Why This Must Be Read: Everyone will already know this one of course, but it was last reccd here 12 years ago, the link wasn't to the AO3, and it just has to be in a set of slavefic recs. :) This is also a tribute as 'Advantage' was my gateway drug into SGA fandom, especially to McShep. It's definitely slavefic but with a wonderful take on the trope, and it's by turns hilarious, touching, and hot. John's accidentally enslaved to Rodney off-world (like you get), but the fic is about Rodney trying very hard - first to ignore John's enslavement, and then trying hard not to be a dick about it (with patchy results - this is Rodney, after all). Along the way there's a massive amount of snark, romance, and even some action. Run, don't walk, if you've never read it, and if you have, time for a re-read! It's a classic.
(There are two podfic versions as a bonus as well, by me and dodi )
