Stargate Atlantis: House of Cards by tigs
House of Cards (McKay, Zelenka, Sheppard | G | 2,215 words): McKay and Zelenka have a showdown to see who gets to work on the puddle jumpers. It's a fun idea written well.
Excerpt:
So, the competition begins like this: with Radek and Rodney sharing a commiserating look over the as yet empty table. Then Rodney splits his deck, pulls out the card that had previously been in the middle, and lays it flat on the table.
Radek does not have the same strategy. He always begins with the two of clubs, as it is the card of least value in the deck (for most games that he plays, anyway) and thus, he thinks, should always be on the bottom. From there, it does not matter, but it is important to start off on a familiar foot.
