Why this must be read: Amnesia Fic #3. This one's a little different in that it deals with an Ancient Device causing selective amnesia. Very selective. In fact, Rodney remembers everyone and everything except John Sheppard, and John can't figure out what could be so terrible about their friendship that Rodney apparently wants to forget him entirely. Worse, Rodney seems happy not remembering Sheppard - at least initially. However, time spent together (including being trapped on a jumper alone!) leads to some interesting revelations about what might be at the root of the problem. Add to that the possibility of being able to restore Rodney's memories at the expense of any new ones he's created, and you've got a wonderfully complex story about trust and taking chances.
Rodney's gaze, which had been wandering around the room, came back to meet John's, and his smile diminished. "I'm sorry," he said. "Do I know you?"
"Oh, very funny," John said, and Ronon stepped up behind him.
"You don't know who we are?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Ronon," Rodney said with a roll of his eyes. Then he turned back to John and stuck out his hand. "Dr. Rodney McKay."
"Wait," John said, because this had to be a joke, didn't it? "You know Ronon, but you don't know me? What the hell did that thing do to you?"
"I came here with Ronon and Teyla," Rodney said with a little frown. "You must be new."
"Oh, dear," the Leader of Hlexwa said faintly.
"Rodney," Teyla said, stepping up to put a hand on his arm. "You know John. You have known him longer than either myself or Ronon."
"That's perfectly impossible," Rodney said with a twitch of his chin. "I've never seen this man before in my life. Although he's apparently from Atlantis," he added, squinting at John's uniform, and then his hair. "Don't tell me. An anthropologist?"
John put his hands on his hips, because this was getting weirder by the minute. "Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard," he said. "United States Air Force. Ring any bells?"
"Really?" Rodney said, and something in John's gut went cold, because drama award or no, he'd never seen Rodney pull off a deception this elaborate. "Are you sure? That hair's not regulation."

I've dug this author's stories in another fandom so, I'm sure I'll like this one too. :)
