Why This Must Be Read:
This story does exactly what it says on the label, and still I think it makes a great addition to the McKay/Keller category. Xparrot says in the story notes that she doesn't like this pairing much and wrote this fic to come to terms with it; you couldn't tell from reading it. As someone who does like the pairing, I could only hope the show's writers could pull off writing a relationship this believable and respectful to the characters. (~3,300 words)
