SGA fic: Games of Chance

[xparrot]

Posted this (just under the wire, and I only managed that by getting about 3 hours of sleep over the last two nights, so please excuse the giddiness) for sga_flashfic's Second Verse challenge.

The basic idea behind this I had a couple months back, so I was happy to have the excuse to write it. Yet another entry in the field of X-parrot likes playing with multiverses Way Too Much - as always, I am not a quantum physicist, so you'll have to give the technobabble a pass. Thank you, Wikipedia. Also an entry in the field of X-parrot likes Rodney McKay Way Too Much...and if you know me and my favorite chars, you can guess what that means. Sorry, Rodney. Though man, I know why I've been sticking to John's POV. S'hard, trying to channel a genius. Between him and Lex I've kinda regretted not taking HS calculus...(when they were going on in school about the reasons learning math is good for you, no one ever mentioned 'One day you might find yourself ficcing arrogantly brilliant scientific geniuses.')

SGA: Games of Chance {~12,000 words}
PG-13, season 4 cast/spoilers (post-BAMSR, pre-The Kindred)
Sheppard's got one chance, and Rodney is going to find it, no matter what.

I know! Obviously they have no idea how to get us textual folks to do the numbers game. (Though you're way better at sounding like you know what you're talking about than I am - it's impressive, your technobabble is! It could be on the show! ^_^)

Also, I have so much love for this fic! It's infinite kinds of brilliant. ♥ (And I'm off to read it now with my very very late breakfast.)

Yes...I don't like math much at all, except in the context of Rodney! (or a few other geniuses, I've often gone for this type)

Also I know that's an old icon of yours, but man is he pretty in it! Rodney should smile more~...
