<blockquote>But then Rodney would stand close to him, or be unexpectedly kind, or do something stupid and heroic, and John’s entire body would shout him, that one, Rodney McKay, him. Like the world was a candy store where John could just point and say I’ll have the genius with the big blue eyes and Rodney would be his with a bow on. / John did not ask to sprain his ankle, to be reassigned to the best quarters in Atlantis, or for Rodney McKay to become his new neighbor. But that’s what happened. Post-series. Here’s wishing callunavulgari a very Merry Christmas. She gave me a detailed letter with lots of avenues to explore. I was struck by “domesticity” and “a slow, lazy kind of jam that just makes me happy.” Here’s my attempt at that. <3</blockquote> ➤ aaahhhh I love it

<blockquote>John felt like Atlantis was home from the moment he stepped through the Gate. He just didn't expect that the city would feel the same way. In which Ancients come and go, Rodney reinvents Babelfish, Ronon resumes his career in library science, and Teyla is awesome.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The expedition finds surprising signs of a long-missing race, but a greater surprise lies in store.</blockquote> ➤ what happened to the Furlings? Here is an EXCELLENT ANSWER. Rodney and Jeannie are furling children!

<blockquote>"In this story, an older, unhappy and somewhat embittered John Sheppard from one reality or timeline accidentally replaces the John Sheppard in another one where he and Rodney are a couple, and apparently have been for decades." - skaredykat</blockquote> ➤ mini-sequel here: http://pir8fancier.livejournal.com/350046.html?thread=6665822#t6665822

<blockquote>Summary: Like radiation, Rodney was everywhere, snapping his fingers, talking too loudly and far too quickly, and now, like radiation, he was undergoing exponential decay.</blockquote> ➤ The one where Rodney dies of radiation poisoning

<blockquote>A/N: When I first saw the dating challenge prompt, I realized I've written two slash fics recently that specifically dealt with John and Rodney dating. So, I decided to go in the completely opposite directions and approach the Sheppard and McKay friendship and the impacts their het relationships have on it. So even though there is a relationship at the center of the story, that's not really what the story is about. The fic springs from a canon moment in Sunday and goes several years into the future from there. So, you can think of it as a futurefic, a what-if scenario, and if you really, really squint and are so inclined, you can read it as pre-slash. Special thanks as always to Koschka for the beta. Summary: What if Rodney really did ask Katie Brown to marry him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Buried alive with a teammate on an alien world, and something outside just might blow up the planet. It's a very bad day in the Pegasus galaxy, even by Rodney's impressive standards.</blockquote>

<blockquote>John Sheppard wakes up straight. No, really, that's pretty much it. One day, about two months ago, I thought, "John Sheppard is *so gay* that he couldn't be in a 'woke up gay' story. He'd have to wake up straight instead." And that is what happened here.</blockquote>

➤ In which Rodney and John's brains are temporarily thrown back into their teenage selves' lives
