Pairing: John Sheppard/RodneyMcKay
Length: around 15, 000 words

Why this must be read: This was one of the first slash stories I read in this fandom and it made me fall head over heels for this pairing. i love that Rodney in this is still the snarky Rodney we know and love but there's an edge of vulnerability here as he learns to accept John's help and how their relationship gradually changes because of it.
Excerpt:
"Give me a sec," Rodney snapped, already closing his eyes, tapping at the computer and waiting for Atlantis to tell him whether the water lines were working again. "Hey," he said a moment later, smiling. "That did it."
"For now," Sheppard said, and Rodney could hear all his own irritation and exhaustion in Sheppard's voice.
"Take a break," Rodney said, making a quick decision. "I'm going to get Zelenka and Simpson and maybe Kusanagi in here, see what they've been doing. We need to find the common thread, figure out what's going wrong."
"That would be good," Sheppard replied, exaggerated patience in his voice.
"Go," Rodney said, and he closed his eyes for a second as Sheppard rose. "You can take off the SED if you want. Also, have a shower, now that we've got the lines repaired."
"Okay," came the reply, and Rodney opened his eyes again, braced for the blackness.
It came, and he spent five second wishing Sheppard would wear the SED into the shower, then pushed back from his desk with a sigh and tapped the radio over to the science channel. "Radek, when you and Simpson are done in the infirmary, bring Miko and come to my lab. We need to find a cause."
"I have some thoughts," Zelenka said into his ear, sounding dark.
"Shocking," Rodney replied, then clicked off his radio and rummaged through his desk drawer for a snack.
