Why this must be read:

There was another long pause and Elizabeth wondered if Rodney would ever answer her. It was strange how a man so talkative could suddenly become so silent when trapped in an uncomfortable situation. The stranger thing was he had been in situations a hell of a lot more uncomfortable and had talked the ear off anyone who would listen.

An alternate take on Duet, where Rodney gets stuck in Elizabeth's body, whilst his body is still trapped in the dart. Rather than being the heavily comedic piece that Duet was, Captain Peregrine takes a deeper emotional approach to the situation, including giving Rodney the ability to read Elizabeth's thoughts, and Elizabeth the ability to sense Rodney's emotions.The situation allows the author to show two very different sides to Rodney, his usual abrasiveness becomes even worse when he is in control of Elizabeth, but with Elizabeth he becomes incredibly quiet, disappearing deep into his own subconscious when he believes his presence is becoming detrimental to her

Why This Must Be Read: This is a tag to Sunday. John isn't dealing very well with the aftermath. Actually, he's not dealing at all, and that makes him a bit of an asshole and a lot bitchy. If the humour of the story isn't to your taste, you may end up with a frowny face, but it made me howl with laughter. You'll be the judge.

Why This Must Be Read: We get to watch Rodney have an extended and involved freakout. He is so delightfully neurotic in this fic I can hardly stand it. Also, the story is full of brilliant one-liners. Have an example:

Hypothesis: When life hands you lemons, Rodney McKay goes into anaphylactic shock while everyone else sits around drinking lemonade. Life is one big lemonade stand. Rodney is always nanoseconds away from an excruciatingly painful death.
