Take Clothes Off As Directed by Helenish (NC-17)

Hi! I'm [livejournal.com profile] valderys and I'll be driving the Stargate Atlantis van for the next month. I signed up for this pretty much forever ago, which potentially indicates how long I've been in the fandom (actually, about 3 years :) I'm afraid I'm almost entirely a McShep girl, and that means most of my recs will be too, although I've found at least one that isn't - and I may look for others through the month. Anyway. Lets start things off with...

Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Length: Mediumish Oneshot, but the source material is longer
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] helenish
Author Website: Helenish.net
Why this must be read:

I can't believe this hasn't already been recced! This fic hit fandom like a bomb at the time -everyone was reccing it and talking about it. It raises some comparatively uncomfortable issues, and although ostensibly offering an interesting AU in a BDSM-based world, it's really talking about issues more fundamental than that - to do with prejudice, and human rights, and feminism, and assumptions. It's also the most touching and heart-aching love story.

John entered the Air Force Academy in 1987; it was only the third year subs were accepted into the flight program. John wasn't the only one in his class, but he was the only one who looked like he did, and it didn't make him any friends.

Hey, I've been trying to get to the site for like an hour and it keeps saying the the website is gone or the name changed or something, I just can't get to the story. DO you know any other sites the story might be on or if the website name is changed or what? I really want to read this and am totally lost. Do you know anything that can help me? :(
