Why This Must Be Read: When the unpredictable and flighty, rich-boy, John Sheppard, takes a shine to sober paleontologist, Dr. Rodney McKay, chaos ensues. Dr. McKay, engaged to be married and a workaholic, is hopelessly drawn into Sheppard’s escapades when he finds himself responsible for Sheppard’s new pet, a leopard from Brazil

This fic is full of fun and lots of snark. Rodneys day can not get any worse and he is supposed to be getting married and win a grant for his museum so he can finish building his T-Rex. Can you imagine a SGA version of Bringing Up Baby? Well this is the fic for it

[Pink shirt guy was slouched in the driver’s seat of Rodney’s car, mirrored shades perched on top of his head. He appeared to be trying to back out of the tight fit between a shiny black BMW and a brand new Bentley. The valet was in the Bentley, looking frazzled and terrified for his life when he saw Rodney approaching.

“What the hell are you doing!” Rodney screamed, his voice registering an octave higher on the last word.

Pink shirt guy hit the gas a little too hard and Rodney’s roadster backed up over a small green hedge, previously trimmed to resemble a poodle.

“Oh, hey again.” Pink shirt waved in greeting. “I was helping the valet out. That’s my car,” he pointed to the Bentley as the valet climbed out and backed away from the whole scene.

“Great, so let the valet do his job and get the hell out of my car!” Rodney yelled.

“Your car. Your ball. Are you always so possessive?” The car lurched forward, Rodney jumped out of the way, as it made a horrifying screech sliding against the Bentley. Rodney cringed.

“Oh my God! Look at what you did!” He waved his hands dramatically at the damage.

“Oh, crap.” The guy frowned over at his own car. “Well, don’t worry about it. I’m insured,” he finished with a beautiful, lazy grin, momentarily distracting Rodney from his anger.

“You’re… What is wrong with you? Get the hell out of my car!”
