So a while back, I wrote and
wychwood illustrated a story called Four Quarters, in which John, Rodney, Teyla, and Ford (and later, Ronon) are in a band called The Puddlejumpers.
Obviously, a band AU needs a music mix to go along with it.
But there are also many more stories to be told in this universe, so a simple mix grew instead into a companion story, with the songs woven into the narrative (or perhaps more accurately, the narrative woven around the songs).
wychwood made beautiful liner notes and formatted the whole thing.
And here it is.

Pairing: McKay/Sheppard

Summary: And I felt like a star/I felt the world could go far/If they listened to what I said.
A/N: Special thanks to
newkidfan, who provided two of the songs and inspired the whole thing with her terrific
artword.

Please comment if you download. We'd love to hear your thoughts on any aspect of this project.
I should also note that this story is posted on my website. "You have a website?" one might reasonably enquire. Yes, I do—thanks to the wonderfully generous
isiscolo, who donated the space, and the talented and patient
siriaeve, who designed it. I, however, am both a procrastinator and a perfectionist, and I haven't yet publicized it because I haven't been able to get it fully updated (or write a non-lame introduction). But don't let that deter you: check it out here, compliment Isis and Siria on their kindness and hard work, and then bug me to get off my ass and finish it already.
And when you're done: rock out.
ETA: I just want to make clear that tons of people have made amazing art for various stories of mine, and I love it all. However, only a small portion of that art (like only a small portion of my stories) is up on the site right now. If something isn't there yet, it doesn't mean that I don't like it--quite the opposite! It just means that I haven't uploaded it yet. I'm sorry; I suck.
