He leaves her at her door – doesn't try to kiss her again, not with people walking past. But he does squeeze her hand for a second, reach out to run a finger over the tender skin at the inside of her elbow before he ducks his head and heads toward the gym. "Breakfast," he says, over his shoulder, and he catches the flash of her smile before he turns the corner.

Sheafrotherdon said, "A little romance; a little swearing; a first-time." This story's adorable - tender and awkward and loving.

The fact was, John had never really gotten the whole Katie Brown thing. Sure she was cute and sweet and friendly and upbeat, but that wasn’t Rodney.

It's about John and Rodney and how they're family

It was a little weird to be scheming a surprise for McKay, but John told himself he would have done the same for anyone on his team.

There's chocolate cake for Rodney, and there's friendly kitchen staff, helping John out, and there's everyone on Atlantis, drawing the wrong (right?) conclusions. This is a fun read the whole way through.
