A/N: This is a complete rewrite of 'Atlantis Emails', for the purpose of reformatting and a small bit of content addition. It's been four years since I wrote the original story. I hope my skills have improved in that time and I can create a better story for you.

Sheppard sat in his office, bored out of his mind. Colonel Carter had taken AR-1 off the rotation list so they could catch up on paperwork. Only, Sheppard didn't have any. His recent stint in the infirmary gave him all the time he needed to catch up.

Hoping to find something to provide him some entertainment, Sheppard opened up his email account. He blinked a few times when it registered in his head that he had gotten an email from General O'Neill. On his personal email account. Granted it was part of the Atlantis/SGC mainframe, just like his official email, but Sheppard hadn't realized that O'Neill knew what his personal email was.

Subject: If you get bored...

Hey, Sheppard.

Just thought I'd check in with you. Hope you're not letting anything happen to my favorite Air Force colonel. She's a national resource, that one. Anyway, found out that Carter grounded AR-1 for the time being so I decided to be merciful and give you something to occupy yourself with. Tootles!
