Why this must be read:
More challenge fic, from Multiverse 2007. Excellent Rodney voice. Excellent Doctor, and I think both of those things are hard to do. There is lots of twisty time-travelling excellence out of this year's batch of stories, but this is the only one in which the Doctor's singular approach to...well, everything, is forced to deal with Rodney McKay, as difficultly intelligent at age eight as he is at 38 and beyond. Like the TARDIS, the story goes smoothly through time, backwards, forwards, and round and round. Bendy.
And makes me think of this. What year *is* it, anyway?
"McKay," Sheppard drawls, his face adopting the petulant expression that means he has come across something that he cannot charm, threaten, fly or blow up, and he fully intends to blame Rodney for it, "why is there a telephone box in front of my jumper?"
Three words into this sentence, Rodney has already opened the rear of the jumper and is crawling out, calling for Zelenka. The telephone box -- Police Box, proclaim the white letters, but Rodney has never trusted labels and he sees no reason to start now -- doesn't seem to be going anywhere. It has settled neatly in front of the stargate and, inasmuch as a blue wooden box can, is giving off the rather smug impression that neither hell nor high water nor the violently obstinate nature of one Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard is going to budge it a single centimetre.
