Background Noise by Miss Pamela (NC-17)
Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS
Pairing: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
Author on LJ:

Author Website: Miss Pamela's World Tour
Why this must be read:
It's not often that I really like background stories -- especially when both of the main characters are pretty much blank slates -- they always tends to veer dramatically from how I see the characters, but
misspamela weaves a wonderful set of stories with this trilogy. I love the format -- McKay's story, Sheppard's story and their story -- with the way it builds and fills in the holes along the way.

Rodney's least favorite thing about the military was that they confused "having the guns" with "being in charge." Rodney considered it his personal duty to set them straight on this.
"Doctor McKay," Colonel Sumner announced in their first private meeting about the Atlantis expedition, "you are an invaluable part of this expedition." He smiled like this was news.
"Yeah, you think?" Rodney asked. "What tipped you off? The fact that I'm the smartest guy here or that, oh, I don't know, I'm the resident wormhole physics expert?" He crossed his arms and stared at the colonel. He'd dealt with this type of military crap for years.
The new guy – Sheppard, the one with the magic gene – smiled at him from just behind Sumner's shoulder. He waggled his eyebrows at Rodney, not quite making faces, but close enough to make Rodney choke back a laugh. Not one of those Air Force guys that took macho to an art form, then. Good to know.
"Okay, smart guy," as soon as Sumner started talking, Sheppard snapped back to attention, eyes fixed on the wall behind Rodney's left shoulder. "You want to play it this way; we can play it this way." He stabbed his finger in Rodney's face. "Just so your guys don't get in the way of my guys, we'll get along fine."
Sheppard rolled his eyes oh-so-slightly. The corner of Rodney's mouth quirked up inadvertently. The new guy was funny, in an entitled, gene-bearing pretty-boy sort of way.
