Fic: Sports and Other Metaphors

Okay, so I have two fics for you today, where almost there were none. (Drama!) At the beginning of January, I got my picfor1000 assignment and almost had a heart attack ( when I saw this )

After I'd finished sobbing hysterically at siriaeve and randomeliza (and of course cursing slodwick's name *g*) I decided to try to actually write a story. This didn't go so well, for numerous reasons too boring to mention, but skip forward about six weeks and here I am with not one story, but two! The second's about twice as long as it's supposed to be, though, so we'll just consider it a bonus. The second game in today's fanfic double header. =)

Here's the first story; I'm putting the second in a separate post. Doesn't matter what order you read 'em in. I hope you enjoy.

Title: Sports and Other Metaphors
Rating: R
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Spoilers: Set after 'Tao of Rodney'
Length: 1,000 words
Summary: Life throws John curveballs; will he step up to the plate?
A/N: Huge thanks to honey_babes, siriaeve, shusu, and wychwood for looking this over. And thanks to slodwick for running this challenge, which is a brilliant idea, even when it made me want to hit myself in the head with a bat. ;-)
