De Profundis
by Hth

My journey into OT4 continues. Not as porny as "Works and Plays Well With Others," not as musical as "Headbanger's Ball." This actually...didn't go at all where I expected it to.

There was no set of circumstances where that particular configuration of fire, electricity, cultists, gravity, and sociopolitical upheval was going to give anyone a good feeling, but worse this time than normal, because by that point Rodney had gotten used to all three of them and also kind of more or less fallen in love.

this is really thoroughly beautiful. It's my favorite kind of moresome story -- the kind where the characters really just love their family of choice so incredibly powerfully, and sex is just one aspect of that love.

Absolutely. I went through a phase of trying to make it more of a traditional OT4 story, and then I finally gave up, because I started to feel like it didn't make any real difference whether or not I filled in all the blanks with Sheppard and Ronon, Ronon and Teyla, Teyla and McKay -- the issue wasn't are they or aren't they having sex, it was just at what point they realized how much they needed each other. I'm glad it worked for you the way it finally shook out.
