A Cold Winter's Night

Title: A Cold Winter's Night
Rating: PG, gen
Characters: Sheppard, McKay
Warnings: Spoilers for season four
Summary: Power failures and cold temperatures make for a long night in Atlantis.

I had wanted to get this posted before or during Christmas, but kept hitting a snag with the ending (in that I had no idea how I wanted it to end.) Took me long enough to get an ending written.

Fabulous story. No surprise there. I love Shep and McKay buddy fics, especially when they're so IN character. And the Shep whump was good, and the ending gave me the warm fuzzies. Perfect.

Thanks you. It's always nice to hear that I managed to keep them in character. Some days, I'm always left wondering. More with Rodney, these days, since I've gotten to used to Sheppard.

Thanks! I wanted something simple that felt Christmasy without over doing it (initially, I was going to have it that the heat and lights came on, then the gang would go out onto the balcony to see that it was snowing, but I felt it too cliche, predictable, and a little overdone.)

I must write more sleepy Shep with major bed head. He's just so darn cute like that.
