Why This Must Be Read: One of my all-time favorites, and I'm so glad I get to rec it! This fic makes me cry with laughter. Landry! The mini-fridge! The catapult! The story is missing scenes from The Return after the Ancients evicted the expedition from Atlantis, chronicling John's boredom at the SGC. Luckily Rodney is always willing to call, visit, or send strange packages.
In every fandom Shrift writes, her character voices are absolutely note-perfect, and Atlantis is no exception. John and Rodney's interactions here have all the hilarity--and all the underlying sweetness--of the show, dialed up to 11.
Excerpt:
Another box came in the mail on Tuesday. It was a unicorn desk lamp. John had to run down to the corner store for AA batteries just so he could see how hideous it was lit up.
It was pretty hideous.
That evening, John sent Rodney a pink Hello Kitty digital camera. The gift note said: "Show me your office." On Thursday, John got an e-mail from Rodney with what were probably top secret photographs of his office, his lab, his useless assistants, and several priceless Rodney self-portraits that John saved to CD for future blackmail purposes.
"Did you get it?" Rodney asked as soon as John answered his phone.
"Who's the hot blonde?" John asked.
"The incompetent ninny whom I fired today after I took those pictures," Rodney said. "She cried. I hate it when they cry. I never know what to do."
Neither did John. His usual tactic was to find another woman, and shove her at the problem. Female marines never seemed to take that well.
