Why This Must Be Read: We're sill on the Historical AUs and moving on from medieval times to the Elizabethan age. Rhymer excels at hurt/comfort, specifically at Shepwhump, and there's plenty of that, but also lovely characterizations of Rodney, Ronon and Teyla as well. The period feel is great, largely from period details with the English being largely periodless and mostly not Elizabethan. This is a long, satisfying, plotty gen and team-fic, with the bonus of wonderful pencil drawings of them all in ruffs and velvets. A great read and a clever translation of canon across into the 1500s. One of three illustrated longfics by Rhymer set in the 1500s or 1600s and I strongly recommend them all.
"I knew you'd say yes," Sheppard said, still smiling, and Rodney opened his mouth to protest loudly that he hadn't meant anything of the kind, but he couldn't produce the words. They weren't true, anyway, and somehow… somehow Sheppard had known that.
"But I'm blaming you," Rodney said, "when they come for us. You forced me. You held a knife at my throat and you got your tame giant to roar at me, and you forced me to… to cast the fruits of intellect at your illiterate and uncomprehending feet. It wasn't anything to do with me!" he said loudly, in case the Queen's agents were even now hiding under the thin covering of straw. He didn't think they were, but it was always good to be careful, and Rodney was nothing if not discreet.
