I'm probably going to regret this, but...

I need ideas. I want to write a Shep-whumpy one-shot, but everything I come up with wants to turn into something long and involved. Chapter fics are eating my brain! All I want is a nice, neat little one-shot with some lovely whump. I would appreciate the help. Although I make no promise that the ideas suggested will be used (or used precisely as suggested, in that I may alter the ideas.) It's all about kicking the muses into action and away from chapter fics.

And, please, no trying to talk me into doing episode tags for particular episodes. I need something more specific.

How's this? Caldwell and Sheppard are seperated from everyone else....could be anything. On board a ship, on a planet, on Atlantis, whatever, but there's a constant threat that both men must face.

I don't want a$$hole Caldwell, he's by the book but he's not evil. I want his thoughts and feeling about Sheppard, showing how he's changed them over the years(which you can tell my his behavior over the seasons), but gets a peak at why John's men are so loyalty towards him.

Would like h/c, but doesn't have to be the main focus of course.

...this could be as simple or as complex as you choose...

Returning on the Daedelous Caldwell gets to actually see Shep in action during the whole ship wide computer virus thing...and in all probability the new marines didn't *see* any of what Shep did...so Caldwell sees that Shep can think and problem solve...but that's not the same as seeing "The Atlantis Base Commander" in action...

...so what about a situation where Caldwell and the new Marines are suddenly thrown into a situation where they see "The Commander of the Atlantis Base", the Atlantis Marines, Scientists and Civilians all respond to a threat that the new people don't recognize, may be some thing in a lab or a culling evacuation, some thing that they don't have the protocols for.

So now you have this confluence of Atlantis Marines and New Marines and Caldwell and Atlantis Scientists and Pegasus Natives and Weir and Shep as Base Commander.

Sorry about the redundant description, I just have this picture in my mind of the clueless confusion of the newbies and the ruthless efficiency of the original Atlantis folk and the Marines because new!marines + atlantis!marines + semper fi = confused instincts because the marines expect to connect? And someone wrong-footing it is a perfect place for Shep h/c

Hmmmm, I like this. I may have to use it for a chapter fic in the future if I can't figure it into a one-shot.

See you ask and you shall receive, looks like you have a ton of ideas. My Caldwell one is meant to be John and the Steven to be 'trapped' alone type thing, away from everyone else.

That was me..lol

Ah, perfect outsider POV opportunity with this. I love being able to write outsider POV.

[clarkangel.livejournal.com]

Because I love Shep/gene/Atlantis stuff. How about something where Shep touches something or is using the chair and something happens where he starts forgetting things/himself at crucials moments and at some point he ends up in a fight against Ronon with Shep fighting to the death, obviously not realizing it's Ronon or who Ronon is to him, and Ronon having to stop him without trying to hurt him and, of course, hurting him. Broken bones? Concussion. Bonus if Shep is restrained in a hospital bed at some point. Since it'll never happen on the show. And much worry and concern from his teammates.

[obsessed1o1.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm Stealth.......what about Sheppard is caught in an explosion and deafened by it, (Although maybe he doesn't mention it for a while) and they are off-world and either Teyla/Ronon/McKay have to get him back to the gate...while being chase by some kind of threat????

And clarkangel/Merlin...i'm right in the middle of writing a Sheppard/gene/chair fic :D

YES YES YES YES YES! ::merlin jumps up and down with squee::
Done yet???? ;D

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

I like.

Bonus if Shep is restrained in a hospital bed

[black-raven135.livejournal.com]

Yes, he could do with a bit restraining today
>:-)

*A high-pitched squee shatters windows* I love it. Although I did do something similar in Two-Way Street, but I'm not above using an idea twice in a different way.

The other day I was re-watching "Lifeline" and caught this little bit of dialogue at the end. For some reason, I missed it completely the first time around, but there's definitely some opportunity for whump here:

(Atlantis is looking for a planet to land the city on that Weir doesn't know about. This is the one they find and end up calling home.)

McKay: “It’s got a stable atmosphere, large ocean. Besides the large, particularly venomous snakelike creature that inhabits the mainland, it looks to be a welcoming environment.”

Large, venomous snakelike creature...?

*Taps fingertips together* Excellent.

Funny I notice that right away when the episode aired and was amazed noone ever did a tag of it.
I would love reading about it

[gypsytpotter.livejournal.com]

I've been dying to read a semi-longish one-shot post Midway. There have been several short tags, but none that have been very satsifying and there is so much potential! A week plus stuck in a jumper with scientists right after a traumatic event?! Shep whump and angst galore!

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

That one may have to wait. I'm a season behind, and my dial-up won't let me downlaod episodes, so I haven't seen it yet.

John is injured or ill and it affects Atlantis in some way that causes Rodney to tear his hair at in frustration until Zelenka finally makes the connection (ie. John has a high fever and it causes him to mentally tell Atlantis to go on lockdown or put up a personal shield around him, and Rodney is befuddled trying to figure out the cause, since what is causing John's fever isn't contagious and there aren't any other apparent contagions floating around that might have triggered, and he can't get it to turn off because every time he gets it turn off, John turns it back on again in his delirium.) I leave it up to you to decide if they figure out how to counter it or if they just have to wait for John to be coherent enough to stop turning it back on.

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

Ooh, excellent. I've been wanting to do something involving a sick Sheppard.

Hey Girl,

I left this at SGA requests: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!


"I came around this fic idea where the summary was "Teyla would save them all..." and it brought this fic bunny to my head.


"What if there is this massive request to save Teyla, huge gun battle, and it comes down to John saving himself from Michael or Teyla? To clarify, John sacrifices himself to buy Teyla time to escape (since Michael has already injected her fetus with some drug).... or Michael grabs John, which allows Teyla the opportunity to escape."

I think it sounds like it would be a long one.... but, you never know...

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

I've been pondering this one, but haven't figured out how I'd want to go about writing it (make it short, make it long, specifics, etc.)

[ninja007.livejournal.com]

However you wanna do it, is okay with me. If someday I start back writing fics (I wrote primarily in the Farscape genre) and decide to do this one, I gar-on-tee it will be long, angsty, and lots of whump. That's the way I always have written them in the past. But, for now, I'm not writing.

Give it some thought. Handle it the way you wanna. I just know I'll love it. :D

Here's one for you: John, having been injured (jumper crash? tortured & escaped?), is wandering around on a sparsely/unpopulated world. His memory seems to come and go, but mostly he can't remember who he is or how he got there. The team finally finds him, but when he sees them he doesn't know who they are and hides from them. They have to track him down and get him back to Atlantis without causing him further injury.
