Quote of the day:
"With all the joy of a condemned prisoner facing execution,
Rodney climbed the stairs behind John,
his gaze bonded to John’s ass by the Crazy Glue of puberty."

I've never even watched a fill episode of NCIS, but every once in a while I'll start reading some of the stories--it all started from reading crossovers with either Stargate or Buffy. 

Here are the ones that I'm enjoying this weekend:

A Fine and Private Thing by tejas:  http://archiveofourown.org/works/8311 (Gibbs/Tony, Tony has a *hobby*)

The Widening Gire by donutsweeper: http://archiveofourown.org/works/13856  (sad, but good)

Conference Call by moonbeam (moonbeamsfanfic): http://archiveofourown.org/works/28182 (Gen, crossover w/ Stargate feat. Gen. O'neill)

Lipstick by Fabrisse: http://archiveofourown.org/works/32903  (het, Abby/Ducky, friends w/ benefits)

From the Lights to the Pavement by lordessrenegade: http://archiveofourown.org/works/32941 (crossover w/ Real People, My Chemical Romance: Gerard Way/Frank Iero/Abby Sciuto)

Building the Future by Lady Ra: http://www.ncisfiction.com/story.php?stid=04463 (NCIS/Smallville/Batman crossover, Clark/Lex & Tony/Gibbs, Tony is Martha's cousin) 


I doubt I'd be quite in love with this fandom if not for rageprufrock's (http://archiveofourown.org/users/rageprufrock/pseuds/rageprufrock) Highly Classified and Very Hush Hush (http://archiveofourown.org/works/44934) and sequel Strictly on a Need to Know Basis (http://archiveofourown.org/works/44935).

yeah, I admit it.  I don't like Jennifer Keller.  I hate McKeller.  The only time I enjoy a fic is when Jennifer is not, has never and will never get with Rodney McKay.  She can pine for him, but never even get a bit of a response back.  There was a fic that I didnt' totally hate where she was Rodney's beard, but even that was too close for me. 

(Can you imagine it, she's Rodney's beard, until she "mysteriously" gets pregnant with his kid and they get married, leaving poor heart broken John trying to pretend he's ok and totally happy for them:

John: Rodney!  What the fuck?!?  You slept with her!!!
Rodney: Yes, but it was just to keep things looking authentic!
John: that's not keeping things authentic, it's cheating, you bastard!)

So I read one of the McShep Match entries today, where Jennifer and Rodney invite John for a threesome and Jennifer mentions that he was talked about so much in their bed that she figured he should join them.  And I wondered if instead, Jennifer and Rodney are pressuring John into a threesome, and he doesn't want to.  (Something like the prequel to Honor Guard where John reflects that Rodney would never offer him a parody of what he really wants like another buddy did, where eventually John was asked to be best man while half naked either before or after sex with a couple who he was in a threesome with.  And they never thought of John, obviously, because he was really into this guy, and this guy got the best of both worlds, he could get his cock-fix, but he was also marrying his girlfriend.  But they never thought how it worked for John!
So what if Rodney and Jennifer started to pursue John to sleep with them?  And John was totally uncomfortable with it, but tried to be friends still.  But even that was souring, because they were constantly trying to pursuade him.  And so John decides to quit, or maybe just take a vacaiton.  And then Teyla and Ronon find out what's going on...maybe Woosley too, because he could be really cool as he verbally slapped down Rodney and Jennifer. 
And maybe Jennifer didn't know it would make problems, but maybe she did. And she figured either she'd get good sex out of John before really making him miserable and showing him where his place is, or maybe she just figured she could get him to leave so that Rodney would focus on her better.
And Rodney maybe didn't even notice that John wanted him until Jennifer pointed it out, but he figures Jennifer has the right idea, and so he pursues it blindly, not realizing what a mistake he's making.  He just thinks that this way he and John could both get what they want.

Ok, so I know a ton of people who are sick of the Keller-bashing, but try as I might, I just can't like her.  I hate when she's paired with Rodney McKay, and I really hate how the writers of Stargate: Atlantis made the character into a two-dimentional Mary Sue.  Sadly, Jennifer Keller comes off as Doogie Howser, Sci-Fi Barbie Edition.

Even though I've read a few good McKeller stories, and I loved Keira Marcos' What Might Have Been series, I much prefer Tarlan''s Forever LostI wish there were more Death-of-Keller stories.

So I've been brainstorming the different scenarios for her death--there are so many choices!

For instance, maybe the Sekkari' s AI device somehow assists Sheppard in killing Keller.  I read a story where the woman that is shown to Woosley is the spitting image of John's mother.  Maybe the AI left a part of itself behind...for no other reason but it 'felt bad' about torturing John, even if it was his mind torturing itself?  (yeah, not far fetched at all!)  I kinda like this one, if you overlook the silliness of the AI wishing to do something other than recreate its' civilization.    But, if that AI were able to interact with the mostly dormant Alteran AI on Atlantis, maybe it could happen?

  So assuming that the Sekkari AI downloaded itself into Atlantis' mainframe with the help of Atlantis' AI, it could then learn in what way it could best "pay John back" and help ease his mental torture.  The two AIs would conspire to make John happy by giving him back his best friend, who is spending time with Dr. Keller, who refuses to even share him with his team.  So, hiding their activities from the sensors, they make Jennifer look insane, while still protecting the inhabitants of the city.  They even get her thinking that she's had conversations with Rodney's teammates, especially John Sheppard.  At first people almost believe her, because she's Jennifer and she's doesn't have a vindictive bone in her body (whereas John Sheppard can be a cold stone killer).  Which makes people feel really bad when they find that she's, at the very least, crazy.  Eventually, she could either kill herself, have an accident, or possibly she tries to kill John Sheppard, and Ronon or Rodney have to stop her, and she ends up dead instead.  Especially if it's Rodney, he could have the realization then that he'd do anything for John Sheppard. 

Or maybe John gets desperate.  Jennifer Keller isn't only stealing his best friend, she's decided to change everything about him.  So he dusts off his Black Ops training and kills her in cold blood.  If Atlantis is helping him cover it up, he could even take his time, and explain to her WHY she's dying.

In Brain Storm:  FREEZE LIGHTNING!  She gets hit & (oh so sadly) dies.  Or she freezes to death and Rodney is unable to save her.  (Later, John will comfort Rodney by looking into the situation for him and finding that it looks like she'd been dead for 30 minutes by the time he got to her, so it wasn't his fault, because he had to fix Malcom Tuney's mistake before he could go rescue her--and the reason she ended up stuck was somehow her fault, as in if she had made a better choice, or kept from being somewhere Rodney warned her against, she would have bene fine.)

Infection: Oops!  Killed by her own retro-virus; a rabid former drone eats her face off.  :)  Todd could even help her die, as a favor for Sheppard. 

Identity:  Dies in Neva's body---again John & the team can comfort Rodney with the fact that she shouldn't have been touching things--Ronon could even say that John's not that stupid. 

Enemy at the Gate:  is there some way for her to fall over the railing and die?  That would be awesome.

Or maybe instead it's after the ending, probably back in Pegasus, where Rodney will be forced to choose between his fiancee and the man who is his best friend--he can save only one.  And even though he's been blowing Sheppard off left and right, he chooses John.  John wasn't expecting to be chosen, infact he had a sad smile as he wished Rodney well in life and said "good bye" with dignity.  Whereas Jennifer was expecting to be chosen, and was even a bit smug, gloating as John first looked resigned and then said his goodbye.  Rodney, who would be very conflicted, utterly saddened that he's been put in this situation, would see her and realize she's not worth killing his friend for.  John, shocked to be alive, thanks his friend, and expresses his sincere condolances.  Rodney might even find out later that Jennifer was terrorizing John over Rodney's choosing her (and Rodney had no clue there was an option between the two, even though she occasionally made it sound that way--she even blamed Rodney's being uncomfortable with John's attraction to him as being the reason he's been so absent from team bonding rituals). 

Or Jennifer Keller could be arrogant, and accidentally poison herself as she's experimenting with something.

Or, she could insist that she and Rodney move back to Earth, and then she gets hit by a truck!

Or maybe she's in the gateroom, and she's just blonde enough to be standing too close to the wormhole?

I'm sure there are dozens of other ways for her to die, maybe I'll add more later.  :)

He was standing over the console Rodney was working under, looking well-rested and fresh, one hand stretched out to help Rodney to his feet. He was like some kind of monument to patronising macho assholes everywhere.
