Reaction
by Hth

"McKay & Mrs. Miller" alternate universe (aka, the MENSAverse)
John Sheppard/Rod McKay (yes, really)

"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."

Oh, that's fantastic! :D

I liked this. (And I just had to use my lemon-icon, even though it doesn't fit with my reaction to the story. *G*)

I couldn't stand Rod in McKay and Mrs Miller, but you really made me like him in this. I love watching him fumble along in the face of Sheppard's ideas about how things should go, and I like this version of Sheppard who's a bit more openly vulnerable than the one we have, but still determined.

Oh my god, you have now officially made me love MensaVerse Rod and John. Wow - this is perfect, and smart, and so well done. I didn't see Sheppard's freakout coming, and then I was just clutching my heart. Wonderful.

Oh...I had to check three times to see that you'd really written that pairing...and I loved them so much! Slightly awkward, both of them, Rod's pov as not quite as obnoxious as we'd seen him and John a bundle of neuroses but with hints of his background and so toppy!!!

I love mensaverse, and your characters were a great extrapolation of what we know of the two in our dimension and what we glimpse from that ep about theirs. And they're real people, with enough real issues between them to not require elaborate artificial misunderstandings...

Thank you!!!!

Lovely! Delightful! I enjoyed everything about that (although I would pathetically beg for the scene after the end of this story, if it would do any good).

If he weren’t one huge walking neurosis, he’d be boyfriend material. Heh. I like this take on mensa!John.

Rod came across as more Rodney-like and human than in the ep - which is a good thing. :)

Gorgeously done, and I'll just be over here in the corner, dreamily imagining the scene directly after this one... *g*

Oh, this was excellent -- twisted and awkward yet bursting with hope.

Yeah! A new Hth story! And it's awesome! I think yours is the best take I've read on Mensaverse John & Rod. You really followed the canon guidelines without making them ridiculous and now they are in love! :))))

Hah! Toppy!Dork!Sheppard will never get old. I'm very fond of all the Mensa!verse AUs...I want to see more, please. Please? :-)

Oh, YUM! This is just how it would be in the Mensa-verse. If you wrote more of these guys, that would very OK.

This was wonderful! I love your Mensa-version of these guys, and Sheppard is a gem. (And I'd love to see more, too!)

This? Is grand and has made a crappy day significantly better. Thank you. *fervently*

terrific - I adored John's overprotective outburst over the garnish. a complete overreaction but while he can fight the physical threats, how scary that he's not able to protect Rod from unforeseen random stuff like allergic reaction

it was nice to see Rod and Jeannie's relationship through their phone conversation - and even nicer to know they're on good terms

Holy shit. This is a seriously sexyscary fic.

Wow, I absolutely love this story!

I love what you've done with their personalities and their chemistry. Surprisingly I found myself liking your Rod, when usually I think he's just a creepy version of Rodney. The whole dinner scene was really awesome, protective!John and casual!Rod doing their thing. *g*

Oh, man, I really, really love this. I love the way you've fleshed out these two characters, and your extrapolations make perfect sense to me. I love Rod's dawning realization and John's angst, and I love them finding each other. This is wonderful!

This is so charming. I love the combination of things we know about them from our John and Rodney, and the things we know about Rod and his John. You meshed them so well and brought them to life.

Obviously, I click the link and begin reading (because it's a story by you) and halfway through I'm like "Wait, what? Where's Ronon?! O.o"
XD
Loved this.

This was just wonderful. I hope you let us see more of it. I just wanted to have Rodney pick John up and hug him senseless.

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.

I don't read a lot of MENSA-verse, but I really liked this. What really won me over is that no matter what kind of personalities Rodney and John have in any AU, they can still be awkward with each other and still have little blow-ups.

Awww, repressed Colonel!

huh. McKay/Sheppard? *squints* Is that really you? :>)

I really like this, I love that Sheppard is still military, with that cold edge. Fascinating observation by Rod, that Sheppard might have come from money, and it was all in the context of Sheppard's surroundings. Rod seems slightly less oily and creepy, and I love the glimpse that yes, he can sort of really be McKay a little, after all. Awesome.
