Tongue-Tied by Sori (NC-17)

[denyce.livejournal.com]

Hiya! *waves* My name is Denyce and I'll be your SGA driver for the month. Initially I freaked, thinking I wouldn't have enough recs since I'm not as heavily into the fandom as I was when I originally signed up. Though, after checking out what was/wasn't rec’d, against my favorites--turns out I have so many recs I'm still tweaking my list. What you'll find rec'd this month are my personal slash favorites with a mix of pairings outside of the fandom dominance of McShep that are usually overlooked. Also, most fics will also be some version of first-time fic--a fav genre of mine.

Fandom: STARGATE ATLANTIS
Pairing: Rodney/Ronon
Length: 4,900 words

Why this must be read:
Actually I'd rec ALL of Sori's work, but I'll start with what wasn't already listed--and I still find a joy to read. Overall I simply love her Rodney around Ronon; of how she uses Ronon's stoicness to needle and match Rodney's snark. Though Tongue-Tied, is a couple of years old set in S2 it is still one of my favorites. The author's summary: It’s comforting and familiar and Rodney’s distracted by the thought that really, out of all the people on Atlantis, Ronon should probably be one of the least familiar.

A fav bit, one of many:
Rodney gestures madly to the woman behind the counter, flapping hands and mouthing words, and really, is it too much to ask that the mess hall people have the capacity to understand when he’s practically screaming, “No citrus, right? Right?” He’s about to pull out his note cared and write, die, die, like the moron that you are when Ronon elbows him hard in the side and says:

“Shut up, McKay.”
