
It was like a bucket of cold water. She turned the colour of beetroot - there was public affection, and then there was beyond-kinky
-from 'Love and Peaches' by ArtemisAeryn
“Hey, somebody had to speak up. His head blows up like a balloon if someone doesn‘t take a stand against him every once in a while.” -John about Rodney, from 'A Mathematical Impossibility' by BiteMeTechie
Ed4th: Vala had managed to slip away unseen and was investigating potential stashing places for 'liberated' items
Keenir: ...only to find herself being snogged to within a centimeter of her life by Chuck, who'd put a clone of his on duty at his duty station. -from 'The Forum Fic' thread on McWeir.com
There were also two giant bags of M&Ms (she didn’t know M&Ms came in 4 gallon bags). Given the size of the crate, Elizabeth tried to figure out how much chocolate fit into 64 cubic feet, but she gave up and settled on “a lot.” -from 'Outcomes and Consequences' ch31 by flowk
Tapping his ear piece, he said, “Lorne, I’ve got the five small boxes to move and look at, so let’s make the game party at 5. OK?”
“Sure, Colonel. I’ll tell the others and make sure they don’t eat all the bean dip before you get there.”
“There were three gallons of bean dip. I don’t think they’ll make it through all that.”
“You willing to make a little wager on that, Colonel?
“No, you’re right. Keep ‘em in line. Sheppard out.”
-Sheppard & Lorne, from 'Outcomes and Consequences' ch31 by flowk
"I don't care how smart he says he is, the man is a twelve year old girl in disguise" -John about Rodney, from 'What Rodney and John Overheard One Day' by hey_meredith
"Well, I can see that! I meant how did he die?"
"Looks like he was glomped to death,"...
"Oh God," -from 'When Plot Bunnies Attack' by BiteMeTechie
"Jeffries tubes. Why does it always have to be Jeffries tubes?" -from 'When Plot Bunnies Attack' by BiteMeTechie
Certainly didn't sound like a 'Lenny' to him. The one called 'Charlie' didn't sound much like a 'Charlie' either, for that matter. Maybe they were transvestites? -from 'When Plot Bunnies Attack' by BiteMeTechie
“Some of us prefer to earn the unending affection of others,” Jax replied. “Zip, move. You’re on my Glock.” Mirabelle gasped. “You have Canon Goo?” she demanded. “Can I touch it?”
“No,” said Jax forcefully. -both from 'The Resurrection of Carson Beckett' by Myriadragon
“The Hippocratic Oath my-“ ‘Gluteus maximums. There will be no swearing in my body.’ Carson said sternly. -from 'The Muse's Revenge' by Whirlwind-2005
"Daddy's not happy when he's hungry," said Olivia sleepily.
"No he's not," said Elizabeth. -from the McKay/Weir fic 'Never Did Run Smooth' by weirdgirl42
Acme...now there's a name that inspires consumer confidence world wide. -from 'When Plot Bunnies Attack' by BiteMeTech
"What was I- what was I doing? What's she doing with a Light Saber?" He pointed to the doorway of his bathroom, "The science behind a Light Saber isn't even possible!"
Dawn chose this moment to speak, "But it is cool."-from 'When Plot Bunnies Attack' by BiteMeTech
Lennon sneered, glared at the offending bit of cloth and snorted before snatching it roughly from the proffered hand.
She slid her arms through the sleeves and grumbled. Aside from the fact it was too big for her, it looked like a PTA meeting threw up on her. -from 'When Plot Bunnies Attack' by BiteMeTech
Why it is more fun to be ... Atlantis...
…You can swim, dive, fly and go invisible, not to mention all your weaponry; All things considered you’re more like a Swiss knife than a metropolis
…Only handsome men seem to have the ATA gene
-from '10 Reason' by Gundambaby
Shrugging innocently, John tried to play off his heroics. "It's hard to tell with you," he replied calmly as they started down out of the castle. "You don't follow the ordinary rules of a damsel in distress."
"My distresses are too common?" Elizabeth wondered as she slipped her hand into his.
"They're too quiet," John interpreted for her...
-from 'Unexpected' ch24 by Oparu
Rodney tried to keep what Sam Carter had nicknamed the 'you’ve ripped my heart out’ look off his face. Of course with her most of the time it was faked... -from the libraryAU fic 'Everybody loves Elizabeth' ch1 by MillionMoments
just after Rodney tells Elizabeth that Radek is gay
Oh he had so dug himself into a hole here, “Yes, of course I’m not interested in men, it’s really quiet hard for him to deal with – poor guy.”
“But you told me you two fight all the time!”
“Well, yes, I think he picks fights with me over little things to try to cope with his real emotions. Sometimes grown ups can be just like teenagers...”
Elizabeth’s face became a mask of sympathy, “Oh yes it makes sense. Poor guy. It must be hard for him to even just be friends with you.” -from the libraryAU fic 'Everybody loves Elizabeth' ch2 by MillionMoments
"Oh, I'm looking forward to my author's new series now," the fourth murmured, his eyes lighting.
The second snorted. "Yours is primarily a genfic writer, remember? You'll be lucky if you get a snog and a fade to black." -from 'Four Men in a Bar' by crystalfic
'Well," Rodney started, and he tensed a little more, now acutely aware of all the attention being placed upon him, standing in the middle of the gate room, loudly declaring his dedication to the most famous fictional character of Earth, "that's about it," he finished lamely -from 'The Long Awaited Novel' by Aelan Greenleaf
You'd think that by now I'd be used to being ugly, but, goddammit, I'm still sensitive. -from 'By Any Other Name' by Didodikali
"Hmmph," said Lupin. "Apparently some of us are scholars, some of us play Quidditch, and some of us just look good in tight trousers." -from 'By Any Other Name' by Didodikali
I think Draco leaps out of bed every morning and yells, "Ta-daaaaa!" I certainly don't remember Lucky... -Lucius being this loud as a student. -from 'By Any Other Name' by Didodikali
it seems my stores have been raided of mistletoe -no doubt for twee usages- -from 'Teacher's Pet' by Didodikali
"She seemed quite taken with you," I said and bit my lip over an unladylike guffaw. Severus registered faint surprise and then rolled his eyes. "Tell her to queue up behind all the Slytherin girls. And Voldemort."
"Voldemort!?"
"Rather. Last time I was at a meeting he was all over me."-McGonagall and Snape, from 'Teacher's Pet' by Didokdikali
“Sure,” Sheppard said slowly. “But usually you’re not so… um… bitchy.”
Rodney raised both eyebrows.
“Bitchy? Did you seriously just call me bitchy?”
“Fine. How about… confrontational?” Sheppard shrugged. “Better?”
“Much.” Rodney grumbled. -from 'Elegant Simplicity' ch1 by Captain Peregrine
"… but then again, that was before the whole killer dream-Sheppard incident.”
“Oh, thanks, Rodney.” John grimaced. “I really like remembering that.”
“It taught you to stop touching random things, though, didn’t it?” McKay pointed out. Sheppard refrained from telling that no, it didn’t stop him from touching stuff. It just made him a lot more careful about the stuff he decided to touch. -from 'Elegant Simplicity' ch1 by Captain Peregrine
I want to know that you’re happy, right now, here. It’s important. If you’re not, tell me, we can leave. We can go to some place where people’s heads are made of clock gears and they’ve got tentacles that squeeze out ginger beer and nobody ever has sex or talks about their feelings, ever. Your paradise. Just say the word. -Rose, from riot_libertine's 'Hearts Behind' Doctor Who fic
“Danger and running aren’t usually two words in the Gallifreyan dictionary-“
“It’s the entire reference index in yours,” -the 5th Doctor and Tegan, from warinbabylon's Doctor Who fic 'Paradise Lost'
"I thought you said you knitted it yourself? You said you started it during your exile on Earth and didn't know how to stop knitting until Sarah Jane taught you cast off." -Romana, from some 4th Doctor/Romana smutfic
