Summary
This is the original version of TRB that I posted in the last (sniffle) McShep Match Challenge, 2013. I have since picked it apart back into its component pieces and incorporated the expanded version into the ongoing, much longer work Thawing From The Inside, which is in progress and will eventually incorporate pretty much all of TRB. I was under time constraint and the second half came together in a matter of a couple of days; I had more ideas than that, however, and that's what TFTI is.
But I thought, for completeness' sake, I'd post the original version here. If you'd rather read it as it unfolds, much more gradually, then just watch TFTI, which I am working on more slowly but promise not to abandon.
(The original typos and errors in formatting are probably in here too. Sorry, I tried, but I have no beta readers in this fandom, or at all actually, so any errors are mine and mine alone.)
My work was the first to be posted, which I know was probably just due to availability, but I still felt it a tremendous honor. It was my first fandom challenge, and I really enjoyed it.

Summary
Madison McKay Miller's parents were killed on the night she was to be conceived. The Council of Fairy Godmothers knew Madison was destined for greatness - she was a McKay after all - so who better to bring up a McKay than another McKay? Tradition decreed there be two parents and the Godmothers were sticklers for Tradition. Thus Madison was tasked with finding someone just right for Rodney, but six years later he was still single and the Council was out of patience. They issued Madison an ultimatum: she had one year to find someone acceptable to both Rodney and herself, or face the consequences.

The Wraith are coming, and Atlantis asks for help. (AU from S1 "The Gift". Some dialogue taken from "The Pegasus Project"; need-to-know SG1 canon is that I didn't make up Ganos Lal or what she is.)

"God does not play dice with the universe." -- Albert Einstein
(Einstein liked inventing phrases such as "God does not play dice," "The Lord is subtle but not malicious." On one occasion Bohr answered, "Einstein, stop telling God what to do." -- AIP Center for the History of Physics http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/ae63.htm)
