Why This Must Be Read:

agentotter's Sam/Rodney fics are all great fun with great characterizations; seriously, I could rec them all here. I am recommending this specific one because the Sam and Rodney banter is strong in it, which is something I particularly enjoy. It's Rodney's point-of-view and his rambling thoughts are way too funny and spot-on to be missed.

And anyway, he was such a nice guy that once Carter had admitted that she was incredibly wrong, and admitted even in a roundabout way to his intellectual superiority, he would've graciously taken back the proverbial reins, reassumed his rightful leadership role, and gotten everyone working on his own foolproof plan for handling the big emergency. The work would've been done in time for lunch.

It didn't happen that way, and that was her fault, too; she was the one who'd turned around with her hair a little singed around the edges, a smear of gray-black ash across the bridge of her nose, a wild look in her eyes. She was the one who'd held up a raw, red fingertip, bared her neat white teeth at him, and said, "Do not say it, McKay."

Which was why everything he'd been about to say caught on his tongue and took a pratfall back down his throat, and why the pointing hand he'd been planning to use to bring attention to Carter's failures got sidetracked with gripping her gently by the wrist. It was probably also why he said, "You burned your hand," in an entirely too soft tone of voice and carefully cradled her fingers in his palm while he examined the damage.
