Title: The True Story of What Was
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Rating: PG-13
Summary: He was really going to have to get back on the blowjob project though. It was not a comforting thought to think that sex was suddenly less important than it used to be just because people like Kavanagh were around.
Disclaimer: Sooo not mine. So, so not mine at all.
Author Notes: Huge thanks to [info]tigs, [info]dayse, and [info]mickeym for beta work.

Oh! I love this piece. John and Rodney are perfectly in character. I adore the idea of Rodney having a blowjob policy. You made this sweet while still allowing them to be guys. Also, Radak's voice is right on. Thank you so much for posting this.

Excellent characterizations all around. Being a Radek fan I was especially pleased with him. :) And I so love the idea that John was in drama-club. The part you chose for him was just perfect. :-D

I'm a huge Radek fan as well. I'm actually a Sheppard/Zelenka shipper at heart, so I had to make Radek a big part of it or else I would never have finished the story. I'm so, so glad you enjoyed it!

Area 51 wasn't exactly teeming with people who he would want anywhere near his crotch.

I don’t know why I find this line so hilarious but I do

and Rodney’s blowjob motto....Just, thank you for that.

i love this kind of relationship - running into each other sideways with both eyes closed - and it's so suited to john and rodney. great story, and one of the rodney-est i've read in a long time.

I love this fic to a degree that is truely ridiculous, lol. I love so many lines, I wouldn't even have space to list them all. But I am making a note to say "I thought I smelled something burning." when someone says "I was thinking." LOL

What a gorgeous story! Just the right balance of humour and romance.

I'm going to have to hit your website and read all you Jack/Daniel and John/Rodney fics now :-)

I wish I had more John/Rodney for you. This is my first one. All my other (um 2) SGA fics have been Sheppard/Zelenka. I've got the Jack/Daniel for sure though.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this fic. :)

I love Rodney's practicalness with the blowjob project, and how he's mostly (sadly) given up on looking for more. Thank goodness John's there to push him :D

And, I love that we get Zelenka too. I always want more than just the pairing characters.

This was so very amusing, I loved it ^.^ I could totally see Rodney thinking he was entitled to monthly blow jobs. I've been digging through fics recently and this inspired me to read your other SGA ones and I'm loving what I'm seeing. Thanks bunches!

Oh, this is so good. I can't believe more people haven't read it! They're missing out, yo. I love the gossip and the sex talk (you know it's gotta happen in Atlantis) and of course, the blowjob motto. And John with his huge crush on Rodney! And Rodney with his obliviousness. Hehe.
Things that made me laugh: drama club, cupcake privileges, Elizabeth being nosy (and lots of other stuff I can't remember at the moment.) John was actually incredibly devious now that I think about it, tricking Rodney into asking him to dinner and all. :-) I really liked the conversation with Ronon on the pier, also. And Teyla wins everything for taking the chocolate and wine and slamming the door! Though I couldn't help feeling a little bad for Rodney (until I remembered that John wants his ass.) Zelenka was lovely and snarky. He deserves lots of blow-jobs for putting up with Rodney. I appreciated that you had believable straight as well as gay couples - I hate when they're *all* gay.

“Yeah.” John looked at him, his gaze slowly moving over Rodney’s body. “So can I.”

Rodney, you idiot, that's so obviously a come-on!

Especially since John was warm and safe and had a way of enveloping Rodney in his arms that made Rodney believe that everything really was going to be okay even if the planet they were currently on was far from home, did not have a ZPM and was populated by short, smelly people that seemed to think Teyla was completely helpless. Rodney pressed a kiss to the wing of John’s collarbone and decided the Enkarians weren’t the worst people they had met in the Pegasus galaxy.

You know when you read something in a fanfic and something shifts and you get that gut-level feeling of "oh yeah, I know that"? That paragraph did it for me. The switch over from Rodney being grouchy to vulnerable, and then the physical comfort... Yeah, that was melt-inducing. *Loves*

Wow. Thank you so, so much for this wonderful feedback! I was trying to formulate an appropriate response besides wow.

I'm so happy that you enjoyed the story and it made you so happy. And yay! I love the bits you pointed out. Especially the lovely, oblivious Rodney bits.

Thank you, thank you again! :)

Just here to drop my two cents into the bucket, too. I haven't laughed this hard in a while -- and to think the funny is still coiled around romance.

Your Rodney and John voices are great. Thanks so much for writing this. ; D

I loved the Radek bits, too.
