Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Evan Lorne, Radek Zelenka, Laura Cadman
Rating: Teen
Length: 7984
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: Brumeier on AO3
Themes: Mystery and suspense, Psychic powers, Friends to lovers, Complete AU: law enforcement

Summary: Rodney had thought the worst part of his day was coming home from the office and finding a dead man in his living room. He was wrong. But the investigation brought him and John together, and that's when things really got interesting.

Reccer's Notes: This is an engaging story in which Rodney's the head of his own tech company and John's a psychic with clairvoyance and precognitition who works with Lorne, a detective. They get called in when Rodney finds a dead stranger in his apartment, leading to an investigation. The story revolves around Rodney's reactions to John's abilities (mistrust gradually changing to fascination), all while being attracted to him. John is troubled, mostly seeing death and being able to locate killers, after being traumatised by his mother's death. Until he meets Rodney! :D It's romantic, with an interesting plot - an excellent read.

Just so you all know, we’ve added a couple of things to the comm guidelines, and one change to the Achievement Badges.

Guidelines

Added to the Submissions and Posting guidelines:

Characters in romantic/sexual ships should be 16 or older, regardless of the rating of the fanwork.

Fanworks of younger characters in relationships are allowed IF the characters are about equal in age and development AND the fanwork is rated General Audiences or Teen and Up. Mature or Explicit fanworks of underage characters are not permitted. For non-human characters or characters with unusual rates of ageing, please use your best judgement.

We've also added in our policy on AI/LLM content (which was previously announced here). Please check that policy if you are including AI/LLM-generated content in your entry. We will tag these works "filter: ai content".

Achievement Badges

Added to the Challenge Streaks:

Streak Aid
If you have a year-long (or more) streak, and you miss a deadline, you can claim a Streak Aid. With a Streak Aid, you can post a work for the missed prompt by the end of the next round, and we will consider your streak unbroken.

If you use a Streak Aid, you cannot claim another Streak Aid for at least 12 months.

If you have any questions, please let us know. :-)

ETA: Teaotter's personal context about the rules change, linked with permission.

teaotter posting in

fan_flashworks

Our new challenge is:

FIRST AID

As always, you can interpret the prompt literally or figuratively, in whatever way works for you.

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Monday, December 1st. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

You can view stats for

fan_flashworks entries and search and filter them via the Community Report and Creator Report. See our FAQ post for more details.

Also, keep an eye out for the next

ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the

ffw_social comm, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)

Content Notes: I drew these in pencil first and then watercolour pencil, and fountain pen over them.

So these are some very small works I've done to help raise fun for our local community Shed open day on Saturday (it's like a Men's Shed, but for everybody. We have carpentry, pottery, art group, welding, turning etc etc) They're going to be pasted on some greeting cards and put in a cellophane envelope. I've been given 6 envelopes, and as you see there are eight designs so two won't make the cut. They're going to go for $5AUD each, and we were told not to spend too much time on them, so they're a bit less detailed than my usual.

About this artist: Kaitlin is a professionally trained artist from the US. I first came across her work on Tumblr while I was deeply in Marvel fandom after the Captain America films. I love her style of painting portraits and the focus on portraying vulnerability and identity issues from a female gazey perspective.
The stuff from the 2010s was mostly ink, gouache and acrylics, but it seem she recently started embroidery art too (see example below).

I think partly my work with Bucky does stem from a kind of longstanding frustration with the MCU’s continued refusal to give me what I want. It’s kind of a vicious cycle, because I go into the movies hopeful but knowing that I’m probably not going to get a coherent emotional arc or an examination of Bucky’s psyche, and then of course neither of those things ever happen. So I end up thinking, well, I guess I better make that for myself!

I can relate to this quote so much, especially regarding all my feelings about Bucky several years ago.

Examples:

silk embroidered bird (G rating)

Bucky Inktober piece from 2015 (I‘d rate this one T because of "viscuous nightmare fluid"), it‘s best to look at the whole Inktober series in sequence because each art piece also features a bit of writing which shows Bucky‘s journey dealing with recovering his sense of self.

Young Man with stigmata from 2023 which clearly shows her Renaissance painting influences (look at that hand!). This is Interview with the Vampire fanart of Armand, I think.

Giles : Buffy. Excellent. Uh, come in.
Buffy : Hi.
Giles : Can I get you anything? Tea? I made a very interesting mousaka last night, if you're hungry.
Buffy : Pass on the tea. And the moose, thank you.
Giles : You come on business, I hope?
Buffy : Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.
