Why This Must Be Read: This is charming and funny, a great take on them meeting by accident as teens and hitting it off, in the context of an ill-timed McKay family vacation to Florida's Disneyworld... in August. It's sweet, snarky, has excellent characterisation and a great ending - and of course, it's only bearable when you're sure, as I am, that it's a prelude to canon. :)

Why This Must Be Read: This is a tearjerker with a happy ending. It diverges from canon from Common Gounrd. John isn't restored by Todd and as such is sent to Earth for palliative care. Rodney refuses to give up on him, even when he's given up on himself.
