mcshep_match Team Angst and man, does it satisfy. This is a unique AU that features a young Rodney and John who run away from foster care. The "transformation" aspect is absolutely riveting.
Everything is so understated and yet it packs a huge punch. It's sweet and angsty, and a horrible situation, but the author's writing style really brings it home. Seriously, this can't be missed.
On the last day of school they filled their backpacks with clothes and food instead of books. Not that they really needed books today, but John had come up with the idea of saying they had to clean out their lockers if anyone asked. Rodney'd sneaked down to the kitchen in the middle of the night and gotten some stuff: apples and Twinkies and bologna sandwiches he'd forgotten to put any mustard or mayo on.
John felt kind of bad about it, but he took twenty dollars from Martha's purse and another ten from Travis's room. It got them tickets on the Greyhound to Denver with enough left over that Rodney didn't totally panic. John smiled at the bus driver and said they were going to visit cousins for the summer.
"Your brother doesn't look too happy about it," the driver said.
"Yeah, he gets homesick."
Rodney punched him on the shoulder, but he was grinning. "I do not!"
The driver smiled. "No roughhousing on my bus now."
"Yes, sir," John said, and gave Rodney a push down the aisle.
They flopped into a pair of seats at the very back and Rodney whispered, "He thought I was your brother."
"I know."
"I'm not."
"I know."
Rodney beamed. "He thought-"
"I know." John laughed, grabbed him around the neck and gave him a noogie. "Shut up. Jeez."
