Claim Her Own Skin by Reccea (NC-17)

I was quite surprised to see that except for one friendship story, no-one had recced any Rodney/Laura. I figured something needed to be done about that so I'm your Rodney/Laura reccer for the month :)

Why this must be read:

She doesn't feel grounded in her own body anymore.

You can't think of Rodney and Laura without immediately thinking of Duet, so naturally my first rec is a Duet tag. This one deals with the fallout for Laura in being back in own own body, which is obviously quite different to Rodney's :) Laura's sense of awkwardness is well conveyed and Reccea focuses on specific things that you can imagine would be an issue, such as the size of her feet when walking. And Laura comes up with quite a unique and very hot way to deal with this :P The fic is straightfoward and direct in a way that both the characters are, which means the characterisations are spot on. It's not romantic per se, but there's definite tenderness and possibly even affection by the end :)

She says, "I think we should fuck."

If there's one part of Rodney she doesn't know well, it's his face. He doesn't really care for mirrors and she'd been too focused on other things to think about finding one. So she is actually kind of startled that his eyes can get that big.

The rest of it isn't terribly surprising.

"Are you insane?" He jerks around in his chair to look at her full on. "Or wait -- when were you last off-world? Did you get infected by some alien virus that you're being compelled to spread to vital personnel or something? Because let me tell you, alien STDs are not high on my list of souvenirs I want to bring back from the Pegasus Galaxy."

She folds her arms across her chest, positioning them just right so that he can't miss the fact that she isn't wearing a bra.

He swallows, which she just knew he would.

And she says "I haven't been off world since I hitched a ride in your body, so no. No alien viruses, McKay."

Rodney blinks rapidly. She's clear that this is his mind coming up with and dismissing two dozen possibilities in less than fifteen seconds.

He finally settles on, "You're serious."

"I thought you were a genius, McKay." She grabs him by the front of his coat and pulls him off his chair. "Come on. I know you've got the time."

Oh, ya! Though a slasher at heart, I just adore Rodney/Laura. I look forward to your recs. :)
