Through the Noise to the Sea by Sardonicsmiley and Sherriaisling (R)
Rec Category: AU
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Category: AU, John/Rodney
Warning: Slash
Author on LJ: Sherriaisling
Author's Website: Smiley's No More Tears
Link: Through the Noise to the Sea
Author's Summary: John has time to realize that those fingers are webbed and then the involuntary laughter about finding a mermaid interferes with his already questionable grip on breathing, and he passes out.
Why This Must Be Read:
I'm an avid fan of Smiley's SGA stories. She can whump Rodney like no one can. And she weaves her stories with both finesse and gusto. I feel that all her stories are golden; you can not go wrong with any of them. This story has a special place in my heart because I was there during it's evolution. It started out as a comment fic between Smiley and Sherriaisling. If memory serves, Smiley was responding to a comment to one of her lj entries and this thing just sorta blossomed from there. Ideas flew fast and furious between those two, as they fed off each other. It was a blast following their comments and seeing the story come to life in real time.
One of the things that I love about Through the Noise to the Sea (and really, all of Smiley's stories) is the details that Smiley sprinkles throughout the story. Little glances and gestures that makes her characters real and "human". And as always, her Snarky Rodney is a total turn-on - Rodney is so himself, even when he isn't. The story is a fun and fascinating read. I hope you give it a try.
