Stargate Atlantis Drabble: Crime

First of three of [personal profile] inkblot_fiend's birthday drabbles.

Title = prompt


Stargate Atlantis – implied McKay/Zelenka – dark/horror – PG-13

Crime

“Stop.”

Rodney doesn’t move from the console. “Shut up and let me work! We’ve got…” he glances at his watch. “…shit, less than thirteen minutes until the system catches on to me.” 

Radek walks to the edge of his cell. “What are you doing, Rodney?”

“Getting you out!” Rodney’s eyes squeeze shut. “It wasn’t you, okay?” 

“Please stop,” The words are low and sibilant. He’s standing right above Rodney, on the other side of the invisible barrier.

 “You’d rather die?” Rodney snaps, pulling out the last crystal. 

“I’ll still die,” Radek says. “Just not alone.”

The force field flickers out.

Ooooooh! I adore Evil!Radek. Thank you! This is fabulous. *g* (Damn drabbles for being so short though! I want more ... more I tell you!)

Hee, thank you very much! Halloween put me in mood for some dark fic. I have longer fics in works though sadly no evil!Radek. Drabbles seem to be the only thing I have time for lately though...

*sighs* I know the problem re: time. [livejournal.com profile] pushkin666 (below) and I have some funky stuff with evil!Radek plotted for a sequel for "Your Reward" but alas, time and so forth has not yet allowed it to become something outside of our evil!Radek-loving heads. ;-)

<3 Evil!Radek.

Now I want to know what happened. Heeeeee.

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, evil!Radek is oddly appealing.

Bwahahaa! Mine is an evil laugh! In my head I have an idea of what happened but I'll leave it up to the reader's imagination...

[identity profile] kanetsidohi.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm completely lost!

Is Radek evil??? Why? What happened? Did he hurt someone? Is he going to hurt Rodney?

Pleeease, I need answers!

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I like leaving a lot for the reader to imagine because what you don't say is often scarier that what you do. So yes, in my head I have answers but I think maybe you are beeter of just filling in the blanks yourself...

If drabbles like this drive you mad, I do have actual longer SGA fics too in case you want to check them out. You can find my SGA fics here (http://kat-lair.livejournal.com/40765.html#cutid9)

I love your drabble.
Short, but it says all that needs to be said. No more, no less.
And the end, all creepy that lets the rest of the story to be told by your imagination.

In my opinion, is just... perfect. So, thank you for it!!!

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I'm sure what happens in reader's imagination is far creepier than anything I could have written.

[identity profile] pushkin666.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh that's nice *g* I do like an Evil!Radek and I already have so many ideas about this fic.

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you hun! And I'm sure the fic has given you all sorts of scary ideas... I shudder to think them. *gg*

[identity profile] pushkin666.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, but the seed started with you *g* I particularly love the word sibilant.

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Why do you always blame me for these things, I don't know *polishes halo*

"sibilant" is a particularly tasty word, it's true.

[identity profile] pushkin666.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
well you should polish your halo because it needs it *g* just kidding ...

sigh. poor Rodney, i have images of what's happening to him right now and I'm sure that Radek is enjoying himself *g*

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure what you're implying there... I'm a good girl really. Honest.

Poor Rodney indeed... And Radek is unlikely to stop at him.

[identity profile] inkblot-fiend.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Radek?! :O

I really love that... the tension and then the last line just makes me go "OMG BUT WHAT HAPPENED THEN?!"

Thank you! Awesome drabble... :D

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
\o/ yay, you liked! *is relieved* AFTER THE LAST LINE RADEK REACHED OUT A HAND AND--

More birthday drabbles later this week.

You are evil.

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2007-11-07 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. All the cuteness is just a front.
