Why This Must Be Read:

Aliens force John and Rodney to not have sex!

If you've spent any amount of time in the Stargate fandom (either SG1 or SGA) then you've probably read at least one fic featuring the "Aliens made them have sex!" cliche. Well, in this story resonant8 gives this well used fandom cliche' a twist. By having aliens make John and Rodney not have sex. It's part of a cleansing ritual and the guys think this should be a piece of cake. Since they go around not having sex all the time. Oh, but if it were that easy then it wouldn't be a test now would it. Somewhere between the pornographic artwork, phallic shaped foods, and aphrodisiac incense not having sex becomes more of a challenge than they ever anticipated.

This fic has a wonderful sensuality to it. The tension between John and Rodney has a slow simmer type effect making you eager for them to finally consummate their desires. All the while knowing that they can't do it just yet. A great read for those who enjoy a nice slow build-up to the hot steamy sex.
