Reaction

"McKay & Mrs. Miller" alternate universe (aka, the MENSAverse)
John Sheppard/Rod McKay (yes, really)
5600 words, PG-13ish


"If you shut up a second, I’m trying to ask you to dinner," Sheppard said.

"Isn’t that what– Oh," Rod said abruptly. "Oh, so – key word...not dinner, then."

I really loved this. Usually I don't really like Rod that much, but I loved the humor, and the way you brought out his beta-ness. That explained so much.

Thank you! I'm a fan of beta-Rodney, and I think it's especially fun to write it in the MENSAverse, because you strip out some of the potentially more threatening baggage associated with submission and loss of control. Rodney is a guy who I think has to wrestle with his beta instincts, but Rod is more secure in most ways, and I think he's capable of just enjoying the *hell* out of it when the opportunity presents. *g* There's nothing sexier than a totally confident, well-grounded, high-self-esteem bottom! Now, if only I can think of a story that really requires some serious Rod-related pr0n, I will be in business!

Absolutely! And if you find the excuse for it, I will read it, trust me.

Also, I forgot to say -- I love your little MENSAverse icon! I mean, I don't know if that's what it is or not, per se, but -- that badass look on Rodney's face! JOHN'S LITTLE GLASSES! It totally works.

berlinghoff79 made the icon and it's totally MENSAverse to me. Personally, I'm in favor of any universe that gives me a kick-ass Rodney and John is cool little glasses. Somedays, I am quite shallow.
