A Beautiful Lifetime Event, SGA (McKay/Sheppard)

{{{hugs the flist for the birthday wishes}}}

And speaking of which, I mostly finished this up a couple days ago, but then I thought I'd save it for today and do a little hobbit-style birthday celebrating, and at the same time I finally updated my fanfic site with the rest of the SGA stories I've done in the last couple of months that I hadn't put up yet -- all, uh, *mutters fast* ten of them.

Many many thanks to Cesca, Julad, Mia, resonant for fabulous beta work, and to Ces for my very own miniature particle accelerator (heee) -- and special mention to Merry for the boyband line. (And Julad, I changed the ending, you were right as usual. *g*)

Spoilers for all of season 1; everything else is speculation. Set post-Siege 2 and beyond.

Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

Teaser:
"Well, how was I supposed to know?" Rodney yelled, wide-eyed and panicky. "You're the one who activated it!"

"You're the one who told me to touch it!" John yelled back.

"Oh, like you didn't want to!" Rodney said.

"I didn't know what the hell it was going to do!"

Happy birthday! Now I get to read the new story - I *like* this idea of people giving presents on their birthdays.
i thought the same thing :-) what a great tradition!!!

Happy Birthday, Shalott!!!


And thanks for the new story. Here I was upset that I had nothing to read for the weekend; what a pleasant surprise... *printing out*
Happy birthday!
I read the first paragraph.

Now I have to wait until my tea is done, otherwise I'll ruin the keyboard.

And happy birthday. How lovely of *you* to give the prezzies.

re: MPA

I'm sorry I couldn't find the right power source--I'm sure that baby'll really be kickin' when it gets enough power!
Okay, I read it, and got sniffly after the giggles. The stuffed Cthulhu was the best, though I would have liked to have seen it riding in the Barbiemobile.
Oh god it's 3am down here, you just had to post it when I'm going to bed didn't you? ah well, at least I know I have a treat waiting for when I wake up. *g*

And Happy Birthday!
Just popping in to say, Happy Birthday!!!

Hope it's a great one!
Happy birthday! I might have a little present for you, but it might be late, because Julad and Ces took it apart to find the power source and, uh, yes.
Aaaaand here it is!
Hurray! Happy Birthday! Will I regret it forever if I read your fic before having actually seen any of SGA? (Working on it...)

And I hope you either got, or lost interest in, that scarf! :-)
Oh my God, that was utterly brilliant and wonderful and I am squeeing so hard I can't even stand it. Tycho! I can't stop laughing at that.
Happy Birthday and thanks for the wonderful fic!!
That was just so awesome! I am incoherent!

Also, happy birthday!
Oh, how I loved this. I just totally adored every single word of it. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
that was just about the best atlantis fic i have ever read (and god, i have read so many). it was all so... natural in its progression. i aalmost cried because it was so sweet in parts.

almost.

okay, i teared up but thats all.

and the sex? because let's not forget that. hotness, but not the center of the story, which was perfect.
Dude, it's your birthday, but we get a story? That's nine kinds of awesome. The story will have to wait until I have time, but happy birthday! There are no words for how cool you are.
Finally got to the story. You are a giant freak in the world's best way, ever. I...just...yeah.
Happy Birthday! Hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
Happy Birthday! and, I love your story SO MUCH! Just, love.
First of all, Happy Birthday!

Secondly--this is not my usual cup of tea. But of course you've managed to write a wonderful, beautiful, elegant and believable story yet again. I was both laughing and crying most of the way through, and when I finished I just had to bawl for a little bit. (Apparently I am incapable of reading about happy things without getting all teary. Such a girl.) Anyway, thank you for the wonderful hobbit-gift.

Aw, damn, here I go again just thinking about it. *sob*
Oh, and wasn't Tycho the one who lost his nose in a duel?

*g*
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday, dear.... Ooooo, look, new story. *wanders off, never to be seen again*
Oh, Happy Birthday! You must be a hobbit for giving us this absolutely amazing thing when it's you who should be gifted with all you ever wished for :)

I have never seen Atlantis. But this... oh my god, this is gorgeous and real and I want to have its little mechanically conceived babies. Squee! *loves*
So I just started reading and I had to stop and go YAY John cause he got promoted!!! Your birthdays are the best!!
I really have no words for feedback, but I couldn't *not* comment when I am still breathless from enjoying the story. When you read a lot of fanfic, you start to feel like you've read every possible kind of story line or plot twist (and sometimes the very familiarity is what makes fandom fun), but then you read a story like this that is so original and beautiful and brilliant that year remember that fandom can be great for other reasons, too. Your long Stargate stories are among the few long stories that I've read where I've gotten to the end and immediately jumped back to the beginning to reread. Excuse me while I do that now.
oh, and Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday! And thank you for the wonderful present of this story. This kicked ass in so many ways. Love the entire progression of it. Over the years and John's realization that they're married and Rodney and I love Hyp. Hyp was so cool and smart and funny. Love the end with Tycho and the google page.

Also making the Stargate program public was a great idea and love how perfectly it fits in with John having to seriously think about not going on missions anymore.

Wow just wow. The sex was great too and I love the first kiss being in Target(hee i almost said Wal-mart cause here in TN Wal-mart is king) in front of the TVs.
Happy happy birthday! I have nothing to give you but a ton of good wishes and some love. I know snarky SGA porny stuff would be better, but I'm fresh out. Sorry about that. :D

Guh. The hot. I cannot. Bear it. I will be marinating in lust for the rest of the day, thanks to your stories.
