"Unruliness. The way I feel is unruly. I have messy emotions. They kind of exploded everywhere."

Rodney's talks with Heightmeyer are gorgeous; the way they mark Rodney's progress with working through the whole Chaya ordeal is really very well done.

"Surely you don’t think I took your interest seriously." At John’s mystified look, she added, "Oh, come now. Anyone could tell you were far more interested in the competition than the prize."

Norina is just great, drunk Rodney is fun, and oblivious Sheppard completes this beautifully.

Beautiful Air Force Lt. Colonels of either gender didn’t just show up and start kissing him without the universe punishing him in some way.

Recommended because...
There's gossip! And lady's poker! And there are a lot of common people around, who get to speak and don't even die! And there's Sheppard, and McKay, and delightful misunderstandings!

Summary:

Ah, Rodney thought, the thank-you hug, with overtones of the thank-god-we're-alive hug. Elizabeth--she was a hugger. Who could blame her? The Pegasus galaxy would be enough to turn even a casual hugger into someone who indulged several times a week, and now was a time for hugs, if ever there was one.

You know when relief can make you go a bit giddy? And how giddyness can be contagious? Yeah.

Summary: Rodney is not convinced that Cadman is completely gone from his head. She's clearly responsible for turning him gay.

Recommended because...
Rodney's point of view still makes so much sense, even though we know he's just willfully oblivious. Rodney dealing with the fact that Laura died for him (AU spin here), and saying goodbye to her, that is what will make this very much worth your while.

Podfic: on audiofic read by zoetrope


"I came to Atlantis," Sheppard begins, sharp as glass, "with one commanding officer and one second lieutenant. You don't think it's strange that Colonel Sumner is dead and Ford is--" and Sheppard's hand jerks violently to show that he doesn't know what the hell Ford is. "You don't think that says something about me?"
And it's funny, but only then does Rodney feel the weight of his year's experience serving on the away team, because Sheppard is muscling him, getting into his space, like he just might punch him. And a year ago Rodney would have backed down from a physical confrontation, but now he finds himself getting right up in Sheppard's face and saying, with as much hostility as he can manage, "I know just what it says about you. I was there."

This is what happened on earth after The Siege III. Really. It is.
