- Soul Drinkers by ValleyA (EP 6) (Excerpt: "Ronon put up a hand against the brilliant flare of light that came from several recessed portals in the device, then he felt himself drop to the ground as sensations slammed into his head—sensations that just weren't his. He rolled into a fetal position to protect himself from the onslaught. A frenzied rush of emotions and thoughts cascaded into his mind. Teyla. Sheppard. McKay. He felt what they were feeling and he knew they felt what he was going through.")

- The Lady In The Woods by writerjc (EP 10) ("'Ronon?'" Confusion warred with a sinking fear as he registered the murderous intent that glittered in the big guy's eyes. 'You don't want to do this.' John took a half step backward. Ronon charged.")
- Intelligencia by Padawan-Aneiki (EP 11) ("The line between conscious thought and dreaming blurred; John felt a little fuzzy and was still awake enough to mentally grumble about it, but the whispering felt more surreal, like part of a dream. The first voice was feminine, and soft; it reminded him of Elizabeth in a way, and below the drowsy layers he felt a brief stab of guilt. It was joined by others, male; female...a multi-layered sound that John still just barely registered it was so quiet.")
- A Glass Half Empty by ValleyA (EP 12) ("Is it possible for Rodney McKay to be too nice?")

"These short stories were written as a thank you to the readers of Beyond Atlantis and are not part of the Beyond Atlantis Virtual Season Six canon."
- Home by Lyn (Summary: Atlantis has been back on Earth for ten years now. What is the team doing - and given the opportunity, would they all return to the Pegasus Galaxy?")

- The Also-Rans by Helen W.("The team find themselves reliving each other's past experiences.")
- Lessons Not Fully Learned by ValleyA ("Nothing is ever simple and straightforward for Sheppard and McKay, not even with a quick look around off planet. Those two should always keep in mind that history has a habit of biting them on the butt whenever they're involved in things they shouldn't. It's a remedial lesson in Life 101 in the Pegasus galaxy where anything can, and probably will, happen.")
