I think I may have to give up my geek hat for nothing but sci-fi and action, because, holy nostalgia for John Hughes batman! I loved it so much, I watched it twice!
I bow before the awesomeness that is Sue Sylvester as the cheerleading coach. ("You think this is hard? Try being waterboarded! That's hard!")
I won't embed the video, because that's beyond my ability, but here's the link to hulu. What can I say, it made me happy, so I'm spreading the happy!

- Music:Don't Stop Believing (okay, not really. I'm listening to the Killers. Shhh)
The art's not a spoiler, exactly, more like a teaser (as she says). I have to decide now, when I put in on my website, do I put it up top? Or do I insert it at the point in the story....
Either way, Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Astrid, thank you so, so much!

Warnings: None that I know of, other than spoilers – this is definitely a season five+ fic, so everything that is canon is fair game.

Anyway, I was gone for a longish time, which is why I haven't responded to the awesome folks who left me replies to Seekers below. I basically took off as soon as I posted the last chapter, so I wanted to say sorry and I'm going to reply now.
( A handful of photos )
Anyway, trying to catch up on a backlog of emails, facebook and livejournal posts! So much to read! LOL!
Oh, and the "seahorse" in the icon? That was a piece of deadwood in Bryce. I had to take its picture.

Also, thank you everyone still with me. I know it’s not a standard fanfic layout, to use this sort of POV (i.e. the "bad guy"), and I appreciate you sticking through it with me.

This story was created for entertainment purposes only. No copyright infringement is intended. The original characters, situations, and story are the property of the author(s). Thank you to the amazing writers, producers, actors, crew and directors who brought it to life. (Past tense! So sad!)
CHARACTERS: Rodney, Team, OCs with guns
STATUS: Complete in 12 parts (to be posted as I revise)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Thanks NT, as always.
SPOILERS: All the way through to the fifth season, with some blatant ones for First Contact and Search & Rescue. I’ve seen ‘em all and I’m going to use them all…well, except for the season finale. This probably happens before that.
A/N: This was written as a Christmas gift for my friend GateBiscuit, who requested a team story with “traps, traps, traps!”
A/N 2: I did not set out intending to limit it to the two POVs I did, but that’s how it ended up. Once I’d started down that route, I forced myself to stick with it—just to see if I could. Sorry to make you suffer my attempt to improve my writing skills.
DESCRIPTION: A kidnapped McKay, a determined and angry Team Sheppard, a temple of doom, lots and lots of traps, and a dash of team love. (Originally titled: “The Incredibly Stupid Idea,” which may tell you something...LOL!)
