Why This Must Be Read:

Oh, my god. An AU where John is the shorts-wearing UPS man who delivers Dr. Rodney McKay's books--the (and I quote from the fic:) 'leg-flashing book handler of lewdness.' Rodney is extremely flustered by him, and we get to watch. It's jaw-droppingly brilliant and so very hilarious and seriously, go read it now. I'll even give you some incentive (as if that description of John the Shorts-Wearing UPS Man wasn't enough! READ EEETT):


Excerpt
"I'm actually very smart, you know," he blurts. "Seriously. Like – a genius."

"Like a genius, or a genius?" John asks with another smirk and a tilt of his head.

"A supergenius," Rodney says, relieved to be talking about his intelligence. It's familiar ground, and safe, even though he can see the teasing behind those ridiculous aviators.

"Oh, super," John agrees with more nodding. Rodney can't quite tell whether he's impressed or not. He notices the patch that reads SHEPPARD on John's brown shirt. He's not exactly sure why he wants the delivery guy to be impressed.

"Yes. Super. Super – super – I . . . okay, I have to go now. I have very important books to read and you are quite largely unclothed and bad for my brain. In a good way. I mean – something. Yes. Nice to meet you and – " Rodney slams the door shut in John Sheppard's too-good-looking face and rushes to his computer to order four books by next-day delivery.
