Summary
“So, you’re allowed to voice your stupid unfounded insecurities for me to talk you down from, but if I do the same thing, you get mad?” John ventures, rolling over to look at Rodney. He expects his eyes to be hard, to flash in the dark beneath a mask of anger, but when he meets them, they’re only hurt.

Summary
John wakes up at the end of Tabula Rasa.
TEYLA - “Yes. If the distribution of the cure had been delayed any longer, many more people would have died.”
SHEPPARD (worried) - “What do you mean?”
SHEPPARD (looking around) - “Where's McKay?”We pick up from there. It gets mcsheppy and “WAIT OKAY THIS IS SO CUTE” to quote a friend.

John always gets a little thrill when he sees Rodney sign at him across the room, casually dissing people literally standing next to him and John is the only one who knows.

Summary
When the Pegasus parasite begins erasing everything that makes Rodney McKay who he is, John becomes the last thing anchoring him to himself. Through sleepless nights and impossible choices, John holds him together with equal parts desperation and devotion - until Keller intervenes, forcing him to face what it’s cost him to care this much.
After the solution The Shrine provided, the team begins to heal. Everyone except them. John can’t stop hovering, and Rodney can’t stop remembering the things John said when he thought no one was listening.
Love, duty, and survival have always blurred together in Pegasus. But when caring turns into needing, and needing becomes something John can’t hide anymore, both men have to learn what comes after saving each other.
A story about memory, burnout, and the kind of love that endures being forgotten.

Or, another The Shrine Interlude

Summary
An e-mail has landed in the inbox of every member of the Atlantis expedition. It contains a very old and very private video file. It's purpose is obvious. Humiliate and forcibly out the Chief Scientist.
It makes John Sheppard go a little insane.

Summary
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
