Title: The rusty wire gives way
Author: michelel72
Genre/Rating: Gen; FRT for themes (apocalypse/dark)
Wordcount: 2700
Timeline/Spoilers: Post-series, set soon after the final episode
Warnings: None
Disclaimer/Policies: This is a work of fanfiction inspired by the television series "Stargate: Atlantis" and "Stargate: SG-1". All feedback of any length, including constructive criticism, always welcome. Transformative/derivative/related works always welcome if credit is given. If my warnings for triggers/squick are inadequate, please let me know.
Crossposting: Original copy at AO3; mirror at Livejournal; mirror at DW
Notes/Credits: The "Angst" category at the SGA Genficathon category collapsed (five signups, no fics), and I had written one pinch-hit; the next week, I decided to try for a second one and this was the result. The theme was inspired by several recent influences, foremost among them chapter 9 of Rachel Maddow's "Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power". The title is adapted from Pink Floyd's "Two Suns in the Sunset".

Summary: How do you move on when your own history proves you don't need to?

My apologies to my Livejournal friends. I've tried to cross-post everything to all three sites I use, but this story would require four posts to fit on LJ with the chapter-break at the right place. I'm instead posting just at AO3 and DW, but this post will remain available for commenting for those who prefer LJ.

Title: A Few Small Repairs
Author: michelel72
Genre/Rating: Rodney/Teyla preship, plus team gen; FRK
Wordcount: 4800
Timeline/Spoilers: Full AU. Epilogue to Damper
Warnings: None.
Notes: 1) Many, many thanks to siriaeve for organizing Sticks & Snark! This actually wasn't written specifically for her prompt "What makes Teyla cranky, and how does Rodney negotiate that?" — but it wound up close in spirit, and I hope it satisfies. 2) Title from Shawn Colvin.
Policies: All feedback of any length, including constructive criticism, always welcome. If my warnings for triggers/squick are inadequate, please let me know.
Credits: Beta by the lightning-quick scarlet_gryphon. Remaining mistakes are of course my own.

Title: Damper || Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
Recipient: astridv, for Sticks & Snark
Author: michelel72
Genre/Rating: Preshippy gen; FRK (mild language, action)
Wordcount: 26k
Timeline/Spoilers: Full AU. Includes allusions to content through season two, as well as a season five character.
Warnings: None.
Prompt: "AU where they are investigators of some kind and Teyla gets to show her smarts"
Note 1: I aimed for 'ship and landed on preshippy (very pre) gen; I hope that satisfies. astridv specifically did not want "bashing of any character"; I did use canonical character dislike of someone in POV, and if that comes too close to character bashing, I do most sincerely apologize.
Note 2: I used the Western system as the inspiration for this AU, though I've deviated from it; no disrespect or dismissal is intended towards the primary Eastern version (or any other), but I couldn't reconcile both within one world. (The sign descriptions for RL, DH, and KH here just happened to fit eerily well for my purposes, incidentally.)
Policies: All feedback of any length, including constructive criticism, always welcome. If my warnings for triggers/squick are inadequate, please let me know.
Credits: Non-fandom beta by dread_pirate, who knows SGA only from what I've told her and is surely very confused by now; in-fandom beta by greyias and frith_in_thorns; locale review/advice by valleya and the fine folks at drop_the_u. My devoted thanks to all. Remaining mistakes are of course my own.

Title: Allergy (sg_prompts Prompt Amnesty: In Sickness)
Author: michelel72
Genre/Rating: Gen (background McKay/Keller); Teen for language

Timeline/Spoilers: Post-series, back in Pegasus.
Warnings: None (except "don't write stories involving hives if you don't want to itch all day")
Disclaimer: Plot mine; Stargate characters and environments not mine. (Transformative work.)
Notes: Okay, so in a locked post, I saw a comment in which kyuuketsukirui asked, "does every damn thing about Rodney have to be woobified?" (QWP) Sadly enough, that sparked this in my head. Just a bit of slightly cracky silliness, not to be taken seriously. Research consultant: Dr. Google. No beta.
