[ex-kisa-haw.livejournal.com]

Author: kisahawklin
Rating: R for violent imagery
Characters: AU!Rodney, Vegas!Rodney, Vegas!John, various AU!Johns, various other AU!SG folks
Pairing: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
Episode: 5.19 Vegas
Categories: slash, angst
Warnings: One of the AU!Johns is dead, and another is a serial killer that tortures and murders children (no graphic description).
Word count: ~8300
Beta: With many thanks to a slew of people - especially silverraven11, ninquelosse, meansgirl, cindyjade, and most especially shaenie, for her mindreading abilities and generosity. All remaining errors mine.
Author’s Notes: So when I realized Vegas was just one big AU, I thought - you know, I really like the idea of AU hopping, and that led to this. Please read the warning if you have any squicks, I don't want to trigger anything.
