Straight As A Circle by toomuchplor (NC-17)

fandom: Stargate Atlantis
pairing: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard, John Sheppard/Kate Heightmeyer, John Sheppard/OFC
author on lj: [livejournal.com profile] toomuchplor

why this must be read:

In a clever subversion of the classic "woke up gay" plot, one day John Sheppard wakes up straight. John's sudden onset of straightness throws a curveball into his existing sexual relationship with Rodney and forces him to reevaluate both his feelings for Rodney and his conflicting feelings about his own sexuality. It's a meta-commentary on a classic slash trope, a compellidng exploration of the issues of sexuality and self-identity that are central to much slash and a remarkably plausible extrapolation of John Sheppard's personal history and internal struggles. And, oh yes, a rather fabulously unconventional romance too. [livejournal.com profile] toomuchplor ties them together into a fresh and intriguing story that is an absolute delight to read and will give you lots to think about when you're thru.
