Summary: Teyla Emmagan, MMA fighter, is the first to respond when Rodney McKay, erstwhile scientist, is being mugged on the streets of Colorado Springs. John Sheppard helps rescue him, and Rodney, who much prefers curling up with his cat Pauli, is drawn into the world of MMA, friendship, and John Sheppard.
Why This Must Be Read: This is one of my favorite fics by Nagi, which is saying a lot considering her many, many amazing fics. Rodney is slowly drawn into the world of MMA fighting, pulled in by John Sheppard. I love the friendship Rodney has with Miko, Radek, and Sam - it feels genuine and warm. Rodney even begins to take self-defense lessons, and it takes work to make their relationship work between Rodney's job and John's training. The writing is great, the characterizations are spot on - this is a great fic if you want to have something well-written and fun, nothing too angsty.
