Hiding in Plain Sight
Author: Xanthe
Fandom: SGA/NCIS crossover

Carson/Caldwell, Teyla/Ronon, Ziva/McGee,
and some other pairings that would spoil
the story if I revealed them.
Gibbs/Ducky friendship.
Rating: NC17 for explicit BDSM sex (m/m
slash, femslash and het) and spanking.

parts of the story.
Wordcount: 200,000.
Summary: When a serial killer murders
three marines on Atlantis, NCIS are
called in to investigate. However, their
arrival brings complications for
everyone – revealing a lie, a prophecy,
a secret and a nemesis.
This
story is set in my BDSM universe, and
takes place a few months after the
events depicted in
General & Dr
Sheppard. You don’t have to
read the other stories in that universe
(General
& Dr Sheppard
and
Coming Home) to make sense of
this although some events from those
fics are referenced in this one,
particularly
General & Dr
Sheppard. Some of the
concepts of the universe are also
referenced.
NCIS – this story is set late in S3/early
S4 of NCIS, but the events of "Kill Ari"
and "Twisted Sister"
have happened. The events of
"Hiatus" won't happen in this universe.
Only Ducky knows the full details about
Gibbs's first wife.
SGA – this story is set early/mid-S4 of SGA,
only Woolsey replaced Elizabeth on
Atlantis instead of Sam Carter, and
Carson obviously didn't die.
For the most part, similar things have
happened to the characters as happened
on the shows but not necessarily
in the same order. It'll be clear as you
read!
The BDSM Universe: The premise of this
universe is that everyone is bisexual
and BDSM relationships are the norm –
there’s a genetic hardwiring for both
bisexuality and BDSM. Most people
identify as either dominant or
submissive and this is their choice and
theirs alone. They usually discover
their orientation at puberty and might
experiment to be sure. There is no value
judgement in being either one -
dominants aren't superior to submissives.
Switches exist but are much rarer. When
couples get serious the dominant might
ask if they can collar the submissive,
and the couple might start eating from
the same plate - a significant ritual in
this universe called "sharing a plate".
Some people don't identify as dominant
or submissive at all, and some people
aren't bisexual, either. This is
mentioned but isn't integral to this
story. People talk about sex much more
easily in this universe than in our own,
and have a different set of sexual
standards.
Things to bear in mind about this
universe:
• It’s a fantasy. I’m not making a case
for such a universe being better than
our own. I’m not even saying this is
what a BDSM/bisexual universe would be
like if such a thing existed *!*. This
is just the way I wanted to write this
universe. This story is primarily
intended to be romantic and escapist. I
can't repeat often enough that the
entire universe is, and is intended to
be, a fantasy, requiring, as so many
fantasy universes do, a willing
suspension of disbelief. The story
totally has internal logic but the
concept is clearly a bit mad.
• In the interests of story flow and
accessibility I don’t concentrate a
great deal on instruction into the finer
points of lifestyle BDSM or
differentiate between different styles
of BDSM particularly. This is not a
how-to guide. If you want to understand
more about lifestyle BDSM, please go to

• This story is clearly meant to be
“big” in all senses of the word. This
universe is all about the big emotions,
the claiming, the collaring, and the
possessive tops. I’ll be the first to
admit that some pretty bonkers things
happen plot-wise but they are
appropriate for this universe, which
lends itself to the melodramatic!
• The people in this universe have been
shaped by a different kind of society,
so while I keep them broadly in
character, insofar as I see those
characters, they are not the same as the
characters we know from the shows. It is
definitely an AU. I wouldn’t write them
this way in the show’s canon universe,
obviously. See point one about fantasy!
• This fic and this universe aren’t
everyone’s cup of tea – it seems
absolutely fine to me that some people
won’t like it - they should therefore
not read it. I’m really just having a
lot of fun with this universe and hope
people read it in that spirit.
Warnings: This story features lifestyle
BDSM, D/S powerplay, and disciplinary
and erotic spanking. There is one minor
character (SGA) death. There are also
scenes of torture.
