Why This Must Be Read: Summary: Detective John Sheppard starts his new life in suburbia and becomes steadily captivated by his neighbor, Dr. Rodney McKay, and his son Timothy. This fic started because I wondered why Rodney never got to be the tragic woobie widower in fic. 49,600 words (Plus a dozen short-to-medium-length sequels that highlight their lives together. 84,500 words for all.)
        Rodney didn't go to Atlantis because his wife died and he had a son to care for. John didn't go to McMurdo because he basically told the Air Force ‘Fuck you’ and took a discharge. Now he’s a detective who's moved into a fixer-upper next door to Rodney. After an inauspicious first meeting with the boy, John becomes friendly with Timothy, then Rodney, which eventually develops into a delightful more.
        This (and all the others in the series) is basically an extended Slice-of-Life as John, Rodney, and Timothy get to know, and develop affection for, each other. Very sweet and comfortable, and delightful to read.
